Dear Amy: My roommate âBartâ and I are mostly on great terms with one another, but a few times a month, he and I go through a frustrating routine.
It usually starts with me casually expressing my opinion on something, during the course of an otherwise normal conversation.
If he disagrees, he gets angry and curses at me. I ask him if we can talk about it, and then he storms off, doesnât talk to me for days, and then, when heâs ready, heâll start talking to me again.
Iâm enabling his behavior by dropping the subject and letting him think itâs OK if he mistreats me in this way.
THIS MORNING.Â
It s a damp and rainy Sunday morning out there! Temperatures are milder in the upper 40s and low 50s, but rain will continue through this morning and visibility will be poor in some areas due to this coastal storm system. The heaviest rain will be between 6 am and 10 am for parts of our state. We can expect to get .5 inches of rain or more is possible for coastal locations.Â
High temperatures today will be mostly in the upper 50s, below average for normal high temperature for April 25th- 65 degrees. The rain will push out to the east by noon/ 1pm and then cloudy conditions will gradually clear into the evening. We are expecting to even see some sunshine in parts of our state!Â

Prevent the leaks
Your most effective tool against a flood or leak is being ready ahead of time. Keep your gutters and downspouts clean, as they can often contribute to a leaky basement. Check your appliances regularly for leaks and fix any problems promptly. Even a very small leak can cause tremendous unforeseen damage.
