We were together for a while, then stopped so we could both try to find someone closer to our ages. Neither of us did, and we recently started seeing each other again. Although we are good for each other and compatible in many ways, we are realistic that our relationship isn’t long-term for major reasons. (I want children; he’s happy with grandchildren. He wants to travel after retirement; I’m just starting my career.) We live for the moment and don’t dwell too much on the future. My problem is, this time I’m really falling in love with him. Last time, I was reluctant to become emotional because I was afraid of getting hurt. But this time, I am all in. Can any good come of this? We meet each other’s relationship needs in the here and now, but is the end just heartbreak? -- LOVING FOR THE MOMENT DEAR LOVING: It’s time for you to start compiling a list of the pros and cons of this romance. You and this man are at different stages of life and have very different goals. If you really want to have a family and a career, you will have to sacrifice something for it, and that “something” may be devoting much more time to this man. Sorry, but something’s gotta give. ** ** ** DEAR ABBY: Recently, my husband and I were walking down the sidewalk in our neighborhood and came across $160 in cash strewn all over the ground. We picked it up, and as we were doing so, our neighbor came outside. We knew her husband had just gotten home, and the money was near his car, so we asked if it might be his. We handed her the cash and told her to let us know. Two weeks have gone by and no one has claimed it. Our neighbor still has it in her possession, and has men- tioned in passing that we should spend it on toys for our kids or food/drinks at the next get-together. While I think these are OK ideas, I’m a little bitter because my husband and I found the money, and I feel we should be the ones who get to keep it if no one comes forward to claim it. I don’t want to damage the friendship we have with our neighbors, but I feel like we’re losing a bit. What do you think? -- FINDERS KEEPERS DEAR FINDERS KEEPERS: I think that before handing over the money, you should have had your neighbor ask her husband if he had lost any and how much. Because you didn’t do that and they have the cash, perhaps you should “remind” her that “per her suggestion,” you would LOVE to spend some of it on toys for your kids, and ask for some or all of it back. If she’s a good neighbor, she’ll agree. If not, you will have learned an expensive lesson. ** ** ** DEAR ABBY: I have a good friend I always invite to attend parties and events. She invariably RSVPs accepting the invitation, but never shows up or explains her absence. This has been going on for years and it hurts my feelings. Do I have to keep inviting her? -- COLORADO HOSTESS DEAR HOSTESS: Allow me to offer you some insight: The woman’s behavior is extremely rude. “Good friends” do not treat each other this way. If you’re asking my permission to scratch her off your guest list, you have it. samoa news, Thursday, June 15, 2017 Page B15 Page B16 samoa news, Thursday, June 15, 2017 Vikings pick Elisapeta Soliai Fagasoaia Fa’agata Randy Moss, Sunrise: Feb 21, 1952 - Sunset: June 15, 2016 Today’s the anniversary Of the day that we lost you With hope and happy memories Ahmad Rashad We face each day Your influence still guides us And we still feel you near for Ring of Honor What we shared will never die EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. some, it might have been arro- It lives within our hearts (AP) — Randy Moss made gance.

Moss will be inducted Sept. 11 during Minnesota’s season opener, a Monday night game that Moss would already be at for his duty as an ESPN analyst. “It was definitely humbling, and I’m speechless,” Moss said, then recounting for reporters his surprise Wednesday upon discovering the purple jersey bearing his name above the white 84 numeral in a frame on the wall outside the room where he met with Wilf and other Vikings officials. Then Moss, followed by a camera crew on his every move, watched the Vikings practice and gave the players a brief pep talk at the end. “What I took to heart was what Randy said at the end of the practice,” said defensive end Brian Robison, the longest-tenured player on the team. “I’ve always lived by the motto that, in order to be the best, you have to work harder than the rest. He broke us down today and said, ‘You have to work harder than anybody. You have to take advantage of every opportunity that you get.’” C M When Moss slipped down Y K the 1998 draft board, with other teams turned off by the trouble he got into during his college years, then-coach Dennis Green and the Vikings sure took advantage of their opportunity. Moss set the NFL rookie record with 17 touchdown receptions and earned his first of three All-Pro honors with the team. There were behav- ioral problems along the way, and five-figure fines to pay, but Moss not only electrified a stag- nant fan base but prompted rival Green Bay to revamp its draft strategy for defensive backs so they’d have bigger players to cover him with. “The one thing that I will tell you, man: the love, the passion that I put into this game. To
