Dear Ellen I wanted to write to you today because I have a sister who was just diagnosed with lung cancer, She is a loving mother, Wife , and Grandmother. to start she is a very caring person is always doing for people in her life. Her and brother In law have been together 26 years, they adopted there grandbabies twin girls which are now 5 years of age, my sister was with her job for 20 years, she always thinks about others before herself, that's why I'm writing to you, Since they found out 2 month ago she had the cancer they have no cure for and was starting chemo and radiation . She cant work and husband struggling to make ends meet, They had to move closer to the hospital so the drive wasn't to long, with no income other than my brother in-law coming in has to pay for hospital bills, rents, and taking care of family, they are really struggling , I so desperately want to help her in anyway I can for I know she don't have long to live and want her to be worry free. I watch you faithfully every day and love you Ellen and I have never thought that I would ever do this. But for my beautiful sister I am. Not sure if this will reach you, I'm hoping it does , Sincerely Victoria Chalker

What should I say to veterans that's respectful?

Thankfully this practice has never really taken off in Australia though I have been ‘thanked’ a few times, but it really does feel very awkward when you are on the receiving end. It mainly seems to come from very young people, and I am guessing they have seen it in American sources and have assumed it is somehow appropriate. But for me it is a complete conversation stopper, because I never know how to respond.I joined the navy for several reasons. Yes, it was partly to serve my country, and yes, if necessary, I would have died if I had to. That was what I signed on for. But mostly it was for personal reasons, and I approached it the same way I did any other job, so it feels very strange when somebody says thank you for that.And there are occasions when it can go from being awkward to being downright embarrassing, which happened to me once in the USA. I was dining with some friends in Los Angeles and we were sharing some tales of our misspent youth. I was in the middle of a story about one of my naval experiences when some friends of the hosts joined our table.When I had finished, one of the new arrivals solemnly said to me ‘Thank you for your service’. I assumed she had missed the point that I was talking about the Australian and not the US navy and explained it to her. Her response was to grasp my hand, gaze at me soulfully, and say in a voice throbbing with emotion, ‘Yes, I know. But you still served!’ There was no doubt at all she was entirely sincere, but all I wanted to do was crawl under the table.So speaking for myself alone, by all means ask me about my time in the navy. I have a thousand stories. But I would much prefer not to be thanked.

How do other Americans feel about people from New England?

I live in Ohio, but went to school in Maine and thus have a lot of friends who currently live in New England, particularly Boston and Portland. They’re all quite nice, but then again they are my friends, so I may be biased.One of them came here to Cleveland for law school. I recall him being surprised that strangers would talk to him in places like elevators. So I suppose one could say that New Englanders are not as friendly to strangers as people are here in Cleveland, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t friendly when introduced. They are just less likely to start a conversation with the person standing next to them in line at the checkout counter of a store, or other places where strangers come together.I’ve also found that driving in Boston can be quite a challenge. They can be rather aggressive drivers, so one must be very alert. Making left turns when the light turns green rather than waiting for oncoming traffic to pass is particularly startling. This is a bit of a stereotype, but I have found that I relax more when driving once I hit the New Hampshire border.

Is Canadian money freely accepted (although discounted) in most US border cities (like Detroit & Buffalo)?

Some American locations will accept Canadian money at a posted (and usually unfavourable exchange rate).The most obvious one where I saw signs posted was the NY State Turnpike (I-90) where there are large signs on paper where it is written “Canadian Currency discounted 20%” I have paid my toll in CAD when I didn’t want to give a $50 USD bill for a $2.50 toll, so I gave a CAD $5, which was considered a USD $4 and they gave me $1.50 USD back.There was a hotel and restaurant in Watertown NY that had large signs out that Canadian dollars were accepted at par. I know in the past other locations looking for Canadian tourist dollars would do this as well.There are several stores when making a credit card purchase will prompt you if you want them to do the exchange and charge you in Canadian dollars or charge the original price in American dollars (Sears in Watertown did this, and I think I remember another place as well)So Canadian money may be accepted at various places but I don’t know if you can consider it freely accepted.

What are some late night bars/clubs in Boston/Cambridge/Somerville? I.e., places that stay open past 2am (they obviously wouldn't still be serving).

Honestly, there aren't many... nothing really stays open that late. I actually think its agains Boston law to serve alcohol past 2:00am, so it's quite improbably you'll find anything like that you're looking for.However, I've hear some rumors about restaurants in Boston's Chinatown that if you’re looking for something to drink, ask for the “cold tea.” Some servers will feign ignorance.  Some will give you a wink.  Some will exclaim, “You want beer?” so, if you’re lucky, the server will return with a teapot full of Heineken.  To help in your late-night excursions though, here are the restaurants I know of open past 2:00am:Falafel Palace (no drinks but one of my local go-tos)25 Central Square, Cambridge617-864-0827, falafelpalace.netOpen until 3:00amWok N Talk23 South Huntington Avenue, Jamaica Plain617-487-8262, wokntalkboston.comOpen until 3:00amEl Triunfo147 East Berkeley St., South End617-542-8499, www.eltriunfo-boston.comOpen until 4:30amGolden Gate Restaurant66 Beach St., Chinatown617-338-7721Open until 4:00amSouth Street Diner (one of my favorites)178 Kneeland St., ChinatownOpen 24 hoursNew Yorker Diner39 Mt.
