A heavy smoker for years, Pleshette died in Los Angeles from respiratory failure on January 19, 2008. She was only 70 years old, and this is her story.

Former Black Eyed Peas hip-hop pop-music front-runner Stacy Ann Ferguson, a.k.a. “Fergie,” is now a half-century old, a.k.a. “50.”.

I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner. Dating an older man is the most relaxing experience of my life. He talks about exactly three things—his investments, his espresso machine, and his perfectly curated vinyl collection. And honestly? I just sit there, sip my coffee, and let him handle everything else.

Listen up, fellow Americans! I've learned the hard way that hospital billing is a minefield. My personal experiences have taught me one crucial lesson: NEVER pay a hospital bill without thorough scrutiny. I once received a mysterious bill during college that turned out to be for someone with my same name who had no insurance. Last year, they overcharged me $100 and even sent it to a collection agency after I spent hours on the phone challenging it.

Gen X’ers swear they had Mad Max-level freedom as kids: biking miles alone, playing in woods until streetlights came on, and surviving on PB&Js packed in brown paper bags. But millennials/Zillennials side-eye this like, “Sure, Jan.” So—did 80s parents really not care, or is this just Hollywood romanticizing?

My mom married my Texan stepdad two years ago after splitting with my dad (who moved to Florida). My stepdad’s ultra-conservative—he hates that I’m applying to art school (“useless degree!”), shames me for dating (my boyfriend’s 25 and a mechanic!), and constantly trashes my mom’s “California parenting.” Now that Mom’s pregnant, he’s pushing me to leave our Arizona home by August when I graduate.

Housekeys Action Network Denver, or HAND, an advocacy group for people experiencing homelessness, says donations are needed to place migrants living on the streets of Denver with children in hotel rooms.

So I was sipping coffee at this café today when I eavesdropped on two older guys next to me. At first it was just small talk, but then one said:. 'You know, I worked my whole life to retire comfortably... and now that I’m here, I have no idea what to do with myself.'

When Tension Took Control… During a Pap Smear … 🤣. I went in for a routine pap smear, nervous as hell. The room was cold, the speculum felt like a foreign object, and my mind was racing with worst-case scenarios. Then, mid-exam, I felt this sudden urge to fart—nothing I could control. My face turned tomato red, the tech froze mid-procedure, and I heard her whisper to the nurse, “Did she eat beans for breakfast?”

Denver advocate for the homeless Amy Beck told the City Council Monday that 600 families are living on the city’s streets. It’s a striking increase from just 18 unsheltered families listed in Denver County on the 2024 Point in Time count dashboard.

Several migrants from Venezuela virtually attended the Denver City Council meeting on Monday and spoke during public comment period about living on the streets. They said they are living out of their cars or even sleeping on the pavement because no shelter space is available in Denver.

I’m in a challenging situation with my boyfriend of 18 months. Jake (28) and I (26) have been living together for six months, and lately, he’s been expecting me to take on what I’d consider traditional “wife duties” despite us not being married or even engaged.

So here’s the deal: My Bengal cat, Mr. Whiskers (aka “the tiny serial killer with a cute face”), vanished two days ago. I assume he slipped out when we opened the door in the morning. Panicked, I posted a “Lost Cat” plea in our neighborhood group chat. Minutes later, the property management called saying Mr. Whiskers had been “rescued” by a local wildlife sanctuary. It was already dark, so I had no choice but to beg them to help.

Sharing this family lore as a cautionary tale: My little brother’s middle name is William Nelson [Last Name]. My parents thought they’d picked a “strong, classic” combo… until a neighbor burst out laughing and said, “You named your kid Willie Nelson and didn’t realize it?!” Cue 20+ years of jokes about whiskey, weed, and country music.
