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.

TLC is “done” with Angela Deem. That’s according to a 90 Day Fiance blogger who says the contentious reality TV star hasn’t been asked to return to the franchise. On Friday, @shabootydotcom posted on Instagram that Angela has been “canned,” “shelved,” and “banned” by the network.

I thought buying a townhouse was the safer bet. Less maintenance, right? Well… joke’s on me. The HOA fees are outrageous, and surprise—still tons of repairs! Multiple leaks, roof issues… I’ve poured so much money into fixing things, and honestly, I probably would’ve spent the same fixing up a small house. At least then I’d have a yard. I want another dog, but now I feel stuck waiting years to afford a house. Looking back, those SFHs that needed work weren’t that bad. I wish I hadn’t been so scared of the unknown.

I get it—landlords can show a place when selling, but how often is reasonable? I’ve had nearly 15 showings since February, plus an open house. I work remotely, and buyers have walked in during meetings, asked me about the building like I’m the leasing agent, and one even let their kid run around my living room.

My dog of six years caught a cold, and my mom gave him Tylenol. By the next morning, he was gone. A simple online search would’ve told her that dogs can’t have Tylenol, but she never bothered to check. She’s given him grapes and chicken bones before, too. I was away at school, and my family didn’t even tell me until a week later—after they had already buried him. I never got to say goodbye.

Listen, sellers who overpaid in 2020-2022 and now think we’ll subsidize your mistake? Not happening. I saw your house listed at 400k in 2022–congratulations, you got conned by a well− meaning realtor. Now you’re asking 500k for the same avocado-green walls and outdated HVAC? That’s not a "principle" issue – that’s math.

When I bought my first house, I thought I was finally free—my own space, my own rules. Then I met the HOA. At first, it seemed harmless. A small monthly fee, some basic upkeep rules. No big deal, right? Wrong.

Guys, I need your help. My roommate in the single dorm is giving me major creeps. We’ve barely spoken since move-in, and now things are getting wild. Last week: I’m walking barefoot out of the shower, put my shoes on the shelf, and turn around to see him half a foot away—I was just in a towel! I screamed, he jumped back, grabbed my wrist like he was gonna attack me. Now I can’t even walk into the bathroom without panicking.

You ever feel like you’re just done before the breakup even happens? That was me about a month before my ex and I officially called it quits. We were doing the whole long-distance thing—only 200 kilometers apart, but it might as well have been a world away. One weekend, I just realized… I didn’t care anymore. I didn’t want to drive two hours to see him, and I definitely didn’t care about him not driving to visit me either. Those little things that used to annoy me? I just couldn’t be bothered to even be mad about them anymore. I didn’t want to argue, I didn’t want to make an effort, and I sure as heck didn’t want to be intimate.

The 101st Airborne Division sent an unspecified number of soldiers to the U.S. southern border in January, and a Thursday press release said about 300 more soldiers are being sent.

If I could erase one thing from my past? I’d forget every time I prioritized other people’s approval over my own happiness. My family’s gotta this toxic ‘men fix everything’ mindset—even my sister swings between obsessive love and hatred in her relationships. It’s like they’re stuck in a black-and-white cartoon.

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.'

So here’s the deal: I’m in a marriage where the love seems gone, but we’re still sticking it out—for the kids, family, and all those other reasons you can’t just walk away. But honestly, it's hard to face a “failed” marriage every day. Here's what’s worked for me:

My first time shopping at Louis Vuitton was such an unforgettable experience! I didn’t make an appointment, but the super friendly staff at the door made me feel welcome right away. After settling in, I started browsing—they have so many new and unique items!

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a dedicated foster-based dog rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a loving gentle giant named Demi, a Cane Corso who has captured hearts with her affectionate personality.

My old workplace had the best lunch system: 11:30-2:00 window, coverage swapped, zero drama. Fast-forward to new management: "EVERYONE MUST LUNCH AT EXACTLY 12:00. NO EXCEPTIONS."

Hey everyone, let’s talk about this: If someone is riding your bumper, do you speed up or play it cool? Here’s my recent experience. I merged onto a winding road heading home (no-passing zones, obviously), and the car behind me was basically glued to my rearview. I gradually increased my speed from 55 to 65 mph over the first 5 miles, but they stayed dangerously close. When we hit the long, straight stretch? I pressed the gas pedal to the floor. Lost ’em temporarily, but then they started gaining speed again—only to pull into my neighbor’s driveway like nothing happened.

This low rider has tiny legs but weighs in at 60 lbs, an absolute tank of a dog," explains the nonprofit shelter. "Chunk is some sort of bully breed mix. English? Maybe. Whatever he is, man is he cute! His smoothy face and constant snorting adds to his charm."

Denver’s homeless hotels and clogged traffic on Pena Boulevard dominated the public comment period Monday during the City Council meeting. Homeless advocate Ana Miller told the council the conditions at the former Best Western homeless hotel on Quebec, one of many such hotels owned by the city, are “Absolutely grotesque … worse than most poorly run prisons ....(I’m) tired of hearing things are fixed. When you’re done using (a hotel) it will need to be completely gutted for habitation again. I want the council to look into these conditions and do something about it. Push for better oversight of how they’re running their shelters.”
