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.

Jonah Bevin, the adopted son of former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin and his wife, Glenna, has filed a legal action asking to intervene in their pending divorce case, which the couple told the court this week they are ready to settle .

I’m stuck in a moral nightmare and need advice. Two coworkers at my job are having an affair, and I’m certain of it. The man is married with a newborn baby, and the woman involved is also in a relationship. Last week, I walked into work early for my shift and found them alone in the break room, giggling and leaning way too close. When I awkwardly joked, “Shouldn’t he be home with wife and baby?” The woman said "I don’t care about that.” I was stunned.

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?

It started with a perfectly normal Tuesday afternoon. I was working from home, minding my business, when I heard aggressive knocking at my front door. Standing there was Barbara, my next-door neighbor and newly elected HOA board member, clutching her phone like it was a weapon.

I grabbed avocado toast and coffee at a casual café yesterday. The total was $15, but the tablet screen prompted a tip starting at 25% ($3.75) on top of an auto-added 15% “service fee” ($2.25). No signage warned about automatic fees, and the cashier just stared at me when I asked to remove it. The kicker? I picked up my order at the counter and bused my own table!

Virginia fans of The Bold and the Beautiful may have noticed that Steffy Forrester Finn (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) has been standing behind objects, wearing loose or dark clothing, and putting her hands in front of her stomach. The actress has four sons, Rise, Lenix, Brando, and Valor, with her husband, Elan Ruspoli.

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.'

As a 45+ vegetarian since my 20s, I’ve prided myself on clean eating—until my recent bloodwork showed high cholesterol. How?! I mostly eat whole foods like lentils and quinoa, though I’ll admit to weekly indulgences in processed meat substitutes (Beyond Meat, Daiya cheese). My doctor warned that coconut oil in vegan snacks and sugary sauces might sneak in saturated fats.

My sister moved back home 5 years ago to care for our aging parents. I get it - she sacrificed her career, social life, everything. But now they’ve updated their will to leave her EVERYTHING.

Regional offices assisting U.S. citizens with Social Security benefits are being closed by the Trump administration. The Department of Government Efficiency has terminated leases for five of Georgia’s 34 Social Security offices.

Buying a condo and dealing with renovations was exhausting enough, and now this… I've been so unlucky lately. I bought my place in December and registered with the HOA, only to find out they raised the fees starting February. I contacted the HOA and found out they notified the seller about the hike a few days after I signed the contract. But here's the kicker: none of this was disclosed in any of the documents I received. I’m starting to feel like the seller intentionally hid this from me. Does anyone know if the seller is legally required to give me all the disclosures before I signed? Feels like I just got blindsided, and I have no idea what to do next.😮‍💨

A friend of mine just helped his mother secure a Section 8 apartment in a great neighborhood. The place is beautiful, but the upfront costs? Absolutely insane. The landlord required $15k upfront, including a broker fee, just to allow her to rent under Section 8.

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.

My wife and I are struggling to agree on tithing. She’s been attending church regularly for years, and while I respect her faith, I don’t participate. Recently, she asked to start giving 10% of our joint income to her church, which is a significant amount for us financially. I told her I’m uncomfortable donating that much to an institution I’m not involved with, and it turned into a heated argument. She says tithing is non-negotiable for her faith, and my refusal feels like a rejection of her values.

I just had the most frustrating interview experience yesterday. The hiring manager kept circling back to when I "plan to have children" throughout our conversation. As a 32-year-old woman, I thought we were past this in 2025!

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. Mom says she’s “too stressed” to stand up to him, even though I planned to live here while working part-time.

I share an apartment with a coworker who has chronic fatigue. Her family mentioned her health struggles upfront, asking me to “be understanding” about messiness. Initially sympathetic, I didn’t anticipate daily issues: unwashed dishes, food left rotting in shared spaces, and stained carpets from spilled meals. I’ve tried chore charts and reminder apps, but she ignores them unless I nag.

CALIFORNIA – California federal judge William H. Alsup, ordered, March 13, the Trump Administration to reinstate thousands of employees who were recently mass-fired. Alsup ordered immediate reinstatement of terminated probationary employees of the Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Interior, Energy, Defense, and Treasury departments. These agencies must also cease termination of probationary employees, effective immediately.

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 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.

LOUISVILLE — An unusual bit of courtroom drama unfolded Friday when former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin — acting as his own attorney — grilled his adopted son, Jonah, about an emergency protective order the son is seeking to keep in place against Bevin.

Sharing my petty (but effective) HOA revenge story. For years, I lived in a neighborhood where parking in front of your own house was banned. I followed the rule grudgingly… until I got slapped with a $50 fine for a car I didn’t even own. The kicker? The car belonged to a random visitor parked briefly in front of my house.

My parents’ will splits their estate equally between me, my brother, and sister. Growing up in a toxic environment where my mother was emotionally abusive, I’ve worked hard to build stability for my daughter, who’s now in college. My brother already owns two homes—one occupied rent-free by his adult child—yet his kids insist it’s “fair” to buy out my share of our childhood home for $15K, despite its $120K value. I’ve demanded a professional appraisal and equal split to support my daughter’s education, but they’re accusing me of selfishness. My brother even proposed a bidding war, which feels manipulative.

Bamboo seems like a zen, low-maintenance garden staple—until it takes over your yard, your neighbor’s yard. Most bamboo spreads via runners (rhizomes) that can grow 20+ feet underground per year. Even “clumping” varieties aren’t fully safe. Your cute bamboo patch today = a bamboo forest tomorrow.
