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.

I recently dove into some updates about the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program, and let me tell you, there’s a lot going on. First of all, don’t worry – Section 8 isn’t affected by any temporary federal funding freezes, so if you're relying on this program, you're still covered. The Trump administration never had a valid reason to cancel it, and it’s still going strong.

Red Lobster is famous for its seafood selections and those addictive Cheddar Bay Biscuits. While seafood can be a healthy choice, some of the dishes on Red Lobster's menu are overloaded with calories, sodium, and saturated fat. If you're watching your health, it's important to know which options to avoid. Below are some of the most unhealthy menu items you’ll find at Red Lobster.

So, I’ve always had this rule about age gaps in relationships—nothing more than a 5-year difference. I just thought it’d be too hard to make it work if we’re too far apart in age, but then I met this guy. He’s 10 years older than me, and I’m 24. We’ve been spending time together, and honestly, he’s so mature and considerate. We get along really well and have so much in common, especially since we both work in publishing.

As Northern Kentuckians are reporting more and more sightings of coyotes in their neighborhoods, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources says that coyotes are now seen in every county of the state — and that increased sightings are normal in winter and spring.

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 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!

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.

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.

After much deliberation, I made the heartbreaking decision to give up my cat. We had been together for seven or eight years—since she was just a tiny kitten fitting in my palm, growing into a ten-pound companion. Over the years, I poured thousands into her care, but life doesn’t always go the way we plan.

Okay, let’s get real—expiration dates are more of a suggestion than a hard rule, and we’ve all been there: staring at an item in the fridge thinking, “Is it still good?”

My dad (60) has struggled with severe anxiety and paranoia for years. He refuses medication, calling it “mind control,” and my mom (58), his primary caregiver, is emotionally exhausted and considering separation. I live across the state, work full-time, and fear becoming his sole support. He can’t manage bills, groceries, or basic self-care alone.

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 Trump administration has indicated it may target the food stamp program, also known as SNAP, for deep budget cuts. It also may strengthen the work requirement for SNAP. Many SNAP recipients are already required to work, especially those who are able bodied and under the age of 54. “If you are age 16 to 54 and able to work, you will probably need to meet the general work requirements to get SNAP benefits,” according to the SNAP website. “The general work requirements include registering for work, participating in SNAP Employment and Training or workfare if assigned by your state SNAP agency, taking a suitable job if offered, and not voluntarily quitting a job or reducing your work hours below 30 a week without a good reason.”

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a young dog named Coco who is searching for her forever family. This adorable 3-month-old puppy may be small in size, weighing in at approximately 4.5 pounds, but she makes up for it with her endless energy and loving personality. Despite her tiny stature, even smaller than the resident cats in her foster home, Coco approaches life with curiosity and enthusiasm. "She has bounds of energy, loves playing with all types of toys, and then ultimately adores snuggling up on her foster mom's lap to get lots of pets," explains Sandy Paws Rescue.

I need perspective on navigating gift-giving with my boyfriend’s (30M) family. Over the past year, I’ve given his mom, sister, and sister’s kid gifts for birthdays, holidays, and “just because” occasions (≈10 times total, spending around $800). While I don’t expect exact reciprocity, I’ve noticed they’ve never given me so much as a card in return—not even on my birthday.

My little toy poodle, Charlie, doesn’t understand why his playmate hasn’t shown up again. A few days ago, he met another tiny poodle at the park, and they played together like they had known each other forever—chasing each other, rolling in the grass, and sharing their water bowl like best friends.

Yo, if you (or your kids) have federal student loans, stop scrolling and save your payment history ASAP. Why? Changes are coming—IDR plans/forgiveness could get axed, loans might shift to private servicers, and your records could vanish. You’ll need proof of what you’ve paid/owe.

A $300 tuition fee popped up a month ago, but she delayed paying it, opting to spend on non-essentials. Now, she urgently needs me to cover it to enroll in summer classes. I suggested a subsidized loan (interest-free, quick disbursement), but she insists I pay today.

Avoid condos, townhouses, or any property with an HOA—unless you enjoy micromanagement. Our HOA fined us 275 for leaving our trash 、can out overnight and 450 for planting a "non-approved" shrub. They dictated everything: grass height, mailbox color, even our Christmas lights’ timing.

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?”
