Lazarus was an "owned" pup before being abandoned in a house. He, along with his sister, were left alone with no food and water for over 2 weeks.

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.

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 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.

U.S Senator Rand Paul this week introduced the Nutritious SNAP Act of 2025 to restore personal responsibility and state flexibility to the federal food assistance program. The purpose of the bill is to confront an uncomfortable truth: while the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) was created to fight hunger, it is now fueling a new public health crisis — obesity and chronic disease — by subsidizing the purchase of junk food with taxpayer dollars.

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?

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.

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.

(MA) Get ready to meet two big boys who are just as gentle as they are giant. Buster and Buddy Bronco are 10-month-old Great Pyrenees brothers who were found together living as strays in the wild when they were even younger than they are now. Great Dog Rescue New England was able to find a foster family to take in both pups, and they have been thriving there since while awaiting the next step in their journey. While these good boys are not listed as being a bonded pair, I am sure they would both appreciate it if you could find it in your heart to adopt and keep them together.

Here’s the thing—healthy family dynamics can be super subtle, but they matter so much. It’s not just about the big gestures; it’s the little things that count. Do they celebrate your wins? Or do they brush them off and make you feel small?

Just learned something beautiful that made my heart so full! Instead of tossing my gently used/expired makeup, I found out funeral homes can use them to help families give their loved ones a final perfect look.

Illegal drugs and substances are strictly prohibited by the cruise line.

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.

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).
