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.

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.

I treated myself to a gel manicure at that new salon downtown (you know the one with the pink storefront) and I'm beyond frustrated with the results. The technician rushed through the entire service, filed my nails way too thin, and used excessive force removing my cuticles which left them bleeding!

Last night, I came home to play with my cats using a laser pointer. Both were energetic, running around joyfully. But after just over a minute, my smaller cat collapsed. I thought she was tired, but then her legs straightened, she let out a scream, and started peeing uncontrollably. I realized it was a heart attack. Rushing her to the vet, they said it was too late. I had to arrange a pet cremation to send her to "cat heaven."

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. Speaking through an interpreter, Henry Alvarez said in Spanish that he arrived in Denver Jan. 4 with his wife of 22 years and three children. He said they had been staying in a cold weather hotel shelter, but that has ended now that temperatures have risen.

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.

Confession: I used to blow my budget and diet in the snack aisle. Then my friend said, “Shop backward!” Start at the back (dairy/meats) → end in produce. Why?. ​Willpower armor: Grabbed pricier meats first (budget intact) → filled the cart with veggies last.

I’m in a tough spot. My partner was somehow signed up for Medicaid without us applying for it. Now his psychiatrist just called to say that they can’t give him his medication because they can’t work with Medicaid clients, even if we pay out of pocket. Apparently, he could even be fined for prescribing to him. My partner really needs his meds, and this has become urgent.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a handsome, friendly dog named Guero who is searching for his forever family. At nearly three years old and weighing 63 pounds, this affectionate canine is currently in foster care, where he lives harmoniously with six other medium to large dogs. Described by his foster mom as "a lap dog but huge," Guero spends most of his indoor time as a dedicated couch cuddler. His friendly disposition extends to both humans and other dogs, though his enthusiasm during initial meetings sometimes requires gentle guidance to maintain appropriate boundaries.

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.

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.
