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 Now you’re asking 500k for the same avocado-green walls and outdated HVAC?

Ever wondered if your cat actually knows its name or just responds to the sound of your voice?

But recent studies suggest that cats do recognize their names—though whether they choose to respond is a different story.

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.

Why aren’t we housing the homeless in abandoned motels? It’s not rocket science—seal off broken windows, install security cameras, and rent them at 50/ month. But here’s the catch: The system profits from keeping people destitute. Politicians don’t want you to know that Housing First programs do work—they cut emergency room visits by 6010k/year for mental health meds.

A possible surge in overdose deaths in Denver could indicate some irregularities in the street drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned Monday. The Denver Post reported there have been a dozen outdoor deaths in March in Denver, including nine in a nine-day stretch. “Over the past month, there have been a lot of reported overdoses in Denver being responded to with naloxone by people who use drugs, services providers, and around the Colorado State Capitol,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville said in the needle exchange’s newsletter Monday. “Over the past couple of weeks, we started noticing the public death posts on social media and then multiple sources from the city reached out to let us know they were overdose related. We alerted HRAC participants and other service providers for quick communication. Unfortunately, many in the city have expressed that we will need to wait for weeks and months before they will officially determine these deaths as overdoses. That is incredibly frustrating as we need real time information of the drug supply and the names of those we have lost.”

I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner. Dating an older man is the most relaxing experience of my life.

I just sit there, sip my coffee, and let him handle everything else.

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.

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.

Folks, check out this epic fail from my landlord: Rent shot up by $275 in January, and their “repairs” are straight-up crayon-level disasters. Instead of fixing the rotting wooden columns, they just hammered tons of nails into the base like they’re building a Pinterest project. Then, to cover up the white paint nightmare on our lawn, they rinsed paint buckets directly on the grass and… ​

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.

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.
