Intense Blast of Heat Coming to New England Later This Week

Highs will likely end up cooler than Wednesday given this onshore setup.

The pitfalls of spring temperatures will be apparent over these next two days. It may be early in the season (and we’re still over a week away from the official start to spring), but Wednesday and Thursday will serve as a preview for the next couple of months. On Wednesday, a cold front will bring a quick end to this above-average warmth. Temperatures will drop, but only back to around seasonal averages for most. The coolest relative to averages will be across the northern tier.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.😮‍💨

Dogs are affectionate, loyal, and actually acknowledge your existence—so why is everyone I know getting a cat instead? I get it, cats are low-maintenance, don’t need walks, and have that whole mysterious, independent vibe.
