PORTSMOUTH, VA - In the mid-1990s, Portsmouth, Virginia, was shaken by two tragic discoveries when workers at a trash plant facility discovered the remains of two infant girls whose identities remain unknown. Their lifeless bodies were found in the trash at a local waste management facility. The community named these infants "Baby Angel Valentine" and "Baby June." Their cases have haunted the city for decades, symbolizing lives lost before they could even begin.

CALIFORNIA – The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on March 11 it is offering a $20,000 reward for tips leading to a penalty or conviction in the case of a decapitated California sea lion.

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.

Starting April 1, 2025, new California laws will significantly enhance protections for renters statewide. All of them aimed at increasing fairness and transparency in landlord-tenant interactions.

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.

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!

While Natalia quarrels with Sidwell, fans can anticipate Carly questioning Lucas, Sasha, and Jason. Maxie pushed Lucas in the most recent General Hospital episode, while Brennan and Carly were in agreement.

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.

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.

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.

Members of Housekeys Action Network Denver, a homeless advocacy group known as HAND, gave impassioned pleas to the City Council Tuesday to stop funding contracts for The Salvation Army.

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.

Hey everyone, let’s talk about this: If someone is riding your bumper, do you speed up or play it cool? Here’s my recent experience. I merged onto a winding road heading home (no-passing zones, obviously), and the car behind me was basically glued to my rearview. I gradually increased my speed from 55 to 65 mph over the first 5 miles, but they stayed dangerously close. When we hit the long, straight stretch? I pressed the gas pedal to the floor. Lost ’em temporarily, but then they started gaining speed again—only to pull into my neighbor’s driveway like nothing happened.

Am I the only one who finds it weird that restaurants are so strict about adults ordering from the kids menu?. I had an experience at a steakhouse when I was 16. I don’t like steak, so I tried ordering a hotdog and fries from the kids menu, but the waiter told me I couldn’t. I ended up sitting there eating just fries for an hour.

Days of our Lives fans are buzzing about whether EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) is leaving the hit Peacock soap after the character was shot. The story about who shot EJ kicked off today, but it’s been in the works for weeks.

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.

I’m (30s F) struggling with a situation involving my husband (30s M) and his best friend’s wife, “Anna” (30s F). Recently, I accidentally saw a text from Anna on his phone where she was venting about her marriage issues. Turns out, she’s been regularly calling and texting him about this for weeks, and he never mentioned it to me. When I asked him about it, he got defensive, insisted he was “just being a good friend,” and we ended up in a huge fight.

A few years ago, my dad, 68, started sleeping 12+ hours daily. We joked about him “catching up on rest,” but his forgetfulness worsened. His doctor mentioned studies linking excessive sleep in older adults to higher dementia risks. While not a direct cause, it’s a potential red flag for brain changes.

They’re not being elitist—they’re streamlining care for medical families!. When a patient’s family member is a nurse or doc, we add notes like "Daughter RN" to switch to medical speak. This saves hours during consultations!

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.”

According to the Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts, there's a charming new resident who's capturing hearts with his unique physique and personality while waiting for his forever family to find him. Chunk, as he's appropriately named, weighs quite a bit despite his short stature. "If it isn't obvious, Chunk got his name from his amazing physic. This low rider has tiny legs but weighs in at 60 lbs, an absolute tank of a dog," explains the nonprofit shelter. "Chunk is some sort of bully breed mix. English? Maybe. Whatever he is, man is he cute! His smoothy face and constant snorting adds to his charm."

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 random realtor showed our property and decided to cut our lock—yes, literally cut it off—and then added their own without asking. The gate is just for vehicles, so it’s not like they were locked out completely. But instead of calling for access, they just… took matters into their own hands.

My partner and I love trying new upscale restaurants, especially those with tasting menus. Last night, we went to one of those highly-rated spots with only a few tables. A family of five came in with three young kids, and one of them was having a tantrum while the others watched cartoons—no headphones, just loud noise for everyone to hear. We had to ask the server to have them turn it down. They also didn’t care about the dress code and made custom changes to their order. It felt totally out of place. I get that it’s tough with kids, but should this kind of noise be okay in an upscale setting? Curious what you all think... #restaurantvibes #familydining.

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 swear, zinnias are the easiest flowers ever. I’ve got them baking under the brutal LA sun for 8 hours a day, barely water them, and they just keep blooming like nothing happened. No shade, no stress, just endless flowers—perfect for someone like me who forgets to baby their plants.

As a kid, I’d watch Grandma scowl at family gatherings and wonder, “Why are old people so grumpy?” Now, caring for a 95-year-old man in hospice, I finally get it. His frustration isn’t about age itself – it’s about losing autonomy, friends, and purpose. When you’re stuck in a hospital bed or isolated, loneliness rots your spirit.
