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.

Here are some of the meats with the highest cholesterol content.

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.

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.

Popcorn is often thought of as a relatively healthy snack, especially when air-popped and lightly seasoned. However, many store-bought popcorn brands are loaded with unhealthy fats, artificial ingredients, and excessive sodium.

Here are some of the worst popcorn brands for your health that you may want to avoid.

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'm 30 years old, and I still sleep with a stuffed animal every night. It's not just any stuffed animal, though. It's a teddy bear that I've had since I was a little kid. His name is just Teddy, and he's been through everything with me.

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.

My friend is a Capricorn, and if you’ve ever dated one, you know they don’t play around. At first, they act like love isn’t a priority—they’re rational, independent, always “too busy.” But the second they actually like you? It’s a whole different story. Suddenly, they want to be around you all the time, but won’t say they need you. They act chill but get jealous in 0.2 seconds. They hate mind games but somehow turn every relationship into a silent test of patience.

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.

After much deliberation, I made the heartbreaking decision to give up my cat. We had been together for seven or eight years—since she was just a tiny kitten fitting in my palm, growing into a ten-pound companion. Over the years, I poured thousands into her care, but life doesn’t always go the way we plan.

I've always considered Anna my best friend. We've been through so much together over the years, from celebrating each other's achievements to getting through tough break - ups.

When Tension Took Control… During a Pap Smear … 🤣. I went in for a routine pap smear, nervous as hell. The room was cold, the speculum felt like a foreign object, and my mind was racing with worst-case scenarios. Then, mid-exam, I felt this sudden urge to fart—nothing I could control. My face turned tomato red, the tech froze mid-procedure, and I heard her whisper to the nurse, “Did she eat beans for breakfast?”

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a young dog named Coco who is searching for her forever family. This adorable 3-month-old puppy may be small in size, weighing in at approximately 4.5 pounds, but she makes up for it with her endless energy and loving personality.

My little toy poodle, Charlie, doesn’t understand why his playmate hasn’t shown up again. A few days ago, he met another tiny poodle at the park, and they played together like they had known each other forever—chasing each other, rolling in the grass, and sharing their water bowl like best friends.

A 3–14–25 eclipse reading. If you are still here, following me and reading my stuff, I would like to say thank you. Peace be with you. ❤. In today’s reading, I decided to do a “what is going on” communal reading with a focus on America at the national level, while attempting to account for my own liberal bias.

I started my flock 3 years ago thinking it’d be wholesome and cheap. Spoiler: It’s ​neither. Here’s my reality check:. 1️⃣ ​500+startercosts: Coopmaterials(300—lumber ain’t cheap!), heat lamps (60),chickfeed(20/bag).

A few months ago, I made the mistake of venting to my sister about an argument I had with my partner. It wasn’t even a big deal—just one of those petty fights that happen when you’re both tired and stressed. The next day, we made up and moved on. But my sister? She did not move on.

Avoid condos, townhouses, or any property with an HOA—unless you enjoy micromanagement. Our HOA fined us 275 for leaving our trash 、can out overnight and 450 for planting a "non-approved" shrub. They dictated everything: grass height, mailbox color, even our Christmas lights’ timing.

Representatives from the Denver Zoo attended the Land Use, Transportation, and Infrastructure Committee of the Denver City Council on Tuesday. They made a pitch for eliminating lower admission fees in the winter after this season. The committee agreed to the change. The fee structure still must be approved by the full council.

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.😮‍💨

Showed up to my date, and this man was in a full suit… but it looked like he had been cuddling a cat army before arriving. Lint. Everywhere. I ignored it and took him to my favorite coffee spot. Dude wouldn’t even go inside. Fine. I ordered my latte, literally handed over my money, and he swoops in like, “Oh, I got this.” Sir, the barista already has my card. THEN he buys himself an ice cream. Just for him. Cool. Says he wants to “walk and talk.” We walk for 45 seconds before he dramatically sits on a park bench like we just finished a marathon. Two hours? No way. I bailed in one. What's the weirdest date move y’all have ever seen?
