The PXG Black Ops Ultra Lite: The sexy option for slow swingers

A cruise vacation didn't go exactly as planned for Jason and Tammy Merritt when their luggage never showed up at their cabin on Carnival Magic. According to news reports, the incident resulted in a lifetime ban for another passenger and a complex legal situation.

Shirley Jones' dazzling smile, blond locks, and melodic voice made her a movie star with big-screen musicals like Oklahoma (1955), Carousel (1956), and April Love (1957). In 1960, she played against type and won an Oscar for her portrayal of the cynical prostitute Lulu Baines in Elmer Gantry. Two years later, she returned to more uplifting roles in movies like The Music Man and The Courtship of Eddie’s Father (which later became a TV series). Into that mix, she made various small screen appearances on weekly shows like The Danny Thomas Hour, in TV-movies like Out of the Blue, released in 1968, and then finally her starring role as Shirley Partridge on The Partridge Family (ABC, 1970-1974). However, Jones, who is now 91, almost played Mrs. Carol Brady on another ABC TV family show: The Brady Bunch (ABC, 1969-1974).

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.

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?

Starting your day with the right foods can set the tone for your energy levels, metabolism, and overall health. A healthy breakfast should include a balance of protein, healthy fats, fiber, and essential nutrients to keep you full and energized throughout the morning. Below are some of the best foods to eat first thing in the morning.

I thought buying a home was the ultimate goal, the smart investment. But now? I feel completely stuck. I got approved for $400K, put down $100K, and still ended up with a nearly $3,000 monthly payment. At first, I told myself it was worth it—but the reality hit hard.

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.

So here’s the deal: I’m in a marriage where the love seems gone, but we’re still sticking it out—for the kids, family, and all those other reasons you can’t just walk away. But honestly, it's hard to face a “failed” marriage every day. Here's what’s worked for me:

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!

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.

If you rely on Section 8 or invest in rental properties, you’ll notice this. They’ve changed the way they calculate voucher amounts, and it could seriously impact renters and landlords.

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.

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? That’s not a "principle" issue – that’s math.

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.

Recent US data reveals a concerning trend: the gap between housing prices and income continues to widen at an alarming rate. In 2023, the median home price hit $350K, while the median household income stands at just $78K. This disparity is eerily reminiscent of the conditions that preceded the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis.

For many, headaches are an all-too-familiar part of daily life. Whether it’s the dull throb of tension or the sharp pulse of a migraine, reaching for medication can feel like the only option. But what if relief could come from your plate instead of a pill bottle?

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.

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.

When I first sent my daughter to a U.S. preschool, I was shocked—no writing lessons?! But her teacher explained: “Writing is a skill, but expressing ideas is the superpower.”

Kyle’s growing feelings for Claire are undeniable, but The Young and the Restless spoilers suggest that if he rushes into an engagement, it could create more chaos than happiness.

I've been crunching the numbers, and honestly, unless it’s a single-family home, I don’t see how buying makes financial sense in the Bay Area. Condos and townhomes come with insane HOA fees—some as high as $2,000 a month. That alone is more than a mortgage in most places. Add skyrocketing insurance costs, rising property taxes, and 7%+ interest rates, and you’re paying a fortune before even touching the principal.

My best friend is pregnant, and she recently told me the name they have picked out for their baby. As soon as she said it("Hellzel"), I was taken aback. To me, the name sounded really strange and not at all something I would associate with a cute, innocent baby.

DIY gardeners, listen up! Here’s a crucial tip that could save you MAJOR headaches…. Ever been digging in your yard and suddenly hit sand? STOP RIGHT THERE!. I learned this the hard way - that random patch of sand isn’t natural. It’s actually a warning sign that important cables are buried underneath!

If I could erase one thing from my past? I’d forget every time I prioritized other people’s approval over my own happiness. My family’s gotta this toxic ‘men fix everything’ mindset—even my sister swings between obsessive love and hatred in her relationships. It’s like they’re stuck in a black-and-white cartoon.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a dedicated foster-based dog rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a loving gentle giant named Demi, a Cane Corso who has captured hearts with her affectionate personality. At just under three years old and weighing 84 pounds, Demi has a perfect blend of majesty and playfulness that her breed is known for. Described as a loving companion who has never met a stranger, she particularly enjoys car rides, demonstrating her agility by easily hopping in and out of vehicles. Her social nature extends to other dogs of all sizes, and she's shown a peaceful coexistence with cats, completely ignoring them.

I recently adopted a 2-month-old kitten, but I might’ve rushed things a bit. I didn’t give her time to adjust before I started picking her up and petting her constantly. Now she’s hiding in the corner and hissing at me whenever I try to get close. She’s also been super vocal at night, and the worst part—she pooped on my bed when I wasn’t home. Is she mad at me? What am I doing wrong? I feel like I might’ve messed up with the whole “getting her used to me” process.

My Ex-Total Jerk Sent Me This Surprising Apology Email... Okay, hear me out. My ex was a walking disaster during our marriage—never said "I'm sorry" even when he spilled red wine on my wedding dress. Fast-forward 15 years: out of the blue, he sends me an email apologizing for specific things he did (no vague "I'm sorry you feel that way" bullshit). He didn't ask for anything—just wanted to close the chapter nicely.

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.

I have written before about the residents who bang on the walls at Fusion Studios, the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless property where I live. It often goes on day and night.

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?”
