☆ I was struggling to figure out what I wanted in life. Going on my first cruise helped.

Carroll had little interest in cruises, but a writing retreat aboard the Queen Mary 2 intrigued her. The solo travel part wasn't out of character — I'd spent most of my 20s backpacking alone. It was this writing retreat — with its promise of expert instruction plus time to focus — that enticed me to get on board a ship. I was hoping that a writing retreat would reignite that spark. Laura Gio CarrollAs it turned out, the writing cruise went swimmingly (despite my never once going swimming while aboard).

My husband and I spend money in different ways, but we worked to set our financial goals together. We have our retirement and investments with our favorite financial services company, where we occasionally get advice from our financial advisor. Most of our expenses are debited from this pool of money, set up on auto-pay, of course. We have each other's phone codes, email passwords, and the like, so it was only natural that we both have access to all our money accounts, too. We both have access to all accounts, all credit cards, retirement accounts, and 529 plans, passwords, and all.

During his travels, the professional cyclist has braved brutal headwinds, extreme temperatures, dangerous traffic and even dusted himself off after a run-in with a kangaroo. That’s all while cycling up to 17 or 18 hours a day, stopping only to sleep, eat and mentally reset before doing it all again. “Rainy days, big, long headwind days – I think mentally they’re probably the most challenging,” says Morton. Reminding yourself that you’re just on a bike ride becomes very important.”This, however, is far from any normal bike ride. Morton has had to negotiate large trucks on his cycle around Australia.

Two racing teams, one owned by basketball legend Michael Jordan, filed a federal lawsuit on Wednesday, accusing NASCAR operators of being "monopolistic bullies" who line the pockets of the circuit's founding family.

The videos are part of a seven-figure paid media strategy aimed at critical swing voters and a larger effort by the Harris campaign to court Republicans and former Trump supporters. The campaign has also hired strategists to focus specifically on conservative voters, held events to engage Republican voters in battleground states, launched Republicans for Harris to help organize grassroots programs, and rolled out endorsements from prominent Republicans. McCaffery, who lives in Pennsylvania, embodies the type of voter the Harris campaign hopes will back her as polls show the race remains close. This week, the Harris campaign will also be holding Republican voter outreach events in the battleground states across the country. That comes after the campaign launched Republicans for Harris in August and after dozens of notable Republicans, including Cheney and her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, endorsed Harris.

I spent some time alone after things ended, but by the end of 2012, I was ready to re-embrace online dating. Within a few years, my fellow millennials and I were reportedly spending 10 hours a week on dating apps. "Dating apps are designed to be a miserable experience," Stephanie Rodgers, the founder of the forthcoming dating app Verb, said. Increasingly, it feels like dating apps make things more monotonous and cumbersome to incentivize us to pay for upgrades. And while dating apps' cost in terms of harassment, threats, and violence is paid disproportionately by women, its financial cost is disproportionately paid by men.

But most of the Haitian migrants there are there legally, and local officials have strongly disputed Trump and Vance's portrayal of the city.

Picketing workers gathered at ports in New York and Miami carrying signs reading "Machines don't feed families" and "Fight automation, Save jobs."
