English singer Lily Allen said she adopted a puppy during the Covid-19 pandemic, but returned it after it ate her family's passports. Jones cautioned that getting a dog with her husband, "Stranger Things" star David Harbour, is "a hell of a commitment." Allen said the pup ate her passport as well as those of her two daughters, Ethel, 12, and Marnie, 11, who she shares with her ex-husband Sam Cooper. Allen said "passports weren’t the only thing she ate." Allen and Harbour first sparked romance rumors in 2019 and they married in a Las Vegas wedding in September 2020, according to People Magazine.

Ella Emhoff's DNC look was customEmhoff, an artist, designer, and the internet's beloved "First Daughter of Bushwick," wore a tea-length gown for her DNC appearance. Ando said the dress took over 75 hours to make and that Emhoff crocheted the flower that sat on one sleeve herself. Outside the DNC, Emhoff's presence in the fashion community has been growing in recent years. Emhoff's father, Doug Emhoff, married Harris in 2014, so Harris has been in her life since she was a teen. With her one-of-a-kind look for the convention, Emhoff is likely to sport more fashion-forward looks throughout Harris' campaign.

From when I was a schoolgirl through college until today, my mother has always offered to buy me clothes, shoes, and more. I'm quite sure this is partly because she would like me to dress better and partly because I'm her daughter, and she loves me. I also have a myriad of memories of my father bringing me documents to sign when I was quite young. At no point in my life have I saved up to buy jewelry, and I can count the times when I have saved up money to buy anything. I'm 40 now, and as I stare at my daughter smiling, I spot the tiny diamond earrings sparkling in her ears and smile, too.

Dozens of boats zipped across Casco Bay during the Maine Lobster Boat Races on Saturday. That boat, a 32-footer with a powerful diesel engine, belonged to Jeremy Beal, 45, a large, soft-spoken man who comes from a long line of boat builders and lobstermen. “See, I grew up right in it,” he said between drags of a cigarette while leaning against the rail of his boat on the evening before the big race. For decades, Mr. Beal’s father, Wayne Beal, and an uncle, Calvin Beal, have built boats used by commercial fishers up and down the Maine coast. After years spent learning the family trade, Jeremy took over his dad’s business, Wayne Beal’s Boat Shop, in Jonesport, a seaside town more than 200 miles northeast of Portland.

The sight at the Democratic convention on Wednesday night of Tim Walz’s 17-year-old son leaping to his feet, with streaming eyes, a hand to his chest with a cry of “That’s my Dad” was heart piercing. Gus Walz has, according to his parents, a nonverbal learning disorder, A.D.H.D. One of the joys of my life in the social churn of New York is living with a son whose inability to read the room makes him incapable of telling anything but the truth. Once, as my husband, Harry Evans, and I left a pretentious social gathering in the Hamptons, Georgie told the host sunnily: “Thank you very much.

When I was a high school educator, I got a surprising phone call from a parent one morning. I was speechless — I'd never heard someone ask to volunteer at the high school level before. AdvertisementBut I don't see many parents in school hallways in middle and high school. Family involvement dwindles every year after 5th grade, and by high school, I only see parents discussing serious stuff like grades and college admissions. Some parents who usher at plays or poetry readings enjoy it so much, they say they want to go back to high school again.

When 36-year-old Nelson Cheney was little, he began eating spicy peppers and sauces to impress his dad. Cheney, known by his social media handle “@craving_capsaicin” — a nod to the chemical compound that gives chili peppers their heat — got hooked on the adrenaline rush he feels when he eats extremely spicy foods. Both sour and spicy foods generate painful responses, though they activate different nerves in the body. “I’ve got so many people that went from not even eating hot stuff to having a tolerance and now eating spicy food daily.
