However, when it came to deciding who to invite to this spring soiree, the mood got heavy in a hurry. I wondered if my son was becoming a mean kidMy plan was to invite the whole class just like we did the previous year, but when I mentioned this to my son, he was not on board. AdvertisementI asked him how he felt when he wasn't invited to an event and reminded him how important it is to always be kind. The kids in question didn't even end up attending the party, but that really wasn't the point. Next year, he still might not want to invite the whole class for his birthday so perhaps we pivot and also have an end of the year class party with everyone, an idea Edlynn suggested.

I lost my hair. Then I found myself.

For more than a year, I had been dealing with my progressive hair loss and clamoring for some sort of control. I launched into the story of my hair loss journey, attempting to convey the stress and uncertainty that had defined the past year. I purchased a long brown human hair wig that initially looked natural in the shop lighting. I learned I had a lot to learn; there was a whole "wearing hair" subculture with special lingo that I knew nothing about. I accepted that I have hair loss and I'm aging, and one day, I'll look in the mirror, and it won't be just my hair that's changed.

The use of weed to replace alcohol is a growing trend in the United States. “We know that moderate alcohol consumption has health risks, and risk increases as alcohol consumption increases,” Boyd said in an email. “Cannabis smoke contains toxins, carcinogens, and particulate matter that have been linked to cancer, lung damage, and cardiovascular disease,” Cohen said in an email. Research on edibles, such as baked goods, candies and beverages, and other methods of using cannabis is in its infancy. “In and of itself, it’s not good that more people are using cannabis,” Grinspoon said.

CNN —Toward the end of its 35th season, “The Simpsons” made a move that rankled some fans: It killed a longtime resident of Springfield. I would say under 10,” said Matt Selman, sardonic showrunner of “The Simpsons,” in an interview with CNN. There are around 16 writers per season, typically made up of 22 episodes, though this season has just 18 due to the 2023 writers’ and actors’ strikes. Last month, Sosthand won a Writers Guild Award for the episode, beating out three other nominees from the “Simpsons” writers room. It’s nice that their hard work has been noticed, Selman said, but critical appraisal of “The Simpsons” is always in flux.

Swap out matching throw pillows for fresh patterns and designs. Give your living room a fun feel with new throw pillows.

But when I first saw the ad for the Ready Rocker, the way it worked made sense to me — it's a device that changes how you sit, correcting your posture in the moment. The Ready Rocker allows the user to work from a couch or bed without sacrificing good posture. Whether it's the Ready Rocker, yoga, or a combination of the two, I'm going to continue my new routine for now.

In the early hours of Jan. 29, 2022, as a snowstorm raged, a 46-year-old Boston police officer, John O’Keefe, was discovered unresponsive outside the home of a fellow officer in Canton, Mass. Officer O’Keefe had severe head injuries and hypothermia and was pronounced dead that morning. Ms. Read was arrested three days later, and the case has transfixed Boston ever since. Ms. Read, 44, is now on trial in a Massachusetts courtroom, accused of killing Officer O’Keefe by backing into him with her sport utility vehicle after an argument and then leaving the scene. Her lawyers, along with a vocal and devoted squad of defenders, say she is innocent, alleging a sweeping conspiracy and cover-up by law enforcement officials to hide the truth about the murder.

Andreas Von Einsiedel | Corbis Documentary | Getty ImagesThere are two common mistakes people make when hanging art in their homes, according to art consultant Louisa Warfield. People sometimes make the mistake of hanging artwork too high, according to art consultant Louisa Warfield. Louisa Warfield Art ConsultancyA guideline is to hang the work so that its center is about 150cm above the floor, Warfield said. Louisa Warfield Art ConsultancyIn a large home, a gallery wall might be about 160cm in height and about the width of the couch the art will hang above, Warfield said. Art collector Helen Sunderland Cohen said she aims for a "harmonious and balanced" environment when it comes to playing art.
