Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

News anchor mom hilariously recaps her family ‘vacation’

Scary Mommy

I was at the beach with a group of moms. It’s a group in which we are casual friends, and I feel like a bit of an outsider. I marveled at everyone else’s ability to function like a little family, with each woman doting on the others’ kids — answering their questions, shaking out their towels, and tending to their newly scraped knees. They each brought their own beach bags, but snacks and supplies became communal as all the kids transitioned to the ocean and then back to the sand.

Nothing in this wide and wild world hits quite like a Girls’ Trip, does it? These getaways are a balm for the soul and a much-needed refresh from the stress and complications of daily life. But what do you do when a planned girls’ trip veers back into the realm of stress and complication? That’s what Redditor u/mahoganyrose wanted to know in a post on the ever-popular (and endlessly entertaining) “Am I The Assh*le” (AITA) subreddit asking “AITA for backing out of a trip with my friend because I didn’t want to be bothered with her kids?”

I’m a child behaviorist – the three things parents should always take on a flight to stop kids having tantrums

When you have kids, summers are a flurry of activities. Going to amusement parks and zoos, playing outside, eating ice cream—lots and lots of ice cream. And then, the preteen years hit and all that changes. Suddenly a kid’s interest shifts. They spend less time hanging with the fam and more hanging with friends, or alone. Though this transition is natural, it can still be painful for parents and make them feel like they’re not doing enough to evoke that same kind of magic the season once held. As Cyndy Gatewood’s three children have all entered teen and preteen chapters,...
