Dr. Oz had to pay $5.25 million to settle a class action suit for promoting phony weight loss cures.

He is a conman. No wonder Trump likes him.

I'm 100% behind the Uber/Lyft drivers who are on strike today. Management for both services don't appreciate their most important asset - the drivers. They haven't received what they were promised. I do object to the drivers who accept rides, wait and then cancelling the ride. Not cool.

OK. So I'm not into begging but I need to ask. My SAINT of a mother died a little over a year ago and thanks to a major screwup from her life insurance carrier, I didn't have enough to give her the burial services. More details are here: www.gofundme.com/f/anh-graham...

I've never been comfortable asking for help this but It's been a very tough Christmas season for me. I try to be the nicest I can be and give what little I have to the less unfortunate. If you can help, please do so.

Most schools have teachers, principals, guidance counselors — professionals trained to recognize the unexplained bruises or erratic behaviors that may point to an abusive parent.

Home education was an easy way to avoid the scrutiny of such people.

@linernotes.bsky.social Rick, I'm a former lawyer looking to obtain a position in the media as a legal expert. I'm aiming local since I'm just starting out but maybe if I'm good enough and lucky someday, national. I have a crazy dream of being the first Asian-American TV judge. Any suggestions?

The show "Friends" spoke to Gen X in a way that wasn't demeaning; it was okay to be in your 20s & adjusting to life after college. Chandler was like many of us who left behind dreams to join corporate America for the cash. Chandler had a happy ending. Matthew Perry didn't thus our pain right now.
