As California real estate consultant John Graff notes, real estate reality shows tend to gloss over glamorous details of closing on a house, many of which shock buyers in real life. “You really do encounter some first-time buyers with a warped sense of the money and time needed to go from seeing a house you like online to becoming the owner of that house,” Graff says. Now, exhaustively detailing all the costs of buying a home wouldn’t make for great TV....

Now about that interior. Here’s a little thing: The Telluride’s higher glass-to-metal ratio creates excellent sightlines. They give you a truck-like troop-transport ride that makes it easier to park and maneuver, change lanes, and avoid hazards. If you’re going to live with a three-row rig, it should be easy, even joyful to own. Kia gets that. The joy of the Telluride also comes down to ergonomics. The front seats not only get eight-way power adjustments, heating, and cooling, but they’re also coated in a very high-grade cleanable faux leather that shocked us at first because, no, this Telluride doesn’t start at $50,000....

A type of Pacific jellyfish, they have long, almost silky arms and tentacles up to 24 feet in length....

Start By Looking InwardYoung kids model their behavior after the behavior of their parents. If you want a daughter who reads, she needs to see you reading for pleasure. Ditto if you want your son to pick up after himself. So first, consider your current relationship with the outdoors. When was the last time you went outside for pleasure — something other than a workout, yard work, or walking the dog?...

An emotionally abusive relationship often involves subtle but pernicious forms of mental abuse, including gaslighting, control, manipulation, and invalidation — intentional or otherwise. These tactics are often disguised as concern or a professed desire to be together. But when persistent, they amount to emotional abuse and are silent killers of marriages. The source of emotional abuse or mental abuse tends to be, as with so many relational behaviors, rooted in a person’s past....

One reason buyers often wind up disappointed or regretful is because in the current tight, competitive housing market, many families feel pressured to make compromises, cross their fingers, and hope for the best. Buyers have to put offers in quickly rather than carefully consider all the things outside the home that will affect how happy they’ll be with the purchase. “When buying a home, it’s easy to focus almost exclusively on bids, mortgages, and inspection reports and not consider [what it will be like] living in that environment,” says Katherine Loflin, Ph....

Put It In Writing It’s easy to get carried away with spending when you’re in the holiday mindset, which is why getting organized is imperative. For my masters of cash flow, creating a budget (in this case a budget of budgets) should be easy. However, for those of you who are still struggling with spending, I urge you to, just the one time, put something together. Those who write things down end up in better shape than those who don’t....

In fact, the most popular names of the decade are far less popular than those in decades’ past. Whereas classic names like Michael and Mary took up three or four percent of names in prior decades, this decade’s top names account for less than one percent of the total. Names are more diversified, more singular. Vintage names saw a comeback. So did Greek Gods and goddesses. Recently, the New York Times looked back at the most popular baby names of the decade....

1. I stopped pretending I had a schedule. A militantly organized sort by nature, I like to have my days guided/obsessively controlled by spreadsheets, to-do lists, and a bunch of other bullshit that got promptly chucked into the Diaper Genie burrito-stuffed waste bin. The first year is the very definition of living in the moment, rolling with endless changes, adapting to bottomless needs, and subjugating things I previously believed to be of importance....

“You do realize there have been 10,000 miles between us for half of your lifetime now?” My dad was beginning his closing statement. “Yet, we’ve managed to share our… learning.” He paused. “You don’t think that will stop when I’m gone?” I didn’t want to imagine the answer. “No. Now go, go have a happy birthday, Deepasie!” I talked to my dad less than 24 hours after his birthday call....

Once they pick up a sound, these “dark angels,” as some newspaper clippings have dubbed them, quickly sprint towards, slash at, and feast upon the thing that made the sound with terrifying ferocity. Krasinski and his actual wife Emily Blunt play married couple Lee and Evelyn Abbott who, with their kids Regan, Marcus, and Beau, live on a farm in upstate New York....

Biden Isn’t Going to Reach His Goal When Biden originally declared his July 4 goal, it seemed like an attainable timeline, as 3 million doses were being administered per day. But now, it’s become clear that is not going to happen, as vaccine rates have slowed down significantly in June. According to the CDC, 65 percent of Americans over the age of 18 have received at least one dose but it’s going to take longer than originally anticipated to get to 70 percent....

Our daughter, an only child who gets lonely on the weekends, plays with the Army buddies, as my wife and I call them. So they’re in our life and, occasionally, our apartment. The kids are sweet and polite, but always seem a bit uptight. And I can’t help think that how they’re being raised will not adequately prepare them for the choices presented by post-war life. My wife used to worry about the effects of cursing in front of our daughter, watching Rick and Morty with her, and letting her sometimes stay up and watch her iPad as late as she wants....
