I’ve gotten so used to low interest rates that I’m not sure what to expect when they start to rise. I have both investment and savings accounts plus a mortgage and a little bit of credit card debt. Can you explain why this is happening, and what, if anything, I should do about it? —A Reader Dear Reader, Thanks for this question that’s top of mind for so many people....
One contestant not named in the official list? Connor Brennan. Bachelor Nation guru and fortune-teller Reality Steve previously revealed that Bachelorette Season 17 and Bachelor in Paradise Season 7 contestant would return. Connor is best known for being the guy who introduced himself to The Bachelorette while donning a giant cat costume. In another twist, Connor himself then seemed to deny that rumor when he commented on Reality Steve’s March 25 spoiler post by writing, “News to me, bud....
You’ve probably encountered a pulse oximeter at some point, like at your doctor’s office, but it’s understandable that you might be fuzzy on the details of what, exactly, this little device is. A pulse oximeter is an electronic device that measures your heart rate and the amount of oxygen in your red blood cells, per the American Lung Association (ALA). To use it, you simply clamp the pulse oximeter onto your finger (kind of like a clothes pin) and wait to get your results....

The young boy’s adorable demeanor and polite reaction to the slice of tart citrus quickly went viral, garnering 6.7 million views since it was shared earlier this week. He stood next to the stove in the kitchen, a younger girl toddling up next to him, as his mother asked, “You want lemon?” He eyed the fruit in her hand curiously, smiling as she handed it over and thanking her before taking a tiny bite....
—Kayla R., Lima, Ohio I think you should focus on fit, for safe riding. Aside from the top tube, women’s and men’s bikes differ in ways that tend to suit each sex’s body type. Women usually have shorter torsos and longer legs than men of the same height, so their bikes are a bit shorter, and they adjust the seat higher. (And the seats themselves differ for comfort.) Their bikes also have shorter handlebar stems and narrower handlebars....

“We at HarperCollins also feel extremely lucky to have worked with Beverly Cleary and to have enjoyed her sparkling wit,” wrote her publisher in a statement. “Her timeless books are an affirmation of her everlasting connection to the pleasures, challenges, and triumphs that are part of every childhood.” Born in McMinnville, Oregon, Cleary grew up Yamhill, a small town that didn’t have a library. However, her mother was able to get the state library to send books to the community....
Carson Kressley has a very different tone when he sat down with me last night compared to almost a week prior. Back then, he was remorseful and a little crushed. Though he had enjoyed his time in the Celebrity Big Brother house, when he found out about Todrick Hall and Miesha Tate deceiving him to backdoor Shanna Moakler, he felt incredibly guilt about turning on a friend. But in the days since, he’s been able to reconnect with her and apologize on multiple accounts....
Around the middle of every month, it seems, I glance at the calendar on my office wall and realize I haven’t turned the page. Which might be a metaphor for my life. I’m change-averse, you might say. Maybe it’s because I’m a “woman of a certain age,” which is a polite way to say I’m old and set in my ways. And yes, I still have an AOL account, please stop calling me a dinosaur....
