Marriage & Family Life / What should you do if you're the married friend?

I am attracted to my husband’s married friend — I’m starting to fall in love with him

I am an unhappily married woman with young children. I am attracted to a friend of mine and my husband’s, but he is also married. He’s a bit older, and I can’t tell for sure if he has feelings for me, but sometimes I suspect it. He has made me jewelry and gifts, and I’ve caught him looking at me a few times.

We have exchanged messages on social media and he often asks me questions about myself — what I like, etc. He’s just so quiet that I can’t tell if it all means anything. I could never leave my husband and break up my family, and I could never break up someone else’s family. But I’m starting to wonder and sometimes think I really am falling in love with him. What should I do?

General Discussion / This lunatic may have punched 7 random women but doubt he'll be punished much

Man accused of punching seven random women in New York City is arrested
Police say the man punched women, sometimes in the face, on their heads, or on their backs.

A man accused of assaulting random women in New York City was arrested Tuesday, police said.

Daquan Armstead, 31, of East Bronx, was taken into custody on suspicion of hate-motivated assaults on seven women from late March to mid-April in Lower Manhattan, police said.

Authorities allege he punched women, sometimes in the face, on their heads, or on their backs.

When asked about the allegations while being taken out of the New York Police Department’s Hate Crimes Task Force office, Armstead responded, "They spit at me." Police refuted the suspect’s claim that victims had spit on him.

It wasn't clear Tuesday evening if he has retained legal counsel. New York County Defender Services, which provides defense attorneys for many criminal cases, noted that a public record of his arrest was unavailable.

Armstead was arrested on suspicion of hate crime/assault; suspicion of attempted hate crime; and suspicion of aggravated harassment, according to the NYPD's Office of the Deputy Commissioner for Public Information.

Police told NBC New York there have been 95 unprovoked assaults in Manhattan so far this year, with 50 of them involving victims who are women.

At least one arrest was made previously in connection with a series of attacks earlier this spring that gained attention after some of the women told their stories on TikTok.

The allegations involving Armstead do not appear to be any of the attacks seen on social media.

The department released a timeline of alleged attacks

I’m a Bank Teller: 3 Times You Should Never Ask For $100 Bills at the Bank

In short, most of our paper money is in hundreds — by a mile — but that doesn’t mean there’s never a bad time to walk into a bank branch and ask for one.

Whether you need a fresh, crisp C-note to put in a birthday card, a wedding envelope or just to stash in your emergency cash pile at home, you’ll want to pick your moment.

...“I would advise against requesting $100 bills at a bank branch during peak hours...
“It’s also best to avoid asking for $100 bills during times of cash shortages, such as after weekends or holidays...The Wrong Time Is Any Time You Don’t Call Ahead First. Call ahead and ask if they can fulfill your request before you head down to the branch.

For example when I asked for these C-note:

Texas Congressman Roasts Fellow Republicans on CNN: ‘I Serve With Some Real Scumbags’

Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales chose to fight fire with fire Sunday morning. During a conversation with CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union,” Gonzales railed against a number of his colleagues. “It’s my absolute honor to be in Congress,” he said, “but I serve with some real scumbags.”


“Look, Matt Gaetz, he paid minors to have sex with them at drug parties,” Gonzales asserted. “Bob Good endorsed my opponent, a known neo-Nazi — these people used to walk around with white hoods at night. Now they’re walking around with white hoods in the daytime.”

“Look, it didn’t surprise me that some of these folks voted against aid to Israel, but I was encouraged to see by a nearly 10 to 1 mark that Republicans supported our allies on the battlefield,” the military veteran concluded.

A shocked Bash replied, “Wow. OK. I should say that the federal government did look into Matt Gaetz and those allegations, and they decided not to prosecute.”

Bash asked Gonzales if he’s trying to put the members of Congress “in a box.”

“Members… members are tired,” he answered. “We’re exhausted. It has been a brutal Congress.”

“But we’re also dug in. For some reason, these fringe people think as if they have the high ground. They do not. I assure you, the rank and file members that normally are kind of easygoing, doing the right thing, put their head down — they vote yes or no, but they’re not public about it.”

“Those days are over,” Gonzales said. “The fight is here.”

Gaetz announced in 2021 that he was the subject of a Department of Justice investigation for sexual misconduct. He denied the allegations as the New York Times reported the DOJ had launched an investigation into allegations Gaetz had a sexual relationship with a then-17-year-old and paid for her to travel to several states, a potential violation of sex trafficking laws.

Two years later, the DOJ announced it would not pursue charges against Gaetz. CNN legal affairs correspondent Paula Reid told TheWrap that ultimately, “the system” had worked in Gaetz’s favor. She explained, “A lot of people were curious about why that case didn’t go forward — they worried, because he’s powerful and his family’s wealthy, that he was getting off.”

“Here, the system worked — they investigated, looked at the evidence [and] it didn’t have quite enough, so they decided not to go forward.”

Watch the exchange between Gonzales and Bash in the video above.

General Discussion / Black MAGA members in Chi-Town not happy with Mayor Brandon?

Black Chicago voters rip mayor on extra $70M for migrants as recall petition gathers steam
'We need that money in my neighborhood,' railed one Black woman wearing a red 'Make America Great Again' cowboy hat
Infuriated Black Chicagoans showed up in force at a City Council meeting on Wednesday to protest Mayor Brandon Johnson’s request for an additional $70 million in taxpayers' funds to be spent on tackling the city’s migrant crisis, while a petition that would give residents the right to recall the mayor is gathering serious traction.

The progressive mayor, who has vigorously defended the city’s sanctuary policies in the past, wants aldermen to greenlight the extra cash in a vote on Friday despite the Windy City having already poured $300 million into housing, food and health care for the recently arrived migrants, according to the city's latest numbers.

However, critics of the spending spree blasted the mayor during Wednesday’s gathering, where aldermen were initially expected to vote on rubber-stamping the new funds. Aldermen deferred the measure, using the council tactic to stall consideration.

Walks into his biggest enemy's territory and use their stuff LIKE A BOSS!!! 

30-pound cat nicknamed ‘Thicken Nugget’ is swimming his way to his goal weight after being surrendered

It’s the purr-fect weight-loss plan!

A 30-pound cat named Ty is swimming laps in an effort to lose 15 pounds after he was surrendered to Vanderburgh Humane Society in Evansville, Indiana in January.

“Weighing in at 30 pounds, our biggest concern is his thoracic spine and the overall toll his weight is having on his body,” the Humane Society said in February.

To help the portly pussycat slim down, Ty — affectionately nicknamed “Thicken Nugget” — started taking water therapy classes at the Canine Aquatic Center in February, where he swims twice a week and has already lost three pounds as of early this month, they announced on Facebook April 3.

“He has a long road ahead, but we’re optimistic that this therapy will help,” the animal welfare organization said.

GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw Burns Tucker Carlson With 1 Stinging Question About His Job

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) fired back at Tucker Carlson with a reminder of one of his more embarrassing moments after the right-wing video host attacked him on social media.

“Why do the reddest states produce the dumbest, most liberal Republicans?” Carlson tweeted. “Why aren’t John Cornyn and Dan Crenshaw bagging groceries at Walmart?”

That was a blunt reminder of Carlson’s widely mocked trip to Russia, where he visited a Moscow supermarket and marveled at things such as a shopping cart return system, like those that can found at just about any Aldi in the United States.

Carlson, a longtime apologist for Vladimir Putin, traveled to the country for an interview with the Russian leader that was so soft Putin himself mocked Carlson for it.

Carlson was slammed by people on both sides of the aisle over the visit.

“The Soviets had a term for people like Tucker: useful idiots,” another GOP lawmaker, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), said at the time.
