This heinous crime happened more than 2 weeks ago and it's already out of the news cycle. This hideous monster brutally murdered his wife, 2 little children and his mother in law. The cops let him go and he's now on the run. I don't think anyone is even looking for him. Please let's get some justice for this poor family and the one little girl who survived this massacre.
Gaming and hanging out at home all the time gets boring after awhile. Going bowling, out to eat or to the movie theater is so expensive now, and only for the rich kids. My son and his friends don't have much money and are doing some really risky things late at night/early in the morning and I don't know how to stop him/them from making these bad decisions. Im very afraid this isn't going to end well and this is the only one I've got. I'd like to give him some other ideas of fun safe cheap things to do on a Saturday night instead but can't really think of anything.
How long have you been looking? (Or how long did it take you to get a job offer?) If you found a job, what's your title, industry, starting pay and state or country?

The current media landscape is more fractured than ever with seemingly millions of different sources to get news: TV, radio, internet, social media, podcasts, newspapers, magazines, etc. There's way too much noise and information overload and increasingly difficult to discern what is real, true and credible. What are your top choices to read, watch or listen to? Or do you just tune it all out and not pay attention?

It was top level cringe.
They looked embarrassed to be there, and I was embarrassed for them. Carrie Underwood had to sing over vince and her performance made him look like a fool. The band should consider taking her on tour with them this summer instead.
A 28-year-old mother and her two young children were chased down a street and killed in a shooting that shocked a Florida city on May 3.
According to the Plant City Police Department, the violence occurred at two separate locations. Officers first responded to reports of a disturbance in the 300 block of West Tever Street, where four individuals were found.
A 4-month-old infant and a 4-year-old child had sustained gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene. Their mother, Hailey Dempsey, was still alive when officers arrived. She was transported to a local hospital, where she later died from her injuries. Another child at the scene was unharmed.
“During the investigation, officers were led to a second location in the 900 block of North Burton Street, where the 55-year-old mother of the 28-year-old was found deceased from a gunshot wound,” Chief Richard Mills Jr. said in an official statement on Facebook.
The victim at the second location was later identified as Valerie Deboe, Dempsey’s mother.
Investigators said that Dempsey reportedly ran nearly half a mile carrying her newborn baby while trying to save her children. The family was later found in bushes nearby.
Husband Detained, Then Released
Hailey Dempsey’s husband, Jay Dempsey, 27, was detained nearby, with neighbors witnessing the arrest. However, he was later released due to a lack of evidence, according to the Daily Mail, and no suspect is currently in custody.
A neighbor of Deboe, John Czarniak, told authorities the couple had argued on May 1. Police were called to the residence but left soon after.
He also claimed he saw Jay Dempsey putting on a bulletproof vest and loading a large duffel bag into his car on May 2.
”He came walking out of the woods at 3 a.m. (on May 3), got in his dead wife’s car, and drove off,” Czarniak said.
Investigators also noted that Jay Dempsey is an avid shooter who previously shared multiple photos from his shooting outings on social media platforms.
After being released from custody, Jay allegedly left town and deleted all his social media accounts.
Police Seek the Public’s Help
The Plant City Police Department continues to investigate the killings and is urging the public to come forward with information.
“Some of the people traveled on foot between North Burton Street and the West Tever Street locations during the early morning hours,” said Mills Jr.
Authorities are asking residents and businesses in the area to:
Review surveillance or doorbell camera footage recorded between 5:30 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. on May 3, 2026.
Check for video showing a woman walking with three young children near North Burton Street, West Tever Street, or the surrounding areas.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the police at 813-763-3316. “Information can be provided anonymously,” Mills Jr. said.
“I cannot imagine the devastation. I hope that child has supportive and loving family that will care for him,” said Camryn Henry of Plant City Commission Group.
The investigation remains active and ongoing, authorities said.

Hello, a few years ago I took in a very friendly stray cat. She is the most wonderful affectionate cat I've ever had however she is a little needy and wants constant attention. Unfortunately I have other things to do besides pet and play with her all day so I'm unable to give her constant attention. I've bought a lot of toys for her but she doesn't play with them. She seems bored and lonely to me.
I'd like to get her a companion pet to keep her company but not sure what she'd get along with best: another female cat or a male cat? And what age would be best: older, younger or around the same age? Or would a dog (boxer or golden retriever) be better than another cat? What's your experience been introducing a new pet into your home with an already established one?
Hello, I'm a disabled old lady who has been fruitlessly job searching for 5 years. It's been more than a year since my last interview request and I am quickly sinking into deep debt. It has become apparent that no company will ever hire me again and I have to do something to bring in some income. My only option of last resort is to start my own consulting business but I have no idea how to go about doing so.
I want to be able to accept and work with clients from all over the US and I will be a sole proprietorship (don't want to deal with managing employees). Do I just need a business license in my state or what kind of license do I need?
I have ideas for 2 different and unrelated consulting businesses I'd like to run. Do I need to set them up separately? Or can I set up one generic overarching company with the 2 consulting businesses falling underneath? (Sorry I don't know the correct terminology for that.) Is there a way to keep my name hidden from public view? How does a dba work and would that be appropriate?
Because I have no funding, I want to build my own website using a do-it-yourself app, include a calendar showing my availability for appointments that clients can click on to book an appointment and then also accept credit card payments through the booking system. What is the best/easiest website app that can do all that?
Does anyone have a similar consulting business plan that they'd be willing to share that I can use as a template for my own? I'm also trying to get an idea of what my startup costs would be. Since I haven't worked in 5 years,and have no income or savings to tap into, I'm obviously trying to do this as inexpensively as possible.
I appreciate any info you can share.

My location: FL, POA's and Principal's location: NY
My auntie is widowed, with no children and has assets around $6M. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's more than a year ago. Of all my siblings, I have the closest relationship with my aunt, but I live 1500 miles away and no knowledge of financial matters or elder care. I have a sister who lives near our aunt and would occasionally check in on her and get paid to take her to the doctor or grocery shopping.
My aunt was living alone in an old unsafe filthy house, her drivers license was taken away and had no way to go anywhere on her own and I was very concerned with her safety. When I told my sister that our aunt should go into ALF, sister said she didn't have POA and our aunt couldn't afford it (which is a lie because our aunt worked a high paying job her whole life, had investments, was very thrifty, owns a home in an upscale neighborhood, and 2 high-end vehicles). My aunt also told me she didn't have a POA. Neighbors finally called APS and my sister was forced to put our aunt in an ALF. But I suspect she printed a generic POA document off the Internet and forced our aunt to sign it (after she's already been declared incompetent) when she was admitted to the ALF. Now my sister is saying she does have POA but she refuses to show her documents to any other family members. She has been extremely secretive and evasive about what's happening with our aunt's health and care, and won't answer even the simplest of questions.
My sister got so annoyed by the questions I was asking that she told the ALF to refuse my phone calls (the only way I am able to communicate with my aunt because I live so far away). Before my aunt was admitted to the ALF, I would have lengthy frequent phone conversations with her and I think it was very good for maintaining her mental health and cognitive skills. Now I can only talk to her once every few weeks when another sibling goes to visit. I can already detect a marked decline in my aunt's cognitive skills. My other sibling can't visit our aunt often because she doesn't live near the ALF, has a demanding full-time job and other personal/family obligations. The sister that now says she has POA does not go visit our aunt at all. Our aunt has been cut off from communicating with me, receives very infrequent visits from other relatives and essentially has been left to die.
My sister who now says she has POA was only working part-time before our aunt went into the ALF, but has since quit her job. She lives with her boyfriend who also has some kind of gig job. My sister took one of our aunt's cars (without her permission), used our aunt's money to pay for repairs (on a car my aunt can no longer drive because her DL was revoked) and is now driving it around like it's hers. She and her boyfriend also went on an extravagant very lengthy international trip, which they've never done before, and I strongly suspect they used our aunt's money to pay for it. I am concerned they are now using our aunt's accounts to pay for their own living expenses, and once her accounts are drained, and there's no money left for the ALF, our aunt will be sent off to some low quality Medicaid nursing home.
Of course these are all just strong suspicions and I have no definitive proof that my sister is intentionally isolating my aunt, has an invalid/fraudulent POA and is stealing/misusing her assets. I don't have money to hire an attorney or PI. Is there anything else I can do to regain communication with my aunt (before she forgets who I am) and/or get some investigation into how her finances are being handled?
Hello my husband and I are in our late 50s and we have one 20 year old child. We don't have much asset wise (a home we're still paying a mortgage on, I have a small amount in an IRA, my husband has a 401k, and a couple very old worthless cars) and we intend to leave everything to him. What documents do we need, and how much should we expect to spend on getting them in place?
Everything I've read recommends replacing them every 3 years, however my son's first pair lasted 6-7 years and he's had his current pair for 5 years. HAs are a major expense for our low income family. We will need to plan, sacrifice other needed household items and save very carefully to buy him new ones. We don't want to wait until the current pair stops working, but we need to hold off on a purchase as long as possible. When should we replace them? What is the longest you used the same pair? What is the realistic lifespan?
