📰 In the news

Major healthcare expansion planned: Clarksville Council was presented with a 99-acre annexation request for Ascension St. Thomas, and rezoning for retail and dining, as a 44-bed hospital is planned to break ground in 2026 — get all the project details.

Stories from Wessyngton Plantation: Austin Peay State University will host the Asanbe-Eichhorn Symposium on March 19 at 1 pm in Morgan University Center, Clarksville, featuring author and genealogy expert John F. Baker Jr — get all the event details.

New exhibits and programs: Clarksville’s Customs House Museum highlights March with Freedom The History of US opening tomorrow, plus Deng Shiqing on view through April 24 and American Women Artists through April 26 — check out the full lineup.

Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.

Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.

Highlights this week:

• Cuddle adoptable cats and enjoy chair massages
• Compete for the Golden Ladle
• Inclusive Easter egg hunt with helicopter drops
• Unlock clinical-level wellness data from home

🫶 We got your back

Your data is for sale right now: There are over 400 websites selling your info to marketers, political campaigns, and scammers. They’ve got your phone number, home address, relatives’ names… you name it. That’s how robocallers seem to know everything about you before you pick up. You can remove your info one site at a time, or pay a service to do it for you. Here’s what we recommend →

Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared three programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →

What doctors wish every 65+ adult had at home: Physicians call it “long-lie,” and it’s the real reason falls are so dangerous for older adults. It’s not a broken bone… it’s lying on the floor for hours waiting for someone to notice. We dug into the options that actually solve this problem, and one stood out. See which one →

Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Check out my favorite online options →
