North Dakota's historic sites will finally have toilets that flush
The bandleader's childhood family home marks the latest step in the State Historical Society of North Dakota's nearly completed goal of installing flush toilets at its dozen most popular, staffed sites. The most recent success, with the final three planned to be completed soon, came before the unveiling of a statue of Welk at a site that draws fans who recall 'The Lawrence Welk Show,' which ran on TV for decades starting in the 1950s.

The first location is expected to open in Cincinnati during Q1 of 2026, which will mark the company's first brick-and-mortar location in the Midwest. Açaí OH is led by veteran operator Parin Chokshi.

Texas woman says she can't access paychecks, has no say in marital finances. 'Take control,' urges Ramsey Show
Ellie from Dallas, Texas, knew something was off in her marriage. After years with a financially controlling spouse, she's finally ready to leave. The problem? She doesn't have access to the family's money despite earning $40,000 a year as a part-time nurse. Feeling trapped, she called The Ramsey Show for advice. 'He's gotten so financially abusive,' she said in a recent episode. 'He transfers what he wants — my allowance — to my account. I can't see the other accounts.' Hosts Dr. John Delony and George Kamel didn't hold back. 'I can tell you right now: he sucks,' Delony said. 'That's not a way to be married to somebody.' But after hearing all the facts, they encouraged her to put her anxieties aside and take a real step toward getting out of this situation. Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it Financially trapped? Despite raising concerns with her husband — even saying she no longer feels safe in the marriage — nothing has changed. Ellie has tried to talk to her husband about their joint financial situation. She's gone so far as to tell him that she doesn't feel safe in the marriage. But even these relatively drastic measures haven't made a crack in the ice. After hearing Ellie's story, Delony didn't mince words: 'He has left you so long ago. He just never filed papers.' He urged her to grieve the reality of her marriage, then shift focus to what comes next. Her biggest question: 'How do you get out when you have no access to any of the finances?' Ellie earns $40,000 working as a part-time nurse, but her paychecks are deposited into a joint account — which her husband controls. Once the money hits, he transfers most of it into an account she can't access. 'But you have control, you have say in the joint account, right?' asked Kamel. Technically, she does. But Ellie's afraid to withdraw more than he 'allows,' fearing retaliation. She worries he'll cut off essentials like her phone or car insurance if she pushes back during a potential divorce. 'Is this real?' asked Delony. Read more: Nervous about the stock market? Gain potential quarterly income through this $1B private real estate fund — even if you're not a millionaire. Taking ownership of your finances The hosts believed Ellie's fear of financial uncertainty during and after divorce was keeping her stuck. 'You make $40,000 bucks a year, and you could turn a switch on and make $65,000 starting tomorrow… you could have an apartment tomorrow if you wanted one. Period,' Delony said. Instead of dwelling on obstacles, the hosts urged Ellie to focus on solutions. Kamel recommended a first step: redirect her paycheck into a new individual account only she controls. While her husband may retaliate, it's a necessary move toward financial independence. 'You're going to take ownership of the things you have control over — and there's more in control than you think,' said Kamel. With access to her full income, Ellie could afford her own one-bedroom apartment and start covering her own bills. As for legal help, Delony advised finding a divorce attorney who accepts payment on the back end — a common option in situations like hers. If a retainer is required, regaining control of her paycheck could help her save for it.

Ask Amy & T.J.: My husband won't set boundaries with his ex-wife
What can you do when your partner's ex is always around? Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes share their advice for a reader whose husband refuses to set boundaries with his first wife. Video Transcript Damn, that's how we're starting this. Dear Amy TJ, my husband has grandchildren from a previous marriage, which isn't a problem. However, their grandmother, she's always around, and every time they meet, she's hugging and kissing on them. I've asked him over and over to set boundaries, but he acts like he doesn't know what that means. I told him I'm not comfortable going to our next event if she'll be there. No ropes, OK, I'm going anyway. This is about respect. And it doesn't seem like he respects her, and certainly the ex-wife doesn't respect her, but you've got to have your husband's support on that. Reverse it. How would he feel? Our reader is saying that she's abusive and physically touching her husband, and they used to be married. That would be an issue for any second wife. There are very few no-brainers that we get. I'm trying to see his perspective in some way, and I can't. I can't see why she is of such value to him and his world and his life that it's worth upsetting the woman he now declares he wants to spend the rest of his life with. If you cared, you would change. If you cared, you would set a boundary. I know we don't deal in ultimatums, but she just needs to make a decision if he doesn't respect her on this, and it's this important to her, she needs to decide what her next step is. So we don't like ultimatums, but she should give him one. Maybe she should give herself one, yeah, and ask her what can you tolerate? Is this? I don't like it, but can I live with it because I love him? What are you living with because you love me? Wow, let me pull out my notes.
