THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John
My husband is super competitive. Last week he was in the driveway, playing basketball with our ten year old son. When I got home I thought “how great is that?” But then I saw that he was beating him so badly our son was actually crying. My husband didn't let up at all. I ended the game because it was dinner time. That was an awkward dinner. Last night they were playing a video games and again my husband was beating him easily. I whispered in my husband's ear, "you should really give him a chance," He said “He has to learn to lose at some point. When he beats me then he will feel great.” It started a fight between the two of us and I slept in our guest room. I think my husband is completely wrong about this! What do you think? Should he let our son win to feel the feeling of accomplishment? I'm afraid our son will just quit playing if he never wins.
Signed
Miffed Momma

According to a new poll, the average worker experiences the “Sunday scaries” 36 times a year. That means we spend 70% of our Sundays dreading Monday! The survey of 2,000 Americans found that typically, this panic, which was also defined as anxiety or dread over what to expect in the coming work-week, kicks in around 3:54pm on Sunday. To counter the Sunday scaries, respondents said their favorite thing to do on a Sunday is to binge-watch their favorite shows (51%), followed by watching movies (42%), sleeping in (42%), cooking (31%), and going for walks (26%).

If
you’re one of those unfortunate people who lost their sense of
smell as a result of COVID-19, you’ll be happy to know that
researchers at St Joseph’s Health Care London (Ontario) are trying
to help. Loss of sense of smell and taste is a common symptom of
COVID. It can also be accompanied by parosmia, a disorder that turns
normal odors into a stench. One new treatment involves injecting a
local anesthetic into a collection of nerves in the neck, thus
temporarily blocking some signals resulting in a distorted sense of
smell. It brought some relief to test subject Rebecca, who lost 30
pounds because many foods smelled bad to her. Quote: “Coffee was
the worst. It smelled like hot garbage.”

Four years later, Al Pacino has opened up about his near-death experience with COVID-19. The Oscar-winner revealed his “pulse was gone” after he had a bad reaction to steroids while being treated for a life-threatening Coronavirus infection in 2020. He told New York Times: “It was so — you’re here, you’re not”, and “you don’t even have your memories. You have nothing.” He said that he had a nurse at his home to help hydrate him and deal with a fever, and then “I was gone”. He awoke to “about 6 paramedics and 2 doctors” in his living room, and they said: ‘He’s back. He’s here.’”
Jack Nicholson helped define the glitzy cool of sitting courtside at an NBA game. And appropriately, the Lakers stalwart — along with Spike Lee, Billy Crystal and Alan Howitz — are being honored by the Nasmith Hall of Fame as part of the Hall’s 2024 Enshrinement Weekend. They will become members of the Hall’s James F. Goldstein SuperFan Gallery. Lee is being honored for his promotion of the New York Knicks, with Crystal and real estate mogul Horwitz for their devotion to the Philadelphia 76ers. The ceremony will take place on Sunday at the Hall of Fame in Springfield Massachusetts.
The infamous house from the 1982 horror classic “Poltergeist” is being transformed into an Airbnb, available to rent by supernatural-obsessed fans. The home, built in 1979, is located in Simi Valley, California. It sold Friday for $1.28 million, and the new owner reportedly wants to turn the 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home into an Airbnb that will replicate the iconic movie’s set. But don’t get too excited just yet. TMZ says it won’t be Airbnb-ready for Halloween, because the owner “wants to make it perfect and not rush things.”

A survey found that 20% of people have begun their Christmas Shopping.
Don’t you just hate it when you’re in a store, and that thing that you’re trying to buy is locked up in a display case? Then, you have to find a customer service person (and you know they are few and far-between these days…), and ask them to come over with a key to open the thing up for you to make your selection. Then, THEY have to walk you over to the register with it, to make sure you aren’t going to shove it in your pocket… Well, it’s not just you (and me!). A new survey by Consumer World found that 2 out of 3 shoppers won’t bother asking a worker to access merchandise from a locked case. More than half (55%) said they usually leave, and buy the item somewhere else. 13% said they try to find a similar item elsewhere in the same store, that ISN’T under lock and key. As you probably know, stores started keeping some stuff locked up to prevent theft, but it defeats the purpose if it prevents customers from buying certain items.

Some artsy Gen Zs have taken to…decorating the inside of their toilet bowls. Yes, fancying up the facilities with adhesive, flower-shaped discs is becoming a thing with 20-somethings. The TokTok trend, popularized with the #ToiletTalk, comes on the heels of the recent “fridgescaping” fad, which sees fashionistas add things like flowers and framed pictures to their fridges, along with thoughtfully placed groceries. And who can forget the “airport tray atheistic” mania, where travelers neatly unpack their belongings into TSA bins and snap Instagram-worthy pics, before boarding a flight.
