THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
As a parent, I want to make sure that my kids are safe and happy above all else. But I don't know if I can do it much longer. My 17-year-old daughter got a great job. It's in the industry she wants to be in, and she loves it. She doesn't get paid much, has to work long hours after school and at night, and she doesn't drive. Plus, many nights she works until 11 or later and I'm exhausted the next day. it's starting to affect my job and my life. My daughter has said that she’d look for another job with more suitable hours but she loves this so much and I want her to be happy. I don't like the idea of her riding with someone else late at night, and she couldn't really afford to pay for it anyway since she doesn't make that much money. This is becoming a big sacrifice. And I don't know how to deal with it. If it were just any old job, I'd have her quit and find another one. But this is a good job for her future. I'm trying to get her to get a driver's license and we can find a way for her to use my car until she can afford her own. What should I do?
Signed
Tired Momma

If you’re extroverted, love horror, and fall asleep to TV or podcasts — you’re more likely to sleep in the buff. That’s according to a survey of 2,000 Americans, which looked at differences in personalities and sleeping habits of those who sleep naked vs. those who wear pajamas. Those who sleep au naturel are also slightly more likely to be a night owl, and more likely to say they’re “very confident” than those who sleep in PJs. Respondents who sleep in the nude were also found to be happier with their sex life. Respondents who sleep in pajamas are more likely to watch drama and mystery movies, and more likely to be early birds.

Gamers are particularly at risk of going deaf or developing tinnitus because of excessively loud sound levels on their gaming consoles, researchers warn. A study by the World Health Organization and South Carolina University found that sound levels coming from gaming consoles can spike to short bursts of 119 decibels, equivalent to the noise of a bulldozer or motorbike. Prolonged exposure to anything over 85 decibels can lead to hearing loss or tinnitus.

A Vancouver Island woman was heading home one night in Courtenay when she stumbled on an envelope stuffed with cash, frozen in the snow. Talia Ball said she “just saw like a $100 bill in the snow, so I thought like maybe somebody just dropped one — (but) it was like a big stack of cash.” It had the word ‘kids’ written on it, so she knew it was important to a family somewhere. Ball turned to social media, posting a message about the discovery, which spread like wildfire. She withheld the exact amount of cash, and other details, to ensure she would find the rightful owner. And it wasn’t long before someone who knew the family who lost the money connected them with the post. Ball said that when the owner came by, he told her that his wife “cried when she found out someone had actually turned it in.” She was given a $50 reward for her honesty.

Hidden Valley has done it again, putting ranch dressing where it was never intended to be. It has gotten together with Burt’s Bees to come up with 4 new flavors of…wait for it…lip balm: Ranch, Buffalo Sauce, Crunchy Celery, and Fresh Carrot. Add that to past collaborations, which have produced ranch-flavored ice cream, ranch churros, pickle flavored ranch dressing, ranch popcorn, ranch chili crunch topping, and a “self” collaboration on Double Ranch, “the ranchiest ranch yet.” Oh, and in 2022, Hidden Valley created a 2-carat diamond ring with Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning. Not to mention the fact that later this year, the company will debut its clothing line, Hidden Valley Clothing.
