THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John
I'm 26 and have never had a girlfriend ever. But for a few minutes, I thought I had a chance. I even thought it may turn into my best summer ever, but now it's shaping up to be my worst. And it's all because of my dad. My parents got a puppy. A golden retriever. My mom named her Holly because she loves Christmas. I thought it was appropriate. My dad joked about the name and called her "Miss Princess Hollywood". He even registered that name with the vet. So when I was taking her to the vet for Holly's check-up, I was surprised to learn that the pup's name was listed on her form as "Miss Princess Hollywood." So I'm sitting in the waiting room, and a cute girl around my age comes in with a German Shepherd pup and sits by me. The pups started playing together, and we really hit it off. we talked about the dogs and I even asked her out. She said yes. Then the receptionist calls for our appointment and says, "Miss Princess Hollywood." I was so embarrassed, but it didn't help that while I was still standing there, they call out 'Duke' and the cute girl stands up with her pup. Now I'm totally embarrassed and went off on my dad. He thought it was funny and explained that it was just a bit of fun. He said we can call the dog Holly and it's all good. Then he said, "And how is Holly any less cool than Miss Princess Hollywood anyway?". My mom says the girl doesn't care and she is either into you or not...it has nothing to do with a dog's name. She said call her up and tell her about the joke. It'll be funny and she'll love it. But I'm so embarrassed and angry. And I don't know how to even approach her about it. What would you recommend? How can I try to fix this?

The old saying says that “Once you learn to ride a bicycle, you never forget”. But what if you never learned in the first place? That’s the case for a shocking 24% of adults, according to a new poll. The survey of 2,000 Brits found almost a quarter lack this fundamental skill, a big jump from just 1 in 8, in a poll taken 5 years ago. Other activities that many adults were found to struggle with include: rollerblading (46%), swimming (28%), skateboarding (50%), ice skating (43%), and soccer (30%). So why don’t these people learn? Fear and embarrassment are the main reasons. Among those who can’t ride a bike, 16% said they are afraid of falling off. 52% said they feel they lack the skills needed to learn new sports – and 42% said they’re worried about embarrassing themselves in the process.

Only one US president was born on the 4th of July, (Calvin Coolidge)
but
THREE have died on Independence Day. Even more bizarre, two of these
presidents ALSO signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776. John
Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died on the same day, July 4th
1826 and James Monroe died five years later on July 4th
1831. He did not sign the Declaration of Independence, but he did pen
the Monroe Doctrine, another important founding paper.

A sequel to the iconic comedy “Freaky Friday” is well underway, and Disney has confirmed a release year for the project. With Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reprising the roles of mother-daughter duo ‘Anna’ and ‘Tess Coleman’, the follow-up to Mark Waters’ 2003 movie is expected to hit cinemas in 2025. Disney marked the announcement with a shot of the 2 stars holding hands on set. The pic is a nod to the body-swap plot, as Lohan is pictured outside Curtis’s trailer, while Curtis is seen on the stairs of her co-star’s trailer, and doing the ‘rock on’ gesture, just as teen rocker Anna would.

Andy Serkis has given ‘Batman’ fans a timeline for when to expect Robert Pattinson’s Caped Crusader back on the big screen. The hotly anticipated sequel to Matt Reeves’ 2022 “The Batman” should arrive in theaters by mid-2026, or shortly after, according to Serkis, who plays Bruce Wayne’s trusted butler and confidant in the new iteration of the DC saga. Speaking at an event at ACE Superhero Comic Con 2024, Serkis joked: “Well, there is a huge arc which you’ve got – nah, I’m not giving away anything” — before revealing production is likely to start in early 2025.

Summer
allergies are nothing to sneeze at. And you might be able to keep it
that way if you follow this expert advice at keeping the congestion,
coughing, teary eyes and, yes, sneezing, away: Shower before you
sleep. Dr. Monica Kraft, an allergist and immunologist at the Ohio
State University, said that for allergy sufferers, “going to sleep
with the pollen that has coated the hair, skin and respiratory tract
can mean longer exposure to what you are allergic to ― even when
you’re no longer outdoors.” She notes that steam from a hot
shower not only removes pollen — it also loosens mucus, thereby
lessening your symptoms. Other experts suggest showering and changing
clothes as soon as you get indoors, to reduce pollen on the skin, and
the amount brought into the home.
Apparently, the one thing
that all the “it-girls” seem to agree on is – the shade ‘butter
yellow’ is going to be hot this summer. And while yellow is a
typical spring-summer color every year, this year, it’s definitely
a thing: Data shows that searches for “butter yellow” have
skyrocketed 98% on the Asos fashion company’s website over the past
month. And I’m sure you’ve seen the trendy color all over
TikTok’s #foryoupage. And over the last few months, butter yellow
has been featured on some big-name fashion trend-setters, including
Hailey Beiber and Emily Ratajawkowski – and current singing
sweetheart Sabrina Carpenter.

Twenty-three sets of twins have graduated from a Massachusetts middle school, making up about 10% of the 8th-grade class. The identical and fraternal twins graduated from Pollard Middle School in Needham. What’s more, another student, who is also a twin, graduated — but her brother attends a different school. The principal said the school typically has “anywhere from 5 to 10 sets at most” in the graduating class. Twins account for around 3% of live births in the US, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.
