THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John
I'm concerned about my brother. The last few years he has been pretty scatter-brained. He will make plans with our family and completely forget about the plans. He recently lost his job, but I don't know if that's related to this or not. He went through a divorce a few years ago and we noticed this started around that same time. Sadly, I don't know if this started before the divorce or after, but in that general time-frame. It may have even been a contributing factor. There have been many little things that add up to me being concerned. So many things that seem pretty rude, when he makes plans then forgets them, or changes his mind at the very last minute. He also tried to buy a car from a friend of mine. They worked on the details for a few days and the friend finally reached out to me to let me know that she needed to sell the car to someone else because my brother just quit replying to her. Later my brother told me he was upset that my friend “sold it our from under him” but I explained that he had not heard from you for a few days! What should I do? Several other family members have also noticed. We've asked if we can help somehow, but he doesn't think there's a problem. What do you do when someone you love is experiencing something like this?
Signed
Sad little brother

According to new research, the average person spends 1,460 hours each year…feeling tired. To break that down, that works out to 4 hours of bleary-eyed staring into nothingness each and every day. Want more? The survey, carried out in the US, also found that a third of us “always” or “often” still feel tired — even after a good night’s sleep. Perhaps as a result, 32% of respondents said they find themselves procrastinating chores when they feel tired, and 30% said they sometimes simply stay in bed. 21% shared that they end up skipping exercising, and 20% avoid cooking. 58% of those surveyed agreed that being tired often keeps them from enjoying life.

chest x-rays. When astronauts leave Earth, they face a range of
factors that affect them physically. That includes the intense amount
of radiation that they're exposed: According to NASA, it's the
equivalent of anywhere between 150 to a staggering 6,000 chest

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have taken their playful banter to the big screen. In the new Marvel film “Deadpool & Wolverine”, out today, Reynolds’ character ‘Deadpool’ reportedly jokes about his pal Jackman’s real-life divorce. News.com says that in one scene, Deadpool looks at Jackman’s character ‘Wolverine’, and quips: “He’s usually shirtless, but he’s let himself go since the divorce.” While Wolverine’s character has never been through a divorce in the films, the “X-Men” actor has. Last September, Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness announced their separation after 27 years of marriage.
With the blockbuster success of “Deadpool & Wolverine”, Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe has become the first film franchise in history to cross $30 billion at the global box office. The achievement was announced during the studios’ presentation at San Diego Comic-Con. Deadpool & Wolverine pushed the total haul across the coveted milestone after scoring a $205 million domestic opening weekend — the biggest ever for an R-rated release and the 8th-highest of all time. It earned an estimated $400 million globally over the weekend.
A bikini worn by Carrie Fisher in “Star Wars Episode VI Return of The Jedi” has sold for $175,000. The iconic gold costume, which also included hip rings and bracelets and was worn by the late actress when her character ‘Princess Leia’ was captured and chained up by ‘Jabba the Hut’, went under the hammer at Heritage Auctions in Dallas. The auction also saw a miniature Y-Wing starfighter ship used in a mission to destroy the Death Star in “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope” sell for $1.55 million.

National Clown Week begins on Thursday
Many of us, I’m sure, are watching the Paris Olympics from the comfort of the couch, bag of chips in hand, and wondering to ourselves: “Why don’t I look like that?” And while it is natural to compare ourselves to others, experts say we should cut ourselves some slack. As Dr. Amadeus Mason, medical director for USA Track and Field pointed out, most of the competitors spend their entire lives training for this one moment. That means it is unrealistic to expect to look like an Olympian, but it might be a good thing to enjoy the Games – and become inspired by them. Athletes don’t make it to the Olympics by accident — they identified a goal, assessed what it would require of them mentally and physically, and then addressed their obstacles and limitations. Mason suggests we do the same with our personal goals, but recognize the destinations will be different. For instance, if you’re a working mom, it might even be considered a lofty goal to work out consistently for 30 minutes, 5 days a week. And remember: It’s easy to put Olympians on a pedestal, but working out is their full-time job.

During
the 1936 Berlin Games, 2 Japanese pole-vaulters tied for second
place. Instead of competing again, they cut the silver and bronze
medals in half and fused the 2 different halves together, so that
each had a half-silver and half-bronze medal.

One of Oscar Mayer’s famed hot dog-shaped Wienermobiles ended up flipped onto its side after crashing on a suburban Chicago highway. Cops say the Wienermobile hit a car Monday morning along Interstate 294 and its driver lost control, causing it to roll onto its side. No injuries were reported after the crash, which prompted the closure of the right lane of the northbound lane for more than an hour. Video from the crash scene shows that the yellow and orange Wienermobile being hauled away on a flatbed truck with damage visible to the vehicle’s wiener-like shape. Oscar Mayer has several Wienermobiles, which it uses at promotional events. (Yes, I understand it has 12 of them – exactly 4 more than Wonder Bread has “Bun Mobiles”!)
