THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John
My parents were married for 32 years. They recently went through a divorce. We spent the holidays together as a family last year. It was a little awkward, but it was also really nice to see them together again. I was hoping we would be able to do that again. I know my dad still loves my mom and I think he's hoping that they will be back together again someday. I went to a movie over the weekend and bumped into my mom on a date with one of my dad's friends. It was super weird. I think they tried to avoid me, but we still ended up having an awkward encounter after the movie. I could tell my mother was super embarrassed, but we were all very polite. I've not talked to her yet, but I wonder if my dad knows that she's dating his friend? I don't think it's my place to say anything to him, but do you think I should talk to my mom about it? I think she should let my dad know so he can also move on. It breaks my heart, but I also understand, she is a single amazing woman. I have no clue what all lead up to the divorce so I'm not sure if they were already talking before the divorce or not. I feel a heavy weight from all of this. What advice do you have for me?
Signed
Sad Son

A study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research has found that more attractive adults are less likely to spend time gaming than those who are less attractive. A similar result was observed in teens. The researchers determined that it isn’t a case of playing video games making people ugly – the results “suggest…the better-looking have a…comparative advantage in social interactions as an alternative leisure activity”, so they logically spend more time with close friends and romantic partners, and less time gaming.

As
the kids get set to head back to class, here’s something that
teachers – and parents may not have thought of. The Wall Street
Journal reports that Gen Z’s typing proficiency is dwindling, as
young people adapt more and more to touch screens – and keyboarding
falls to the wayside, just like cursive did. In fact, some high
schoolers are more adept at typing on their iPads or smartphones than
on a traditional computer – and one 18-year-old even reported
writing an entire 8-page paper on a tablet.

Chick-Fil-A has hatched a plan for its own streaming service. The fast-food restaurant is moving aggressively into the entertainment space with plans to launch a slate of originals for its own streaming platform. Reportedly it has been working with a number of major production companies, including some studios, to create family-friendly shows, particularly in the unscripted space. It is also in talks to license and acquire content. Chick-Fil-A, known for its fried chicken sandwiches, is the latest company outside of the entertainment industry to move into making its own originals, joining the likes of Lyft and Airbnb.
Keanu Reeves’ latest excellent adventure comes in an unexpected field: hockey. The “Matrix” star dusted off his skates and signed a one-day contract with the Windsor Spitfires, a junior hockey team in the Ontario Hockey League. Reeves received a jersey and autographed a number of Spitfire-branded items that will be auctioned off, with proceeds going to the Canadian Mental Health Association. Reeves, who was born in Lebanon to an English mother and a Hawaiian father, grew up in Toronto. He played hockey as a teen, and considered playing goal for the SpitfireS before pursuing acting following an injury. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/58zkwams
The new players at the late-summer box office struggled to find their footing. Holdovers “Deadpool & Wolverine”, “Alien: Romulus” and “It Ends With Us” easily beat new offerings “Blink Twice” and “The Crow” reboot. Blink Twice opened in 4th place with about $7.3 million. The Crow — opening 30 years after the original hit the big screen — couldn’t crack the top 5, earning a $4.6 million to come in 7th over the weekend. Deadpool & Wolverine reclaimed the top spot in its 5th weekend with a haul of $18 million.

A fashion influencer says she has the ultimate money-saving travel hack. In Faith Woodhalls’s trending how-to TikTok video, she explains that if you want to avoid shelling out, say, an extra $40 to check an overstuffed suitcase at the airport, here’s what you should do: “Bring a second plastic bag full of stuff and buy a duty-free bag at the airport, so they think you’ve just bought stuff at the airport.” In the clip, the “FaithinFashion” host shows herself and a friend hiding their belongings in bags from a duty-free shop, as a way of avoiding luggage fees. Woodhall tells her 310,000 followers that the hack “works (like) a dream”, and she has never been charged for a second bag. One viewer commented: “This is genius”, while another wrote: “Been doing this for years. Works every time! Never had a problem.” LINK: https://tinyurl.com/ykbxwcfk

The Crocs company has teamed with DC Comics to create a surprisingly cool-looking version of its Classic Clogs. The recently-released limited-edition Batman x Crocs Classic Clog “Batmobile” takes its styling cues from the (awesome) version of the superhero’s ride featured in the 1989 “Batman” movie and its sequel “Batman Returns”. The new Crocs feature a variety of Batmobile elements, including the front turbine, discrete yellow headlights, and even a glossy windshield. At the back, you’ll find red stoplights, rear wheels, and the Batmobile’s iconic exhaust. And maybe the coolest element of all is the bat wing lateral spoiler on the heel strap. You can find them online for US $70.

Recently, the “Kind Humor” Facebook page asked readers to make their own contributions, after posting: “Hello. I am a person in a film or TV drama, and when I arrange to meet someone later, I have no need to specify a time or place.” Here are some awesome responses…
☞ “Hello, I drive to see someone and there is always a parking space right in front of the building.”
☞ “Hello. I am a woman giving birth in a film. It rakes 7 minutes. I pace about a bit, lie back on a bed, get very abruptly sweaty, yell, and there is a baby. The baby is clean and larger than you would expect.”
☞ “Hello. I am a person driving a car in a film. I rarely look at the road because it’s more important that I face the person in the passenger seat, and weirdly nobody else thinks that is really (freaking) dangerous.”
☞ “Hello. I’m a hacker in a Hollywood blockbuster. I don’t use any particular hacking software or know anything about how it’s actually done. All I need to do is type some random code on my keyboard and I’m in the mainframe.”
☞ “Hi, I’m a teacher in a film and the bell always rings just as I’m summing up the lesson so I just shout that I want your test papers on my desk by Thursday morning.”
☞ “Hello. I am a person having a shower or bath in a film. I never wash my body because I am too busy conveying my emotional state.”
☞ “Hello. I am a person in a movie who goes into a bar and orders a ‘beer’ and the bartender immediately serves me one without ever asking what type of beer or brand.”
☞ “Hello. I’m a beautiful heroine staying one step ahead of the zombies. It’s been weeks, and my hair and makeup are all perfect, even if my clothes are torn, showing just enough skin.”
☞ “Hello. I’m a bad guy in a film., and when I put a USB stick in anything I get it the right way round first time, every time.
