THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John
My wife and I have been married for over thirty years. We have kids who have grown up and moved away. We have grand children who come to visit once in a while, but most of the time it's just the two of us. We had a dog, but our dog passed away last year. I noticed that my wife and I spend much of our days doing different things. I feel like we have different interests and it seems like we barely even talk anymore. She seems angry with me most of the time lately. I'm not sure what I can do fix that. She gives me a little honey do list once in a while. I do the list and move on. I usually don't even know if she notices that I finished her projects. Some good friends of ours just went through a divorce. It was hard to watch that happen to someone else. I can't imagine what it would be like to go through that. I want to do something big to show my wife I still love her, but I don't know what that should be. We're OK financially. I thought a trip somewhere might be nice. I know she would love a trip to Greece and that area. I'm thinking it would be a nice surprise, but the last time I did something big, I surprised her by buying her a car. She had mentioned how much she liked the look of the car, so I traded in her car when she was visiting our son. When she came home she was upset that her car was gone. She said I should have discussed it with her first, but then it would not have been a surprise! Now I'm concerned to try to surprise her with a trip because it's also a big expense. What do I do? Blow the surprise with a discussion? Risk blowing the whole trip with a surprise?
Signed
Happy Hubby

Scientists have long-recognized the power of the mind when it comes to healing. But now, researchers say they have found that placebo pills can actually help — even when a patient knows they’re taking a placebo. In the just-published study, carried out during the height of the pandemic, scientists from Michigan State University, Miami University, and the University of California-San Francisco looked into how these “honest pills” (placebos) could be used to provide relief before patients are forced to turn to prescription meds. Two groups of people were assembled, both of which reported moderate levels of stress related to COVID-19. One group was given placebo pills, which they were aware of, and the other was not given pills. After just 2 weeks, the placebo group reported significant reductions in COVID-related stress, lower overall stress levels, and fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression, compared to the other group. The researchers say the result challenges the long-held belief that placebos only work when people are deceived about receiving active treatment.

Her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was born on April 21, 1926, which is why
she celebrates her actual birthday each spring. However, the head of
the British royal family also observes a second "official"
birthday celebration called the Trooping the Colour. King George II
started the tradition in 1748 because his own birthday was in
November, which was too cold for an annual parade. He decided to hold
an additional ceremony during the warmer weather.

Gwyneth Paltrow is back. The Oscar winner and Goop mastermind is joining Timothée Chalamet in Josh Safdie‘s ping pong movie “Marty Supreme.” It’ll be Paltrow’s first on-screen movie role since “Avengers: Endgame” in 2019. No word yet regarding her character. Plot details for “Marty Supreme” are scarce, but studio A24 posted an image of a table tennis ball with the words “coming soon”, after news of the project broke in June.
Just like in the movies, ‘Deadpool’ can’t be killed. “Deadpool & Wolverine” ruled the box office on a weekend of low theater attendance as the summer movie season came to a close. With a take of $16 million, Marvel’s smash hit topped the charts for a second week in a row, and after 6 weeks in theaters, crossed the domestic $600 million mark. “Reagan,” a biopic starring Dennis Quaid, exceeded projections, raking in an estimated $9.2 million, to take 4th spot. Same as last weekend, “Alien: Romulus” placed second, earning $9.3 million. “It Ends With Us” ranked #3 for the third consecutive weekend.
SCOOP OF THE DAY: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com
Social critics say we’re experiencing a narcissism epidemic.
Apparently, there’s even an app for THIS: “Timeleft” promises to schedule dinner for you and 5 strangers, if you’re into that kind of thing. The app’s developers say that making new friends as an adult can be tough, and it aims to tackle “big-city loneliness” one meal at a time, and is now available in almost 50 countries, including the US and Canada. When you sign up, Timeleft asks questions about your job, personality, lifestyle and dietary preferences, then matches you with 5 supposedly compatible diners. Dinners take place at 7pm on a Wednesday and cost $16 to book. Those who are scheduled to dine together don’t know who they will be meeting until the night before, when the app reveals your dining partners’ industries and zodiac signs. The restaurant is shared the next morning. To help spark conversation, the app unlocks an icebreaker game once the date begins. And after dinner, everyone in that city who has been on a Timeleft date is invited to an after-party at a local bar, where they are able to meet even more strangers.

“SpongeBob SquarePants” fans, rejoice! Fast-food restaurant Wendy’s is reportedly coming out with its own Krabby Patty burger – a menu mainstay at the Krusty Krab on the beloved Nickelodeon cartoon. The under-the-sea delicacy will become available on Oct. 8 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the show, according to a supposedly leaked Wendy’s memo that was posted on Reddit. The sandwich will be part of a Krabby Patty meal, and is described as “a premium cheeseburger with Wendy’s fresh, never frozen beef, topped with fresh produce and a secret Krabby Patty sauce, capturing the magic of the iconic fictional sandwich for SpongeBob fans,” according to the memo. Wendy’s will also reportedly be selling a “Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty”, featuring the restaurant’s “Vanilla Frosty swirled with Pineapple Mango puree.” The boob-tube-inspired food will only be available until Nov. 11.
