THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
For the past 10 years, my husband and I have enjoyed dining out with a couple of our friends. We always split the check evenly. Over the holidays, we decided to embrace sobriety and no longer drink the expensive drinks that significantly add to the bill. Just us having a glass of wine would add $40 to the cost of the meal. So now that they are still adding $40 or so dollars to each bill and we aren’t, we thought it was time to stop splitting the check or have them pay for their own alcohol. We have already gone out with them twice since we quit drinking, which cost us a lot more than if we had split it! We don’t want this to be a problem with our friends, but it only seems fair to make this change. Does that make us jerks? How do we make this change without looking petty or cheap?
Signed,
Happy Couple

SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH: Brought to you by JaseCaseMedical.com
It is well known that sitting all day at work can be bad for your health. But a 2022 study found that standing while you work, at least part of the time, not only is good for you, it can make you more productive. Researchers at University of Queensland monitored 20 adults who were given 3 different desks: a sit-stand desk that allowed them to stand while working; a sit-walk desk that had them walk slowly on the job; and a traditional sit-only desk. It was determined that those using the sit-stand desk or the sit-walk desk left workers with lower levels of cortisol, the hormone that causes stress, and stronger focus on their tasks. The lead researcher said: “Desks that allow workers to alternate between sitting and standing or walking…contribute to work productivity and successful business outcomes.”

“Den of Thieves 2: Pantera” — starring Gerard Butler and O’Shea Jackson Jr. – bounced “Mufasa: The Lion King” from the top of the weekend office. The action crime thriller earned an estimated $15 million in its opening weekend domestically, toppling the king – Mufasa: The Lion King – from its perch at the top of the box office since the 5-day Christmas weekend. Projections show Disney’s live-action prequel to its 2019 remake of “The Lion King” earned about $13.2 million over the weekend.
Will Ferrell finally explained why he revived ‘Buddy the Elf’ at a hockey game. He went viral for dressing as his iconic character while attending the Dec. 29 NHL game between the LA Kings and Philadelphia Flyers. But this iteration of Buddy came with a cigarette dangling from his mouth and a beer in hand. Ferrel explained that he and his wife are season ticket holders, with seats “right on the glass.” He felt: “It would be funny if I just got a Buddy the Elf costume and didn’t shave for a week, and I’m just sitting there with a candy cigarette and I’m just gonna sit there for a period and see how people react.’” According to him, “The reaction was insane!” with people wondering: “What is he doing? Is he promoting something? But occasionally I just like to do weird things like that just to stir it up.”
SCOOP OF THE DAY: Brought to you by JaseCaseMedical.com
A so-called “meditation guru” is going viral for her sleep hack for when counting sheep just isn’t cutting it. In Emily Kessler’s TikTok video, she advises those who need to drift off NOW to try her “house tour sleep hack”. In the clip, which has over 2 million views, she outlines the plan, which begins with taking a few slow, deep breaths. Next, you start to visualize. Kessler instructs you to imagine a house you’re familiar with – but not your own. She often uses her grandmother’s house. Picture yourself “slowly walking up to the house, noticing all the details about the outside, going up to the door, opening the door, and walking in”, she says. From there, she recommends moving slowly from room to room, taking in as many details as you can about the furniture, the artwork, and the layout. She claims that doing so “distracts your…busy mind enough to let you fall asleep”, and she has “literally never made it upstairs” at her grandmother’s house.” For many commenters, the hack has worked wonders, and others suggest visualizing different places or activities they know well, like cooking a favorite recipe, grocery shopping, or recalling a movie, scene-by-scene.

A Japanese company wants to make an alcoholic beverage in space. Asahi Shuzo, the company behind the popular sake brand Dassai, plans to blast sake ingredients to the International Space Station. The idea is to ferment a brew that’s truly out of this world. The company is now developing space brewing equipment and is planning a launch date in late 2025. But even if everything goes according to plan, the price of a bottle will be astronomical — a single 100ml bottle would sell on Earth for US $653,000.
