THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
My wife is driving me crazy. Without talking to me, she accepted an offer from her job that allowed her to work from home. She can go to the office if she wants to, but she doesn’t want to. This is a problem. I work from home and I've been home-schooling our kids for several years, so I'm home all day already. Meanwhile, she’s taking advantage of the work-from-home permission and mostly hangs around, annoying us all day. I’m really not feeling this new arrangement, but I don’t know how to tell her without hurting her feelings. We have been married for 12 years and I love her, but we don’t need to spend this much time together! She is always on the phone and she talks loudly! I need to set some boundaries, right? How should I do this and what boundaries are fair without coming off like an insensitive jerk?
Signed,
Lover Her But!

SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH: Brought to you by JaseCaseMedical.com
I hate to be the first to say it, but we’re once again approaching tax time. And maybe it’s a good thing that so many of us pay someone to look after it for us, because according to a new survey, many people have a few – shall we say – misconceptions about a few tax-related matters. For instance, nearly one in 5 Gen Zers believe you can write ANYTHING off as a business expense. Wishful thinking? Perhaps – but also a dangerous misconception, should you ever get audited. The survey of 4,000 people in the US who plan to files taxes this year revealed a few more gems about how little some of us know about the process. Among them . . .
• 13% of Gen Z believes that students don’t need to file taxes.
• 20% of Gen Z believes that if you’re paid in cash, you don’t NEED to pay taxes.
• 27% of Baby Boomers believe that you don’t need to file taxes (and can’t get a refund) if you make less than the IRS income requirements.
And by the way, nearly a quarter of Gen Z and 28% of millennials said they have filed their own taxes without anyone’s help.

Uma Thurman has been tapped as a series regular opposite Michael C. Hall in the Paramount+ with Showtime original series “Dexter: Resurrection”. The Golden Globe-winning and Oscar and Emmy-nominated actress known for her work on “Pulp Fiction” and “Smash” is one of the biggest names to ever enter the Dexter universe. She’ll play ‘Charley’, the Head of Security for mysterious billionaire ‘Leon Prater.’ Production on Resurrection, a present-day follow-up to “Dexter: New Blood”, started in New York this month on the heels of the launch of prequel series “Dexter: Original Sin”, which became Showtime’s most streamed premiere in history.
“Sonic the Hedgehog 4” will be sprinting into theaters in the spring of 2027. The 4th installment in Paramount’s family-friendly franchise will be released on March 19, 2027. Paramount announced the fourquel in the Sega video game-inspired series even before the third Sonic adventure hit the big screen. It turned out to be a smart decision, given that “Sonic the Hedgehog 3,” which opened last month, is now Paramount’s highest-grossing entry ever, grossing over $420 million globally to date.

A
study finds that nearly 90% of workplace conversation is gossip.
In
what has been a particularly turbulent week in global affairs, coming
after a particularly turbulent year, the word “kindness” has been
chosen as Oxford Children’s Word of the Year for 2024. And in an
example of the eternal optimism of youth, the word was picked by
children. More than 6,000 kids aged 6-14 were asked to select the
word they think best summed up 2024 by the Oxford University Press
(OUP). According to teachers, the choice of ‘kindness’, selected
by 61% of them, reflects a growing awareness among young people of
the impact of mental health, and the contribution kindness can make
to mental wellbeing. Oxford defines kindness as “the quality or
state of being kind; kind nature of disposition, or the demonstration
of this in action or conduct.” But one child may have summed up the
word even better, saying: “We should treat everyone with kindness.
You never truly know how much it could help someone.”

An NHL goalie is blaming one of the shots that got past him in a tight game on a tray of cheesy nachos flew from the stands and onto the ice. Washington Capitals goaltender Logan Thompson said that the snack tray distracted him from stopping a shot during a narrow victory over the Edmonton Oilers. He made the admission when he met with reporters after Tuesday’s game in Edmonton. The Capitals still managed to win 3-2, likely leaving Thompson a little less “salty” about the occurrence. Thompson took part of the blame himself, saying, “Obviously, I have to play to the whistle”, but he had “never seen that before.”
