THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!(COMMENTS ARE WELCOME)
Dear John,
My
son is 25 years old. He still lives at home with us. We told him we
would be OK with him coming home for a while to get caught up on his
debt. He has a job and he's been getting things caught up, but last
week he showed up with a new car. It's not brand bew, but it's way
more than he really needed at this point in his life. I'm upset that
he didn't talk to us before making this purchase since he lives in
our home for free. If he can afford the new car, he could have
afforded an apartment. His other car was workign fine, he was not in
an accident or anything. He just wanted a new car. My husband and I
have talked this over and we both think it's time for us to put a
deadline on his stay here. He has older and younger siblings that are
all on their own. I know we're getting heat from at least one of them
for letting him stay here for free. Should we innitiate a “rent
payment” for him to stay? Should we give him a 60 day notice? We
don't want to be heartless, but we feel like he's taking advantage
of us at this point. Any advice would be appreciated.
Signed
– MomAndDad

SCOOP OF THE DAY:
25-year-old Stephen Elmore pleaded guilty to felony arson this week after he
started a fire in retaliation to a prank. The incident took place in Colorado and
involved Elmore getting drunk, passing out, and having phallic symbols drawn
on his face. One of Elmore’s roommates admitted that when he passed out she
took a felt tip pen and drew penises on his face. Elmore discovered the drawings
and initially confronted one of the men present, though Elmore's female roommate
eventually told him she was the one who did it. Elmore then went downstairs to
his room next to the garage and eventually started a fire in that garage. The
roommates managed to put out the fire. Elmore must now undergo substance-
abuse and mental-health evaluations and remain free of alcohol and drugs
during a two-year probation sentence. (https://goo.gl/AqX2kC)

Kangaroos
may look incredibly sweet and cuddly, but they do come with a
warning.Greg Piper, a lawmaker in Australia, wants tourists who
travel to his country to stay away from the animals, especially after
many foreigners have been attacked by them. Piper recently opened up
parliamentary debate on the issue of kangaroo management at Morisset
Hospital. The hospital, a mental health facility and residential
facility for people with developmental disabilities, has become a
popular tourist destination because of the large number of kangaroos
that live on the hospital grounds. The property's kangaroos are not
monitored by the National Parks and Wildlife Service, and the
hospital says it is not equipped to support the tourists. A number of
incidents have been reported in which tourists have been attacked,
causing injury. In most cases, the visitors had been kicked or
scratched by the long claws of a kangaroo. One man required 17
stitches to his face after being attacked. “I
do not want to stop people from seeing kangaroos, but the situation
has to be better managed. The kangaroos have become so desensitized
to human contact that they will freely approach human visitors to
obtain food, which leads to many of the kangaroos becoming
aggressive,” Piper said. To keep visitors safe, Piper is suggesting
that more signage be added to the hospital’s grounds, warning
tourists not to feed the kangaroos. He also wants the National Parks
and Wildlife Service to assist the hospital staff with the animals.

A
Wisconsin thief was caught on surveillance video yawning and
struggling to stay awake while stealing a shopping cart of Red Bull
worth approximately $250. The unidentified man was captured on
surveillance video rolling boxes of the energy drink out of a grocery
store. The police department quipped, “Stealing can be
exhausting…..Which is probably why this guy can’t stop yawning
and why he has nearly $250 worth of stolen Red Bull in his cart!”
Details about where the crime happened and which direction the
suspect fled were not released. Police urged anyone who recognized
the person to call the station immediately. (https://goo.gl/UwSRfQ)
