THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
(COMMENTS ARE WELCOME)

Dear John,

I can't believe I'm even sending this because I have not told anyone how I feel right now, but my husband and I have been growing apart over the last few years. He's been a great father to our kids. He's even a fantastic grandpa. We just seem to have drifted apart. I have a friend who lost her husband to cancer last year. She and I have been spending more time together. She's the one who pointed out to me how controlling my husband can be. He wants me to be home at a certain time and won't let me go on weeknd trips with my friend. I've never noticed it before, mainly because I've never gone out before. I was a full-time mom and when our youngest moved out a few years ago I have moved into the role of grandma. I care for our grand children most days. I feel like I'm being pulled in two completely different directions. I'm not unhappy with my marriage. I just don't feel as happy as I have been in the past. What should I do?

Authorities say a Georgia man is accused of biting a 14-year-old girl's buttocks
while swimming underwater at Lake Lanier on the Fourth of July. Hall County Sheriff's Office spokesman Derreck Booth says the girl was playing in the lake near the beach area of Lake Lanier Islands when 30-year-old Jonathan William Herbert allegedly swam under the water and bit the girl. Authorities tell news outlets that the Dacula man was intoxicated at the time of the incident and has no ties to the victim or her family. The incident was reported by witnesses. Herbert was charged with public drunkenness, sexual battery against a child under the age of 16 and other offenses. It's unclear if he has a lawyer. - wrcbtv

A new survey finds the number one reason people take naps is — tah-dah! — we’re tired. OK, seriously, the number one reason we nap is because we were up late the night before… and we’re tired. The second most popular reason for taking naps is also quite obvious: we’re not feeling well.

Wanna lose weight? Break out the pencil and paper. Researchers say keeping a food diary — a detailed account of what you eat and drink and the calories it packs — is a powerful tool in helping people lose weight. Their study involving 1,685 middle-aged men and women over six months found those who kept such a diary just about every day lost about twice as much weight as those who did not.

A woman mystified by itchy, moving lumps on her face got a surprising and somewhat horrifying diagnosis: they were made by a worm. The 32-year-old woman likely caught the worm, a type of nematode, when she was bitten by mosquitoes in a rural area outside Moscow, her doctor said. She had first noted a nodule below her left eye. Five days later, it had moved to above her left eye, and 10 days after that to the upper lip,” Dr. Vladimir Kartashev of Rostov State Medical University in Russia wrote in a letter to the New England Journal of Medicine. She documented these changes by taking photographs of her face (i.e., ‘selfies’),” added Kartashev, who wrote in to describe the case along with parasitologist Fernando Simon of the University of Salamanca in Spain. The nodules occasionally caused a localized itching and burning sensation, but otherwise she had no symptoms.”http://www.wrcbtv.com/story/38490595/moving-lump-in-womans-face-was-a-worm-doctors-say

MOMENT OF DUH:By LearnWithoutLoans.com (Find Funding For College)
The soon-to-open Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City had to work quickly to fix a misspelling on a 30-foot-tall (9-meter-tall) guitar installed this week. The sign, modeled after a Gibson Les Paul guitar, was put up Thursday morning without officials noticing the word "rhythm" was misspelled on the rhythm and treble switch. It included the letter "E." The guitar is one of two expected to go up at the new resort, with the second slated for installation Saturday at the resort's entrance. Hard Rock officials say the typo was corrected Thursday afternoon by removing the extra vinyl letter. The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino will open at noon on June 28 the same day as the new Ocean Resort Casino.https://www.wate.com/entertainment/hard-rock-casino-installs-big-guitar-with-misspelled-word/1254983003?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter_6News
