THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!(COMMENTS ARE WELCOME)
Dear John,
I
spent the weekend with my family. We had a little family party and
there was a karaoke machine. My sister's daughter was singing all
afternoon. She was being praised by her parents for being such a
talented girl. Meanwhile the rest of the family was hoping she would
quit singing. I asked my sister if she really thought her daughter
was a good singer. She admited that she knew she was not. She's not
even remotely talented and I think her false encouragement from her
parents will actually backfire. We have always encouraged out kids to
do things they like to do. We even help them get the lessons needed
to be better at it. I told my sister she needs to be honest with her
daughter before she ends up being the butt of jokes from people. I
see these people on TV who have no talent, but someone told them they
were talented and now they are being made fun of. My sister thought
it was good parenting to tell her she's awesome... I think that's bad
parenting. What are your thoughts? Any advice?
Signed

WARNING---- SICK STORY!
A sick, twisted Washington man carrying methamphetamine is accused of sexually assaulting a beaver after the animal was struck by a vehicle. According to investigators, the animal was run over by a car in park in Kennewick, a city just north of the Oregon border. Upon seeing the animal get hit, a female witness wrapped the beaver in a towel and went to her residence to retrieve a container in which to place the injured animal. When the woman returned to the park, she discovered a man--whose pants were unzipped--atop the beaver. The witness called 9-1-1. Rennewick Police Department officers responding to the park then arrested 35-year-old Richard Martin Delp. Cops say Delp “admitted to the crime” and a search subsequent to Delp’s arrest turned up methamphetamine. Charged with animal cruelty and narcotics possession, Delp is being held without bail in the Benton County jail. It is unclear whether Delp, who has a lengthy rap sheet, was under the influence when he allegedly mounted the beaver. (https://goo.gl/tsZhe3)

WEIRD NEWS:
A
man accused of kicking a seagull that tried to eat his cheeseburger
at a New Hampshire beach has been fined $124. Police investigated the
report from a bystander at Hampton Beach earlier this summer. NH1
reports the man, Nate Rancloes, said he had just returned from
getting a cheeseburger and fries and was sitting on the sand. He said
seagulls got to the burger, and he spun around with his leg to shoo
one away, but struck the bird. He said it was a simple mistake.

MOMENT OF DUH:
A
Connecticut woman blew off several of her fingers after lighting a
stick of dynamite that she thought was a candle. The incident
reportedly happened late last week in Bridgeport. The woman was
trying to light a candle during a power outage in a thunderstorm.
Instead, she lit a quarter stick of dynamite. One of her children
called 9-1-1 and she was transported to the hospital with a serious
hand injury. Nobody else was injured in the accident, which is under
investigation. Police and fire crews on the scene found a second
device that they described as a “makeshift firework.”
