THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,

I have a bit of a weird question. I have an investment broker that has been our trusted broker for several years. In the past we have always gotten along. When he sent me a friend request on facebook I accepted. Now that I have, I almost wish I hadn't. He and I disagree on almost everything. I don't post much on facebook about anything political, but it seems like that's one of his favorite topics. He and I completely disagree, but I have never said anything to him. Sadly, about two months ago he said something to me about a post a mutual friend posted and I “liked” on their page. He sent me a direct message about it and was quite rude. Now it seems like he is almost trying to prove to me how bad my political choices are by pushing me into bad investments. I want to move our accounts elsewhere, but my wife thinks I'm overreacting. She says I need to just “grow up” and quit thinking about it. What do you think? Should I move on? Should I listen to my wife and just leave it alone?

Signed – IntrovertedInvestor

Being a professional football fan in Ohio is stressful. That’s apparently why a petition was submitted to the State Medical Board requesting that being a fan of the Cleveland Browns or Cincinnati Bengals be considered as a qualifying condition for medical marijuana prescriptions. Being a Browns or Bengals fan was one of 28 “conditions” submitted to the State Medical Board during the 2019 petition window. The State Medical Board’s Medical Marijuana Committee must now decide which of the 28 petitions should be considered as qualifying conditions for medical marijuana use. A committee meeting is scheduled for Feb. 12th. According to State Medical Board Director of Communications Tessie Pollock, the committee will examine subject matter reviews conducted by physicians and medical marijuana experts before recommending the petitions to the full State Medical Board for a final vote, which is anticipated to take place in the summer.

A Silence of the Lambs TV series is in the works for CBS. The series will be set one year after the events of The Silence of the Lambs in 1993, as she returns to the FBI field “to pursue serial murderers and sexual predators while navigating the high stakes political world of Washington, D.C.”

1917, a front-runner for multiple Oscars collected roughly $37 million in North America over the weekend, considered to be a nice chunk of box office change for an R-rated period film with no marquee stars.

SCOOP OF THE DAY: Brought to you by FunkyMonkeyShirts.com
A wallet lost by an Ohio sheriff during a hike 12 years ago was found and returned by a pair of siblings who went wandering in the woods. The Butler County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post that the siblings, ages 7 and 9, had gone into the woods in their neighborhood for a half-hour. The kids, Brooke and Drew, came home with a wallet that contained Sheriff Richard K. Jones’ old badge, ID and other documents. Jones said he lost the wallet during a hike in the same area about 12-15 years earlier.


A guy named Seth has shared a 2019 wrap-up video. The video is 365 seconds long — a second for each day of the year, which also happens to be the year he got married.

FUN FACT FOR YOU:

The first computer was invented in the 1940s. These days, supercomputers are everywhere—and they really don't need much space at all. Have an Xbox One posted up in your living room? That's a supercomputer. A laptop-tablet hybrid in your bag? That's a supercomputer, too. (Don't even get us started on the thing in your pocket…) But when supercomputers first came around, they needed much, much more space. Just take a look at the world's first one: The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC).

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
Drivers on Highway 92 were distracted by a hacked road sign Wednesday night. A road sign on a Whitley County construction site was changed to read "SEND NUDES." Tevon Stephens tells WYMT he was driving home to Pine Knot when he noticed the "obviously hacked" sign. Sister station WKYT talked to officials with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, who said the sign belonged to a contractor and was password-protected. The sign's message is now back to normal. https://www.wvlt.tv/content/news/Send-Nudes-Hacked-road-sign-baffles-Whitley-County-drivers-566848911.html


MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by SingleStudentLoan.com

Police in North Carolina say they've arrested a man who they say had been walking through people's yards without any pants on. WRAL reported Thursday that Carlos Antonio Soto was arrested in Johnston County, which is outside of Raleigh. He was charged with indecent exposure. It's unclear if he has a lawyer. Police said social media helped them identify Soto. Clayton Police Chief Blair Myhand said the he appreciated the community's help “in bringing this disturbing case to close.” Clayton police said the prowler was seen “walking directly across driveways near front doors.” https://www.wvlt.tv/content/news/Police-Prowler-who-sometimes-wore-no-pants-has-been-caught-566877301.html
FAKE NEWS.... OR FLORIDA?!
I read a headline and Heidi (and you) need to guess if the story is FAKE NEWS or something that really happened in the state of FLORIDA.
