THIS
WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear
John,
I'm
hoping to be the first letter of 2020. You get some pretty weird
letters, so I decided this question was not nearly as weird as some
I've heard lately. I recently turned 55. I'm a grandmother and I try
to stay in touch with my kids and grandkids with facebook. Sometime
in the last year I opened an instagram account to stay in touch with
my grand daughter who left facebook. Not sure if you're familiar with
instagram, but it is very photo based. My husband recently used my
phone to take a photo of something and he saw a bunch of photos of me
that I took for instagram. He thinks I'm ridiculious for taking so
many selfies and his nickname for me this last eek is instagrandma.
He asked me to quit using that and said if I want to communicate with
our granddaughter I should call her. He doesn't get it. She and I
send silly photos back and forth all the time. That is the way she
likes to communicate. How do I explain this to him.
Signed
– InstaGrandma

A
Tennessee man was arrested for allegedly riding a horse while drunk.
Hamilton County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested John Arnold after
receiving several reports of an “intoxicated person on a horse.”
A deputy allegedly saw Arnold riding the horse down the middle of a
dark road and then falling off the horse. Arnold was arrested and
charged with public intoxication. The horse was not hurt and was
returned home safely. Arnold appeared in court and was ordered to
serve three days in jail for putting himself, the horse, and drivers
in danger. Arnold had a criminal history dating back to 1986 in
Hamilton County for charges which included public intoxication and
driving under the influence.

Two
minors were injured when an SUV crashed through a Tennessee coffee
shop and landed fully inside the restaurant where students were
gathering after school. The vehicle plunged through the doors of
Crave Coffee Bar and Bistro in Arlington, shattering glass and
sending patrons scrambling for cover just after 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
The Shelby County Sheriff's Office said on Twitter that two minors
were taken to a children's hospital in noncritical condition.
Investigators said they think the driver suffered a medical
emergency. The driver was also taken to a hospital in noncritical
condition. A representative for the shop declined to comment.

altogether – called Alpine Strawberries.

MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by SingleStudentLoan.com
Three
patients have filed a class-action lawsuit against dentist Clarence
"Buzz" Nabers for possibly exposing patients to diseases
through improper sanitation and reuse of dental equipment. Patient
Robyn Conrad explains how she believes Nabers' practice was doing far
from the right thing in regard to cleanliness and basic health
precautions. "Being pregnant about to deliver a child and now I
have to think about these illnesses that I never thought I would
question not only that but I have to think about if I infected my
husband or my daughter that's here it's just insane," said
Conrad. Conrad explains she is already in contact with her doctor to
undergo testing for HIV and Hepatitis. In a statement to wvlt, Nabers
says letters aren't legally required, instead, he's choosing to send
them because safety is his priority. "It's just crazy to me that
he's still able to even be in the community at all it's crazy that
I'm even getting texts from this office letting me schedule they need
to be shut down he needs jail time for sure," said Conrad. The
new lawsuit was filed by Gerald Witt on Thursday, Dec 19, with two
other patients. The suit seeks $50 million in damages from Nabers,
his practice and Tresa Nabers.
