Show Notes for Thursday, August 20, 2020


THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!

Dear John,

I pay through my teeth for child support for my kids and it leaves me very thin at times. My oldest daughter stayed with me last week and we were instructed to not pick up school supplies. Fine, OK, no mention of a backpack needed. But now I’m being asked by my daughter's mom to pick out a backpack. Now, yeah it could be a special trip and take my daughter shopping let her pick her own out maybe $20-$40 for a nice one. But, am I wrong to tell her mom that she receives a hefty amount of child support a month from me and that’s what those funds are for. Should I just buy the backpack and not start an argument, or should I say something about this? Merely asking opinions, not looking to start a riot or anything.

Signed – BackpackDaddy

An intoxicated Florida man allegedly spat on a child’s face and told the boy “You now have Coronavirus.” The disturbing encounter took place last Sunday night at Ricky T’s restaurant in Treasure Island. 47-year-old Jason Copenhaver first told the boy to take his mask off at the eatery and asked if he could shake his hand. Copenhaver then grabbed the boy’s arm and put his face next to the child’s, telling the boy he now had the Coronavirus. The man later tried to hit an employee twice, but the worker grabbed Copenhaver and escorted him outside until cops arrive. Copenhaver was charged with simple battery and disorderly conduct. Police said he told them he didn’t know if he had Coronavirus and has never been tested. (https://bit.ly/2XO0GNz)
