THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!

Dear John,

My sixteen year old nephew recently added me on Snap Chat. I talk with my kids on there all the time. It's fun! But when I sent the request to my nephew, I'm not sure if he even knew it was me. He accepted my request and sent some pretty graphic photos. I didn't even know what to say or do. I asked my son if he could tell me if it was even the right account. He said it was. I'm not sure if I should say something to my sister or not. I'd be pretty upset to find out that she knew something like this about my son and didn't tell me. But I also have no idea how to even bring this up. I feel so weird about the whole thing. I didn't need to see these photos of my nephew. I never replied to him. I have not shown anyone the photos and I feel weird even having them. I know this is a doozy of a letter, but why not squeeze in one last weird thing for 2020! Any advice? I'd love to know my safe way out of this one!

Signed – Aunt Who Saw Too Much

An Oklahoma man is behind bars for child neglect after allegedly giving his two-year-old daughter sips from a bottle of Smirnoff Ice. 27-year-old James Watts was arrested this week after the child’s mother contacted Oklahoma City cops to report that the toddler was given alcohol by her biological father. According to a probable cause affidavit, Brionca Peterson provided police with a Snapchat video showing Watts giving the girl “two sips of Smirnoff Ice wine cooler.” In the video, Watts “states in text ‘My baby gone be drunk.’” Describing the video, an investigator noted that Watts allowed the victim to “take a drink then he takes a sip and hands it back to her so she can have another sip of the alcoholic beverage.” Watts is being held in the Oklahoma County jail in lieu of $50,000 bond on the felony charge.

The Washington Post asked readers to describe 2020 in one word or phrase. Over 2,000 readers responded and the top three words that came up again and again were ‘exhausting’, ‘lost’ and ‘chaotic’. Other words that came up frequently: relentless; surreal; limbo; transformative; heartbreaking; stifling; dumpster fire; perseverance; ugh.

Many countries have traditions that they believe will bring good luck for the new year.

In Spain, when the clock strikes midnight, people eat 12 grapes. One grape for every stroke of the clock to represent each month in the year. Each grape is said to bring good luck in the new year.

In Switzerland, they believe that good luck comes from letting a drop of cream land on the floor on New Year’s Day.

In Belgium, farmers wish their animals a Happy New Year for blessings.

In Romania, the Romanians have a tradition of listening to hear if the farm animals talk on New Year’s Day. If the animals talk, it is considered bad luck.

Kids born in 2020 will hear a lot of things said about the year they were born, and Ally Bank wants to send them a message that there is great reason for optimism. The online bank is offering $250 in a savings account to all babies born on December 31, 2020. An average of 10,000 babies are born every day in the U.S, and this is Ally’s way of thanking the very last babies of the year for helping us end 2020 on a positive note.

He should’ve stuck with his reindeer. Santa Claus tried to parachute his sleigh into California for a practice run this weekend — just to get stuck in power lines. The hapless St. Nick was shown dangling upside down high above a Sacramento street early Sunday in an ultralight-type aircraft “sleigh,” with his red, white and blue parachute tangled in the lines. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, he was left hanging for at least an hour, with power cut to at least 200 homes before he could finally be rescued. Metro Fire of Sacramento shared video footage of the fully suited Santa — who was planning to give candy canes to neighborhood kids — finally being lowered to safety. “We are happy to report Santa is uninjured and will be ready for Christmas next week,” the department said — adding, “But perhaps with a new sleigh!” (https://bit.ly/37F7bb3)

A Wisconsin dentist is accused of damaging his patients' teeth so that he could bill insurance companies for crown procedures. 60-year-old Scott Charmoli was charged Tuesday in federal court with eight counts of health care fraud and two counts of false statements. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of twenty years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Charmoli is accused of falsely telling patients that they needed crowns and then using his drill to break off parts their teeth during the procedure. The indictment says that Charmoli submitted X-rays and photographs of the chipped teeth to insurance companies to obtain coverage for the crowns. Authorities say Charmoli performed more than $2 million worth of crown procedures between January 2018 and August 2019. An arraignment and plea hearing are scheduled for December 30th.

Two shoppers in Germany were hospitalized following a brawl involving the use of salami and Parmesan cheese as weapons. The incident began as a tug-of-war over an empty cart in the parking lot of a supermarket. Punches were thrown and when one of two men went into the store, the other followed and grabbed salami. That’s when the other man used a wedge of sharp Parmesan cheese as a knife to jab at the man.

So exactly when did we humans learn that no two snowflakes are alike? Wilson A. Bentley is the man generally credited with figuring it out. By adapting a microscope to a bellows camera, he became in 1885 the first person to photograph a single snow crystal. He went on to photograph some 5,000 snowflakes over more than 40 years and never found a perfect match between them. Ironically, Wilson Bentley died of pneumonia after walking home through a blizzard in 1931.

They say dogs are man’s best friend, and a new survey (YouGov) about pet ownership and how Americans feel about their pets suggests that might be true. Most (69%) Americans have at least one pet in their home, with dogs (45%), cats (35%), and fish (9%) being the most commonly owned pets among adults. And it seems these dogs, cats, fish, birds, and other animals are quite well-loved: 88% of American pet owners say they consider their pets to be members of their family.

According to a Harvard Medical School study, “men who drank the most coffee had a 60 percent lower risk of aggressive prostate cancer than men who did not drink any coffee.” Researchers (at Channing Laboratory) said the caffeine in coffee doesn’t pay a role in reducing the risk of prostate cancer. Instead, coffee’s “many biologically active compounds, like antioxidants and minerals” could be responsible.

Wanna feel less stressed-out? Get off social media. A study (Harrisburg University) of students found those who dumped social media service like Facebook felt 33 percent less stressed.

What’s important in a relationship? According to a new survey, “me time.” The survey revealed that 85 percent say getting time for yourself on a regular basis is the key to a healthy relationship. 82 percent report that getting the proper amount of ‘me-time’ actually makes their relationship stronger, with 58 percent saying they actively encourage their partners to spend time by themselves. According to the results, the ideal amount of me-time is 51 minutes per day — or about six hours per week. And having me-time was actually found to be more important to Americans than having date nights with their partner.

It’s history’s oldest excuse for missing homework for good reason. A pair of peckish pups in the Philippines were caught in the act: eating their human brother’s homework. In a clip captured by security cameras inside an Antipolo City home, Darren James Lamban and his cousin JB Barit were asleep when an apparently hungry husky crept into the dark room — where his pug pal was already waiting. The larger dog, named Sam, can be seen sniffing around the room before coming across a few sheets of paper on a desk, where a PlayStation controller was being used as a paperweight. It didn’t work. The dog handily dragged the documents down onto the ground and began tearing away. Soon, Sam and the smaller dog, Mayor, could be seen grappling with what turned out to be the teenagers’ homework. The schoolmates were reportedly confused to find their work shredded on the floor when they awoke on November 28th. It wasn’t until they viewed the footage that they realized the dogs had literally eaten their homework. (https://bit.ly/3ag2VAi)

Police in Germany pulled a man over for drunk driving. So he decided to pass himself off as someone else. Police say the driver’s details seemed to be correct when he told them who he was — until their records showed the man matching his description was registered as having a glass eye. A flashlight shone in face soon disproved this. His eye, of course, responded to stimulus. So then he said he used to have a glass eye, but didn’t any more.

It seems nobody misses sitting in the dark with a jumbo popcorn more than Wisconsinites. A new survey finds residents of the Badger State miss movie theaters more than any other state during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has shut down or sharply reduced capacity for theaters around the world. Tech site GoHastings.com, which specializes in compiling maps about trends in entertainment, streaming services and more, combed through Twitter, tracking tweets and keyword phrases such as “I miss movie theaters” and “I miss going to the movies” in more than 200,000 tweets. Using geotagged Twitter data, GoHastings.com then mapped where those phrases came up more often. No. 1 was Wisconsin, followed by Utah and Oregon. https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2020/12/09/PMJS/299a6813-f427-433d-84ea-a41098b969c1-miss_movie_theaters.jpg

A bizarre moment involving a camel walking into a Bath and Body Works store with its owner in Nevada was captured on video. The large animal can be seen plodding slowly through the entrance as it is led by its owner, who is wearing a cowboy hat. Customers and staff already in the store make way for the camel as it enters the building. “Ok, you all, for whatever reason there's a full actual camel at Bath and Body Works,” one woman said in a video posted on social media. The woman was shopping at a store next door at the time when she spotted the camel being led by its owner with a red leash. Despite the strange spectacle, the camel received little fanfare as the streets appeared quiet.

It had the makings of a dangerous situation involving an apparent knife attack on a woman. The father of the Wisconsin woman hurriedly reported to authorities in late November that she sent him a text saying she was being stabbed. The Winnebago County dispatch center contacted Menasha police, and eight officers were sent to the woman's apartment. “He indicated that his daughter was being stabbed, possibly by a live-in boyfriend. He provided an address to check on," said Menasha police officer Nick Oleszak. Officers were positioned outside the apartment, when — to everyone's surprise — the woman showed up. It turned out that she hadn't been stabbed after all. She wasn't feeling well and went to a clinic in Neenah to be tested for COVID-19. She sent a text to her dad to let him know she was being swabbed. But she sent it without noticing that autocorrect changed "swabbed" to “stabbed.” “She said she was fine and it was all a misunderstanding,” Oleszak said. (https://bit.ly/2WhTSXr)

Someone returned a stuffed hare on Tuesday that had been stolen from an Indiana restaurant last week. Surveillance video showed an unidentified customer at “The 1933 Lounge” picking up the taxidermized hare called “Theodore A. Hare” on Friday night. The animal, dressed in a fancy hat and carrying an old shotgun, serves as the restaurant’s mascot. The restaurant posted about the stolen hare on social media, and it offered a $500 gift card for its return. Bryn Jones, vice president of marketing and retail for the restaurant’s owner, Huse Culinary, told the Indianapolis Star that replacing the hare would have cost about $1,000. “No questions asked and no hard feelings,” the restaurant tweeted. “Our only hope is he is returned unharmed.” The hare turned up back at the restaurant on Tuesday night, when someone dropped him off in a trash bag with a note apologizing. “Sorry! This was a drunken mistake,” the note read. “He was well taken care of!” (https://fxn.ws/3m7G8sG)

A love-struck British Romeo who landed in hot water after riding a jet ski across the Irish Sea to visit his gal pal amid the coronavirus pandemic had less than ten minutes of fuel left — and doesn’t even know how to swim. 28-year-old Dale McLaughlan, who never rode a water scooter before, spent four-and-a-half hours on the craft in his madcap dash to visit his new girlfriend on the Isle of Man. The North Ayrshire man was jailed for four weeks on Monday after admitting to arriving there unlawfully. “The craziest thing is he can’t even swim,” a family source told the Daily Mail about McLaughlan, describing him as a “nice lad, but thick as a brick.” A police source also told the Isle of Man Newspapers that the man’s watercraft only had ten minutes of fuel left after the 25-mile journey, which he initially thought would only take forty minutes, when he encountered rough weather.

MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by TimeForRehab.com

A Tijuana man who smuggled more than 300 pounds of protected sea cucumbers into the United States was sentenced Monday to six months in custody by a federal judge in San Diego. According to court documents, 52-year-old John Jaimes Torres drove into the United States at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry last year with 101 undeclared packages of sea cucumbers concealed in the bed of his pickup truck. The cucumbers, which are protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, require a certificate of origin and import/export licenses from CITES and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for lawful importation, none of which Torres possessed. The value of the cucumbers exceeded $60,000. Torres, who was ordered to surrender to authorities by Feb. 12 to begin his sentence, was also ordered to pay $10,000 in restitution to the Mexican government as compensation for the loss of its natural resources.
