THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!

Dear John,

My husband and I have been working hard to make ends meet. We're both working extra hours to get ahead. I've sold some things and now he thinks he has to sell something, but I want to come up with a better plan. He still has the very first car he ever owned. It's not in the greatest shape now, but he and his father restored it together when my husband was in high school. His father has been gone for several years now. My husband has refused to paint it or do too much to it because he doesn't want to change what he did with his dad. Last night he told me he was going to get it all cleaned up and list it for sale. I really don't want him to do that. His dream was to give the car to our son when he was old enough. They were even going to work on it together like he did with his dad. I'm touched that he would do this for our family, but how can I convince him not to do this? I'm sure we will get by fine without this sacrifice. Any ideas on how I can show him that we can avoid this?

Signed – Grateful Wife

SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com

You may want to sit down for this, but a study proved the impossible: children eat more vegetables when they’re sweetened with sugar. The researchers (University of Connecticut) think this is just fine if sugar is used as a tool to get the kids eating vegetables in the first place. Once that’s achieved, sugar can be left out of the meal.

A study in China found people who lived to 100 got 10 hours of sleep a day for much of their life.

A drunk man at Kid Rock’s bar and restaurant in Tennessee allegedly took off his colostomy bag and struck two officers with his feces. 39-year-old Nicholas Adam Newhart was blocking an emergency exit door in an indoor area of Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk & Rock ‘N Roll Steakhouse in Nashville Saturday when the crappy situation unfolded. Security staffers told Newhart to leave, but he refused, prompting them to track down cops for help. Newhart then allegedly took out his colostomy bag from inside his pants and began to swing it around wildly, hitting two officers with his excrement. Cops said Newhart was so intoxicated at the time that he couldn’t stand steadily on his own, had bloodshot eyes, and a strong smell of alcohol emanating from his body. He was arrested and later charged with two misdemeanor counts of assault of an officer-offensive contact, as well as public intoxication and disorderly conduct. He remained in custody Wednesday on $4,500 bond. (https://bit.ly/3vOdVwx)

Your soap-and-water sessions might do more than just scrub away dirt and bacteria. Research (University of Michigan) suggests that hand washing can actually wash away worries about day-to-day decisions.

A 27-year-old woman posted a list of the things she won’t give up to save money. And since nothing on her list is needed for survival, she caught some grief. But the truth is we all have things we won’t give up just to save money. Maybe it’s the daily Dunkin’ Donuts coffee at the drive-thru, or a hobby like golf, or something a bit more expensive like the dough you keep pumping into that ‘classic’ car in the garage. Some of what she wouldn’t give up:

Quality shoes.

My toothpaste. I’m a Tom’s of Maine addict.

Lots of fresh, clean water. That’s bottled water.

One man has saved more than 200 people from suicide. It's a sad fact the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco is a site where many suicides take place. However, one California Highway Patrol officer has done more to combat this problem than any other individual. Officer Kevin Briggs, who battles depression himself, has personally talked more than 200 people down from the proverbial ledge throughout his career. After retiring in 2013, Briggs wrote a book called Guardian of the Golden Gate and now goes on speaking tours to encourage public discussion of suicide and mental illness.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com

Police called to a Nova Scotia restaurant on a report of a COVID-19 lockdown violation discovered the alleged illegal customer seated at a table was actually a mannequin. Mike Cormier, the owner of the Ardmore Tea Room in Halifax, said police visited his eatery Thursday morning after someone called to report someone was dining indoors at the facility in violation of shut-down orders. “The officer got out and was looking in the window, and I saw her looking at the mannequin,” Cormier told Global News. He said he went out and spoke to the officer, who confirmed a caller had apparently mistaken the mannequin seated at a table for a human customer. Halifax Regional Police spokesman John MacLeod confirmed officers were called to the restaurant Thursday morning on a report of “individuals not following public health directives.” “Officers attended and found there were no issues or violations at that time,” MacLeod said. Cormier posted a photo to the restaurant's Instagram page showing the mannequin with the police cars in the background. (https://bit.ly/3gW2WwU)
