THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
I'm a high school teacher. My daughter just started dating a boy who I'm not a fan of. He was my student a few years ago. He was always in trouble and getting others in trouble. He treated the girls in our class terribly. My daughter said he's a great guy now and wants me to give him a chance. It's been difficult to say the least. I don't know how to help my daughter avoid being hurt by this boy. I know it is possible that he's changed somehow, but I think he's really good at convincing people to do what he wants. I'm afraid that my daughter is going to become a victim. I hope I'm wrong. What should I do to help? I'm afraid that my disapproval is almost making her want to hang out with him even more. Any ideas?
Signed – Concerned Momma

A new survey finds that nearly half of Americans feel nervous to go out in the real world without masks or the face-softening filters made popular on social media and video conferencing platforms. 48% of respondents have taken steps to “rethink” how they look in virtual meetings, including washing their face more frequently and wearing heavier makeup than usual.

While
using the laser sight on a friend’s 9mm handgun to play with a cat,
a Wisconsin woman accidentally shot the weapon’s owner in the leg.
As detailed in a criminal complaint, 19-year-old Jashanti Pleasant
was inside a friend’s Kenosha apartment when she removed the
handgun from a nightstand drawer. The gun had been placed there by
21-year-old James Daniels. Investigators say that Pleasant, who had
been drinking brandy, picked up the Smith & Wesson gun and
“turned on the laser sight and was pointing it at the floor to get
a cat to chase it.” While playing with the firearm, Pleasant
discharged the weapon, striking Daniels in the right thigh. Daniels,
who was standing in a doorway when hit, stood “in shock for a
second and then he asked Ms. Pleasant if she had shot him,”
according to the witness quoted in the complaint. The bullet traveled
through Daniels’s leg and struck the stove. During police
questioning, Daniels reportedly admitted bringing the gun to the
residence, but claimed he had removed the magazine. Pleasant told
cops that she thought the 9mm’s magazine had been removed before
the gun “accidentally went off.” Pleasant was arrested for
causing injury by the negligent use of a weapon. Daniels, who is also
facing a felony gun charge, has been free on bond in a pending
criminal case that bars him from possessing a weapon.

Tweets aren’t always sweet — sometimes they’re just “pointless babble.” Actually, they are 40% of the time, based on a study of 2,000 random tweets over two weeks. The researcher deemed 811 tweets as babble, compared to 751 (38%) as conversational, 174 (8%) as moderately interesting and 117 (6%) as self promotional.

You can change your life for the better in one minute. This is according to Gretchen Rubin, author an co-host of the Happier podcast. Here’s Rubin’s tip: Anything you can do in less than a minute, do without delay. Some examples of tasks you can do in less than a minute: put that dish in the dishwasher; return the document back to the folder where it came from; stick your coat in the closet when you come in from outside. Rubin said a lot of people have told her the one minute rule has massively transformed their surroundings.
Got a bigger project you’ve been putting off? Try the 15 minute rule:
• Step 1: Pick one task or activity that you’ve been procrastinating on
• Step 2: Set a timer for 15 minutes
• Step 3: Work for 15 minutes on this task until the timer rings

A Los Angeles Dodgers ball girl might have made the play of the game when she tackled a fan who had run onto the field mid ballgame. The Dodgers were winning convincingly 6-1 against crosstown rivals The Angels, when a streaker stormed onto the field, leading security on a wild chase across the diamond and outfield, out-juking some staff to wild cheers from the fans. But not so fast... As the fan approached the foul line, a ball girl tackled him, forcing him to flip over the wall, prompting a huge “OHHH!” from the crowd. But then video shows the fan– trailed by a swarm of security close behind — run into foul territory in right field, where he was presumably trying to make his escape over the wall and back into the stands. The video shows that he was immediately apprehended. Sports fans on social media loved the play, likening the take down to a football tackle and suggesting a team sign her up. “This #Dodgers ball girl is not the hero we deserve, but the hero we need,” tweeted LA sport journalist Michael Duarte. “Ball girl sent him over the wall like this was arena football,” said Brian Floyd.

Police
in Broward County arrested a martial arts instructor after receiving
reports of hidden cameras placed in the restroom of his academy.
According to Pembroke Pines police, 64-year-old Robert Franco was
arrested on Friday. Investigators said a 17-year-old female student
of Franco’s noticed two hidden cameras inside of picture frames on
a shelf in the bathroom of his business, “Master Franco’s
Taekwondo Academy.” The incident in question took place on July
29th at approximately 3:40 p.m. The student took pictures of the
hidden cameras and then confronted Franco, who police said
immediately destroyed the frames and cameras. According to police,
the student called her father and told him what happened, and he
quickly came to the academy and called 9-1-1. Authorities arrived and
began their investigation. Several days later, an arrest warrant was
issued for Franco. He surrendered himself to the Broward County Jail
on Friday. Authorities believe the cameras had been in the restroom
since March of this year, which is when Franco took over the academy.
Franco is facing multiple charges of video voyeurism.
