THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
I've been working on the same New Year resolution for about a decade. I'm trying to quit smoking. I usually do pretty good for a week. This year I made it a little over a week. Last year I made it a whole month. I know I can do it, but I keep getting back to it way too easily. I've been thinking about hypnosis. My brother did that and it worked for him. He lives in a different area so I'm going to need to find my own place for this, but I wonder if it will even work for me. I went to a hypnotist show at a Christmas party a few years ago and I didn't get hypnotized. The guy told me that it does not work on everyone. Not sure if this is the same thing or not. Any advice? Have you heard of other good ways to quit smoking besides hypnosis? I'd love some help.

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.
While we’ve been told “you are what you eat,” scientists in the UK (University of Sussex) say what you smell can also determine how you feel. Their study finds sniffing lemons can actually help people feel thinner. On the other hand, the scent of vanilla can make you feel thicker and heavier.

Two
people were arrested Sunday night after officers found a man holding
onto a car’s hood while the driver traveled at 80 miles per hour, a
report from the Knoxville Police Department said. Officers responded
to a domestic assault call early Sunday morning at the I-40 ramp at
Sutherland Avenue. Upon arrival, they found a gold sedan driving
while Dylan Bennett, 29, held on to the hood. A woman, identified as
Chamcelyn Whipple, was reportedly driving the car. The two told
officers that they were at Chatterbox on Alcoa Highway when they got
into an argument. Bennett told officers that Whipple was intoxicated
and he was trying to keep her from leaving, the report said. Whipple
told officers she was assaulted by Bennett, who was separated from
her. Officers reconstructed the route the two took and reported that
they must have travelled over nine miles, or a 16-minute drive. The
two were arrested, Bennett was charged with aggravated assault and
Whipple with reckless endangerment. https://www.wvlt.tv

America
accidentally dropped an atom bomb on South Carolina in 1958. In March
1958, a B-47 plane was headed to the United Kingdom and was armed
with an atomic bomb. This bomb was even bigger than the "Fat
Boy," the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki. During the flight,
the pilots noticed a fault light, so one of them decided to check it
out. In doing so, he accidentally released the emergency pin,
watching in horror as the bomb dropped to the ground. The good news
was, the critical part of the bomb needed to set it off was still on
the plane, so it never exploded.

A young man in India broke a Guinness World Record when he balanced a soccer ball on his knee for 6 minutes, 16.98 seconds. Hasan Askari, who attended Integral University in Lucknow, said long period of time existed between deciding to take on the record and his successful attempt. "I dedicated two years of my life to achieve this feat. I was browsing the Internet one day and found a world record, which I wanted to break. After days and months of consistent practice, I filled the application, got approval and registered in the Guinness Book of World Records," Askari told the Hindustan Times. He said his teachers at Lucknow's CMS Rajajipuram campus I, from which he graduated in 2020, encouraged his effort. "Seeing my interest in sports, my teachers always encouraged me. It is because of their support and guidance that I have been able to set a world record," he said. Askari said he received a certificate in the mail naming him as the official Guinness World Record holder for longest time to balance a soccer ball on the knee. https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/
WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
A man is facing multiple charges after breaking into a Knoxville Police Department officer’s home, putting on his uniform and stealing more than $1,600, according to an arrest report. Law enforcement officers were dispatched around 11:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 23, to a home in the 8000 block of Ewing Road because an unknown man was operating the officer’s police radio in the residence. A Knoxville Police spokesman said the man “keyed up” the radio, catching the attention of an alert dispatcher. The officer was not home and told dispatch that no one should be inside his residence. Deputies found Dewayne Miller, 51, of Ten Mile, fully dressed in the Knoxville Police officer’s uniform, tactical vest, gear and armed with a fully loaded pistol, the report said. The arrest report says Miller confessed to being dropped off at the home by an Uber driver, where he entered the police officer’s cruiser that was parked in the driveway. Miller said he took a garage door opener from inside the unit and used it to gain entry into the home. “Based off Miller’s statements and actions, it is likely that he would have continued to act as if he were a law enforcement officer upon leaving the property,” the report states. “All stolen items were recovered and accounted for.” Miller told officers he was an officer and he was, “preparing to leave and go out to work.” https://www.wate.com/news/
