THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
My son has dated the same girl for over a year. At Christmas time he proposed. She said no. He was heart-broken over this. I just discovered that she kept the ring. Now I'm very upset about that. He said it was also her Christmas present. They didn't break up, but they are kind of taking a little break, whatever that means. I'd like to tell her that it is wrong for her to tell him no, then keep the engagement ring too. Am I wrong in thinking that?
Signed – Sad Momma

More than half of us are ‘stuck in a rut’ when it comes to mealtimes – eating just six different meals on a loop. A study of adults found 59 per cent tend to cook the same dishes and rotate them throughout the week. And 46 per cent even stick to the repetitive foods on specific days. The most common teatime treats include spaghetti Bolognese, fish and chips and curry. More than a quarter admitted they’d like to reshape their mealtime habits in 2021, but barriers include a lack of time (29 per cent), budget (23 per cent) and low cooking skills (22 per cent). On average, an evening meal takes 40 minutes to cook and 59 per cent said what they choose to eat is often dictated by how much time they have.
A new study says mosquitoes are more attracted to beer drinkers.

man told police that he wanted to warn the people of Casper that
aliens will arrive next year, and that they should leave as soon as
possible. He asked to speak to the president of the town, about 170

time travel because aliens filled his body with alcohol. He noted
that he was supposed to be transported to the year 2018, not this
year. (from 2017)

Earth is in the middle of its next “mass extinction event”, and it may be too late to undo the harm inflicted upon the planet’s species. That’s according to a new study by biologists from the University of Hawaii and the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris. While researchers say that conservation initiatives have been put in place which will protect certain species, the study suggests that the damage has already been done. According to a press release: “These initiatives cannot target all species, and they cannot reverse the overall trend of species extinction.” A mass extinction event involves the loss of at least 75% of species. While we haven’t yet seen such a high rate of extinction, there is potential for it to happen in the future, and the scientists argue it’s in the process of happening right now. -IFLScience, CTV

A Pennsylvania high school football team swapped weight training practice with snow shoveling for neighbors in need. Bethel Park High School football coach Brian DeLallo said about 40 athletes shoveled driveways last Monday after a storm hit the area. His tweet read: “Due to expected severe weather, Monday’s weightlifting workout has been canceled. Find an elderly or disabled neighbor and shovel their driveway. Don’t accept any money – that’s our Monday workout.” He said having the athletes shovel driveways also gave them a chance to interact with the community, which is a big supporter of high school sports.
