THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
My neighbor is driving me crazy. We have a new guy who moved in a few months ago. We had not really met until a week ago. He came over to my house and scolded me for some of my things that blew into his yard. I was taken back by that, but I apologized that it happened and picked up the decorations that blew over there. Since then he has been picking up branches and little bits of trash that blew into his yard from anywhere, and he's dropping it in my driveway. I don't understand why he's doing this! I want to be a good neighbor, but this has to stop. I was going to go over to his house yesterday, but my wife stopped me. I'm not sure what his issue is with me, but I have him on my security camera dropping garbage in my driveway. I wanted to call the police, but again, my wife's level-headed thinking prevailed. She said that it would most likely ramp up the problem more that anything. Any advice on what I might be able to do to have a better relationship with this new neighbor? I'm thinking maybe we need a nice big fence!
Signed – fed up neighbor

The
Texas Rangers knew they were adding one of MLB’s most feared
hitters when they signed Corey Seager to a $325 million contract. And
it seems the LA Angels agree. With the bases loaded and one out in
the 4th inning on Friday, the Angels chose to protect a 4-2 lead by
intentionally walking the Rangers’ star shortstop. WITH THE BASES
LOADED. How rare is an intentional walk with the bases loaded? It’s
happened exactly 3 times since 1950. Questionable decision or not, it
worked out for the Angels, who went on to win 9-6.

Johnny Depp’s latest lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard kicked off with a blunt accusation on Tuesday. Depp’s lawyers claimed Heard completely fabricated her accusations of domestic violence in order to advance her own career. Depp is suing Heard for defamation, claiming that her 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post damaged his reputation. As the trial got underway, Depp’s lawyers suggested that Heard had good reason to falsify these claims – to portray herself as a victim and earn some sympathetic publicity at Depp’s expense. Heard never filed a criminal complaint against Depp, although she did have a restraining order against him for most of their divorce proceedings. Heard’s attorney argued that his client’s abuse allegations are true.
Keke Palmer will be in charge of the “Password” podium. The star of Jordan Peele’s upcoming movie “Nope” has signed on to host the reboot of the classic gameshow for NBC. Palmer, who also starred in series such as “Scream Queens” and “Berlin Station” as well as the movie “Hustlers”, will host the show, which comes from “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon. It comes nearly a year after the network greenlit the reboot of the 1960s game show, which Fallon has made a part of his late-night show.
SCOOP OF THE DAY: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com
Food technology company Primeval Foods plans to launch an entire menagerie of exotic meats that didn’t actually come from animals, including lion burgers, tiger nuggets or giraffe ham. As food companies continue to come up with ingenious ways of capitalizing on the growing meat-alternatives market, the London-based startup has announced plans to sell exotic meats cultivated in a laboratory. No animals are hurt in the process of growing lion, tiger, or even elephant meats in a laboratory, as they are actually grown from cultured cells.
Some recordings made over 120 years ago will soon be playable for the first time. The New York public library has undertaken a project to digitize sounds recorded in wax cylinders — one of the first ways people recorded sound on phonographs. In the 1890s, people would slide blank cylinders onto Edison phonographs, and create recordings of themselves and their environments. The wax cylinders that recorded sounds cracked easily and were too fragile to listen to — until the library got hold of the Endpoint Cylinder and Dictabelt Machine, which uses a combination of a laser and needle, enabling it to digitize even broken or cracked wax cylinders. It will likely take the library a few years to digitize all the cylinders, some of which have never been heard. The plan is to eventually let listeners across the country (probably the world) hear what people were recording over 120 years ago.

A Denver woman who rented her home through Vrbo is living out her nightmare. The host, who asked that her name and face not be revealed, was renting her place on Vrbo for the very first time. Her listing photos advertised a pristine, modern home, and a group of guests soon booked it for eight nights. But only one day into their stay, she received 56 notifications from her Ring camera, which captured the guests breaking a number of rules in her non-smoking house. Taking Vrbo’s advice, the host said she gave the guests four hours to pack up and get out. After receiving a notification, they checked out. But she walked in and heard people still in her home, and she saw some things she will never forget. “I go in and I was shaking by what I saw,” the host said. “I was thinking they’re just smoking cigarettes, and there’s dog poop. I walk in, and they’ve rearranged my living room to have this elaborate computer setup with scanners and fake IDs everywhere. There’s plates of cocaine, there’s different kinds of pipes to smoke things, blue circle pills everywhere.” Police showed up a few hours later. They took one of the men into custody, after learning he had a warrant out for his arrest. He also had a gun. The others were allowed to leave, the woman said. https://www.wate.com/news/vrbo-nightmare-host-finds-fentanyl-feces-fake-ids-in-home/

USELESS THINGS WE LEARNED AT SCHOOL:
(According to an “AskReddit” thread…)
✗ “History. It was just a collection of dates, names, and numbers. Memorize this stuff, we’ll have a test. The significance was never taught or discussed.” (Sounds like someone is “doomed to repeat it”!)
✗ “Double spacing after punctuation. I can’t unlearn the habit.”
✗ “How to dissect a pig or frog & all the body parts!”
✗ “That you shouldn’t defend yourself. I busted a kid’s lip for hitting and trying to choke me and got sent straight to the office.”
✗ “Memorizing the specific names for groups of animals (gander of geese, murder of crows, etc.).”
✗ “Phys ed. They never taught us how to train or improve our athletic abilities. It was just weeks of half heartedly playing basketball…then one day we had to run a mile and the coaches would humiliate anyone who couldn’t just get up and run a mile under 10 minutes with no training.
✗ “Women’s literature. I didn’t learn anything I didn’t already know. And it was taught by a man.”
✗ “D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) taught me about drugs I didn’t know existed.”
✗
“Algebra,
never understood it and have never used it!”

When it was time to choose her daughter’s godparents, Kitana Garrett knew just who to ask: the first responders who saved her baby’s life. On Oct. 5, at just 25 weeks pregnant, Garrett went into labor while alone at her home in Columbia TN. She called 911, and Cody Hill, a firefighter, and paramedic Jamie Roan soon arrived. Baby Za’myla Camilla Miracle Garrett spent 4 months in ICU, and doctors say the quick actions of Hill and Roan are what saved her life. The first responders kept track of Za’myla’s progress, and in March, they were surprised to be asked if they’d be her godparents. Quote from Mom Kitana: “They didn’t give up, so I feel like they will continue to do that later on in life [for Za’Myla].”
