THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
I've been married to my husband for ten years. We were both married before as well. He has adult children and I do as well. I just found out that my husband has been sending his daughter money every month for the last five years. We have never talked about this. I only found out because she called and asked me if he was going to stop by so she could pay her rent. I was a little confused. She said he has paid her rent for half a decade. Meanwhile she is working a part time job and partying most of the time. My kids all have jobs and pay their own way. His son also has a job and pays his own way, at least I think he does, who knows! I'm so upset about this. I feel like he has been lying to me for all this time. I knew he helped her a little, but I thought it was paying for gas so she could come visit and things like that. I had no idea that he was paying for her rent and more. My son needed some help during COVID shutdowns and he helped him do some paperwork to get assistance elsewhere. I was happy that he helped him at the time, but now it looks like a slap in the face compared to his daughter's handouts. How do I deal with this? Do you think it's wrong for me to be upset? What else is he keeping from me? What do you think would be the correct response to this whole thing?
Signed – Mad Wife

A study of 1,000 dog owners and 1,000 cat owners found that we spend an average of $276.40 on our furry pals each month, which adds up to $3,316.80 annually. When people splurge on their pets, they tend to go all out. In the poll, owners said they had bought trendy items for their pets, such as all-natural pet food (38%), raw pet food (31%), a modified home like a “catio” (29%), pet-friendly baked goods and desserts (28%), and pet tech like a smart collar (25%).

Oktoberfest,
the world’s largest beer festival, kicked off Saturday, Sept 17th
in Munich, Germany, for the first time since 2019, before the
pandemic. Thousands sporting “Lederhosen”, or leather trousers —
a mainstay of Bavarian culture — flocked to the event that attracts
around 6 million visitors each year. Revelers sit at long communal
tables to swig beer, eat sausages, pretzel or pork knuckle, and
listen to oompah bands. Oktoberfest, taking place Sept. 17-Oct. 3, is
happening without any COVID-19 restrictions.

Kate Winslet was reportedly rushed to hospital after suffering a leg injury on set in Croatia. She’s currently filming in the village of Kupari and required medical attention after reportedly slipping on the set of new biopic “Lee”, according to Croatian press. The “Titanic” star, playing the title role of Vogue photographer Elizabeth “Lee” Miller in the upcoming HBO movie – is said to have been taken to a nearby hospital following a 15-minute journey in a black van and arrived at the medical facility wearing black clothes and a face mask. Fortunately, her injuries couldn’t be too severe, as a rep said she’ll be carrying on with shooting “as planned” this week, with the trip to hospital having been described as a measure of “precaution.”
The next “Yellowstone” prequel series, “1923”, has brought in another major star. Robert Patrick, best known for his roles in “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” and “Sons of Anarchy”, will star as a sheriff in the Paramount+ show. 1923 already stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren. Patrick was cast as ‘Sheriff William McDowell’, a friend of the Dutton family. The new series focuses on the Dutton generation that survived the difficult first decades of the 20th Century, through the end of World War I and the beginning of prohibition. Production is underway in Montana, and the show will launch in December.
“M*A*S*H” celebrated its 50th anniversary on Saturday. Two of the show’s surviving stars, Alan Alda and Mike Farrell, reunited to celebrate the occasion. Alda who is 86, starred in all 256 episodes as ‘Capt. Benjamin Franklin “Hawkeye” Pierce’. 83-year-old Farrell joined in Season 4 as ‘Capt. B.J. Hunnicutt’. Alda tweeted: “Mike Farrell and I today toasting the 50th anniversary of the show that changed our lives – and our brilliant pals who made it what it was. MASH was a great gift to us.” The two stars clinked wine glasses and smiled for the camera. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/yeyvmzut

Although he’s just been named Britain’s ruling monarch, Charles III has been living like a king his whole life. King Charles was reportedly nicknamed the “pampered prince” by his staff at Clarence House, where he lived with his wife Queen Consort Camilla from 2003 until taking the throne. Details of his lavish requests were revealed in the 2015 Amazon Prime documentary “Serving the Royals: Inside the Firm.” Paul Burrell, who served as butler, revealed the precise directions staff are given to care for him. Among them: His pajamas are pressed every morning, his shoelaces are pressed flat with an iron, the bathtub must be filled “only half-full” with tepid water and the plug has to be in a certain position. The king even “has his valets squeeze one inch of toothpaste onto his toothbrush every morning.” King Charles also is said to send a van of his possessions to his friends’ country houses ahead of his arrival to unload his “bed, furniture and even pictures” …and reportedly even brings his own toilet seat and Kleenex Velvet toilet paper wherever he goes.

By turning discarded chip bags into blankets, a 12-year-old girl in Wales is helping both people in need and the environment. In the last year, Alyssa has collected almost 10,000 chip bags to make 200 blankets. She says it takes about an hour to finish a blanket. How? “Each packet has to be opened out so it’s flat and then washed…Then you take 4 of them, put them under a piece of baking paper, and iron them together…Finally, you sandwich the … packets between 2 sheets of clear plastic, and you use the iron again to seal that in place.” Chip bags aren’t easy to recycle, so Alyssa is happy to have found another use for them while helping others. She and her mom give the blankets — along with gloves, socks, toothpaste, and other essentials — to local organizations that distribute them to the homeless. Alyssa says of the waterproof blankets: “When you put the blanket around your body, the heat reflects back off the silver part of the packet.”
