THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!

Dear John,

The landlady in my apartment complex is a sweet 70- something woman who treats me like her son. She's always trying to set me up with a woman and always tells me about single women that move into the apartment complex. Last year, I told her to back off a bit and told her it's not a good idea to play matchmaker in the building because she could end up putting people in a bad situation. She said I was the only person she did it with but agreed. Until a few weeks ago when she said "You're getting a new neighbor and I'm not going to mention that she's very pretty and single." I blew it off until I saw the woman yesterday. She's amazing. She said hi and said, "Hey. You must be the single guy the landlady is trying to set me up with". I want to be annoyed that the landlady did this, but maybe this time she got it right. But here's the thing. This new girl lives next door to me. What if we click and start seeing each other and then it doesn't work out? There are too many things that could go wrong. What do I do? I think I need to move out, then start dating her.

Thank you,

Too Close For Comfort?

Got plans to see live music at all this weekend? Well, if you’re planning to bring along earplugs, you’d be in the minority. New research says that half of all concert and club goers experience ringing in their ears, but only one in 10 regularly wear earplugs at gigs, festivals and nightclubs. According to the World Health Organization, that means that one in two young people are at risk of noise-induced hearing loss – including tinnitus and deafness. The research also found that fewer than 50% of music fans even know what tinnitus is – an irreversible condition in which a person hears noises such as ringing, clicking or buzzing inside their ear. It is often caused by overexposure to loud noise.

Dad jokes” could be a sign of good parenting, according to an expert. Marc Hye-Knudsen, of Aarhus University’s Cognition and Behavior Laboratory, wrote in the British Psychological Society that dad jokes are important to help children learn to be embarrassed, and to toughen them up to learn that embarrassment isn’t necessarily a bad thing. He claims that, “By teasingly striking at their children’s egos and emotions without teetering over into bullying, fathers build their children’s resilience and train them to withstand minor attacks and bouts of negative emotion without getting worked up or acting out, teaching them impulse control and emotional regulation.”

Selena Gomez is expressing her gratitude after becoming the first woman on Instagram to surpass 400 million followers.

Taron Egerton doesn’t think he’s the “right choice” to play James Bond. The “Kingsman” star addressed rumors of him playing the next ‘007’ in an interview with The Telegraph, explaining why he feels he’s not the right person for the role. Quote: “You have to be consistently statuesque to be that guy…I’ve always struggled with my weight.” Although he went on to admit that being Bond might be “really fun”, he clarified: “It’s sort of irrelevant how I feel about it, anyway, because I can tell you there have been zero phone calls.”

Julianne Hough is joining “Dancing with the Stars” as a co-host and Alfonso Ribeiro has been upped to emcee of the franchise for its 32nd season. Hough will assume Ribeiro’s previous role on DWTS, which is to interview the dancers after their performances in the Sky Box. Tyra Banks announced it was “time” for her to step down as host last week. Pro dancer Hough is a two-time “DWTS” champion, and has expanded her career to become a recording artist and actress, starring in films such as “Safe Haven” and “Footloose”.

Bernthal joins Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio in the series, which begins shooting in New York this month. In a departure from other Marvel series, which come in at 6 or 9 episodes per season, Born Again is planned as an 18-episode epic.

Over the last 4 years, Liz Pinfield-Wells has recycled 2,600 pounds (1180kg) of waste that her city’s garbage collectors won’t pick up. The Dawley, England, resident started her own recycling center at home when she learned her baby’s food pouches could not be recycled by the city. Pinfield-Wells, who says that her family is always trying to reduce its carbon footprint, invited her neighbors to drop off their trash, and dozens have taken her up on her offer. She sorts everything into 30 categories of recyclable waste, and then sends everything to TerraCycle, where it is recycled into small pellets that are turned into items like benches. She donates the money she earns to local causes, including a community garden and her daughter’s gymnastics team.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com

Sports equipment giant Wilson recently unveiled a 3D-printed basketball prototype that does not need to be inflated and features a see-through lattice design. The Wilson Airless Prototype relies on the elasticity of its “research-grade” polymer material to produce the same bounce as traditional basketballs. With no need to inflate the ball to a certain pressure, it eliminates problems like puncture risks, and slow leaks through the valve. Although Wilson has kept the traditional binding pattern of the regular basketball, so players are still able to get their fingers into the seam lines for better grip, the prototype ball is see-through, with hundreds of small hexagonal holes allowing air to pass through.
