THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
I just had a baby...my first. It went well, I guess, but it was really hard. The problem is that I can't get over something that happened in the delivery room. And my husband is being a jerk for not backing me up. I was groaning... crying... okay, sometimes screaming in pain. That's normal, right? What would anyone expect? But after a couple of hours, the doctor says, "Can you calm down a bit?". Then he made a Shushing sound over and over. Really? Like has this guy ever been through anything like this? I'm the patient here pushing a watermelon out through my body. It hurts. It's two weeks later, and I'm still really upset. I don't want to take my baby back to the doc for a checkup. My husband says he was just trying to help me relax and was making calming sounds to help me deal with the pain. But that's not how I remember it. And who is my husband to tell me what to feel about having a baby? I'm right about this. We should not go back to the doctor and I want to write a letter to the hospital. That's not out of line. Right?
Signed
Mad Momma

Parrots
that have been taught to contact their feathered friends via Facetime
appear less isolated or lonely. That’s according to a recent study
at Northeastern University in Boston. The researchers said that
parrots are a highly social species, and when they live with humans,
they’re usually isolated from other birds, which can lead to
loneliness and boredom. In the study, parrots were taught the
association between ringing a bell and their owner bringing an iPad
with a selection of birds. Then, the parrot could choose which one
they’d like to call via video. The researchers noted that it was
important to allow the parrots to choose which of their “friends”
to call.

Gayle King and Charles Barkley are teaming up to host a new CNN prime show named after themselves. “King Charles” will air on Wednesdays starting this fall and will continue through 2024. King said in the announcement: “To me, live TV is like working without a net. So, whatever happens, happens.” Barkley added, “I want it to be nonpolitical… but we don’t want to say we’re a Liberal, Conservative, Republican, Democrat; that’s one of the things that’s already ruined television in general.” LINK: https://tinyurl.com/y86euucy

Toronto ON is the latest city to experience Karen’s Diner, a concept built on “great burgers and rude service”. Turning the tables on demanding and entitled “Karens” — the stereotypical customer who asks to speak to the manager and makes the most ridiculous requests — the pop-up is known for its rude staff, and guaranteed poor customer service that warrant negative reviews. With14 locations in Australia, the UK and US, this is the first Canadian experience that’s staffed with sassy locals who are keen to give you the finger or roast you in front of your date.
