THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
My husband and I were high school sweethearts. Our class reunion is this summer. Apparently our class is dead broke. 10 years ago my husband and I went to the reunion. At the time, we were doing really well, so we ended up paying for some things that the class could not afford. I've been asked to do that again, but our situation has changed. My husband is a little too proud to admit that, so he thinks we should find a way to help again. I think we need to just let them know that we're not planning to even attend this one and we'd like to pass on this “opportunity” to give them a few thousand dollars. The lady in charge of the reunion is a bit of a gossip, so I'm sure the word will spread, but this is not our obligation. I have no fear of saying no. but I don't want to emasculate my husband. He thinks we need to “step up” and help the class. What do you think? Is there a way to do this without anyone feeling bad? Should we just pay the money and save face?
Signed
Classy Classmates

This may not come as much of a surprise to you, but nearly 3 in 5 workers believe the traditional system of working 9-5 on weekdays is outdated. A survey of 2,000 employed Americans shows that many agree that several accepted aspects of work, such as the hours (54%) and even the way employees are paid (41%), are in need of modernization. It was found that the Monday-Friday, 9-5 work week, which has been the standard for nearly a century, no longer suits the needs of 57% of respondents. And 67% believe that the usual pay period of once or twice a month is outdated. In fact, 64% of employees said they’d prefer to be paid weekly – and 19% wish they were paid daily, to better suit their financial needs.

Shortly before the 2024 Major League Baseball season got underway, the Miami Marlins released a list of the musical instruments allowed in the team’s ballpark, LoanDepot Park, this season. Fans are permitted to bring along tambourines, congas, trumpets, and some—but not all—types of cowbells. The team’s guidelines specify that the cowbell percussion instrument is OK, but “additional cowbell styles may be denied entry.”

Tim Allen’s “Home Improvement” co-star Patricia Richardson is calling him out after he hinted at a revival of the 90s sitcom. In November, Allen said that he’s still in contact with some of the show’s cast, and they are discussing a spinoff. But Richardson. who portrayed Allen’s wife ‘Jill Taylor’, said on a podcast: “He never asked me, and he never asked Jonathan [Taylor Thomas].” Richardson also said she “would not want to” do a Home Improvement reunion or revival if she were asked. And because star Zachery Ty Bryan faces a mess of legal troubles, and Taran Noah Smith hasn’t acted since the show ended in 1999, odds seem slim that a reunion is happening any time soon.
“Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” blew past box office expectations. After being projected for an opening weekend in the low $50 million range, the 5th film in the MonsterVerse saga is estimated to have made about $80 million domestically. That’s the second best opening in the history of the MonsterVerse, behind the $93 million earned by the series’ 2014 “Godzilla” reboot. “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” is projected to have earned a second weekend total of just $15 million.

Millions of people in North America will be able to see the rare solar eclipse happening next Monday…but the question is: Should they…without proper eye protection? The answer is no, says an expert. Dr. Philip Hooper, president of the Canadian Ophthalmological Society, reminds us that the intense brightness of the sun normally triggers pain that causes us to look away. But as the moon starts to block the sun during an eclipse, we probably won’t feel that pain, so it’s possible to look at it long enough to do damage to the eye. He compares the effect on the eye to using a magnifying glass to burn a piece of paper on a sunny day. Not something you want to mess with. Neither sunglasses, windows nor phone camera offer any eye protection, either. The good doctor, who is also an associate professor of ophthalmology at Western University in London ON, cautions that to safely watch the eclipse, you’ll need special certified glasses designed for eclipse watching. These have special filters, and they must also have side protection so light rays can’t enter. Free eclipse-viewing glasses are available at many libraries, city offices and schools. While wearing the glasses, you should not be able to see anything — unless you’re staring at the sun.

Voters in Texas might decide in the upcoming US presidential election to vote for “Literally Anybody Else”. A math teacher has legally changed his name to ‘Literally Anybody Else’ with the intention of running for president as an independent candidate. The 35-year-old, previously known as Dustin Ebey, had his name changed to emphasize his discontent with the current candidates, writing that Americans want something “different” and “better.” He also secured the LiterallyAnybodyElse.com domain name, and he has been selling T-shirts in a move which began as a joke — and now has become a serious campaign to get his name on the ballot.

While it’s true that these days, it’s hard to go anywhere without seeing hand sanitizer stations available, there are other, far more sinister sources of germs than doorknobs and handrails. In fact, scientists are warning of 7 common spots where bacteria are thriving. In fact, these areas, places you might never suspect are hotbeds for microbial life, are all germier than the average toilet seat, according to science…
1. Smartphones: When did you properly clean yours last? They are likely a key source of bacteria entering the body.
2. Kitchen sponges: One study even found that the average kitchen sponge carries more bacterial species than a lab Petri dish.
3. Water bottles: Reused water bottles can contain mold and bacteria, especially if they aren’t washed thoroughly.
4. Fountain soda water: The water lines from these things are usually teeming with bacteria, researchers say. That includes salmonella and E. coli.
5. Handbags: Consider all the bacteria-laden items that get stored inside the bags, none of which are routinely cleaned.
6. Self-checkout screens: They are touched by so many dirty fingers, they’re hot beds for bacteria. A British investigation found E. coli on nearly all the surfaces tested. In addition, fecal bacteria and microbes that can lead to urinary tract infections were found on self-service screens.
7. Pet toys: Of course. Pets handle them with their mouths, and who knows where their mouths have been? Plus, the toys come in contact with all sorts of surfaces around the home. Pet toys can be a source of coliform bacteria, yeast and mold.
