THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
I live in an apartment complex. We each have our own parking space. There's an area for guests to park around the corner, but we each have a marked space near our own door. I've recently become the neighbor to hate because I finally had someone's car towed. I work hard all day, when I get home I've been stuck parking in the guest area and have to make three trips in with groceries and my work stuff. I've left notes on the cars over and over. I asked management, they told me to call a tow truck. I didn't want to do that, but I had to. I've asked my neighbors to let their friends know that there is parking around the corner. I've been ignored. Finally, Friday night, I called a tow truck. A few hours later I moved my car to my own parking spot. In the morning I had 4 flat tires. Thankfully, they just let the air out, so I could just pump them up with my little air pump, but I was late for work because I had to mess with that. Now my neighbors are treating me like I'm a bad guy. I'm not sure what I should have done. I tried to be the good guy. I really did. My lease is up in October, so I'm looking for other places to live, but until then, any advice?
Signed – Neighborhood Meany

SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
A new survey of 2,000 women reveals that what they most admire in other women isn’t looks…but qualities like grit, resilience, humor, and intelligence. Respondents to the poll, taken in the US, praised the women in their lives for being fun, generous, confident, true to themselves, and brave enough to speak their minds. Moms (51%), grandmothers (33%), friends (26%), and sisters (22%) topped the list of inspirations. Those close connections are often more influential than public figures like Michelle Obama, Rosa Parks, Kamala Harris, or Jane Goodall. Women also said they value being recognized as a good friend, smart, or funny over simply being thought of as attractive.

If you’re “thirty, flirty and thriving,” know all the moves to Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ dance or are just a big fan of ‘Razzles’, it’s major news for you that Netflix is rebooting the rom-com classic “13 Going on 30.” Original star Jennifer Garner, who played ‘Jenna Rink’, the awkward teenager magically transported into her 30-year-old life as a high-powered, but messy, magazine editor, is on board to executive produce the movie, which will star Emily Bader and Logan Lerman.
Taylor Frankie Paul says she’s no longer a part of the Mormon church, and is now on a quest to learn more about life, amid the criminal investigation against her. The controversial “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star wrote a message on Instagram, saying she’s “detaching” from the church even though she was born and raised a Mormon. Paul has been in the spotlight since TMZ published a 2023 video showing her getting into a violent altercation with her ex-husband, Dakota Mortensen, in front of their then 5-year-old daughter, who suffered a head injury, according to police.

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
For four generations, the Sartori family of Plymouth, Wis., has been making Asiago cheese in a tradition that dates to patriarch Paolo Sartori, who hailed from a town near Asiago, Italy. But, under pressure from Europe, many countries around the world are blocking American producers such as the Sartoris from using the Asiago name, saying it can be used only for cheese made the right way in Italy. The same goes for Parmesan and Romano cheese made by the Sartoris. To avoid generic descriptions such as “Italian-style hard cheese,” the company restricts where it sells its products outside the U.S. “Consumers should decide what cheese wins in the marketplace, not European lawyers,” says Paolo’s great-grandson, Bert Sartori. https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/feta-cheese-us-european-trade
The Masters will tee off without Tiger Woods. The golf legend said Tuesday he will be stepping away from the sport “for a period of time” to “seek treatment” after being involved in a rollover crash and arrested for driving under the influence. Woods pleaded not guilty to the charges and plans to recover at a facility outside the U.S.

WEIRD NEWS
I say, it’s about time that radio got some mainstream attention again. And that’s why I was so happy to see it reported over the weekend that after nearly 50 years, WKRP is coming to Cincinnati – this time as a real radio station. The CBS sitcom “WKRP in Cincinnati”, which aired from 1978-82, focused on a fictional radio station. And while the call letters have existed in Raleigh NC since 2015, the rights were sold in February, to a Cincinnati buyer. D.P. McIntire, who runs the nonprofit that purchased the letters via auction, confirmed the news, posting: “Book it! It’s done!” A lifelong fan of the classic TV show, McIntire hopes to operate WKRP as a real station, though legal restrictions prevent him from sharing further details.
QUESTION OF THE DAY
