THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
I can’t believe I let my boyfriend move in with me. He was tossed out of his apartment two months ago. I thought it would be temporary until he got back on his feet and found another place. But now he’s acting like he owns the place, and he’s driving me crazy. He’s loving it and has even been looking up wedding dresses FOR ME and talking about our wedding. Seriously? We had never talked about marriage, and I have never expressed the slightest interest in this being a permanent relationship. In reality, I have zero interest in marrying him. And now, my mom called and said they are planning to visit in two weeks and want to stay with me. They don’t know this guy exists, let alone that he lives with me. They’re going to freak out. But here’s what makes it worse. My parents pay my rent. If they find out he’s moved in, they’ll pull the plug on that support because he should be paying his part. And he should. Then I’ll be out on the streets just like him because there’s no way I can afford this place on my own. I have to figure out how to get this guy out of here before my parents visit. If I do, I might lose him, which is fine. But I don’t want him to be homeless. I’m not a monster. But him being homeless is better than both of us being out of place to live. He has a job, so hopefully he can afford something on his own. I don’t know what to do here. What am I going to do?

SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Here are a few guidelines to help you put together an awesome holiday, according to a new survey. The poll of 2,000 travelers in the US found the “perfect” vacation lasts 11 days, takes place 3 hours from home, and costs $8,807 per person. People said the top destinations for a summer getaway are sunny beaches (63%), the great outdoors (53%), major cities (43%), historic locations (42%) and amusement parks (30%). Top priorities for a perfect vacation are: the food, relaxing, their hotel, and the local weather. The #1 factor that can derail an otherwise perfect vacation is running into unexpected costs (45%). That was closely followed by travel hiccups, local weather, and bad food.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Disney, Ryan Reynolds says he knows how to save your franchise. The “Deadpool & Wolverine” star, co-writer, and producer recently revealed he pitched the House of Mouse with a novel concept for a new “Star Wars project”. In a podcast appearance, Reynolds said he asked Disney about doing an R-rated Star Wars property. Quote: “It doesn’t have to be…A+ characters, there’s a wide range of characters you could use, and I don’t mean R-rated to be vulgar. R-rated is a Trojan horse for emotion. I always wonder why studios don’t want to just gamble on something like that.” And though he might seem like a natural fit to star in the Star Wars universe, Reynolds clarified: “I’m not saying I want to be in it…I would want to produce and write or be a part of behind the scenes.”
Mark Wahlberg and Amanda Seyfried are returning to the world of “Ted”. NBCUniversal has announced that they will be lending their voices to “Ted: The Animated Series” on Peacock. Wahlberg starred in the 2 Ted films as ‘John Bennett’, whose childhood stuffed bear ‘Ted’ is brought to life after a wish he made when he was younger. Seyfried starred in the 2015 sequel as lawyer ‘Sam Jackson’. They’ll be reprising their roles, alongside Seth MacFarlane, who voices the bear. Not much has been revealed about the new series, but it will be a continuation of the 2 films.
Dick Van Dyke has revealed that he and longtime friend, the late Ed Asner, were set to team up for a remake of classic comedy “The Odd Couple” prior to Asner’s death in 2021. During a Q&A at an event in Malibu, Van Dyke said: “That would’ve been such fun, and we lost it. I’ve lost a lot of friends.” His wife Arlene chimed in, adding: “He’s outlived everybody. That’s the curse of living to almost 100.” Despite this, she maintained that the “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” star is “still so positive”. Dick added later that he continues to perform and entertain because: “I’m a ham. I love it. I get a jolt of energy from an audience.”
DID YA KNOW!?
The world’s oldest dog lived to 29.5 years old. While the median age a dog reaches tends to be about 10-15 years, one Australian cattle dog, ‘Bluey’, survived to the ripe old age of 29.5. The world’s oldest cat lived to 38 years and three days old. Creme Puff was the oldest cat to ever live.

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
The workday can feel like a constant barrage of distractions—emails, meetings, messages—coming at you non-stop. And if that’s what it feels like to you, you’d be right. According to a recent report by Microsoft, workers are interrupted, on average, every 2 minutes. And that’s not even counting Spotify, YouTube, or WhatsApp. So, what can you do if these “added layers of noise”, as one expert put it, are constantly derailing your day? Here are some simple tips from those whose job it is to know: First, figure out when you’re most productive—maybe it’s 30 minutes mid-morning or right before lunch. Once you know your prime time, block it off on your calendar like it’s a can’t-miss meeting. No excuses. Another idea is to find your ideal work spot, whether that’s a quiet office, your cubicle with headphones, or even just a corner at home where everyone knows not to disturb you. And, yes, it’s important to note that focus doesn’t always happen at a desk. One expert says she swears by her daily 45-minute run, because her best ideas come when she’s away from her screen.
Scientists have officially brought genetic engineering to the spider’s web. For the first time, researchers have created a gene-edited spider that spins RED FLUORESCENT silk. Researchers at University of Bayreuth used a species of common house spider. The silk retained its natural properties of being lightweight, incredibly strong, and biodegradable. But the newly-produced web is red, and glows under certain light conditions. The researchers say the goal is to expand the functionality of spider silk, with hopes it could be engineered for new uses in medicine, materials science, or even wearable tech.

WEIRD NEWS
A new type of contact lens allows the user to see in the dark. Chinese scientists say their infrared contact lenses enable “super-vision” by converting infrared light into visible light, and the wearer can see objects in the dark – even with their eyes closed. Unlike night vision goggles, the state-of-the-art contact lenses don’t require a power source. They’re transparent, which means users can see both infrared and visible light simultaneously. The developers say infrared vision is enhanced when the user has their eyes closed. The senior author of the research notes that potential applications for the new invention include transmitting “information in security, rescue, encryption or anti-counterfeiting settings.”
