THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
I’ve been fighting with my wife for the last two days over something that happened Sunday night. I stopped at the store to pick up a few items for dinner. I was in the checkout line, and I looked over and noticed there was a self-checkout with nobody in line. So I went over and used it. That’s when the problem happened. I scanned everything. I thought. I paid with my credit card, and an alarm sounded when I was leaving the store. I didn’t think anything of it and went to my car, got in, and left. When I got home and looked at the receipt, I thought it was much less than it should have been. It turns out I forgot to scan the meat- $26.53. Or, I scanned it, but the scanner didn’t work. I was freaking out a little. I wanted to go back to the store to make it right, but my wife told me not to worry about it. I am worried! What if the next time I walk into the grocery store, they slap some handcuffs? Posters on the doors with my picture with the words Meat Thief! My wife said it was an honest mistake, not my fault, and we spent so much money at that store that it was no big deal. But I can’t help it. I should fix it, but it’s been two days. That would be embarrassing. Should I ignore this and hope it goes away? Shop at a different store? What should I do?
Signed – Accidental Meat Thief

SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
New research shows that Yoga, Tai Chi, walking, and even jogging can help people with insomnia improve their sleep quality. A team at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine found that yoga boosted total sleep time by an average of 110 minutes per night, outperforming other exercise types. Tai Chi practitioners gained about 52 minutes of sleep per night; while walking and jogging was found to most effectively reduce insomnia severity, helping people feel better during the day. The scientists say that exercise can be a low-cost, accessible alternative to sleeping pills and therapy, but more research is needed.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Tom Cruise was one of the many celebs who attended Oasis‘ sold-out concerts at London’s Wembley Stadium. It was a big deal, given the history between the actor and the band. The Gallagher brothers roasted Cruise during a scene in the 2007 rock documentary “Lord Don’t Slow Me Down.” The movie followed Oasis on a world tour, and featured Noel saying on camera: “He’s a little (bleep!), and he’s not been in one good film in his entire career.” Liam adds: “I hate Tom Cruise.” Cruise reportedly confronted Liam Gallagher years later, and reminded him that he also said in the documentary that “Cocktail” was a good movie. The two appeared to shake hands before parting ways.
Anne Rice’s “Interview with the Vampire” is getting a new name and some new cast members as it enters its third season. The AMC drama will be known as “The Vampire Lestat” for season 3 as it focuses on the second book in her Vampire Chronicles series. In season 3, ‘Vampire Lestat’ sets his story straight in a way only he can — by starting a band and going on tour. No official debut date yet, but we know it’ll happen sometime next year.
A new sitcom featuring Southern comedian Leanne Morgan with Chuck Lorre as co-creator. Premieres July 31, 2025, and follows her family’s life with trademark humor.
DID YA KNOW!?
Mount Everest isn't the tallest mountain on Earth. Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa in Hawaii, the twin volcanoes, are taller than Mount Everest due to 4.2km of their heights being submerged underwater. The twin volcanoes measure a staggering 10.2km in total, compared to Everest’s paltry 8.8km.

Nearly half of adults have trouble reading their own handwriting, according to new research. A survey of 2,000 adults in the US found that not only do 45% of people struggle to figure out their own scribblings, but their poor penmanship has led, on average, to 2 instances of miscommunication with work colleagues. And despite the fact that so many have trouble reading their own work, many of us still prefer handwritten material. 86% said they write notes to themselves as their main method of organization, most often in the form of “lists”. The most-misread items were grocery lists, greeting or holiday cards, and thank-you notes.

WEIRD NEWS
Most towns in the US launch fireworks to celebrate the 4th of July. But instead, one small community in Alaska launches cars off the side of a cliff during their Independence Day celebrations. Why? The sun goes down in Glacier View, Alaska, around 11:30 p.m. on the 4th of July. Due to the late sunset, people there can’t enjoy fireworks until the early hours of the following morning. So, since 2005, locals have painted beat-up vehicles in stars, stripes, and bald eagles, then set them loose down a ramp while cheering crowds watch them soar, flip, and crash. Tickets cost $30, and fans show up as early as 8am — because nothing says freedom like a flying Ford. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/yzxwy3wz

THE LIST
(INFAMOUS) LAST WORDS:
What would be your dying wish? These are some odd last requests from well-known people…
Harry Houdini: The famous escape artist instructed to be buried in the “trick” coffin he used in his magic act — with letters from his mother tucked beneath his head.
William Shakespeare: Wanted his oldest daughter, Susanna, to inherit his favorite bed. He left his wife his “second best bed.”
Eleanor Roosevelt: Fearful of being buried alive, the former first lady requested that her major veins be slashed to eliminate the possibility of regaining consciousness before her cremation.
President Andrew Johnson: The 17th US president asked to be wrapped in an American flag with a copy of the U.S. Constitution placed beneath his head.
P. T. Barnum: Wanted to keep the Barnum name, which was synonyms with circuses, from dying with him, so he left his grandson, Clinton Seeley, $25,000—on the condition that he change his middle name to Barnum. He did.
Janis Joplin: Asked friends to have a farewell party for her at her favorite pub, the Lion’s Share, in California—and left $2,500 in her will to finance it.
Albert Einstein: No one knows what his last wishes were. Why? On his deathbed, he said something in German to his nurse — but she didn’t speak German.
