Dear Oakleaf-
I'm sorry your team lost but at least the neighbor Texas fans won't have to commit hari kari, which considering all the hype the game has gotten, would have been the only option for a large maority of the population here in Texas.

Dear Owlie:
I like reading your complaints:) They remind me of a different place in my life - and that's a good thing!
Dear sister:
Please stop telling me how much your "long distance" relationship sucks. He lives 30 minutes of highway driving away. So you don't get to see each other...except every weekend, when you stay at his apartment. (Funnily enough, I live 5 minutes (surface streets) from him. You don't come say high to me. Just as well, because you'd probably want to go to the mall.) FYI, my SO is 2,000 miles away, and we don't know that we'll get to see each other in person again until one of us graduates.

Dear paper for lab management class:
I hate you. I can't do 'abstract' stuff, and I'm not good with people. This will be an interesting quarter.
Dear local company,
Please stop dragging your feet and decide if you want to make DH an offer. For one thing, you won't regret it. And for another, there really is another company on the other side of the country that is ready to deal. Thirdly, I really really really really really don't want to move again.
Just please try not to think about it too long. Pretty please?
Limbo is its own kind of hell.
Dear Honey,
Thanks so much for putting up with me these 22 years. Happy anniversary, I love you.
Me
Congrats, Pax and Pax honey! Your posts about your honey always make me tear up a bit; they're so sweet.
@Catrin. I'm so glad that money came through! Yay!!
@NbyNW. My fingers are crossed. I hope your husband gets an offer soon.
Hurray for Mimi getting Don out for 7 miles and donuts. Make him eat more pie.
Catrin, glad you got some compensation for the dog bite.
Owlie, you sister seems a little self-absorbed.
Happy Anniversary PAX and Mrs Pax!
That is great news, Mimi. I hope DH enjoyed the donuts.
Congrats on the $, Catrin.
Dear Katybug,
I hate watching you go through this pain, I know you will grow stronger from it but still, breaking up a long term relationship is never easy. May all the stars align today and you find permanent housing before school starts tomorrow. Love your Mom
How did I not see this? YAY!Quote:

Dear Owlie:
My sister literally lives 3 blocks from my guy - both are on the other side of the country. It's perfect for me because I can just walk back and forth to see both when I'm out there, but I really wish the two of them would make some mutual friends. It would really make my life easier! :p
Dear back:
I'm tired of this. I don't know what I did to aggravate you, but this is ridiculous. When I'm done with my book, I'm going to want to do stuff again so you have about 100 pages to learn to behave.
Happy Anniversary Pax and Honey! :)
Mimi - somehow I missed your Tour de Doughnuts with your DH, congratulations! This is so good to read :)
Jessmarimba's back, please listen to her and feel better!
OMG. Finally got all of the Christmas stuff packed up and put away. Someone please tell me, how does a fake Christmas tree drop so many needles? :confused:
Dear Dear So and So Threaders,
I love this thread. Keep it coming!
Thanks everyone!! Just got home from a relaxing lunch, we shared a bottle of wine and some fantastic food. Now we're home and settling in, next up... a bottle of Moet & Chandon. YUM!
I must be the luckiest woman alive. :)
Happy anniversary Pax and Pax-honey! Enjoy the rest of your day. :)
I thought to myself, "Well, there's always next year. Just like there has been for the last 23." And then I realized that Owlie's too young to remember the Bengals having made it past the wildcard game. :eek::p:mad:Quote:

LOL! Yes...When I was a kid, my dad told me that they made it to the Superbowl one year. I didn't believe him. :o:DQuote:

Dear postal services, HOW is it that you managed to deliver my bike stand to me minus ALL the bolts required for assembly and with one part of the cardboard tube looking like a T Rex used it for a chew toy under perfectly intact plastic? Did you somehow imagine I wouldn't miss the bolts in an unassembled piece of furniture if you wrapped it in plastic? Absolutely mind boggling. At least you spared me the whole "We can't leave a delivery notice at your house because you might not have a mail box" thing this time... Owlie, I swear your postal service and mine need to be friends.
Dear self, it's time to take a proper weekend break this week. Working from home through 2 weeks of annual leave and through two weekends without a break can actually kill. Oh and delegate some of the darn work, you have a teaching partner for a reason.
Didn't really want to start a thread on this so I'm putting it here. My wonderful father passed away at the age of 93 on Friday night. He lived in Tucson - 4 hours away and I was planning on travelling down on Saturday morning to see him, but he passed on Friday night.
I am very sad, but very glad that he only had about one week of not really being well enough to get up out of bed and communicate very well. He passed in his sleep and he is blessed that he did not have to suffer very long.
He was a loving and caring Dad and when I was a kid, he was always the one who supported me in all my sporting endeavors. I will miss you, Dad.
((((Spokewrench)))). My sincerest condolences to you and your family. I hope you find comfort in the warm memories you have of him.Quote:

(((Spokewrench))) My condolences and sympathies for you and your family. It is so hard to lose a parent, but am glad to hear that you have such warm and loving memories of him.
Condolences, Spokewrench.
I am sorry you lost your father, Spokewrench. Sounds like he had a good long life. That should give you lots of good memories.
Spokewench--I re-emphasize what Mimi said. Very sorry for your loss.
Dear New Jacket,
I LOVE YOU! I know I told DH that I would return you to the store if he wanted me too, being you were so expensive and all. But that was a total lie. I was prepared to do whatever it was going to take to keep you. And letting DH think he had a say in the decision was my ingenious way of not only sealing the deal guilt-free, but making DH feel good about it too. Mwha-hahahahahaha!
You are a warm and silky, heavenly wrap. I'm looking forward to many cold-weather ventures together. You'll keep my rear warm around the campfire during the brisk fall evenings. And when the bitter bone-chill sets in after a late-season mountain bike ride, you will wrap me up like a swaddling blanket.
During the winter, when I urban-hike up and down the Magnificent mile,
when I snowshoe across the face of Mars,
when spectating the Jingle Bell parade from a frozen brick of concrete--you will be my marshmallow-topped cocoa.
My afternoon pot of coffee.
My extra-thick smartwool socks.
My Dove chocolate.
Excuse me if I must steal moments to caress your soft bulk and nuzzle my face in your silky folds.
~Limewave
Dear Limewave's new jacket,
Forgive me if you sound too good to be true, so please provide a link to your heavenly silkyness so the rest of us may bask in your glory.
Signed,
Jacket/coat 'ho
(((((((Spokewench)))))))
Words cannot express how luxurious this coat feels. I don't think the picture does it justice. It is somehow classy and sporty at the same time. I feel like I could wear it on date-night or around the campfire. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. It is the nicest coat I have ever owned.
I'm a coat 'ho too. :)
Dear Limewave
Thanks for the link! Fortunately here in Seattle, we don't need anything that warm. :D
I picked it up at TJ Maxx for much, much, much cheaper. But still expensive when you have a budget of $0 :rolleyes:
That looks awesome!! I own so many coats it's ridiculous... always looking for perfection.Quote:
