Dear roads paved in black,
Why couldn't you have been paved in a nice tan color? On my lunchtime ride today (90F actual temp/99F real feel temp) I could feel the waves of heat that you were belching at me...over and over again.
Sincerely,
I'm hot!!!!!
Dear doctor's office staff,
While I appreciate your "sweet voice" on the phone this morning when I called, it doesn't help me if you won't give me an appointment. All I need is a strep test...any lab tec could do it...then a little shot of penicillin if I do indeed have strep. Since my oldest daughter had strep last week, and since my youngest daughter played with our tooth brushes and switched them (I'm sorry momma, I didn't mean too), I'm willing to bet that I do have strep. And seeing how I am a 41 year old mother of 3 children, I do know what strep feels like and looks like.
Referring me to the urgent care clinic in the next town does not help me. It will take several hours and most likely at least $200.00 to take care of this down there. And since I just drove by your office and there are 3 cars in the entire lot, I'm willing to bet you did have time to see me, you just don't want to hang around on a Friday to do it. And thanks in many ways to you, my vacation is getting off to a lousy start.
Regards,
Beth-who hates getting the brush off-Ro :mad:
Dear XH's attorney,
You turned out to be more reasonable than I expected, given that the original waiver of service you sent me (with a 7 day deadline to be signed, notarized and returned to your office) had me waiving my right to enter testimony :eek: . (And that whited-out part at the top of the suit that read "And Original Petition for Fraud." What was that all about?) You seem quite aware of the extraordinary nature of MIL's involvement in her 46 year old son's life. I can only assume you talked some sense into him. Or you were at least were able to overcome the false assumptions of the Texas Family Code he had been fed by *someone* :cool: .
Thanks to the efforts of you and my attorney, we were able to avoid having an actual hearing. We reached compromise, which is probably one of the first times for X, not having had a family model of same. Of course, this was only a Temporary Orders hearing, and we have a long way to go yet, but I am grateful that getting to this point was not as contentious as it could have been. I am looking forward to the peace of living without him breathing down my neck, trying to dictate how I parent my child. He has sought help. I only hope he will do the work it takes to make the help actually work.
Yours Until Final Orders Time,
fixedgeargirl
great news, fixedgeargirl;
proof again to not make generalities about pickuptruck drivers or attorneys or whatever!
dear lungs,
Life is to short to live it waiting for the next shoe to drop. Therefore, I encourage you to act right and not make me sick next week. I am only doing 22 miles just for you.
Thankfully yours,
the rest of body
Dear a*sh**e who stole my iPod:
Koorogi was my companion. It had music from all the many stages of my life on it, and countless memories. On that iPod, I could tell you so many landmarks in my life- the song that was playing when I touched my husband the first time, the song that was playing when I was thrown off my bike into a tree (and it never skipped!) My first Pink Floyd. My first techno cd. The graduation song from my high school. The songs that played as my husband and I talked all night long... the night we decided to part ways. The song that played as I danced behind my girlfriend and thought about how I could tell her how beautiful I thought she was- without coming off like a dork. ...the songs that helped me through the dark times I had after moving away from everything I knew, and the songs that brought me back to life like a phoenix.
I know you'll only get about $75 for it at a local pawn shop, and you'll probably use the money to pay for your meth habit, which is punishment enough because your teeth are probably rotten from it, and you're desperate for your addiction, but was it really worth breaking into our cars at 4am down some dusty little gravel road?
Mr thief, I want you to know that even though I'm not a christian, I forgive you... but the next time you come to our house, if my partner sees you again and I can make it downstairs before you get to your car, I will have a baseball bat waiting for you, and lemme tell ya, I can book it.
However, thank you for not having the time to steal my bike. The iPod I miss, but I would have been devastated at the loss of my bike. It was the first time I had it unlocked in six months, because I took her for a quick ride that morning, only 6 miles through the hills, cleaned her chains and set her next to my partner's bentup little steed... and after you ran off, I saw her leaned up next to the carport's wall.
You're a dirty man, with a lousy life, but don't steal my sh*t to make up for it or prolong your addiction.:mad:
Dear Bubba,
You are such a sweetheart. You take my flights of fancy and verbal vagueness in stride and translate it into a functional working object. I now have a lovely board in the back of the Bike Bus that allows me to carry 2 bikes inside when I'd prefer not to use an outside rack. It even has feet to wedge it in place and recessed bolts.
Must be why I call you Mr. Wonderful.;)
SK
PS - Dear Mr and Mrs. Bob - thanks for the fork mounts. :D

Even down to the pink? :o
You should see the bottom of the board. He recessed everything so no bolts will damage anything and there are feet to wedge it into place. He translates SK-babble very well.
Dear makers of Nyquil,
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
It's a gorgeous weekend and my friend was coming down to join me on the Leap Frog ride, and to go kayaking, and cook out but I woke up sick on Friday and had to cancel the whole thing. So between drifting from the numerous naps on the couch and checking what the healthy TE folks are doing I sit and reflect how you well you let me sleep. As if the daytime sleeping weren't enough, with your help I can sleep all night cough-free. My fever is way down today and I'm still congested and have no voice but I felt so much better today than yesterday that I did ride my bike over to the bike shop today to get the tires replaced. (De-laminating with only 800 miles on them???) Went next door and picked up the Sunday papers, and then rode home. The ride was all of about 3/4 of a mile RT and I'm exhausted from the effort. So I'll just have another swig of your elixir and go back to bed and let the magic continue.
Please don't ever change your formula!
Dear Daddy
I wish you were alive and healthy today so I could wish you a happy father's day!
Love
your daughter
