Oh, gross. My skin is crawling.
Dear So and So,
I hate being so frickin sensative when I'm involved with someone...I'd rather drop it and disappear. Which never helps when trying to be in a relationship. So much trouble and it blows. I'd rather be less involved and not care... :mad: at least right now...bleh.
Dear World,
Hang in there!
Dear So and So,
I am done carrying around 190+lbs of baggage. The last three weeks of back and forth. You made a decision. There is no coming back (again). I cannot take this drama into my new year. Last night I went on a date. It was refreshing. I am not looking to jump into a relationship. Just out to meet people and take back my life. Things are falling into place for me. Work is going great. School is going well. I am loving riding without you.
Good Luck.
Dear Nov 4th..
Can you please come sooner? I'm getting a bit tired of the coverage & just want a result. Did you not know how much this means to the rest of the world? We're watching & wondering.
GAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH...*explodes into litte bicycle wheels*
CC - I believe you're referring to the little election thing in the USofA? Many of us feel the same. OK, I for one feel the same. Pleeeaaase may the week fly by quickly. If I vote early, will it all stop?Quote:

Dear folks around me:
Please get a sense of humor. Having to walk on egg shells because you might get offended at the least little thing isn't fun.
Thanks!

Nevermind---I'll keep my big mouth shut about annoyingly repetitive tv ads!
Dear Quitting Time-
Hurry up! :p
Dear so and so,
can you please help folks to remember that TE is supposed to be a politics free zone, I don't care how annoyed people are about TV ads relating to the election or any other election related idea?
Sowwwy....:(:o
I think for CC and others not from the USA, it's not politics.
Mimi-Thank you! I am just annoyed that we have had to put up with coverage for what seems like forever.
Dear irresponsible dog owners,
My husband has severe nerve damage in his left leg. He only has a partially functional foot and is going to weekly gait physical therapy soon to be wearing braces on his feet and legs. He has enough problems with his leg and feet, so when your yappy little dogs charged him from your yard this afternoon and nipped his leg, he was lucky they didn't break the skin. :mad::mad::mad: Luckily they appeared to have gotten the seam of his blue jeans but he can feel where your loose dog had ahold of his leg. He said he tried to get away and thought of trying to hit them with his cane too late. We're all very lucky he didn't fall trying to get away from your out of control animals. They would have bitten him multiple times. I don't care if it's a mini pin or not, they are still biters. Keep them in your house or leashed in your yard if they are outside.
If I catch them out, I will call animal control and if they come after either of us when I'm out, I WILL use my cane. I am an animal lover, but I hate when animals are let out without being on a leash. This is the second time he's been bitten by a dog while out walking in the past 4 years :mad: He got lucky when that dog got ahold of his heavy winter glove or else he might have been bitten badly. You're lucky I was watching my grandchildren when I found out about it or else I would have come down and dealt with the dogs then call animal control myself right then.:mad::mad::mad::mad:
Dear Mary
Water from a hose works great on dogs. Doesn't hurt anyone and makes a BIG impression on the dogs. I've trained neighbor's pitbulls that way :D:D:D
Say go home. then blast 'em.
Mimi,
He was out for a walk and down the street from our house. He'd walked down to the end of the street and they weren't there, then when he was walking back towards our house, they ran out of the neighbour's yard and chased him. After the last dog incident and his gait had gotten worse again, I'd asked him to stay closer to home when he went for a walk so most of the time, he walks up and down the street in front of our house.
Dear S&S-
Please don't feel that you have to repay me in any way.
It was only a minor inconvenience and you know I'd do the same for you or anyone else who needed it.
Doing a favor and expecting some form of payment isn't a favor at all. It all works out eventually.
Maybe you can come help me paint ;)
Mary-
lord knows I'm a dog lover too but as someone who also has gait difficulties I think he should carry Halt.
it might seem mean but it would probably only take one time for them to remember.
Dear Professors-
I know that I signed up for this and even paid for this experience but please, no more papers this semester. I have written a 14 pg, a 11 pg, and six 4 pg. papers. I'd like to experience something else. It's called sanity.
Thanks.
Dear Fly,
You should have majored in art. You draw pictures for your thesis. :p
Mary,
You need to call animal control. Do you want there to be a second chance for him to get bitten?
I had a big, fat dalmatian come bounding out at me yesterday afternoon. Quite surprised as it's on my commute route. I had never seen him before. But he stopped. I think he realized I was a person.
Dear Twenty-something Know-it-All:
I'm older than you, wiser than you, and stronger than you. Take your primadonna attitude and stick it where the sun don't shine. Hmph! :cool:
Now you tell me - that's like rubbing salt in a wound. You make money AND you drew for you thesis. Smack. :DQuote:

Dear Excitement,
When we ask for excitement at work, what you dealt out today was rather interesting :eek: Thankfully we're all ok *phew* :eek:
Umm..sheep kapoopies might be a good word....
No more excitement for a while ok!!!
Don't forget the thirty-something-or-other know-it-alls! They're everywhere too! :(Quote:

Hey Pax, do you do stretches before you fall into bed? has helped me immensely for years
Mimi
They stuck a needle full of cortisone in my spine last week, the doc said no stretching until I see her next week. :(Quote:

As should the fact that you took black paint and tried to cover over major scraping on the crank and the rear derailleur. I pity the people who have to deal with you as a shop on a regular basis. At least I used paypal and a credit card - so I have lots of options against you.

PS - Nope - this is NOT anyone that has ever sold anything on TE!
Hey! We're not all know-it-alls! I promise! (some of us are actually quarter-life-crisis-how-am-i-going-to-get-a-job-and-start-a-life-of-my-owns :))Quote:

When you get to be "Of a certain age", and you've spent all that time being a team player and following the rules, and some little one comes along and makes a profession of breaking as many as possible, and gets away with it..well...it doesn't foster a great relationship.
That's true of any age.... I work with someone who's a good 15 years older than me, and has burned every professional bridge that they've ever built.... Personality seems to be a much bigger factor than age. Unfortunately, there are folks here, management and not, who are intimidated by this behavior, and it goes unchecked.Quote:

Dear neighbour with the puppy,
yes, I know your itsy bitsy teeny weeny ball-of-fur Pomeranian puppy is cute. But letting him stand and yap at me without correction as I stand in my own driveway is NOT. Would you let him do that if it was a honking huge Rottweiler?? I like dogs, but I cannot stand yappy little dogs that are allowed to misbehave just because they look like tiny snowballs instead of being intimidating. So be the pack leader you're supposed to be, and teach your dog how to behave while you still can. Or I swear I will do it for you.
Double or triple space?Quote:

fwiw... for all that we shared... i think it's pretty shi**tty you made this decision all on your own:(
Double. APA style which is a mystery process all it's own. I have written on more 6 pager and have 2 more ten page papers due. You must have some experience writing papers, too??? Lucky gal!Quote:

I do not appreciate your sarcastic laden humor that puts students down.
I don't think your discussion of your preferred political affilliation has a place in the course I registered for. Even if I agree.
My respect continues to wane.
Please, think about your position and the professionalism which you are modeling.
Thanks!
