Dear So and So

[lph]

Dear World,
Quit kicking me. I'm down, already.

Dear Alcohol,
Please, let me get wasted enough at the Christmas party to forget the last 6 months. But not wasted enough to cry on the wrong shoulder. Thank you.


Dear Snow,
Please come soon, we need the light.

Dear 212 & 222,

Look, I get that I should have taken the clue when y'all asked "Do you own dogs?" when I first moved in. At the time, I assumed you were just being curious about poop and thought nothing of saying 'Oh, yeah, 2 mini-schnauzers, don't worry, I clean up after them". A month later, I realize that y'all actually do not like dogs AT ALL.

Now, when I first moved in, I thought I was being courteous by giving you my cell numbers and stating if they ever were too loud(they do like to jump off the beds/couch etc) to call me. Never once have you called. I'm happily thinking that all is right. UNTIL FRIDAY, when I came home to find a "NOISE VIOLATION" from the apt complex that you two have complained my dogs are barking & making noise at all hours of the DAY & NIGHT! Excuse me? First off, we weren't home half the week because I was at my gram's funeral, so how could it be going on all week?!

But I have chosen to be a kind Christian soul & have already spoke to the apartment complex. December 1, I will transfer to a building that is more 'dog friendly' so I can avoid dealing with you directly.

On a slight unChristian note, the City should be calling you because someone reported that you have been feeding several stray cats and they are pooping all over building 2's walkways.

To follow up on Paigette's stray cat issues (nice job, by the way!!).

To the black cat who likes to torment MY black cat...GO AWAY, Fuzzball! He doesn't like you and he doesn't just say it, he SPRAYS it (if you catch my meaning!). GO AWAY OR I'LL LET DH GET OUT THE BLOWGUN!!!

To follow up on the last two posts

I wasn't going to say anything after Paigette posted, because that lady was not very fair with her.
But the losers here are the cats, not the irresponsible cat owners

I completely agree that the cats need help (I'm an all-around animal lover)! That's why I would never think to normally complain about her helping the cats. The letter is simply meant to chastise her for her rudeness!

As for the cat poop everywhere, it would be nice if she would have fed them AWAY from the walkway(it's an open walkway with grass not 3 feet away!)

Dear Freddie,

Has it really been 15yrs since we lost one of the best singers around? Sept 5 46-Nov 24, 1991.

I would like to say thank you for your amazing voice, awesome lyrics, funky sounds and for bringing us Roger Taylor .

Thank you for not giving up until the end. We all saw this in the " these are the days of our lives" video...

hey CC. I've been listening to his music all day. Here's one of my favorites, just for you. Enjoy.

Somebody To Love

(Mercury)

Can anybody find me somebody to love
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in beliving you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -
I get down on my kness
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord - somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?

(He works hard)

Everyday - I try and I try and I try -
But everybody want to put me down,
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sence
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah - Yeah yeah yeah

Oh Lord
Somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm OK, I'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love ... etc.
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Dear Religiously Observant Jewish woman who I saw on my ride today,

The various Taliban and the Modesty Squads ain't never going to get you.
There you were in the autumn sunshine riding along the Jordan River trail. Accompanied by your husband, you were wearing a mid-calf black fullish skirt, thick rib-knitted white stockings, a long-sleeved white hoody and a helmet covering your hair - the picture of religious correctness.
I didn't stop to chat because I wanted you to enjoy the ride and not be stopped by me gawking and asking questions.
It was such a glorious day for a ride. I hope I see you again

Dear neighbors,

STOP STEALING MY SHOES!

I know that I go out to ride my bike at hours most people are sleeping. Therefore, so as not to disturb your beauty rest, I never wear my bike shoes when taking my bike through the condo complex. I know the clop-clop of my cleats would not be a welcome sound before dawn. I don't want to wear just my socks outside because I happen to like my socks and want to keep them around as long as possible. And yes, at 6am the pavement is darn COLD. So, being a good neighbor, I wear my flip-flops out to the complex entrance, park them there and put on my carbon road shoes for the ride.
Imagine my surprise when -- for the third time in the last few months -- I return from my ride and find my flip flops gone!

Folks, I AM NOT THE FLIP FLOP FAIRY. Do you wake up in the morning, go outside with coffee in hand to get the paper and think, "Oh lookie! I've been a good boy/girl so the Flip Flip Fairy left me another treat!" Does it occur to you that they belong to someone else? Does it bother you to wear flip flops my MY name written on them? I'm trying to be quiet and considerate, but you are making that harder and harder.

In the future, I would appreciate it if you kept your hands off my footwear. Or anything else that does not belong to you.
I and my flip flops thank you.

STOP STEALING MY SHOES!

Maybe the next time you leave a pair of flip-flops out, leave an appropriate note under them. Something like "GOTCHA! Don't even THINK about it." Or something....

Good luck - can't imagine why someone would do that!

Ihope you find them soon!

Chickwhorips!! You are aaaawesome! My twin sister lives in Dutch Harbor, and I got a wee taste of that wonderful Cold Bay hospitality when I got to visit her this past July! Our 30 passenger plane had to land in Cold Bay for almost 3 hours until the weather cleared to go onto Unalaska. The people in Cold Bay were so nice, and I wish I could've explored the town. Maybe someday soon I'll be able to!

Not to sound like I'm bragging, but we had a fantastic time for the week I was in Unalaska. Lots of hiking. So gorgeous! I almost want to convince my SO that both of us should get teaching jobs in the Aleutians. However, I have heard that those Aleutian winters are legendary, and the weather in Colorado is admittedly gorgeous.

<3 <3 <3

snap - i'm in a bush town called cold bay. its the last "city" at the tip of the penninsula before the aleutian islands start.

nanci - no i'm not to worried. if the did try to attack us they would get less than 60 people. i figure they would go for anchorage if they wanted to hit alaska.

ksh - thanks! i will keep enjoying it up here and rub it in her face to.... na i'm not like that. i just know it kills her that i'm happy. i don't have to say a word.

the sad thing is i've had everyone in town ask me if she's always in a bad mood or just like that when she met them. poor thing can't even crack a smile.

anyone that is a happy person and can smile is more than welcome to come and visit me!

Dear Hospital renovators...

You are idiots!!!

You cut through the main electrical supply cable and the back up emergency supply!!!

You probably gave all the Emergency, surgical, cardiac and ICU staff heart attacks... What with EVERY SINGLE POWER OUTLET and light DISCONNECTED!

The EXIT SIGN didn't even come on!!

Now for why this p!!!ed me off. I was in the TC room, which has no windows, in a lab with no windows...

So I was IN THE DARK... LITERALLY. PITCH BLACK! scarey!

Never mind the hour after (it took 2mins for power to come back on) where everyone in the lab madly rushed about turning off alarms, restting equipment, rebooting computers, restarting experiments!

You really know how to make a monday. But I'm sure the annoyance on my end was only a small percentage of the LIFE OR DEATH situations you may have put the patients in!!! It's times like these I'm glad I'm not a nurse or a doctor!!

Hope your supervisor clipped you round the ears! DON'T DO IT AGAIN!

From a very annoyed scientist
