Dear So and So

[pooks]

Many of you graciously sent Christmas/Holiday cards to a unti in Iraq when I requested them last fall.

I just wanted to stomp my feet and curse a bit and ask for prayers and good wishes -- they have just been notified that their tours have been extended three more months (along with most everyone else over there, according to the news).

May all our soldiers come home safe.

Hmm, I put this in an ongoing thread instead of starting a new one.

Okay, I'll just amend it.

Dear ______________ in Chief.

Please. Let them come home now?

Thank you.

Dear Fate-

Thanks for providing me with the girly version of cajones, or at least letting me borrow them for a bit. I don't miss working on construction sites, open-pit mines, or highways. At all. My hair is looking much better these days now that I don't wear a hard hat. Alas, I don't sleep nearly as much anymore, but I'm sure my lab partners appreciate my hard-earned understanding of organic molecules and stoichiometry. Also, the demise of my 50-mile-round-trip commute is doing wonders for my personality, and is convieniently timed to avoid the annual mass mark-up of gasoline. I also thank you (actually the credit goes to Knotted ) for a new opportunity to do some volunteer work in my new potential field. For once, I'm not so freaked out about my future. What comes will come.

However, now I must move on to some points of contention. Will you mind knocking some sense into my dear friend? After knowing each other half our lives, he's decided to throw a temper tantrum because I do not want to date him. Never mind that I've had the same boyfriend for the past two-plus years, never mind that we've had this conversation before- it's been over three months since dear friend will answer email or pick up the phone, and I'm pissed. I feel rather blindsided by the sudden declaration of apparent everlasting love, and even more so by the just-as-sudden declaration of apparent everlasting hate. I feel this is indicative of exactly why I do not want to date said friend, as I really don't go for this kind of behavior. Can you at least inform my friend that he should at least talk to me in person about this so we can resolve something? (perhaps you could lend him some of those cajones).

Thanks. Much appreciated. Now, where's spring? You teased us with 70 degrees last week- let's do it again!

Dear Weather Magicians
cute trick I don' t know how sunny, partly sunny, and slightly cloudy can turn into THIS nasty stuff. Now I have to ride in it. Could you just keep the faucets turned off until nightfall? Thank you.
PS you're doing a great job of convincing the flat earth contingent that global warming is a wacky left wing notion!
sincerely
have rain coat and rain pants just in case anyway


ps chickwhorips you SOOOO do not deserve that AH! every time he spews is more
proof that you need to stay far far far away from him.

CWR - thank god you are away from that idiot and on your own finally. He's just p*ssed off because you are making it without him just fine and are happier now. Sour grapes. We all know you are a wonderful person and deserve every happiness coming to you these days. Ignore XPITA and keep smiling little sister.

Love ya lots.

Dear Desperate patients
When you call me at the last moment because you are sooo desperate and in sooo much pain and I promise to stay late/come in early/have no life so you can enjoy yours ...COULD YOU AT LEAST SHOW UP?- and please don't call when you remember the appointment the next day and ask again for another appointment- please use the drama on someone else- if you were that desperate you would have shown up for the first appointment.
