Dear So and So

[salsabike]

Dear Mimitabby,

I have thought a number of times that you are one of the kindest, warmest, nicest people I've met recently. I have thought that when we've met in person and I often think it when I read your posts. I am sorry that your sister is not able to see through her own stuff to realize what a good-hearted soul you are. I'm glad the rest of us know it, though.

PS I have a difficult sister too, who does similar stuff to me. You have my total sympathy, believe me.

Dear Teigyr -

I just read the post about the pole dancing.

I am so sorry you had to deal with that. Take that lil' pretentious Seven owning (sorry Bikerz, you are not like that and you deserve a Seven) b*itch out to the local hills and ride her legs off.

Also trying to think of the snappy retort like "Oh, tee hee, you'll know about gearing, equipment and how you sound saying that your Seven was maaaaade for you (because they all are) when you ride as much and as well as I do"

Dear Mimitabby, Sorry about your sister.

Dear Siblings, One of whom may read this Thanks for being my siblings.

Former PITA,

What has possessed you to decide to show up in front of my building to "talk" to me? I am so glad I took the bridge from the parking garage and didn't go through the front door. I have no idea how long you were waiting, but I could guess considering you started calling my office phone starting at 6 am. Your borderline stalker at that point.

I am over you. Done. Fin. No mas. We both made that quite clear through the last few emails. Maybe the fact that all of your emails are blocked from my accounts mean something to you also. Which you know this because you mentioned you couldn't get a hold of me any other way.

Lucky for you, this morning I didn't expect you and you had the upper hand. Now, I have the upper hand and I'm p!$$ed. I am not afraid of you, and if you want a face to face confrontation, that is what you will get. If you didn't get the hint from me turning back around and leaving the building this morning that I don't want to speak to you, if you try it again, trust me, you will know.

Sincerely,
A very empowered girl
who you don't want to mess with

good grief, Chick,
call the police! that's scary!

Hey CWR-

Do you carry a cell phone with you? Do you have an emergency contact person in Anchorage to help you out?

Please ensure if you do see dork boy again that you call the police.

I don't want to hear bad news about our CWR from Anchorage ok.

Sending Kit(& X)'s boot up to Anchorage should be a last resort.

Take care of yourself & be safe.

I do have a cell phone that I have with me. Yesterday I was walking in with my friend, which helped. Today there was no sign of him. If that means he gives up, good. He either A) got the reaction he wanted or B) realized I don't want to talk.

Dear School Board:

Thank you so much for changing your policy regarding water related field trips one week before our field trip. I am sure that there are many legal issues involved. Now teachers need to check the ages of the life guards employed by the pool or water park? Of course you know that those places employ high schools students, not all the lifeguards will be 21 years old.

Why didn't you just have the guts to make the policy say what you really wanted? You don't want water related field trips. Just freakin' say so!

It was especially kind of you to change this policy after several schools had already made end of the year plans.

Idiots!

Dear Nasty Child in the Red Van,

Clearly you have no manners. I hope you parents enjoy your teenage years.

Dear Drunk Man in the Truck,

Don't make chicken noises at a woman as she is riding her bike down the road - particularly this woman, because I will confront you.

Clearly you're an idiot and a loser.

Dear Fire Marshall;

I want to know if you will be measuring the surface area of my classroom walls to determine if I have more than 50% of them covered?

[mimitabby]

um, Veronica is on a roll!


Dear Self
bright yellow shells DO NOT protect you from the rain.
If there is even a SLIGHT chance of rain on your commute, CARRY a RAINcoat.
you have a good one.

Thank you.

Dear Drunk Man In Truck,

If you don't want to spill your beer, don't mess with Veronica. She carries dog spray. Which also works on vermin, I mean humans.

Dear person who stole the computer and front light off my bike while it was parked outside the gym

What do you intend doing with a cycle computer without the wires?
What do you intend doing with a front bike light without the bit that attaches it to the bike?
Why did you put me in a position of having to choose between pushing my bike home (about a 45 minute walk , including through some dodgy areas) or riding in the dark without a light?

Dear Flu.

Go away I'm tired of hacking & coughing plus it's hurting my head.

Go away flu, go away..shoo!

That's like the person who stole ONE glove from my helmet once. They didn't notice the other glove that was cushioning my frame against the metal pole, so they didn't get THAT glove. So...what the heck are you going to do with ONE GLOVE?? Ruined a brand new pair I had JUST BOUGHT. I figured it was a teenager. Obviously whoever stole your computer has no idea how they actually work.
When I lock my bike up outside a place, I now take my helmet, gloves, the main part of my bike computer which snaps on and off easily enough (because clueless kids would find it too easy and tempting even though it won't work without all the other parts), and my dog pepper spray (partly because I don't want to get sued if some kid sprays themselves while I'm not there!), and my lock key of course. At least I can toss it all into my helmet and carry it inside with me. The things we have to do.....
