Dear whoever is in charge, please give me the strength to help my very dear friend through the tough times that are ahead. She's made the first steps, please help guide her down the drug free path.

Dear New Jersey DOT,

I want to thank you for the grand scheme to remove the circle near our house. Yes, i understand that morons on the road who do not understand the concept of a roundabout or a yield sign cause havoc upon entering a unique road situation like a circle. However, their inability to handle a motor vehicle is NOTHING compared to the amazing traffic jamb caused by your "new and improved" intersection. Instead of traffic flowing through the circle, we now have another light to negotiate, which causes traffic to back up through the previous TWO lights. I now have to resort to my old route home to avoid the ten minutes it takes me to go .1 miles. Many thanks to you in your utlimate wisdom.

Bravo!

Dear Self,

Way to go not checking the burn time on the new headlights. Now you have to take the short route home (hopefully you'll make it)...walk inside the warm house, resist temptation to stay inside said warm house, grab the other battery pack, switch and go back out to ride. Dork.

Love,
Me.

Dear people

When you agree to do something with us, please check with us before you change it. There may be a reason that we wanted you to come over for the glass of wine you invited yourself over at 8pm instead of 7pm. Now I have to hurry through dinner and the house won't be tidied. And there may be a reason we wanted to get dressed up and go out for a nice dinner with just you and not a casual pub food get together with you and your dysfunctional friends. I wonder what would happen if I started changing all the arrangements without asking if that works......hmmmmmmmm

I just can't figure out if it's that we suck so much that we want doesn't matter, or if other people just plain suck.

Hugs and butterflies, anyway, even to those who are frustrating,
~T~

Dear CVS,

How many times am I supposed to let you scr*w up the dosage on my prescriptions before I take my business back to Walgreen's, even though it does mean filing the insurance claims myself? With all the news about serious injuries and deaths from medication errors, I'd think you'd be a little more careful.

Dear Construction Folks up the street,

I'm a very understanding person.

I understand that there are times that you can't have water going to the house where you're doing the construction project.

I understand that there are times you have to shut off the water at the meter.

I understand that the meters don't tell us mere mortals (who don't work for the water company) which meter belongs to which house.

I understand that you have to use a system of trial and error until you turn off the water for the intended house.

Could you do me (and my neighbors) a small favor? The next time you run this trial and error exercise, could you please turn the water back on when you discover that it wasn't for the intended meter?

Otherwise, it's kind of a drag for a non-morning person such as myself to wake up, try to make a pot of coffee/brush one's teeth/take a shower and discover that no water comes out of the tap when you turn on the faucet. It's also a drag to wait for the man from the water company and have some sense of civility when said non-morning person hasn't had any coffee, brushed her teeth, or showered.

I know, it's a small thing -- it's not going to get us world peace or anything, but at least it's a step in the right direction.

Thanks and hammer on!
- your neighbor, the non-morning person

Dear Peanut,

I understand you don't know what is going on and why your leg hurts, but please trust me that it is for the best. When I try to do things so you can't lick the incision without wearing the e-collar I'm trying to be nice, but when you rip off whatever I do to cover it, I'm frustrated and about to put you back into the e-collar. I like sleeping at night not hearing that thing hit everything and I know your more comfortable, but if you don't work with me, I'll have no other choice. I promise only one more week of this and then the e-collar is over and we can start rehab.

Love,
Your mommy

PS- When I yell at you to sit and lay down it isn't because I'm mad at you its because I don't want you to hurt yourself and I love you. You don't have to work the sad puppy look the way you do. I feel bad enough as it is.
