Dear So and So

[Flybye]

Flybye, I am hereby mailing you my get-into-grad-school karma. It's only gently used, and should be perfectly good still!

You so stinkin' nice ta me!!!

Dear Smoke and House Alarm Manufacturers:

Is there some effin' reason your systems must always start "low battery" alerts in the middle of the night?

I feel your pain SK ... our smoke alarm started chirping in the middle of the night and the bedroom ceiling is 18 ft tall. We have to get an extension ladder to remove/replace the battery.

Us two and Bubba isn't here. There is no way I can haul the stupid ladder into the house by myself without whacking up the walls and moulding.

One of my co-workers just called. His carbon monoxide alarm started last night also. Was there something kind of weird ju-ju last night? The waxing gibbous moon?

What?

I just found this discussion thread. I enjoyed it greatly while eating lunch at my desk at work (yes, let big brother watch--some day I just hope to get fired over using the web for personal business!). I just hope I can be as witty as some have in my Dear So & So....

Dear Goodess of Health,
I am tired of my cold. I do not normally get sick and I am now sick and tired of being sick. I need--no I WANT to ride this weekend, so please let me feel better.

Dear Bike,
Be kind to me this weekend. I really, really want to ride you faster...you sleek pink carbon beauty! So let's be one with the wind (hopefully it will be at my back the entire time!).

Dear Oregon Department of Revenue,
Why is it that even though I decreased my allowances, thus allowing you to take even more of my income, you give me back $200 less than last year?! I gave you a lot of my money and if you aren't going to put it to good use, I want it back! Besides, I want to buy my new bike so that I may continue saving the roads and the environment. Doesn't that count as a charitable donation?

Dear company of employment,
Please, pretty please give me more than a paltry 3% raise- that barely covers the cost of inflation! I would like to remind you that I didn't see any other supervisors or managers at store 287 volunteering to work overnights for 3 months during Christmas...

Dear IRS,

Thank you soooooooo much for informing me NOW that I overpaid by $14 last year. Now, if you'll provide the refund with the current interest rate, we'll call it even.
