(I'm new to forum) Dear cold and flu - Yes you got the last word. I bragged that I was super woman since I got over my first cold and didn't catch the flu from my hubbie. Spoke to soon and now I'm missing the Amgen Tour and the brain cells I need for writing and teaching. I am humbled. Please go away so I can go to PT and swim. Dear asthma - please please keep under control with meds. so far so good!

Dear knee - please stop hurting so I can walk, run, ride.

Dear Dog - please be easy on me while your dad's away and stop sneaking away with my used kleenex.

Dear student - Yes I do know more than you. Listen and change your archaic notions about women.
