Dear So and So

Tuckervill, LOL!

Next thing would be to walk over to her and chat *her* up about it, as in face to face, to show her how it's done Oy!

Dear weatehr,

You completely changed between last night and today - I mean the forecast. It was going to be rain, then cold with tapering flurries at the end - standard stuff that I would disgruntledly bear even if it is March and time for spring.

Oops, now the Gulf has gotten involved and is blowing in another 6 inches. Howe about just changing to snow *now*, and giving us ten so that everything's closed and we can all stay home?

[Tuckervill]

But I'm not sure it was "her". Probably was, though. She's the only one who's not home during the weekdays--the other neighbors would have called earlier.

Dear knee,

I know you are pretty unhappy today and you were cranky all day. Now I'm worn out. Think I'll grab the comforter and head for the couch. Wish you didn't hurt so much.

(((((((sundial and knee)))))) feel better!

Dear STBEH (soon-to-be-ex-husband),

You say I never loved you but I know that's not true, it's just your anger speaking. You say I stole 17 years of your life, but I know that's not true, because I have many, many good memories of our life together. I gave you what you said you wanted, the one thing that you said would allow you to move on, but that apparently is not enough. I wish you the very best in your future. I have to let you go, and you have to let me go.

I have a collie who likes to go out on the back patio and stand there yelling,"Hey everyone! What's going on? Have you seen my beautiful long nose and my glorious winter coat? Did you watch the SImpsons last night? DO you know my sister? Would you like to sing a duet? Have you got any stuffed toys? Do you know where that dachshund is? Let me tell you about my work as a therapy dog...and of course you know you have to stay on the other side of the fence there, SLick, this is my yard and I have these little dogs to take care of. Hey, I smell BBQ..."etc.

Sounds like you have the right attitude - hopefully things will continue to move forward

I think that's a most excellent translation!

Crickey goes out the door running and baying, and she doesn't even know if there's anything out there to bark at. They all get to the fence and look at her like they caught her crying wolf AGAIN, then slump off for a pee.

Dear So and So

Thanks so much for giving me such an amazing husband. When I met him I was nuts to even go out with him, but he was persistent and it's a good thing.

Yesterday he knew 1/ i wanted to ride and 2/ it was going to be cold. So without discussing it with me he bought me new winter gloves. This morning when I looked outside and could see gleaming in the dim glow of a street light; my car COMPLETELY iced over, that it was QUITE cold, colder than I usually like to ride. "But I bought you new gloves" says he with a smile.
I dressed warmly, putting rain pants over my work pants, wearing a vest and two hats. We were off!
It was so cold that my eyes were tearing uncontrollably. I did not have my balaclava, so i stopped to get a handkerchief/bandanna to wear around my face. I'd left it at home.
Dear Resourceful Hubby whips one out and we are back riding down the long hill (really cold!)

happy camper

I read that if your eyes tear up in the cold, to use moistening eye drops before you start the ride. I'll have to try that because my eyes water like the dickens in cold weather.
