Dear So and So

[Geonz]

get better, lph!! So hard to know when to push through and try to let fresh air kill the germs, and when to lie down all quiet 'til it goes away.

Here's to keepers and the goodnesses of life

Dear Powers that Be;

Thank you for waiting until I had finished Party Pardee before the pinch flat I probably got by hauling over the railroad tracks near the end completely flattened my tire.

Pretty please, also let the 'pulmonary nodes' found on my sister's lungs be nothing cancerous and be totally treatable. She's been through enough.

Signed,

me

[lph]

And here's to good luck and good fate, deedolce!

dear Mom,

you're a smart, hardworking and extremely independent woman. You've lived by yourself for years in several different countries, some of them rather turbulent, you're a freelancer and you speak, like, 6 languages. Sooooo.... when a stranger in Nigeria suddenly wants to give you almost a million dollars - yes, honey, it IS a scam. You don't have to ask me how to prove it

Dear Queen -

Hugely belated hugs and condolences about your dad. Reading your Easter bunny post made me cry. Sorry I have been out of the loop. Hang in there.

Dear Self-Designated Super Lawyer Co-Counsel:

I will accept that this is YOUR client and YOU want to control the relationship, including limiting what I am given and what I can produce in this litigation. (I have, however, taken an ethical TUMS to allow me to proceed under these directives.) I will accept having you be the go-between to YOUR client since I am only the silly attorney hired by your client's insurance company to defend this case. I will take direction from you. I will even put up with your terse and critical emails about the recommendations that I make (which recommendations you then invariably adopt, with no apparent chagrin.)

But I draw the line at doing legal research for you. I am a litigation attorney who has been practicing for 16 years. I have tried cases. I presently act as a private judge in complex litigation cases. I've been on boards of directors for litigation practice groups and have met with state senators/assemblymen at the Capitol helping to guide them in making law. Do you really feel it necessary to send me something you'd like me to look up for you in WESTLAW? Do you realize that even though you are male, you, too, have access to the INTERNET??

Harumph.

You are SO CUTE when you walk with your leash in your mouth, strutting along & letting your show dog blood shine through!
