Dear So and So

Dear So and So,

You know I luv ya, but your kid's a brat! I hate to say this, but I think it's all the yelling you do at her. Now, she doesn't know when you're serious or not, and it's confusing for her, so she never listens to you. I also think you need to cut back on the sugar you give her. She was bouncing off the walls after that lemonade, and it was not fun for me to be around her. I gave up the best riding day this week to be with you, and it was less than gold star.

Spending time with her does make me appreciate my decisons, though, so I'm grateful for that. Easy for me to criticize your parenting, since I don't have to do it. Don't think I could do it any better, btw.

Maybe come alone next time. You need a break. She's not easy for an afternoon, I don't know how you do it full time.

Dear insane lack of motivation,

I realize that home and summer break are only two weeks away, but could you please exert the minimal effort required to quit making me lurk the TE forums instead of picking up my philosophy books and actually reading so I pass and might be allowed to come back to school next year? Lovely.

Dear (unexpected) overnight guest:

I was more than happy to let you stay overnight Saturday as your furnace had died and it is still too cold here in MN to be without heat at night.

I was disappointed (and hurt) come Sunday morning when all you did was complain that the house was too cold, bed was too hard, the heat register made too much noise in the night so that you could not "get your beauty sleep". You even made a comment about getting up so early (8:00 a.m.) even though I'd informed you that I needed to leave no later than 10 am to go visit an elderly aunt out of town. I also got up early to make us a nice breakfast which I think is what a gracious hostess should do for company.

I'm certainly willing to help friends when necessary but phhllleaaaze . . . no whining or complaining, ok?

Dear Computer Gods,

I'm unsure whether you are trying to protect me or screw me up.

When I'm trying to bid on a commuting bike on Ebay as an auction is ending, this is not normally a good time for my virus software to start updating.

However, as I may have found better on Craigslist this morning, perhaps you are acting in my best interest
