    Mimi,
    He was out for a walk and down the street from our house. He'd walked down to the end of the street and they weren't there, then when he was walking back towards our house, they ran out of the neighbour's yard and chased him. After the last dog incident and his gait had gotten worse again, I'd asked him to stay closer to home when he went for a walk so most of the time, he walks up and down the street in front of our house.
    Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches

    Dear S&S-

    Please don't feel that you have to repay me in any way.

    It was only a minor inconvenience and you know I'd do the same for you or anyone else who needed it.
    Doing a favor and expecting some form of payment isn't a favor at all. It all works out eventually.

    Maybe you can come help me paint

    Mary-
    lord knows I'm a dog lover too but as someone who also has gait difficulties I think he should carry Halt.
    it might seem mean but it would probably only take one time for them to remember.

    Dear Professors-
    I know that I signed up for this and even paid for this experience but please, no more papers this semester. I have written a 14 pg, a 11 pg, and six 4 pg. papers. I'd like to experience something else. It's called sanity.
    Thanks.

    Dear Fly,

    You should have majored in art. You draw pictures for your thesis.

    Mary,

    You need to call animal control. Do you want there to be a second chance for him to get bitten?
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    I had a big, fat dalmatian come bounding out at me yesterday afternoon. Quite surprised as it's on my commute route. I had never seen him before. But he stopped. I think he realized I was a person.

    Now you tell me - that's like rubbing salt in a wound. You make money AND you drew for you thesis. Smack.

    dear so and so... you may be relieved, but my heart is breaking. yes talking to you this past few days has helped alleviate some of the shock... but when you made the comment that talking to me is okay because it requires no energy makes me sad i didn't know i was such a burden... last i knew and heard, i was the love of your life. i am sick knowing that tomorrow is one week that the bomb dropped in my home... and i even sicker knowing you knew well ahead you were going to drop it... and there i was anxiously awaiting to see you face friday night... just so you could dodge my hug and say "we need to talk".

    fwiw... for all that we shared... i think it's pretty shi**tty you made this decision all on your own

    Dear Professor of the Professional Institution,
    I was not impressed when you dropped the F-bomb in class.
    I do not appreciate your sarcastic laden humor that puts students down.
    I don't think your discussion of your preferred political affilliation has a place in the course I registered for. Even if I agree.
    My respect continues to wane.
    Please, think about your position and the professionalism which you are modeling.
    Thanks!
