    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!

    Dear all,

    A little more light and a little less heat, please.

    Thanks.

    Dear Self,
    The next time the silly notion strikes you to eat an entire pomegranite. Don't. Put it down, and step back. Remember the brambleberries in Scotland? It's a lot like that. Just step away from the pomegranite. Tummy will thank you.

    Find something else to do with the lovely ruby red berry fruit thing.

    Find a camera and take a close-up of it!

    Then give it away to a kid who's never eaten a pomegranate before.

    Alton Brown says pomegranate seeds will keep in a Ziploc bag for a couple of weeks. If he says it it must be true.

    Dear self,

    Three things...
    1. Potato chips do not a healthy breakfast make.
    2. You're 33. You really should know by now how to tell when someone is flirting with you.
    3. Congrats on getting your Bulgarian split squats back. So what if it's just at bodyweight for now (besides, your body weight is nothing to sneeze at), a year ago you couldn't even walk up or down stairs without help because of that knee. And six months ago, you couldn't do single leg movement exercises without practically falling over from the pain and instability. You can really start working on not overcompensating for strength with the other leg now. Good job.

    Love always,
    Dex

    Dear friend/co-worker. When your department director says "do not email snap with work related questions" he meant you also. I will not answer or acknowledge your emails.

    Apparently some are still having difficulty grasping the concept? I think you should show up with your scar highlighted AND the neck bolts. Maybe then they might get the notion.

    naah.. probably not...

    Would it be a really bad thing if you replied but with wrong directions? "first send ouch this command, then this one and .... ouch oh, copy that file over here like ouch so and .. oh did that erase your hard drive? Oh how silly of me. Must be because I'm on disability and in pain!!!!!!!!!!! "

    Yeah, don't do that. but they would leave you alone.

    Woof

    Dear Non-Profit organization that provides service dogs to the blind -

    You broke my dog!!! Well, I know, technically he's "your" stud dog, and I am just his "keeper", but let's be realistic, he's our family's DOG. And he went in for a DATE with one of your floozies, and I go to pick him up and his tail is BROKEN!! Who slammed the frickking kennel door on my dog's tail??

    And it may need to be amputated to prevent nerve damage, and amputation seems like such a silly thing but you people who don't LIVE with him have no idea how much pleasure he gets from chasing his tail. Seriously, he has done this his entire simple loving little life. He is a tail chaser. He loves it.

    Well, let's just hope he's home for Christmas.

    Dog mom.
