    Dear all,

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

    Thanks.

    Not asking to send them to anyone else, just FLUSH!!

    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...

    Although the thought of some person sitting in their cube throwing a temper tantrum because Snap didn't answer!!!! is rather amusing.

    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.

    Dear universe,

    I'm done. Really. I've reached my capacity for crap, so if you could hold off until I get one or two of these things dealt with, I'd really appreciate it.

    Thanks.
