Dear Tummy:

Enough with the troubles. Knocking out the entire weekend with one bug was bad enough, but now we're at it again?!?!? I'm trying to start a new job tomorrow. Please behave.

Dear Dad and Mom,

I needed support not judgment. If I knew you were going to decide I was a drama queen or had some non-existent thing people don't need to be treated for I wouldn't have told you why I went to the doctor yesterday. So maybe just keep your mouth shut, it didn't help.

Not looney tunes or a drama queen,
your daughter

You got a new job, CA?! Do tell! If you posted about it, I missed it. I've been kinda off and on here recently. Congratulations! Maybe your tummy woes are partly nerves over the new job?

Feel better soon, and good luck with the new job. Hope you love it and that the hours aren't as crazy as your last position.

To the eastern European couple who were walking at Lake Miramar as I was riding by, especially the man. Your wife was several paces ahead of you - was she angry, or just outwalking you? - when I passed you, I saw you glance my way, then you called to your wife by name and then said something like "Dubrevnyeh!" I came up on her just as you were shouting this, she looked at me and laughed out loud. A grating, derisive laugh. What was it? Russian for "grapefruit on wheels!"?

Dubrev-this. :P I did 20 miles that day.

Dear People Who Split Our Tab Last Night,

Thank-you. I was deeply touched by the gesture. Not in so much to find out our dinner was paid for (frankly, we have more than enough while so many others are barely getting by), but to know that we have your support. As someone who is about to send off her best friend and partner for a year, I very much appreciate that. I would have liked to have met you to thank-you in person, but respect your wishes to keep your anonymity. I'll make sure to pay it forward somehow.

Sincerely,

Soo

Dear Easter Bunny

Thank you for the best present in the whole world. Although it will not arrive until after Easter, it will be worth the wait!

Oh, Soo, that is sweet! and I am sad to hear they are shipping him out again!!

Dear Boss,
I wish you knew how much I would love to report to any other boss in the world other than you. You are most definitely the worst boss I have ever had in my 40 years of employment.

Take this job and shove it.

Dear Western Australians,

Get your heads out of the sand

& stop acting like spoilt children. Why is it that you don't want daylight savings? I just can't see through your arguments but thanks for outlining them anyways. Don't give me it's not good becuase of the heat argument...Canadians deal with it just fine in extreme temps, what makes Western Australians so special?

So when at the referendum next month think.....Perhaps this state will move away from it's "Wait A while " nickname..

Don't get me started on shopping hours.

Dear US States,

Now that studies have repeatedly shown that Daylight Savings Time wastes energy and is detrimental to human health, can we PLEASE abolish it?

What studies?

In the 70s, I recall that we reverted to DST in the winter due to the fuel crisis. I think this was just for one winter (the year I turned 10, if I'm not mistaken). The theory was that it would save energy.

No offense intended but what is your beef with DST?

**OakLeaf** · 04-03-2009, 09:23 AM

Wikipedia has a well annotated review of the literature.

From a health standpoint, it's only the time shifts that are problematic. I'd be happy with "permanent" DST like some countries have (where clocks are set to read 1 PM at astronomical noon year round).

From an energy standpoint, there may have been clear savings when the practice was initiated during World War I, when the main use of electricity was household lighting. Nowadays, the evidence is mixed at best.

**Selkie** · 04-04-2009, 03:44 AM

I'd like DST to be permanent as well.

**sgtiger** · 04-04-2009, 08:20 AM

My internal clock takes a long time to reset, so I detest the time change. I don't care if we stay on standard or DST - just pick one and stay with it, I say!

**Crankin** · 04-04-2009, 10:17 AM

I love DST.
I hated being in AZ, where we didn't have it. It got dark so early, when it was nice out! Perhaps we should have had reverse DST, i.e., in the winter when it was decent weather, instead of in the summer.
I am so glad it starts in March now. It really has added a month onto the cycling season for me.
