Dear So and So

[crazycanuck]

Sorry to hear about Mr Pajarito

[pfunk12]

I'm so sorry for your loss, Tulip.

[[[hugs]]] Tulip! What a special bird. I love the hiding nuts in his cast story!

Dear Fate,

Please lay off the bf. Enough is enough. Having his truck and UHaul, loaded with what few belongings he has left, ready to head here and having it almost towed away is over the top! He paid $80 that he really couldn't afford to have it not taken away. (Thank you to my little angel that niggled him to go out at that moment, as the driver was about to leave. *whew*.) Let the bf get here safely, driving without the sleep he needed because since he had nowhere to park it, and had to leave TONIGHT or be in danger of it being towed away while he slept.

Special brownie points to his brother-in-law who is the coolest guy on Earth, and has helped the bf in so many ways!

Sincerely,
Me

Tulip-So sorry about Parajito. I have loved birds for years, and have a 12 year old Senegal parrot, so I am especially moved by your tribute to your little friend.

May he live on in your heart and memory.

I, too have a Poicephalus, Pepper is 10. Pepper is fully flighted and divebombs the dogs, some day one of them is going to retaliate, but Pois are snots by nature and Pepper won't stop. (S)he has also gotten out once and flew around the neighborhood - which is all my way of saying you gave Pajarito a wonderful life, and that's the most important thing!
If you don't let them live, nothing ever happens to them. If you let them live, sometimes things go terribly wrong. But, the life is the important part.

Thanks, everybody. I really appreciate your virtual hugs. He was a great little bird. I just wish he had met a more peaceful ending. But he has that now. Thanks again.

Dear people in the Seattle Personnel office - would you please process the paperwork and make notifications / offers? This waiting game is driving me crazy.

[staceysue]

Dear Father, Son, and Holy Spirit:

Please, please, please, please, please push my soil scientist application through the forest service and grant me the job! It's only 10 miles from my house verses the 67 miles I commute every day, and it would be so nice to work with people from my own community. I'd love to make some friends I can actually do things with! Although I truly appreciate the opportunities you've given me in nursing, I want to make use of my biology degree and research experience. Working outside in the beautiful forest you've created here would be a blessing I'd be grateful for every day of my life, and I'd have a job I could stay in until long past retirement age. I would be a good steward of the earth and love her and keep her!

Amen!

Dear Daughter,

Yes, we have sex. I'm sorry you heard. We were quiet, but the bed squeaks more since we moved it, and I, obviously, wasn't thinking at the time. You ARE almost 21, but I'm sure at any age the idea is disturbing. Sigh....but posting 'OMFG SHOOT ME NOW' on Facebook? I hope you recover, and don't need therapy.

Mom

Dear concerned friend,

I know you are concerned about my well-being, but there is no need to continually warn me about the dangers of cycling at my age and acting shocked when you saw the bike rack on my car. I understand that you and your husband are totally against having a bike rack (though you no longer ride bicycles) but that is no reason to go ballistic on me when you saw mine. I am not your child, and you are certainly not in charge of my finances. Do you really think that all it will take to turn me against cycling is to tell me for the nth time about what can happen to a woman out on her own? What is up with that? I don't think that this has anything to do with me at all...

[Crankin]

Oy, Catrin, I would get rid of that friend. Anyone who thinks a 50 year old woman is old and shouldn't be doing something alone is nuts.
There.

[bmccasland]

Catrin - you keep ridin' girl! So long as your joints allow you. Riding is fun. Piffle on said "friend".

Dear Coworkers
I know that you are just trying to help, but suggesting that a cyclist riding in the rain
is doing a disservice to his children is a bit much. Every story you can tell me about cyclists getting killed by cars I can match with motorists killing themselves or other motorists with cars.
You're not helping. I'm not impressed. And i'm still going to ride my bike..
