Dear So and So

Not a stray cat hair? What's their secret. We try to keep our two-cat household clean, but I still feel like it's covered in fur. We have kitty fur tumbleweeds. When Sophie was still alive, we called them tumblesophs.

LOL at the tumblesophs I am looking forward to seeing your cats!

They just clean. A lot. I mean, really a lot. Also their two cats for some reason don't seem to shed quite as much as my cats always did, though it may have had something to do with sweeping the whole place twice a day...

Every time I've been over there, DBF's family does a massive clean because I'm allergic to cats (and his mom's a bit of a neat freak). I've never had a problem with the resident kitty, but I kept finding cat hairs the clothes I took there.

Dear person--
You want me to tutor your daughter. A little more communication, especially about the logistics, would be nice. I don't want to find out I have to take the bus or the bike (god forbid!) at the last minute.
Me.

Dear Manager,

A little lipstick on the Pig doesn't fix the problem.

The Pig is still there. You're causing me much work to apply a liberal amount mascara to said Pig, so while I realize it makes YOU feel better, my to-do list isn't being helped by taking this time to make you feel better.

If you could consider this the next time-- and I'm sure there will be a next time-- I'd be a much happier and productive employee.

Sincerly,
Me

Dear World,
Could people please stop being so ruled by money??!! It drives me crazy the way money is the only thing many people listen to.
Also, could people start actually caring for other people....truly caring, without ulterior motives!!??
One more thing....could the rich corporations that exploit so many people be put out of business?!?
I know its big, but if we work together we can do it...

Dear race organizers. How could you run out of finisher medals before the majority of the runners/walkers finished the course? Could you not plan for this knowing how many people were registered?

And wtf is this...tearing down the course before everyone is done? How disheartening is it to be crossing the finish line while dodging people rolling up banners and barricade nets? At least the race announcer kept going, announcing every person who crossed the line.

This isn't your first time doing this, you should know better.

Please say this wasn't a charity ride. If it was, go to the national organization and post a comment. If it is like charity rides around here, you pay your registration, the race is organized and run by seasoned but unpaid volunteers, the Sag supplies are donated from local merchants and or members of the local organization etc etc so that the majority of the registration funds collected go to the local charity.

Everyone pays the same amount for the privilege of some sort of commemorative stuff- t shirt, luggage tag, baseball, cap, water bottle, whatever and deserves an equal chance to finish and not be metaphorically told to "get the hell out of the way, and why should we wait around for you, we've got your money."
