Dear So and So

[Owlie]

I don't know, I have a hard time buying for people who have hobbies that I don't understand. I'd rather get them a gift card for a related store (or Amazon. You can buy nearly anything on Amazon!) than try to make guesses. Granted, a wish list takes some of the guesswork out of it.

Dear former(?) favorite jeans:
You're possibly the oldest thing in my closet. Why do you still fit nearly perfectly, but have a hole in a very awkward place that is impossible to patch without it being obnoxiously visible?

Dear Manuscript,

Why do you have to be so ridiculously hard to write? My hands hurt from taking pages and pages of notes. My head hurts from reading tons of articles to find one measly little reference. My neck hurts from hunching over my keyboard for hours each day. My brain hurts from trying to mangle all this data into a single, coherent argument. Seriously, can't you just write yourself and be done with it?

Sincerely,
Frustrated Researcher

Dear Herald,
You haven't eaten much at all these past couple of days, or drank any water either. Although you seem to be awake and alert, I'm sure you don't feel very good and I know that you aren't getting around as well as you could compared to a couple of weeks ago. Your vet called today and left her home number on my voice mail, if I should need it this weekend.

I'm feeling your pain, Beth. That's a tough decision to make.

[OakLeaf]

(((((Beth & Herald))))) Thinking of you.

Oh Beth - I'm so sorry Hugs to you and Harold. You'll know.

[NbyNW]

Beth -- I will keep you in my thoughts this weekend, I hope Herald isn't suffering too much.

[PamNY]

Beth, I will be thinking of you and Herald.
