Dear So and So

Dear Snowstorm (aka Blizzard Conditions),

Please let up long enough for DD's DBF to make it here from Wyoming for her 21st birthday. You have no idea how miserable all of us will be today if he is unable to get here.

Grateful for your kind consideration,

Deb & family

Dear lady who tried on the $75 smartwool turtleneck in the store before i bought it-
Thanks so much for wearing Patchouli perfume when you go clothes shopping and trying on new clothes in stores. Now I have to wash my nice brand new expensive merino top before I can wear it- simply to get your stinky perfume out of it.

Could be worse....could be Shalimar. I hope you can get the stank out.

Dear Stingers,

Nyer Nyer I managed to escape much of your wrath today thanks to the vaseline trick.
Please stay away for a while as I train for the busso jetty swim.

Thank you.

Dear Person that gave me bath salts:

I'm a shower person, NOT a bath person.... BUT today after doing the Christmas Bird Count, coming home and not being able to get warm despite the warm clothes I changed in to. I remembered the bath salts and thought a hot soak would warm me up.

Thank you, I'm toasty warm now, and I smell nice too.

Dear neighborhood children--
You know, running across roads with wild abandon is probably not a good idea, especially when you don't look first.

Come on. Really.
You can afford to buy an expensive merino wool top and you're seriously complaining about this? You're better than that.

Thanks so much Zen. I needed that dressing down from you. I was displaying only self centered thoughtlessness in complaining about such a thing on a thread like this. I'm grateful you made me see how my post was a shameful embarrassment compared to all the more important ones here. I will strive to be more like you.

Then again, I figured there'd likely be consequences after 'The Little Details' thread.

Now girls, play nice in the sandbox, or I'll have to put the training wheels back on your bikes.



Once the snow melts. I ain't go'in out in the snow. I'm a fair southern flower not used to these things.

Hey, she started it!

And yes, if I buy a brand new piece of clothing and have to wash it before I can wear it because some woman tried it on while wearing stinky perfume...then I sure as heck will post my annoyance on Dear So and So, just like everyone else who posts here about inconsiderate acts by co-workers, irritating relatives, etc etc. I think it's very inconsiderate to wear heavy perfume (or heavy makeup) when trying on clothes in a store.
No need for anyone to dole out a superior lecture.

But fine!

Speaking of snow...

Dear Next Door Neighbor who is spending her winter in her second home in sunny Florida,
Next time you hire someone sight unseen to plow your driveway, can you please instruct him about where your property line ends, so he doesn't plow all your snow 6 feet over onto our lawn, all 22" of blizzard snow, carving big gouges out of our grass and then pushing the 4 foot mounds of your snow INTO our two lovely spruce trees that we bought and planted way over on OUR lawn, breaking many lower branches in the process? What kind of moron plows and smashes 4 foot snow banks right into beautiful growing spruce trees in the middle of a lawn?
