Dear So and So

[tulip]

She mentioned that had recently married. She was driving a car insured by her new in-laws. Oops!

And she mentioned it to an attorney, no less. Oops is right! I hope you are not injured.

I actually felt sorry for her as she seemed upset. She'd never been in an accident, so I walked her through what typically happens. She was a nice young woman, and we were very cordial to one another. Thankfully, my neck and back aren't sore, and I assume the car is fixable. So, it's all okay.

Plus, my lovely husband brought me some tulips yesterday. Isn't that sweet?

Dear Tropical Cyclone Bianca, (http://www.watoday.com.au/environmen...128-1a7lj.html)

Shoo, Shoo!

Please don't land near Busselton...I really won't appreciate swimming into large groups of stingers on the 6th becuase of you!!!

Also, farmers down south are already under pressure w dry conditions so don't even think about turning that wind up!! We don't need out of control bushfires..

Go bother some uninhabited island somewhere west of us in the Indian Ocean.

Shooo!Shoo!

Shoo I say!

Wow I love this thread all of a sudden.

Dear, dear male friend: please don't yell at your girlfriend as she tries to learn to manage a road bike, with clipless pedals, in traffic for the first time. That's not helping. If you are nice, she might end up liking this sport. If not, you're going to end up riding on your own, or with a good ol sausagefest. I assume that's not why you encouraged her to ride in the first place, right? Think it through, put on your patience hat.

I'll give you some crap when we aren't all together, so as not to make you look like the idigit you are bein in front of her. But I'm sure she can tell, so, yknow.

Dear Winter,

Enough already! You have been quite generous since November, but frankly, it is getting old! I have been able to ride my bike exactly ONCE since December 1. My beautiful car is unrecognizable from the amount of cr*p from the road and I've given up washing it because as soon as I spend the money to wash it, the stuff returns the next day. I can't keep throwing money at it and my car isn't happy.

NOW I hear we might get an inch of ice or more Tuesday or Wed, and points NW of us might get 10 inches of snow! Please give us a break, I do NOT want to use my vacation time because I won't drive to work during/after an ice storm. I think we might also be running out of salt and sand in the area and you have already given us more than a foot of snow than we normally get.

Please cease and desist,

Thank you.

Catrin: +1. I think Cleveland usually gets more snow than Indy anyway, but I'm getting really sick of it. I haven't taken the bike out because if it's not snowing, it's wet and icky or far too cold for me to be comfortable.

Oh dear. Part of the reason I like riding on my own is because DBF isn't around! His mom told me when I first started riding, "You know, most cycling guys want you to be successful. The problem is, they want you to be successful right now!"

Dear body--
Stop. I can't concentrate. I can't actually get off the couch or out of the chair for any more than about 30 seconds. I know it's only one or two days a month, but I would like to get on with my life.

..."You know, most cycling guys want you to be successful. The problem is, they want you to be successful right now!"

Funny!

Hope you feel better soon, Owlie.
