Dear So and So

[Xrayted]

Yay Pax and Mrs Pax!!!

Kit and I had the opportunity a few years ago to do the same. I happened to have the Friday off during the week they made it legal here in OR. It was originally supposed to start Jan 1 but it got held back for a bit in order to fulfill the required amount of political posturing that was proper and apparently necessary for something as constitutional as civil rights. So, Feb 8th, 2008, we headed over to the courthouse, got our paperwork, found out we needed a notary and... they don't provide those there. We called a friend who's a notary, she was elated that she could do that for us so we were back on track. We headed back to the courthouse just to find out that they don't take CC or ATM cards, only cash. We found an ATM down the street because, of course, they don't provide one of those either. (oh, we had to empty our pockets over and over for the security xray too.) Headed back to the courthouse and were #52 in our county. There were a few waiting behind us as well that day. The lady at the desk was very nice the whole time and wished us well. She asked if there was anything else as we were finishing up and I said "What, no rice?"


Good luck and I hope you two work out. Personally, I think you should have waited until you got to know one another a little bit better. 8,000 or so dates may not be enough. Just sayin'.

Love to you both!

LOL thanks Kit and X!! The state of IL requires 24 hours between license and ceremony, we sat around in the meantime jokingly asking one another "do you think we're rushing into this?".

Dear Crazy Driver: Do you not understand the concept of red lights? I watched you speed up to two red lights only to then slam on your brakes and stop halfway through the intersection. I tried to steer clear of you the rest of the way into downtown. When I lost sight of you, I thought "good riddance." Imagine my horror, then, when I saw you in my rearview mirror as I was stopped at a red light; coming up behind me, going way too fast and slamming on your brakes. You barely missed rearending me, didn't you?

What the heck is wrong with you? Learn how to drive before you kill someone.

Dear Coworker,

You keep claiming you aren't "competitive." And yet, I just saw you tear up over a Tae Kwan Do testing because your 7 yo DD got a higher score than you. Every week I listen to your complaints about your DD's wobbly kicks and strikes and stances. It just seems so wrong that you are a 40 yo woman competing with a 7 yo, let alone your own child. It's twisted.

Have you considered that your performance is being graded compared to YOUR peers and DD's to her own peers? It seems logical that there would be different expectations for 7 year olds than for adults. To go home and cry, lock yourself in your room, and complain to the Grand Master about having a lower score than your own daughter is wrong. Just wrong.

I don't really know what else to say.

Eek, Limewave. That is twisted. I feel sorry for her daughter. I can't imagine that situation is going to get better any time soon.

Dear RunKeeper app -

While I appreciate your reminder to continue entering my daily activity, I don't WANT to be taking a break. Nor do I need to set a goal to get back on track. I just need my leg to quit hurting, so thanks for adding insult to injury...

Sincerely,
Grumpy Edgy Jesse who Can't Run

Any teacher worth their belt would be looking at that behavior too. THAT might be part of why her score is low. Yes, TKD is a competitive sport but it's a martial art and you compete to master yourself too.

Just heard from my insurance company about how much the dog bites is going to cost me....worse than I feared. Sigh....

Going to go ride some of this stress off on my bike. I could almost purchase another bike for what this will cost me, so am VERY glad I already have the mountain bike
