    thank you.

    SO GLAD the surgery was successful. That's truly great news.
    For now, the only job you and your wonderful guy have is to try to rest and get some sleep. You all must be incredibly exhausted.

    Dear Bank,

    It's time to call it quits. It's not you, it's me. Ok it is you.

    I'm not naming you or anything but you're the bank that has initials W F.

    It used to be real good. You are the bank that took me in when I needed a home and a home loan, a single woman alone but with a good union job.

    But when I tried to get my mortgage to record low rates you advertise to new home owners you've refused. You always had some lame excuse. I know, I know the market's tanked here but I showed you that if I sold my newly remodeled home you'd get back what I owe. You would not budge. "It's not available to condos, it's not available in your county, we can't do this, we can't ...." and so on.

    It's not that November 5th is Bank Transfer Day, it's just that I ♥ my credit union. I've found someone new. In time you will too. Don't be sad. And if I have to go into your office please don't arrest me.

    I'll have to fax tons and tons of stuff. But from the time I called my credit union I'd been approved in less than 12 hours where you would not even return my calls, help me when I came in etc.

    This will save us hundreds each month, puts more money in my local community and mainly more money in our pockets

    Yay!! Congratulations!!!

    FWIW the same charming entity purchased one of our more local banks. It's been a rude awakening for some folks....they have not been easy or fun to deal with thus far.

    Whoo hoo, Mimi, that's awesome!!

    Dear girls-who-are-so-nasty-I-have-no-names-for-you,

    Depression is hard, horrible and its a lot of suffering. Saying publicly that someone with a depressive disorder has an attention seeking disorder because they're depressed is just nasty. I hope that one day, you or someone near to you suffers from really severe depression and you'll finally understand how much suffering it can put you through.

    That is awful!!! I used to suffer from severe depression and I lost ALL of my friends. It's a very difficult disease because it manifests in behavior that does alienate the sufferer from other people.

    Dear friend's DH,
    Somehow you have always managed to make me feel uncomfortable and subpar. Back in the day when I threw your wife, my BFF, a bridal shower and you DESTROYED all of the pictures b/c a few of us got her lingerie and you could see the garments in the background of the pictures is just bizarre and controlling (this was before digital cameras . . . its not like we posted them on FB!). And for the last few years you wouldn't ALLOW your wife a FB page or have her own email or phone. The only way I could connect with her was writing old fashioned letters, which was kind of fun, but still . . . . Anyways . . . the thing you did recently just put me back in college to those days when you made me feel amoral and awkward. But, you know what, I'm snapping out of it. I know that your behavior has to do with YOUR insecurities, not mine.
    Suck it.

    Oh wow. This man sounds scary. I hope your friend is ok. She could have had pictures of her cavorting around butt naked, and they would still be her pictures to do with as she pleases.
