    LOL - I am always reminded of the story of Goldilocks and the 3 bears as told by Cheech & Chong (or was it the Firesign Theater?) - the little ones went out to play, and when they came home found out that their parents had moved out. Without telling/taking the little ones! So far removed from the story it now sounds barbaric, but it seemed pretty funny at the time. Then again mind altered perceptions were easily amused 40 years ago.

    Anyway I hope that all continues to go well, and that you and Donald will get lots of rest and recovery - I am sure you both need it.

    Dear Woman With Whom I Share a Public Bathroom:

    WTF? I know that you put several layers of toilet paper on the toilet seat before you use it and that it takes you a good 10 minutes to prep the toilet for use. I'm not sure why you don't use the handy dandy toilet seat covers from the dispenser on the the wall, but whatever. But why in God's name do you throw away half-used rolls of toilet paper, too? I just used the bathroom and there are two rolls with a considerable amount of TP still on them in the trash just from today. I'm guessing there's at least another one from this morning too. That's a whole lotta wasted toilet paper. I understand that you likely have some OCD thing going on--and I am sympathetic--but please get help. What you're doing is wasteful and, I assume, indicative of other OCD behaviors that are, at least to an outside observer, not particularly normal.

    Dear Powers That Be,

    Please don't take away my massage therapist right now. I don't know what happened, but please let her keep working.

    I read your mention of this with fascination sometime back and am astonished that it continues. Does management know? Do you have a clue as to whom it is???

    Lord; I forgot I had already complained about this. Sorry for the repetition of my rants. I think I know who she is, but we have no management per se. I work for the government. The people who manage the building are not our managers and her boss is not my boss. I wish there was a way to address it but I would have to step on some serious toes to do so. It is weird though. I just don't get why the tp rolls are trashed.

    That is most odd. Could you leave a note in the bathroom - taped to the stall? I might try that.....

    Dear Children,

    Sorry you do not understand right now why I shut myself in my room. The complaining, the screaming, the complaining and screaming some more . . . I'm afraid if I do not lock myself in my room, words will spew out of my mouth that I will never be able to take back.

    Dear Dog,

    While I should know better than to leave my Patagonia active hipsters/briefs anywhere near your grasp, you should know better than to eat my precious undies. I am never surprised anymore, only poorer and poorer. Help me save $$$ by not eating my nice underwear.

    love,
    your companion

    Aw! This reminds me of how my mom used to lock us out of the house when we were annoying as kids. We were never grounded, just locked outside to roam our expansive property and blow off steam.

    Feel better!
