Dear So and So

TE not only needs a "Like" button, it needs a "Hug" button.

"Like"

Dear Dr. S--
Your slides...they make no sense to me. It didn't help that Dr. L has no clue how to use a computer and therefore they didn't get put online, but seriously? There doesn't appear to be any logical organization.

Second (or third or fifth - I have lost track) the hug to Snap.

Dear Uncle, that remark? Totally uncalled for. Thanks for helping me remember the one very compelling reason why I avoid family gatherings where you're present like the plague.

Sometimes the best thing is not to say anything in family situations, BUT, have you ever called your Uncle on his inappropriate remarks?

When I'm in those situations (all too often with my family, it seems), I remember Marni's advice (on another thread here). She suggested asking the offender, "Now why would you say something like that?", and I think that it really does work without starting a major row.
