Dear So and So

[Crankin]

Malkin, of course behaviors are exhausting! I spent the morning with a 4 year old who was tantruming after a few months of progress. I really would rather be counseling adults at times like this.
I just thought that it sounded like Alexis had no support at all and could use some alternative strategies.
Mimi, my dad's mom had a "younger" boyfriend. She was 89 and he was 72. All the other yentas at Century Village were extremely jealous. I never met him, but my dad did. She outlasted him .

Dear Brain,
Please sort yourself out, I have plans for tomorrow and sunday and they don't include waking up with another migraine. Someone has to help me eat the King Cake that MMac sent.

Sign me,
the person who is really tired of your blood vessel cramps.

The boyfriend is 6 years younger than my 81 year old mother. He said "age is just a number" but she won't tell him her age...

Dear Young 20somethings I work with,

Yes, it did make me feel left out when you all went to breakfast this morning and didn't invite me, while talking about it loudly in front of me. But rest assured I would have definitely turned you down as being malicious and gossipping about others is not one of my favorite pasttimes.

Sincerely,

An observant coworker who believes in karma

Crankin' and Malkin, we have some kind of behavioral intervention plans for each child in school but with my students, what worked 3 months ago most likely doesn't work now which is the situation I've been facing since this school year started. I'm about at my wit's end with the situation and consultation with the school psych and my supervisor doesn't really add anything to help with the situation. Crankin', I'll definitely PM you, thanks for your offer.

Dear neighbors:
Could you have sexytime on a less squeaky piece of furniture? I really don't care what you do. I just don't want to know that you're doing it.

Could you have sexytime on a less squeaky piece of furniture?

ROFL. I know exactly how you feel... My first appt had very, very thin walls and you knew exactly what your neighbors were up to.

Good luck!

reminds me of an unforgettable night we had in a motel in Phoenix. Early to bed, we were most surprised to clearly hear the couple next door come home around 1am and then proceed to squeak, thump, ETC for HOURS and HOURS...

We about went nuts. The funny part was, we let another cyclist share our room with us and at first she thought it was us.. We all laid there snickering for a long time...

my Dad's GF is as least 5 years older than he is (she won't say) She is very sweet but quite blind and frail. Her daughter is my challenge as my father enjoys his evening cocktail and she has an absolute fit about her mother drinking. Both dad and the gf have dementia so telling him not to fix her a cocktail is a waste of time. I figure it is the only pleasure he has left and who am I to judge, the daughter "says" she understands but I avoid her whenever I see her at the assisted living as I don't need the lecture. She belongs to a religion that believes alcohol is a sin...
As he has aged, his filter is really going, one of his favorite sayings is "can't get it up, can't get it out" Way TMI for me

The boyfriend is 6 years younger than my 81 year old mother. He said "age is just a number" but she won't tell him her age...

Sorry Crankin. I didn't intend any snark or to belittle behavior plans and support. Just putting it out there that tantrums (and other behaviors) can be exhausting even in the best of circumstances.

Dear internets,

Thank you for making the Gaerne G.Emma mtb shoe available to US shoppers. I love you.

:cue angels singing:

[Biciclista]

wow, that's quite the shoe! too bad it's white

[Reesha]

Of course the men's colors are amazing-- electric blue, fire red. It really burns my biscuit. But I'll be using this on the road for my bike tour so with any luck they'll stay white-ish
