Dear moles,

STAYOUTTAMYGARDEN!!!!!*

Let me know if this plea to the Universe helps! We have our own army o' moles that are tearing up our back yard and gardens. We've only managed to kill one, and that was purely by chance. They're evil.

Well, yelling at the rabbits to stayouttamygarden worked. After I put 2' chicken wire behind the electric fence.

LOL! I sure wish I had my childhood dog. He was a mole hunting Scottish Terrier. Our cats are useless when it comes to moles, although our newest stray brought me a field mouse last week.

Are there any non-toxic deterrrents to moles? We got rid of our chipmunks last year with a few drops of fox urine. They've yet to return!

Dear Powers-that-Be and St. Joseph,
Would you please point someone in direction to my house in Louisiana that's for sale, and get them to make me an offer???

Please? We know why I left, and why I really do need to cut ties to the Crescent City. I'd like to go back as a happy tourist, and not as a landlord.

Thank you.

Dear county humane society. You really have a lot of nerve. I emailed your executive director and foster coordinator a month ago asking if I could get a courtesy listing on your website--a service I know you offer--for a stray cat we were caring for. I indicated to you that we'd had her spayed and vaccinated. You also know that my husband and I similarly cared for three other strays last year, all on our own dime. You weren't particularly helpful with them, either. But it should be abundantly clear to you by now that we care about animals and have at least some disposable income with which to help them.

You never responded to my email. Yet, you had no problem sending me a letter yesterday asking for money. You won't be getting a contribution from me. I did donate to two other organizations who did offer to help me. Unlike you, they returned my emails within 24 hours and bent over backwards to help.

I've worked on NFP boards before. It's a thankless job, and I fully appreciate that you're likely stretched pretty thin. But here's the thing. When you're the NFP, you cannot afford to alienate those people in your community who are, or can be, partners and donors. You. just. can't. So, while I do care about the animals in our county, I'd prefer my money go elsewhere to help them.

Dear Team E ladies of Seattle,

How you manage these crazy steep hills I will never know. I didn't know people could build on hills these steep, let alone drive a car up and down them, let alone ride a bike up and down them? A lot of people must have mountain bike gearing. This place is crazy. Incredible. Gorgeous. Crazy.
