    Dear Dishnetwork peeps,

    Your sound/picture quality and customer service is great.

    You never laugh (to my face) when the problem turns out to be "M'am, you have your remote on TV, not SAT" or "M'am is the DVR plugged in? Very good, is there anything else I can help you with? (like how to tie your shoes)".

    I'm sure after I'm off the phone you group message the office "hey, got a live one! And she works for .... "*

    And you're customer service is union and in the US, not that people in India aren't faaaaaabulous and need and deserve good jobs too.

    Thank you Dishnetwork guy, OLN was on before I even finished chatting about the Tour with you.

    Thank you for carrying Free Speach TV and tons of cool educational channels and rural channels too.

    Could you please just get Logo so I could catch re-runs of the movie about ALC 5?

    *disclosure to TE I work for AT&T, formerly known as SBC, formerly known as Pacific Bell, formerly known as AT&T.....an affiliate of Dish, now back to your regular TE program.

    Dear Chatty Cathys,

    That sure was a nice ride today, all rural and rolling and little county roads. Um, did you even notice that minute or two when we actually had traffic in both directions at the same time? How about the fact that the oncoming traffic was having to pull over far enough to drive in the weeds on the 18 inch shoulder? Maybe next time you can stop flapping your lips long enough to suck it in and ride single file for a few hundred yards. I didn't mean to be rude when I pulled around and rode away, you seemed like a nice bunch of gals, but I really didn't want anyone assuming I was with you after you drove several vehicles very near the ditch.

    Share the road,

    Dear Upstairs Neighbor,

    I have patiently put up with your running up your stairs, loud music, the bass in your car, the high schoolers you hang out with and your strange habit of vaccuuming several times a week in the middle of the night (yes, we can hear that).

    I cannot tolerate you leaving your dog on your patio. In case you are new to the area, it gets REALLY HOT in Texas in July. Last time I checked pugs do not tolerate heat well. I hope the little guy have a nicknamed Pugsly has water. I have tried to discuss this with you, but your lack of compassion makes it hard.

    Since DH will not let me dognap Pugsly and I know our apartment complex will do nothing, I will call the local animal control next time he is left out. Your stupid excuses annoy me:
    a) forgot him b) was having the carpet cleaned (2 weeks) c) he likes the fresh air.

    Your biggest challenge isn't someone else.
    It's the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs and the voice inside that yells "CAN'T".
    But you don't listen. You just push harder.
    And then you hear the voice whisper "CAN".
    And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.

    Dear ex-coworker who has been hounding me to go on Wednesday night rides:

    OK, I finally gave in. I talked with my grad school prof, explained I would not be able to be in class tonight, turned in my homework, and am leaving work a little bit early in order to get to LBS shop to put air in my tires (refer to my tire inflation thread in newbies section). I even emailed you last week to let you know that finally I would be going.

    Why then, friend o'mine, do you reply "Oh, yeah, I might not go tonight"!!!?? Your booty has been hounding me every few days with an email about riding with you!!!

    Grr.

    Dear Female Junk mail (pamphlet) deliverer.

    Please read Queensland's LAWS when it comes to traffic on a footpath. there's no need to swear because you feel intimidated.

    I did the courteous thing and slowed down and rang my bell when I approached you. You were not paying attention as you were flicking through the Junk mail you were delivering. ADD to that fact you were walking in the MIDDLE of the path and not on the left (even walking on the right would have been sufficent)

    There is NO bike path or Bike Lane on Old Cleveland Road. (one of the "BUSY" arterials coming out of Brisbane City) Likewise the footpath is not marked with a "Peds only" or "No Bikes" logo.

    THEREFORE DESPITE WHAT YOU SAY, I have every damn right to be on the footpath as you do! I gave WAY to you but you still hurtled abuse at me!!!
    I do not appreciate it!!

    Next time I swear I'm gonna hop off and Have a go at you! Cyclists have rights too!!!!

    PPSSSTTT.. sounds like you should call the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency- for all our TE ladies outside of the USA) on your upstairs neighbors too!

    And I hope that poor little puppy makes it out alive!

    Dear self,

    There will be no procrastination considering the volume of work you need to get done in the next 2 weeks. While I know you tend to avoid things til the last minute when things get overwhelming, now is not the time.

    dear sister,

    thanks for coming up to visit me in beautiful alaska and making it the worse week. your attitude the whole time was bad. you didn't even want to try and enjoy yourself. you made quite the impression on the town when asked what you thought of it here and first thing was "i coudln't live here". all you wanted to do was sit inside, play solitare and watch twilights zone reruns. even though we had the best weather the whole time you were here.

    and thanks for even trying to watch the tour de france with us. you didn't even give it a chance. (for the record i do think men in pink jerseys are sexy!) what's with the snide little comments anyhow?

    glad you got on the plane to visit some girl you've never met in anchorage. you were more happy about a few hours with her in the city, then the whole time with me enjoying what bush alaska has to offer.

    sincerly,
    your little sister
    (who is enjoying life far more than you ever will!)

    ps- thank you bear gods for having the beautiful bears come out when the time was right, and not to close. i enjoyed seeing the bears, even if my sister didn't.

    Is your sister my Mother?

    Well, keep enjoying life up there and let her be miserable.
