Dear So and So

[NbyNW]

Has anyone here actually used the stickers that come with "Eats, Shoots & Leaves," or seen them in use?

I've seen them on a car or two.

Dear Taxes,

I won't cheat you.
Please don't cheat me.

Dear Mother Nature,

Must you be so evil? An earthquake during a busy period in a really nice city?

NZ's just recovering from the Sept earthquake & the Pike River Mine disaster. Did you have to break hearts again?

Dear cat:

Remember the phrase "look before you leap"? You just landed in my cereal bowl, dummy.

Please let me eat breakfast in peace!

Thanks,
your granola-covered owner

Dear Jess
I hope the cat at least had milk to lick off his/her paws.

Sincerely
a concerned cat person.

Yeah, what's happening down there? I also read last night about a whole pod of pilot whales beaching themselves not far from Wellington.

That's way too much bad stuff. I hope Mother Nature is listening.

[Owlie]

It's way too much. I have a friend who has been staying in the Christchurch area. He's okay, thankfully. (He somehow managed to post to Facebook.)

Dear Self,

Stop worrying about today's conference call, and next week's session and presentation. Get your thoughts together, take a deep breath, and it will be fine.

Dear guys who stole my boyfriends boots out of my front hall,

I had a weird feeling about you being in the building, and parking where you weren't supposed to. Since you looked sketchy, I wrote down your license plate. Nothing may come from that, but I suspect you will get what's coming to you somehow. Those boots were 10 years old and in need of resoling. I don't think they are worth whatever it is that comes your way.



Dear Self,

You are very lucky to have not left your bike in the hall right then, like you often do right after a ride. Take that as a gift, this lesson learned. It's much easier and less expensive to replace his boots than your bike.

[channlluv]

Amen to that, redrhodie.

Roxy, wondering how our friends in NZ are doing

Dear Very Obnoxious Woman in my class:
Do you think the professor is your own personal tutor? You ask a question every 2-3 minutes and wildly wave your hand, saying,"wait, wait," when you can't remember what the professor said and haven't got it typed on your lap top.
This class is hard enough without this, and at 7-9:30 PM, it's intolerable. Everyone else is rolling their eyes and sighing loudly; I might just be the one to say something.
Enough. May 11 is a long way away.

Dear Universe:

What did I DO???? If you just let me know, I promise -cross my heart and hope to die double pinkey swear - I'll never do it again. I won't even be tempted.

First the DVTs and pulmonary embolism, then the torn meniscus and knee surgery, then the breast cancer. Wasn't that enough? Did you have to make my employer decide that they no longer need my position? Was that nice? Was that necessary? Are you enjoying this? I'm not. I certainly won't enjoy the 'freedom' of no longer receiving a paycheck.

Please stop. All I really want to do is ride my bike and be a good person.

Thank you.

Dear universe,

Send some breaks MomOnBike's way. Now.

Dear universe,

Ditto. That's a lotta stuff to deal with. Hang in there MOB as best you can and I'll say a prayer that better stuff comes your way ASAP.
