Dear So and So

[Reesha]

Dear Mall Parking Garage,

How dare you try to take out my roof-mounted bike when I drove into your recesses! You should know that your efforts failed: the bike is fine. You did succeed in mangling my ancient Thule tray, but that is no big thing. I still have a bike. Nya-nya-nya-nya-nya!

[marni]

hmmmm, she knows how to get your attention

make sure and get her chipped if she isn't yet. It's not as good as a bell on the collar but if she gets rid of the collar and gets out it may help.

Our kitties love to run around the house naked, but I'm a mean mommy and insist that they put their collars back on. Of course they are totally house cats but rules is rules and mama don't allow no naked kitties round here.

Dear Fire Gods,
I know it's a tender box out there, but could you relax a little in central Texas? You have a massive fire going out of control too close to my Dad's house. Dad has been through enough in life, and doesn't need to loose his house too boot. Granted that's true for most people.

And Dearest God of Rain - they'd appreciate a vist over in central Texas. You dumped a whole lot of water to the east. Were you directionally challenged? You should have gone WEST.

Thank you.

Sign me, worried daughter.

to which all the kitties sing:
we don't care what mama don't 'low
we're gonna run 'round nekkid anyhow
mama don't 'low no nekkid kitties 'round here

Mimi, so glad to hear that RD is feeling well after his treatment and that you had a good bike ride in the sun!
Good also that you got rid of the throat infection.

to whom it may concern
I really am ok with having an 80 year old mother out dating. But how do I know when to worry when she's not home when she's normally home or instead just think, oh, she's out with her new date?

[lph]

Mimi, you have a really cool family

[Crankin]

Mimi, when my grandmother was in her late 80s, she began dating a "younger man." He was 75. All of the other women in the condo complex were quite jealous. I guess this man was very nervous about meeting my dad, worrying that he would not approve. But, my dad flew to Florida and met him, and he was a very nice man. It didn't seem weird at all. I would not worry about your mom.

Dear Printer:
You picked a very inconvenient time to stop working. Just as well, I suppose, because you won't talk to the new computer. I just don't want to spend money right now!

Dear pharmacokinetics:
You might be the course that kills me, but I'm going to go down fighting. I guess it's time to talk to the professor before he really gets going...

Dear Allegra-D company,

Now that you have made Allegra-D "over the counter" instead of by prescription I feel like a druggie looking for a fix. Handing over my driver's license to every store and then coming home with TEN lousy tablets is a joke. Is there a law stating you can only put 10 in a box? I got a month's worth just for twenty-five bucks until you made this decision.

Both DH and I use it which means we are constantly altering stores because you can't sell me TWO stupid boxes at one time.

Off to buy another box from a different store now..care to pay for my gas?

Does the ten-pills per purchase apply to call decongestants or just Allegra-D?

[tulip]

They are coming down on meth lab folks.

[Biciclista]

yeah you can blame your friendly neighborhood meth lab for that one..


To whom it may concern,
Raleighdon is still riding, but he is slowing down. Doctor very pleased with where he is at this point. I think it would be very strange to be a chemo doctor because what they do is they poison you as much as they can without killing you!!!

As DH listed his symptoms to the doctor, the doctor nodding his head, like yes, good, next, yes, good, next.... It's the strangest thing.

[Veronica]

I have the same problem with Advil Cold & Sinus - because of the meth - but I can get more than ten pills at a time. I just ask them to give me the maximum amount allowable.

Bethany, I'll add this bit of unsolicited advice, too. I have bad allergies all year round and usually have some level of congestion almost all of the time. Unless and until it causes a headache or bad drainage or I'm already sick with a sinus infection, I try to avoid decongestants. I find the regular use of a neti pot or sinus rinse to be as effective and it doesn't elevate your heart rate or blood pressure like a decongestant can. Plus, you don't have to show a driver's license or raise a red alert with law enforcement to buy it. You might talk to your respective doctors about weening yourself off of Allegra D and switching to plain old Allegra.
