Dear So and So

[pikato]

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.
Paige

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!!!!

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.

Concerned about little "Pugsly",
Your Dog Loving Neighbor

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.

[snapdragen]

chick - where in Alaska are you?

No offense, but sister is nutz if she didn't enjoy AK! I can't think of a more beautiful place.

Dear Chickwhorips,

Are you even a little bit nervous about North Korea? Am I the only person in the US who is disturbed by the missile launchings?? Maybe it's because I was a kid during the Cuban deal.

Is your sister my Mother?

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

snap - i'm in a bush town called cold bay. its the last "city" at the tip of the penninsula before the aleutian islands start.

nanci - no i'm not to worried. if the did try to attack us they would get less than 60 people. i figure they would go for anchorage if they wanted to hit alaska.

ksh - thanks! i will keep enjoying it up here and rub it in her face to.... na i'm not like that. i just know it kills her that i'm happy. i don't have to say a word.

the sad thing is i've had everyone in town ask me if she's always in a bad mood or just like that when she met them. poor thing can't even crack a smile.

anyone that is a happy person and can smile is more than welcome to come and visit me!

Dear new sister-in-law,

I am so glad that you thought your "fit" little self could beat the fat sister-in-law at riding bikes. What really beat me down was the fact that after a mile and a half, you had to stop and get off your bike. Then there's the 8 miles in an hour and 20 minutes. HELLO!!!! (I now know how my coaches used to feel when they would have to slow down to 15 mph ). Next time dear sister-in-law, don't judge a person because they are fat. Remember how your fat sister-in-law smoked you when you encouraged her to ride at her normal pace. By the way, your 'fat' husband (not fat, all muscle) losing weight (no longer working out) is going to get him killed when he is out arresting some punk. Hope you enjoy his money while you can.

[chickwhorips]

dear sister (again),

are you two or 41? who hangs up on someone in such a childish mannor and then turns off their cell phone? kinda sucks when someone confronts you on your childlike attitude doesn't it? grow up and be your age. you are a mother of two teenagers so act like it. they need a mother, not a friend or a mother that acts younger than them.

grow up!

Dear Current Administration,

Nanci is not the only one who's worried about North Korea. Lots of us are. Are any of YOU paying attention? Any ideas that might actually prove useful? Your citizens are anxiously awaiting some kind of constructive response on your part. Any time now would be good.

[KnottedYet]

Dear Disturbed Co-Worker,

Your obsession with me is unhealthy. You need counselling. Your constant complaining about me to everyone is disrupting the clinic. Telling staff that it's all me, and you aren't doing anything to cause this, falls flat when they realize I never complain about you or speak badly about you. Telling patients I put electrodes on them wrong, or saying "Why did she do that?" "Why did she use 4 instead of 2 today?" "She put those in a weird place" is extremely unprofessional. Bear in mind that I am your superior, though I treat you as an equal because you are very good at your job.

Today one of the therapists begged me to do something about you. Tomorrow I will talk to one of the owners of the clinic about you.

And thank you for not calling me at home again and being abusive for 49 minutes.

You need help, and it's not the kind I can give.

How cool! I've been out your way, but only as far as Kodiak Island. My first trip I did the real touristy stuff and went to Barrow. I love Alaska, just not sure I'm suited to live there.

anyone that is a happy person and can smile is more than welcome to come and visit me!

**snap begins dragging out her suitcase** C'mon girls! Road Trip! (and Ferry Trip, and whatever else...Bush Plane Trip!!)

Dear funky spirits/friends/whomever.

Thank you for keeping our friend christina safe last july 7th. Lucky she was at work & not on the bus round the corner...There's nothing like hearing from someone you care about when S*** happens...

Thank you again for keeping Andrew safe too. I'm sure his family appreciate that he was running late for work(he works on the underground...)

To all the families/friends/co workers who lost loved ones that day, our hearts go out to you. For the survivors, keep your heads up, be strong & cry if you need to.

Take care & we haven't forgotten.
