    Dear tube/tire gods-

    WTF is up with all the flats the past few days? 5 on the Saturday group ride?!?!?! Two at the guerillacross race yesterday?! Two for me today? I'm sitting here waiting for the LBS to open at 10:00 so I can get my ride in for the day. It's NOT FUNNY. STOP DOING IT.

    Dear Mama's Boy in the office,
    Why are you whining about it raining this morning and the possibility that you'll get your shoes wet this afternoon? It's 8 am, and you're not leaving the office for 8 more hours! You're "dress" tennis shoes will survive. Quit ur belly achen! Now we'll get to listen to your heavy sighs all freaking day as you stress about the weather and that you just know your feet will get wet, then you'll catch a cold, and be miserable. You're going to mama, she'll take care of you. Or maybe she'll finally tell you to get a spine, quit whining, and grow up.

    Dear Work Gods and Goddesses,

    Thank you for the wonderful job! Not only is it fabulous in so many ways, but we employees get two holiday lunches and $100 gift cards (which will really help my xmas shopping)

    Dear people--

    ARGH. Stop telling me that dairy/gluten/trendy food "allergen" of the week is causing my eczema. I've had it for 20 years. It's not diet-related--I can eat as much dairy/gluten/trendy "allergen" as I want and not have a problem, and I can totally abstain and have horribly red and itchy hands. It may work for you/your offspring/your cousin's best friend's college roommate, but it won't work for me. If you really want to know, it's stress-related. I'm going to go eat a bagel with cream cheese and wash it down with a big glass of milk. :P
    Oh, and stop bathing your offspring in anti-bacterial soap and let the kid go play in some dirt.

    Me.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Dear newly adopted kitty Sheba,
    Can you please keep in mind now that although you used to live as a street urchin under the porch of the kind woman who brought you to the humane shelter last October, that you are now a safe and beloved indoor feline living in the lap of luxury?
    I mean, was it really necessary for you to unexpectedly dash out the kitchen door between our legs this morning at 5Freakin' degrees into the snow and ice and run merrily down the driveway, thus scaring the crap out of us and causing us to chase after you coatless and gloveless in our socks in the snow before you disappear altogether?
    But Thank You at least for having enough common sense in your little kitty walnut brain to then have a "Hmmm..." moment, turn around, and dash back up the driveway to the porch and back into the house, to our amazed and extreme relief!

    Guilty, as charged.

    (only because my eczema is totally stress-and-gluten-related and disappeared completely when I cut it out)

    ((((Pax & mom)))) hopefully now that the doctors know what is wrong, they can help your mom get well. Loads of good vibes your way!

    Dear powers that be, training courses would be very welcome now. I know instinctively what will or will not fly in my classroom with my kids but I need the knowledge to justify why I will refuse to do an activity in the classroom. Instinct is not enough, I need good, solid knowledge to back up my arguments.

    (((Pax and Mom))). I'm so sorry to read this. Keeping both of you in my thoughts and prayers.

    Pax, sorry to hear about your mom. How old is she? I hope her illness can be managed. When we found my grandmother had the same thing, we thought it was a death sentence. But it was not.

    Angry toilet fixer-upper

    Dear tidy bowl man,
    Could you please design a toilet seat that automatically goes down on its own. Men find it far too difficult to do this small task on their own and we're sick of falling in the toilet.
