Dear Retailers,
No, I don’t want to “Get a Head Start on Christmas!”. It’s only September. It’s still in the 80s. One holiday at a time so please back off.
Bah humbug,
Dos Chicos
When you vociferously criticize protesters, be they football players, college students, or BLM you’re showing that you’re more outraged about their desire for equality and social justice than you are about the unequal conditions that cause them to protest.
Sweet pup…my thoughts are with you and your “mom and dad” today as they help you transition from your wonderful “forever home” they gave you to your next “forever” resting place. Without you, our family would have never got our first rescue pup - our first pet ever - that mirrored you in looks and personality - because you were such a good example. You and our dog has always been “brothers from another mother” - and I am so glad I hugged you tight at our last visit in August. May your travels today be easy and peaceful and thank you for the lasting impression you made on our lives. RIP. <3
The ramifications of the “laws of unintended consequences” are getting close. Could be a train wreck that everyone but the people in charge can foresee.
Now the fly has found a mate, and they are doing aerial ballet between me and my computer screen. Oh well, time to return to scrubbing the woodwork anyway.
If you would like me to do X, just please tell me. Don’t say “are you willing to do X” and then text me “just say yes, ok?” Because you weren’t really asking me, then.
I just discovered the “ignore” option under my preferences on this site. Sweet! Now I don’t have to read that poster’s offensive remarks anymore.
Looks like someone skipped the comportment class at U Chicago.
I really should start an ‘over packers anonymous’…
Ironic that the grown man that won’t ride the subway alone in cities he has visited multiple times wants to send his DS on Greyhound his very first trip back to campus. You do know the station is 30 minutes away from the Greyhound station and would require using multiple local bus systems to get to campus?!?
Maybe I should put it in the bragging thread, but I finally remembered that I had some fly strips and put one up, and now those pests are HISTORY!!
So exactly who did you think was going to pick up your $375 tab… ???
I can’t believe American tourists would try to sneak out on their bill, in a place where people really need the money.
Thank goodness I knew you’d headed for a cab in the parking lot.
I’m glad you got caught, and more glad we asked for out own check. So much for friendly resort guests suggesting you share their table.
I truly wish I had no idea how anyone I know is voting this year, none whatsoever.
Dear potential companion for my elderly parent, I have no problem, in theory, with you deciding your time is worth twice as much as you initially agreed to, but why did it take you six weeks after we agreed on a price to make that change, now I flights and plans and, no, I am not paying you double. I’ll eat the cancellation fees before I go for that plan.
It will take a full year to unravel and rebuild. It will be a difficult and sad time.
No point in blaming anyone anymore.
They are posts, not novellas.
Thank you, dear H, for going to the grocery store during my incapacitation. But when I asked you if you got more English muffins, and you answered “No, because you had one left” does that mean you plan to go to the grocery store again today?
The criticism about your phone going off in a practice session is right on target. No, you can’t have your phone on with patients. No, it’s not “their problem.” Actually, just silence it as soon as you start your work day. And just because you previously answered it and a supervisor was okay with it, doesn’t mean at all that this is professional. Sometimes the overreaching professionalism police is right on target. Again, ARE YOU FOR REAL?
Dear, dear cousin. Surviving your “fall” may be worse than your intended outcome that evening. So many surgeries, so much pain.
To my H: just because you “forgot” my birthday (after being together for 30 years), that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t have appreciated a belated gift. Or a card. Or something. Just saying, “oops, I forgot” on the day isn’t really ok.
