Dear mono,

thank you for the update. Hopefully the movie will stop shooting soon and he can go home and there will be a happy ending.

Dear Self,

You are the bestest cook ever! (Aside from NanaRum, of course XD).

Love,

Dear body,

What other changes are you going to put me through? You've misbehaved through infertility, hysterectomy, menopause, a lifetime of asthma, mass cell disorder, IgE disorder, multiple chemical sensitivities, IBS and now this.... this horrible grinding pain and constant nausea that made me so desperate for sleep and relief from the pain that I ate one of my college aged kids pot brownies a few nights ago and last night scarfed the remainder of the Mr's left over Vicodin. This behavior has to stop! It's screwing with my ability to do any daily activities and making work hellish.

Cut it out right now!

Calulu

Dear person who left a voicemail on my cell phone,

Oh, man.

That was hellaciously vulgar, obscene and of a pornographic nature to make angels weep.

Becks Seal of Approval, especially because at the end you said "Have a good night. Take care."

Wrong numbers can be so fun.

Ready to call you Papi,

Dear Rummy,

Always get yourself a comfortable pair of shoes and a comfortable bed, because if you're not in one, you're in the other.

Encouragingly,

MMM



Dear Mono,

Sending lots of good thoughts to you and yours in the hope of a quick recovery.

Sincerely,

MMM



Dear R,

Thank you for a little reminder of a very happy memory. It really brightened the day.

Hoping it's not so long until next time,

MMM

Dear CS,

I made oatmeal cookies! They tasted good and I didn't burn them!
I also managed to make them work with no eggs, and no cinnamon (I used other spices.)

*offers these cookies*

Dancingly happy,

Dear RP,

I may be able to help you find other recipes without eggs, if you're interested. The high school I went to was lacto-vegetarian, and I'm still in contact with a few people who follow that particular path.

Dear, wonderful, darling wine -

You are yummy. Please continue being so.

--The One Drinking You

My Wonderful Friend,

I'm still trying to figure out how to respond to your heartwrenching post. I adore you so much, and have no idea how to tell you what an amazing person you are. Everything I write comes out sounding pedantic and staid, when I want to express the depth of my adoration for you. Please understand that I'm not ignoring what you said, I'm just helpless in the face of your eloquent writing.

Love, always and forever,
--Kia

[RootedPhoenix]

Dear KiaKat,

That would be awesome! I love trying new stuff. My cookies had butter and shortening in them, so I don't think they were vegetarian, but I'm sure that there's a tweak that'd make them vegetarian.

I'm not vegetarian myself, but one of my friends is, so I'll be happy to find things I can share with him.

Making them without eggs was an adventure, and I won't tell people I used tofu in place of one of the eggs....although the reactions could be very entertaining...!

(Found a bunch of egg substitutes here. I am awed at this list! So. Awesome.)

--RP, adventurous

[KiaKat]

Dear RP,

A great substitute for eggs is 1C applesauce with 1T white vinegar. Especially in cakes.

I'll get more recipes from my friends - I know they'd be happy to share!

Also see if you can get Quick Vegetarian Pleasures or Moosewood Cookbook from the library. Amazing recipes in both of those. And they're ones you can adapt for yourself by adding chicken, beef, pork, or seafood, and making a couple changes to broth bases.

--Kia

P.S. Butter is ok, as long as the recipient isn't vegan. Most vegetarians will eat dairy and eggs. I just happened to go to a school that was part of a religion where eggs were seen as the potential for life, and therefore verboten on grounds or sponsored trips.

Dear Khan:

I'm impressed you can fit your entire fist in your mouth. I guess it's normal for you to be slurping at it every chance you get.

Please be a good baby bear at my writing group tonight.

Love,

Mommy



Dear Husband's PI:

So you don't give Husband any papers to review for months, then you dump two on him a couple weeks before his lab meeting? Seriously? Are you malicious, or just that clueless?

Annoyed,

Ana

PS: He said there is no way the one he just did will ever get published in the elite journal they have submitted it to. It's a lost cause.

[monolayth]

dear everyone,

he was told about the movie and was amused. he also saw his hair today. he took it well.

happy he has his humor back,
mono

Dear depression,

can you PLEASE go away?! I'm sick of having you in my body all the time.

Love,
me.

Dear CSers,

Does anyone know is St. Johns wort is actually effective for depression and what the side effects are?

Love,
me.

Dear family,

Please don't hate me,

Love Me.

[RootedPhoenix]

Dear depression,
