Dear Goodyear who put the rear bearing in my car 17k miles ago

You miserable fracking bastards!!!!!!! I can't believe the warranty is only for 12k or 1 year whichever is first. These stupid things should last for at least 100k, not 17k. If I could figure out how to make you pay to have the right rear bearing I would. And I will never recommend you to anyone again! And you lost out on the 800 for my timing belt and the easy grand for work on my hubby's car.

Oh and you could at least act like your sorry about this. Not just give the info and move on. Oh and you are double where I am going to take it to get it done. Hell you are a 100 more then anywhere else in town.

I don't have the money for this!!!!!

(backstory: Car making horrible road noise, go to have tires rotated since that usually is what fixes it. Nope right rear bearing is going out. I had these replace in the spring since the drivers just went out. Had them both done. 800 down the fracking drain)

Dear everyone,

Any tips for how to work in a bakery or produce department?

Love,
Me.

Dear old lady who nearly got run over this morning by the bus,

You don't need to stick your whole body out. Just your arm will do!

Love,
Me.

Dear Everyone,

Tonight is my first night at the new job. Any and all good mojo for staying awake will be helpful.

Sleepily,

Dear Mr. Rum,

I'm sorry you're in pain. Hopefully that and any swelling will go away quickly.

Having wisdom teeth pulled is no fun.

I know.

Love,
Mrs. Rum

Dear Child Rum,

I'm sorry I'm such a bad Mommy.

Please bear with me, okay?

Dear Rummy

If Mr Rum got a face-ice pack, tell him to keep it on for abut 48 hours. Helps with the swelling. Also, icecream is gooooood...

I had all 4 my wisdoms pulled when I was 19. Slept sitting up for 3 days and kept the ice pack on for 3 days = very little swelling and no bruising.

Love
Rads

PS: YOU ARE NOT A BAD MOTHER! DO NOT MAKE ME COME OVER THERE AND BEAT YOU WITH A PLUSHY!!!

Dear Irv's Body:

Please to be getting rid of this fever? I just had to call out sick AGAIN. If I can't go in to work Saturday I'm going to be unhappy, because I will be out of paid vacation time.

Teeth-chatteringly,
Irv

Dear Irv,

Try alternating ibuprofen and acetaminophen (Tylenol) every 4 hours. Also, drink lots of liquids!

Dear Rummy,

You are not a bad mom!!!!!


Dear College I Currently Attend,

Why do I no longer have a major when just 4 months ago I had one? Why must every single thing involving administration be extra difficult? And people wonder why I won't go to your nursing program...

[CaroPhoenix]

Dear Rads and TPM,

Thank you for the words.

And being beaten with a plushy actually sounds like fun.

I just think when your 6-year-old daughter has her back towards while you're tucking her in to bed because she's mad at you, it means something, right?

I was mean last night. And Child Rum was mad at me. She told me so! And then she just closed her eyes and went to sleep. We didn't even do our spelling game.

All sniffly now,
Rummy

Dear Rum,

I think it means she's 6. And if you were mean, it's because you're a normal, every day mom who does her best but isn't perfect. That doesn't mean you're a bad mother, just that you're human. I think caring shows that you're a good mom.

Dear TPM and BE,

Y'all make me giggle even in the face of my daughter having a complete and utter meltdown over batteries and the computer mouse.

Thank you.

And I agree with the author. Good Mommy Police need to be shot.

I'll just try a little harder and count to 20 instead of 10.

Hopefully,
Rummy

Dear Glee,

Why the hell must you be so damn addictive? I now have Thong Song in my head. Although I have one point to make: a hip-hop song and a musical number do NOT go well together.

Love,
me.

Dear take-home exam,

You are very annoying.

Love,
Me.

(Take home exam is basically where you have a bunch of short questions to answer within two days, you can use whatever resources you have at your disposal, but you MUST reference correctly)

[Shpepper]

Dear Everyone,

Thanks. I love it. Even though my feet hurt and I am not going to get enough sleep for awhile. It's still in Seattle and I Luvers it. ! ! !

Happily,

Pepper


Dear Rummy,

What they all said.

Pelting with a plethora of Plushies,

Pepper
