Dear Dennis:

I recently acquired your latest movie, The Color of Freedom. As always, your performance was superb. And I'm not just saying that because you are my very, very, very favorite celebrity or because Borders didn't get it to me on time thus saving me $30. (I would have gladly paid it anyway, but my money is tight so anything free is very welcome in my household) It was really that good.

Hopefully there will be an Oscar nomination in your future for this movie. I mean, if Forrest Whitaker won one for his portrayal of Idi Amin, surely you should win one for your portrayal of Nelson Mandela. Should you need me to campaign on your behalf for a nomination give me a call or send me an email. You know I love to talk while supporting a cause. I'm busy with volunteering with Obama's campaign but I always have time for you.

Still your biggest fan ever,

9dstpm

I just know I am hurt and angry moreso at myself and I want to know will those parts in my life be restored. Also, I don't know if I am hearing your voice or praying correctly so I can hear your voice. I hope that all these points are delays and not denials.
The current point that has me hurt, Lord, is something I really know I reacted improperly due to miscommunication. I hurt the other party and after humbling myself, I saw everything. I want the other party to forgive me, and to grow with me. I am human, and I showed how human I was repeatedly. Lord, show me what I can do to be back in the other party's good graces, and to rebuild their trust and love. I have been repenting my ignorance of the miscommunication, but is that enough? Something wasn't right, and I am trying to correct it...and I also pray that the re-connection is in your will. I hope that at this time the re-connection is a delay and not a denial. I just want to hear from you, Lord.

Your ever progressing student

Nia X...from one KY native to another...we all make mistakes...that is what makes us human. And the fact that you realized the error of your ways and admitted it is very mature. However, that is ALL you can do. If the individual refuses to accept your apology, then that is an issue that has nothing to do with you. But anyway...holla back!

Dear Matress Wearhouse guy,
Thanks for the HUGE discount on the queen matress you sold me yesterday, it was a huge help to my budget, because I had no intentions of buying one yesterday, I was just shopping around, but your discount was the deal maker.

Dear new matress..WELCOME!! You are wonderful. My back didn't hurt when I woke up this morning and I don't remember tossing around as much. I look forward to many nights with you

Dear old matress..goodbye. It has been fun.

Signed,
Rested Treblk

Dear Subconscience,

It is time for you to step up and make some life altering decisions. You are clearly aware that there are people in your life who don't deserve to be. You are not responsible for them and their mishaps. You have permitted the greater good to overule your solid business sense and you have reaped not one shred or reward from the sacrifice.

It is time for you to no longer fear relationship reprecussions if you make decisions that are for the preservation of yourself and those who depend on you. Others who require your help didn't do the same due diligence therefore, you have allowed yourself to be used without their being accountable.

As much as it will hurt to cut off aid, you will find yourself in need of aid and the very people who have sucked you dry have demonstrated, by your observation of their relationships with others, that they will leave you high and dry just like everyone else. Be strong, step up and do what they are too cowardly to do--end the relationships. Cowards know when they have nothing to offer and their self-hate is projected onto those they resentfully need.

Subconscience, as you make these moves, understand that the protective arms of God are around you and He will not let you falter or see your seed beg bread. He is moving things around in your atmosphere and if you simply take shelter in Him, the storm will pass. There will be only temporary destruction, but when you cash in your insurance policy and collect the dividends of the Father, you will find yourself restored 100-fold.

Believe in Him, believe in yourself. The Lord has been preparing you for these moves for the past 4 years by opening your eyes, giving you the gift of discernment and the serenity to let go. You are no longer blinded by emotion; you are keenly aware of what is going on around you and as such, you must apply deductive reasoning and accept that there is no going back to the way it was. The innocence is lost and everyone is grown now.

Your time is now. Subconscience, do not be afraid, walk in the authority that is your swagger.

Dear E.B.,

I don't know what's up with you lately. Your tone with me has been really different, and I don't like it. What's with all the hostility all of a sudden? If it's something I've said or something I've done, I truly apologize. All I've ever done was care about you, check up on you to make sure you're ok, try to lift your spirits during this difficult time, but most of all, love you. I think you owe me some kind of an explanation, that's all I ask. You're my heart, I still love you to death, but this has got to stop.

Dear child's school:
Why must there be so many forms for me to fill out? Good thing I looked over them and realized I did not sign the back of the one of the four pages.

Dear child:
you will rock as a fifth grader!!! I know you love your braids, but PLEASE stop flinging them around. I can't believe you are in fifth grade already!

Daddy is looking down on you and he can't believe it either. We are so proud of you. But lose the attitude, offspring. I can and will take you out if need be. I love you...

Dear nikki1920,

I had to fill out these forms for 3 children, including my 4-year old! It took me an hour just to do that!

I have a 5th grader too and I know the feeling! LOL

Dear fellow mom txdiva:
I looked over her in school day care, and realized that they need a copy of her immunization records AND her physical. Neither of which I have. If she's been enrolled in school, can't they just use a copy of that? Would I be wrong to ask the office for a copy of them from her record? Am I wrong for doing exactly that tomorrow? AND I'll be going in late to work to take care of that? I'm such a bad mom. The offspring is now in my bed (ON MY SIDE, no less!!) because she said she couldn't sleep, she's too excited.

Yes, they can use a copy from her records. You're not wrong for doing it tomorrow. I didn't register my son until the first day of school because I had to wait for a faxed copy of his immunization records. You are not a bad mom! It's the first day of school; they should expect you to be a little late. Your daughter comes first! Hope she has a great school year!!!

Dear TXDiva:
thanks for that!

Dear Mel from Apple:
I love you!! Thank you SO much for your help!! I am so buying another iPod now!!!

Signed,
a very happy customer

Dear Sistergreek Nikki and homestate homie Kappativating:

I appreciate your thoughts. I would also appreciate that you pray for me while in this emotional state and to hear from the Lord, clearly. Satan is laughing at me b/c he was able to steal, kill and destroy a connection btw me and this other party. I believe that it is going to be fixed by the Lord, and be strengthened.

Thanks so much.

For everyone: Just pray with me, b/c there is strength in numbers.

dear bff and sista from another mista,

i LOVE you. however please stop calling me at 7 effin 45 in the a.m. to complain about stuff. i really need my mornings to collect myself and set the atmosphere to have a positive day. have you not noticed that the last couple of times when you start on your complain-whine tirade that my 'signal fades out'.... LOL. i'm o.k. if we don't talk in the morning... really! but if you do call, can we try to be pleasant? you're sounding really like a bitter ass broad early in the AM. i can't even imagine how the rest of your day goes if that's how you start it off.

jitterbug13 · #**328** 09-02-2008, 08:34 PM

Dear me,

You deserve way better than him. You deserve way better than him. The only reason he called is because he is loosing out and you wanted to teach him a lesson on how you felt when he did his disappearing act. All he had to do was keep calling and visiting you and everything would have been ok. But no, he wanted to disappear and he hasn't see you since you moved back home.

So why I feel so sad?

NiaX:
done and done. Maybe that connection needed to be broken and He is trying to show you something? Girl, walk and talk like it is fixed and keep it moving. You'll be ok. Our Daddy says so! *hugs*

txdiva:
ok so why did they NOT have the physical form today? Why can't I find the form the dr signed saying my child was clean and up to date on her shots? I've torn this apartment up looking for the damn thing and can't find it? Watch, I bet the school had it the whole time. Either way, I may have to call out again tomorrow. *sigh* Yay, sick leave. (and I was sick today, I have the doctor's note to prove it.)

At least she survived fourth grade without you killing her. Fourth grade girls are satan's special little helpers.

I have somebody like that in my life right now. He called yesterday morning and I was N-A-S-T-Y to him. I felt bad, but not really.
