^^^Can I come too? I'll bring cornbread & crackers!

To whom it may concern:
I really need the money for school. I am dead broke and I can't afford to cover my school expenses or my medical expenses. My last script was going to cost me $250 if the insurance people didnt pay for it. I think the pharm. knew when I looked my mom in the eyes and told her "I'll deal with the pain because I wont let you pay that much for some pills" that I was really in pain and I really couldnt afford the meds. I didnt see a doctor after four months of pain because I couldn't afford it even with insurance. $40 office visit co-pay + $500 deductatble on all scripts means that going to the doctor is going to cost way more than the $4 I have. So, I'm asking that you remedy this situation. I just dont get it. 2 jobs, a scholarship, federal loan, money from my mom and I'm still unable to pay tuition & room & board! Right now Im burning my candle at both ends and in the middle too. I need help! I know marriage is usually not the solution to financial problems, but I'm seriously considering it.
Thanks,
Me

Dear E.,

I'm really worried about you. Your email this morning disturbed me a little. I don't know what ticked you off, but I think I may have a good idea. When you feel like you're up to talking about it, you know how to reach me. I'll be waiting...((((hug))))

Dear Losing coach of last night's game, (Melanie?)

I'm sorry your Lady Hoopsters lost -- actually yall's offense was pretty bad and it was not a fun game to do. But, it was not a total waste. It was a pleasure watching you on the bench, in all of your foineness. As your team got behind by 5, 10, and then 15 points, you sat there with that pretty smile, taking it all in. If they gave points for "coaching cuteness," yall probably would have only lost by 20 instead of the 28,30 points yall lost by.

Never have I had so much fun watching a coach during time outs. (I would have even let you argue a few calls with me....for a little while, anyway.) I'd advise you get some new plays for your team, but as long as you on the bench, I'm more than happy to officiate any game you are a part of.

Tony,

Ask her does she need an assistant.

Dear Nikki:
Thanks for the concern! I have insurance through my school and outside insurance. Been there done that as far as the student clinic goes. They referred me to a neurologist (who I called in Nov. and couldn't get an appointment with until Jan.). The bolded above is one of my problems. I haven't been to sleep before 7/8 am in months. Its only getting worse because its starting to be a psyc stressor because people around me just dont get it. Everyone keeps saying "why dont you just go to sleep?" or "you just need to lay down at a decent hour and dont get up then you'll fall asleep" or my mom (who takes the cake) "you just have to promise yourself that you wont sleep between the hours of 8am and 8pm" I just want to scream "WTF if that worked we wouldnt be having this conversation!" UGH! But hopefully between the blood work my doctor at home did and whatever this neurologist says when I go see him they'll figure it out.

Thanks for the invite! When will the Chilli be ready? I will be early fyi. Cant stand it when people beat me to the food. LOL.

Anticipating Chilli,
Me

Dear LIG,

I am a bit frustrated with you right now. I am frustrated because I know that I and my efforts are better than the return that I am seeing right now. I know that I deserve more than what I am getting, on several different levels.

Thing is, I can not figure out how to make the returns match my efforts, and that is frustrating to me because I feel like I should know that by now. Additionally, I don't know whether I should be trying alternative paths, and that is frustrating, because I also believe I should have figured that out already.

Here's the thing though, LIG, I am going to keep on doing what I am doing. I am even going to step my game up in 2009. I know that if I keep working at it, I am going to eventually see my due rewards.

Frustrated, but still hopeful,

Little32

Dear Idina,

I think you're wonderful. It takes a lot of heart to admit you wish for your "chocolatey babies" to see themselves reflected in their president. Black women across America have said that repeatedly, but for a white woman to say it is just...acceptance at a level I haven't seen thus far. I don't even think that's the word I'm looking for, but it's as close as I can get. Those kids are really going to come into a home full of strength and love with parents who want them to embrace their total identity without having to "choose sides." Thank you, that made my day.

P.S. With a husband like yours, your future kids will be some beautiful little beings. Make them babies, girl.

Dear CG:
thank you for that picture of Dr. Sam Whats-his-face from Private Practice. I thought Taye would always be Winston, then Marcus from Best Man, then Kevin Hill, and now he's finally matured into Sam. And he's still chocolatey....

Love,
a Private Practice fan.

Dear showboating client in the lobby:
Please understand that this is a place of business and I am a professional. So with that in mind, let me share this:

1. I have a headache. I function very poorly when I have a headache. In layman's terms, I get an attitude.
2. It's that time of the month so I'm a lil crispy (i.e. b*tchy) today. As my coworker says, don't come for me, k?
3. I don't really give a flying flip if you want to call the "regional director" to complain about me. First of freakin all, there is no regional director for this county agency. Learn the damn terminology. Second of all, I still have four days to process this report. Slow your roll, homegirl. Making a scene in the lobby only shows me that you have plenty of free time, and that, like a child throwing a tantrum, you expect attention to equal faster service. I don't respond to child-like behavior from a grown woman. So, instead of me being proactive, which I would normally do, your case will sit until my supervisor can get to it. When that will be, I have no idea. Next time, use your nice girl voice and that will get your stuff to you faster.

And to the coworker trying to run interference:
um, you are not a supervisor. Stop trying to pretend that you are one. Stop trying to placate to these tantrum throwing clients and act like you have some sense. Ever wonder why no one will assist you? That condescending attitude is why. Someone will tell your linebacker-looking azz off if you aren't careful. I hope it won't be me b/c I'm scared you'd tackle me and I'd break a bone. Then I'd have to file assault charges. .

Today is not the dayum day, ok?
