Dear Nikki,
Please don't remind me of Kevin Hill. It brings back my angry days!! lol

On the eve of the Obama Presidency, and the expansion of the country, Langston's noise seems appropriate:

I, Too, Sing America

I, too, sing America. I am the darker brother.

They send me to eat in the kitchen

When company comes,

But I laugh,

And eat well,

And grow strong.Tomorrow,

I'll be at the table

When company comes.

Nobody'll dare

Say to me,

"Eat in the kitchen,"

Then.Besides,They'll see how beautiful Iam

And be ashamed--I, too, am America.

Langston Hughes is great.

Thanks, TonyB06! Right on time with that.

Dear IASK:

(((((HUGS))))) That must be tough. I know I had frequent headaches in my 20s, but they seem to have leveled off for some unexplained reason. To this day, I have no idea if certain foods trigger my headaches, but 31 is sweeter since it comes with fewer headaches. You're on my prayer list (that's the least I can do).

Dear Step Team Sponsor(s) at Chamblee HS:

THANK YOU for having the team sell the World's Finest Chocolate bars to do some real fundraising. Thanks for having the parent with that girl! That sealed the deal for my purchase and extra donation as well as my husband's. It's going to build character for the team that's earning their monies for their team and not just walking around with a bucket asking for donations. I don't know how many times I have not dropped a dollar in a helmet for a team (except my old HS team). I always follow up my rejection with, "When is the car wash, doughnut sale, or whatever activity?" They just look at me blankly, and I SMH.

Dear ME:

Write the letter to the school so they can know this is for real.

Dear Petty Cliquey Coworkers:

Y'all have about 6 - 9 weeks left with me before I earn my CDL and get ready for the trucking life. So you won't have to worry about how slowly I work anymore. (Never mind that my quality of work far outshines what y'all could ever hope for and that's why I get the harder tasks.) You'll just have to pick up the slack when I'm off to start my new career as one of pretty truckers on the road.

Dear GOD:

Thank You for the petty coworkers. I honestly believe this new larger strain in our work relationship was a blessing You put in place so it'll be so much easier for me to leave this workplace and not look behind even once. I'm going straight for the destiny I've put off for 13 years. Whoever said YOU work in mysterious ways has been right for decades (maybe centuries?). Thank You so much for this and all the other blessings. Amen.

Dear Facilities:

Can you please please turn DOWN the heat in here? Seriously I am about to pass out at my desk and I don't trust my coworker not to rat me out.

But fo real...it's is hot as Hades in here today. What happened to all the conservation talk if you got the heat set past "it's hot in hurrr!" The devil has on shorts and flip flops and offered to get me a soda. He even offered to get me Diet Cherry Pepsi and I almost took it. So um Ima need you to get the pliers out and uncrank that heater (but leave us a little please).
My sanity and soul are on the line here. Thanks fellas

Sleepy co-worker

Dear Employer,
You are so lucky that the economy is going through turbulent times and finding a job in this are is very difficult. If I could I would drop these keys on the desk and just leave!!! Keep in mind that I am looking and the day when that new job calls, please be prepared (within 2 weeks!) to find my replacement!

Blessed

Dear Stevie,

YOU ARE TOO D@NM COOL TO SING WITH THE WACKNESS BROTHERS!!!! You sang while those children butchered Superstition. This is not acceptable. Don't ever let people talk you into ever doing that again!

Dear State gov't,
I just want you to know that you have made me reach new depths in my self esteem when you denied my broke behind food stamps. I get unemployment and you all basically said that I am "too rich" to qualify and that I should come back when I stop gettin checks. what kind of dumb thought process is that? I will qualify when I still don't have a job but really don't have any money to even have a place to even keep food. But I know they think I would have a job by then and I still wouldn't qualify for stamps.

and they wonder why folks abuse the system. I feel like gettin knocked up just to get stamps, b/c the case worker said the food stamps system is built for single moms, disabled and elderly. so, basically broke unemployed folks are just SOL to get some aid to keep food on the table.

Do you know how awkward it is to say "thank you" when someone says "wow I can see you have lost a lot of weight"? I would not have applied for the stamps if I didn't need them. I see my nice shape goin to crap b/c I am not eating for real. chuckas!....I just want to be able to have a meal on a regular basis.

Sincerely,
i don't have any kids and its MY FAULT.

YES!!! someone who thought the same thing!! Who owed who a favor for that mess?

Dear Mom,

Happy birthday today (66th), to my favoritest AKA.

You have been the best. Your words of wisdom, and the belt you used when you felt it necessary back in the day, have helped make me the man I am today. If I'm holdin' it down, it's becuase you and dad, each in your distinctive ways, showed me the worth of who I am and respect for the name I carry.

Much love to you always and God bless,

TonyB06

jojapeach · #**567** 02-12-2009, 02:06 PM

Dear TonyB:

Does your Mom ever remind you that you're not too old to get a belt to that hide? I was just curious since you said "back in the day".

Little32 · #**568** 02-17-2009, 11:15 AM

Dear PETCAM

I know that my actions over the past few weeks might seem confusing and perhaps hurtful. By way of explanation, not excuse, I have been dealing with some personal stress and disappointments (you know about these) and it is my tendency in these times to push people away rather than draw them near. Perhaps my actions have seemed more hurtful because you have only every tried to support me. If it is any consolation, I did not just do this to you, I have done it to everyone; it was not personal. I have a lot of fences to mend. Hopefully some day soon, I will be able to explain and apologize.

Sincerely,

Little32

Dear Chick-over-there,

Oh, for heaven's sake, if the same thing I've been doing has been annoying you for A YEAR, why didn't you tell me A YEAR ago, instead of unleashing A YEAR'S worth of anger on me all at once!!!! How much sense did that make???? Stop the passive-aggression and put your big girl panties on.

Stay blessed and drive carefully,
CG
