Dear President Barack Obama,

All we ask is: Don't screw things up even more.

Hopefully Yours,
Me

Dear Person Who Took My Recycle Bin,

Really? My recycle bin?

In Bogglement,
Your Confused and Disappointed Neighbor

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Diary,

Today I dropped a bottle of ketchup, with predictable results! It was not the best day ever!

Signed,
Clumsy

Dear Internet Slapfighters,

Perhaps it would be a good idea step away from the keyboard for a day and take a calming breath.

In Peace,
Michael

Dear Michael's Brain,

Stop worrying about the meaningless stuff and get on with the business at hand.

Nolove,
The Meat Puppet

We've had a number of recycling bins disappear (taken, I presume) over the years. Weird.

I wonder if this is the same thing that used to entice people to steal milk crates? It's a nice crate with handles, after all.

I have splattered ketchup all over my boss/co-founder.

Ouch!

When I was moving into this apartment, I dropped a bottle of South American pure vanilla extract on the floor that way, with predictable results.

Also not the best day.

(Although, when I came back with the next load of stuff, my new apartment smelled like vanilla and lemons.)

While I would much rather have the smell of vanilla over ketchup, yeah, not a fun clean-up job either way.

On the other hand, loosing a jar of ketchup is not big deal, once the clean up is over. If I dropped and broke my bottle S.A. pure vanilla extract, I might just cry.

These are all excellent letters.

We have also had recycling bins swiped. The mind boggles.

Like I said upstream: I wonder if this whole stealing recycle bins is the same thing that used to entice people to steal milk crates? It's a nice crate with handles, after all.

We once had a problem of our whole garbage can being swiped - not once but three times. Who the hell steals a garbage can?

When we moved into this house, the upstairs kitchen was carpeted. (ICK.) On the first day that I cooked in it, I dropped a new bottle of soy sauce on the floor. Despite the padding provided by the carpeting, the bottle shattered, with, well, predictable results.

A very nice combo of Bear's LJ and Irving's The Water Method Man.

I like "meat puppet." And actually I'm hoping for a bit more from forty-four.

There's a massive problem with swiped recycling bins in my city - people are stealing them to hoard their recycling water and to catch any water from downpipes on the rare day it tries to rain.
Ten years of drought and the expense of installing real water tankes = lots of nicking of council bins.
