Dear Personal Trainer,

I know I need this. Even when I hate it the most, I know I need it. Thank you for putting up with me.

Tiredly,

Dear Boss,

Okay, I got two surprise curve-ball assignments today and I got both of them done. However, as a result I've done nothing on the two surprises still pending from yesterday. I hope you understand.

Busily,

Doing My Best

Dear Creator of Heaven and Earth,

If you exist anyways, would you mind letting me know why ANYone would ever have hair like mine? What's the deal with the design of knees - are they trouble-prone as a minor assignment, so our medical researchers can try to come up with any better design? Am I doing the right things with my life so far? I could use a little guidance on stuff like careers and time management.

Oh, and while you're here, I'll ask one Diane DiMassa has been wondering about: if women have to be second-class citizens in just about every country on the globe and in just about every time period in history, why didn't you make us stupid enough to not notice?

Sadly,

A Confused Chick

Dear Dad,

Every so often I hear from a child who has been through absolute hell... hell caused, all too often, by her father. It makes me grateful for the dad I have. I tell them I wish I could share my dad. I really do say that sometimes. I wish everybody coulda had a dad like you. I just want to tell you that.

Tearfully,

Your Daughter

I love my little brother, and I was so happy to see him -- but it's so damned complex.

Isn't it though? Sheesh!

I've already alienated my older brother (whom I love a lot too...) by not talking to my parents. Ugh.

Oh, that's too bad. Sounds like he's trying to protect your parents, a little? Doesn't want them to have to face your not talking to them, so he gets annoyed at you for it? I guess I wouldn't be surprised if your parents ARE that fragile. Strong, confident, healthy folk don't dish the kind of crap they dished at you (yes, both of 'em, in my view, 'cause in my view your mom's attitude is crap too)...

That's *exactly* it. My mom goes whining to Sean about me not talking to her, and he gets all upset at me over it. Bleh.

So he's helping her punish you, or just taking it on himself to punish you. He's an elder brother, isn't he? Sigh. Me, I wouldn't appreciate that one bit... :-P

*hugs* dear. What a mess.

Yep, he's the elder brother, a role he's always taken far too seriously. No, I don't like that one bit. :-P
