The thunder and lightning pyrotechnics on Sunday would have made me a little nervous, but with you there holding me, I enjoyed the show of nature so much more. It was beautiful - I love thunder and lightning storms again. Thanks for being my rock when I'm feeling wimpy. —Tougher Now

A thank you to the guy in the blue sweater Sunday evening on the corner of spring garden and queen st. We made repeated eye contact but I'm clueless and am not used to being checked out. It was when we both dis turn-backs after the fact that I realized it. It never happens to me. Thanks for the confidence boost. And yes, you were super cute too. —Mr. missed-opportunity

You sat across from me on the 14 lebian park... and I couldn't help but look a couple of times. I flashed you a smile, and you flashed one back... and it put butterflies in my stomach.

I like the ink on your arms, and your smile just totally made my weekend. I normally don't like taking the 14 but I'm looking forward to running into you again... —BlueHair

Thank you to the kind man who helped me and my hubby while broken down on the side of Herring Cove road on our motorcycle. He pushed the bike with my hubby on it to give us a jump start. The best part was he was running in his socks because his shoes kept falling off! Chivalry is not dead! —C and S

Way to go! Saw you Friday night @ Quinpool & Oxford: how come there's never any news coverage?

Especially during bike week, with hundreds of people taking over the streets in planned peaceful promotion of health & community (and I hear there was actual sanction from HPD this time because of bike week). Can't find anything on the news (printed or TV)... Anybody got any pix? —A fan

Thank-you to all the girls in my daughter's primary class who continually encourage her as she tries to master the playground monkey bars. Your lack of judgment about and kindness towards someone's difficulties blows me away and reminds me how I want to be in the world. Huge love to you all. —Student mama

An ENORMOUS thank-you to all the people who cleaned up the garbage around HRM uncovered by the snow.

To see the city looking green, clean and gorgeous makes me (and I bet a lot of other people) feel sooooo good inside. Your work does not go unnoticed and it does make a huge difference! —Clean-up crews biggest fan

To the gentleman in a hospital bed of the VG who wished he could hear the bagpipes again. The piper blasting from below the Centennial Building on the evening of May 29th was for you. —DalMed student

To My Colie B:

I miss you and love you so much! Stay strong my little navy wifey. Piper and I cannot wait until you come home!!! We're thinking about you all the time!! MUAH!! —Toomie

This week and last have really got me going. One of the best parts of The Coast. Kidding, your editorial content kicks ass too, its just not as sexy. —Cranky
