My heartfelt thanks and appreciation goes out to Halifax watch man, Sam, for the superb customer service. Guess you show those guys what "Charm" is all about. —The "Cardinal" Sinner

I miss you already but that's okay. You make me proud. Our home won't be the same without your wicked sense of humour and the beating of drums. —Evil mom lady

I wasn't sure when we would see each other again. And then there you were. Walking at night. Right in front of me. It's been three and a half weeks since that night. And so much has happened:

And here we are again. Not talking. No matter what happens I'll love you forever. You know that.—Unicorn

Another love shout out to Senior Ivan-of-the-Dead (or whatever he's calling himself these days): I found the book!

Thanks to Life Sucks for the cool umbrella: a little 1 1/2" pipe and a bucket full of sand did the trick, and to Marmiteman, I haven't gotten anyone to help yet in picking up the table and chairs... if you still have them, I still want them.

Sorry it's taking me so long! You guys are awesome! This is why I love LTWBB! Anger, humour and helpfulness in easy one-stop shopping! —TheBlackRose

We are really going to miss our big black rooster. Safe travels and remember we love you. —All of your friends

It's been a constant war between you and I for a countless number of years. Avoiding the foods I secretly longed to indulge in, and a constant feeling of deprivation. And no matter how careful I was, Waistline, you continued to expand. No amount of exercise and careful dieting would seem to stick.

I have realized: I just love food and the socail atmosphere it can promote. I have finally accepted that I can have whatever I please in moderation, and... so what?

It's amazing how long I've been living under this unknown stress, and now that I'm not fretting it, I've been so much happier. I'm learning to love you belly, and having fun while I do it! Yes, I've gotten quite a bit plumper, but you know what? I still excersise, quit smoking and actually still enjoy a lot of my 'rabit food'. This has been the biggest (literally) change of my life.

Dear Belly: Your not getting any smaller. No matter what, I'm never going to deprive myself of happiness again! —28" to 34" in exchange for inner peace

Jupiter:

I'm having a hard time accepting that it's really over - which I know is lame since I initiated all this mess. But I think I'll hope for a long, long time that you'll magically wake up one day and want a real, grown-up life with me so it can work.

Until then I'll be grateful for what I had and said I needed to give it up.

Love you, lovingly. —Busty

I love you Halifax and miss you terribly.

I miss the cute houses and streets, the bright colours, big trees and the smell of the ocean.

I miss blustery, stormy days and all my favorite shops. Fred's for cupcakes, Biscuit for cloths, The Shoe Shop, Antiques stores on Agricola, croissants at Julien's... motor bike rides down the coast and surfing, stopping in at Mahone Bay for treats.

I love that people take it easy and are gracious and warm. I love you Halifax (especially the North End). —Take me home...

I wish every Sunday morning could be so sweet. I'm glad we took the chance.

Thank you for everything, and I hope the lonely night might bring us together again. —FamiliarityBreedsContent

To the sad puppy eyes, lost hobo with the yellow T-shirt:

After disappearing for weeks, I finally saw you wandering up the street singing your heart out yesterday on Barrington. We were getting scared that you might have gotten heat stroke or something.

I've had a toonie in my pocket for weeks. I hope you find your way out of this soon. —TheHoboProtectorate
