To the boy with the liquid courage who called me to say how much you wanted to see me again, I thought that was cute, funny, and it made my night. You could have hung up upon realizing I couldn't hear my phone for the music, but you left a hilarious message instead. Nobody calls anymore so kudos to you for revitalizing the voice mail! —Impressed

This is a shout-out to all you (motor) bikers out there that have pulled out your bikes for the sunny season. It is good to see you on the road. I am happy in my little honda civic but I appreciate the way you live life full throttle. You remind us that driving is not just the easiest way to get to work, it is something we can really enjoy doing. So, for to those of us who enjoy the privilege of driving a car (and the bus strike was a reminder of just how good we car folks have it), roll down the window, turn the music up and enjoy it even if you're just sitting in traffic. —Happy to be Driving a 5-Speed

You showed me the stillness on the Bras D'or early in the morning. You showed me the strong winds at Meat Cove, shaking our tent as we looked out at the end of the world. You introduced me to the rugged stoicness of those from Judique. You gave me thousands of your beautiful smiles. You shared innocent laughter with me at Joe's scarecrow village. We loved each other. I still love you. I will never go a day without pain for hurting you. —SH

Thank you so much to the absolutely lovely bus driver who noticed me standing apart from the mob jockeying for position to get on the bus on Monday afternoon. That you noticed that I am pregnant and stopped right in front of me, thereby ensuring I got a seat, was much appreciated. —Expectant Mom

I may have flown from the hive, but baby I'm coming home. Two wings and a bee sting, bring me to sing, you're my queen and I'll remain your king. 200 thousand miles spread apart, you turn fictional love into art, can't you see, I want you, I need you, my Bumble-Bee. —King Bee

To our new favourite real estate agent - thank you!!! You found a buyer for our condo when no one else could, when we least expected it and with the best closing date. Now our little family can move into a house where we belong. You rock! —Three's No Longer a Crowd

Thank you so much for your years of dedication and professional service to the sick kids. You all made more of a difference than they gave you credit for. Your loss will be very painful and cost the most vulnerable people in our society a valuable service and allies when they need it most. It has been an honor to work with you and also to learn from you. Too bad the people who make theses asinine decisions couldn't be bothered to spend any time on the unit to see the difference you all have made in the lives of these kids, they only see the dollars. Shameful. Best to the security people who lost their positions also as a result of the cut backs to your service, a fact nobody has bothered to mention at all. No job losses just back to casual positions to try and eek out a living to support their families. All the best to all of you, you will be missed... —One Who Sees and Remembers

I am so proud of you for being ranked fourth on Canada's best cities to live in list. You're beautiful. You make me prouder and prouder each day. Thank you for everything you have done for us. I am confident in the fact that I made the correct decision in moving here. You kicked Toronto's ass as well as Vancouver's and I love it! I am honoured to call you my home! Keep shining. —East Coast Lover

Not sure how terrifying moments in October lead to me dreaming of you most nights... thinking of you most days... maybe it's the knowing I'll never have you... or maybe everything about you is as profound as I think it is... I hope one of these leak through to you... I want to say hi but I'm always afraid to wave at the wrong car. —Bad Luck in Technicolor

Halifax is so beautiful when the sun comes out! I've never seen a happier crowd of people than us Haligonians today. People I've never seen before that live on my street were out frolicking in the sun's presence. I'm glad to know everyone has come out of hibernation. Sometimes I ask myself why I moved to this city in the first place, but days like today have reminded me why. I hope the gloomy, dark, rainy days are a thing of the past... for now. —H-Town Love
