Listen, you have been saying it for months. Your friends tell you almost daily and it's getting crazy. You're funny, smart, gorgeous and kind. You will be just fine. 30 is not too old to be single and 3 years is a long commitment to walk away from. I hope you realize sooner rather than later that you can do this and it is the right choice. This is not the right relationship for you and it boggles my mind that you won't do something about it. I for one will be the first person waiting for you when you do. Because you are going to be just fine and I want to be the person you realize that with. —Skilled Labourer

Thank you to the staff of the F.G. for giving my boyfriend a huge bag of ice on Saturday during the unseasonal sunshine. I just moved in upstairs and we were making celebratory drinks.
There is just nothing like living in a city where so many of your neighbours are kind and just plain willing to help each other out. —Ice Cool

to my roommate who just lost his cat:
I am so sorry you are having to go through this. I can tell that you loved that cat more than you love a lot of things, and frankly, I envy you for that (as a dog person who owns a cat, I never bonded with my feline pet like I did my dog). I want to do something nice to make you feel better, but you're a new roommate, and I don't want to overstep my boundaries (side note: to anyone reading this, might you have any ideas to perk a 30-something man up from grieving a loss?). Although I am not a religious lady, I am spiritual, and I will pray for you and send you all the positive energy I have. Wish there were more I can do. If you're reading this, know that I care very much. Hopefully the support will be enough for a little bit of a smile , or at the very least, hope. —wish I could have done more.

Actually it was more like 2 feet over the yellow line but I wanted to use the song lyrics.
This morning on Prospect Bay road as I was coming home, a road crew truck came around a blind curve at me, a good 2 feet into my lane. My side had a jagged shoulder and a guard rail. I must have just kissed that rail getting out of his way.
I did a Uturn and caught up with him as he had stopped to set out signs.I got out of the car just shaking with adrenaline and asked the first guy I saw (there were 3) if he was the driver. He pointed at the guy just getting out of the drivers side (yeh ok I was upset and didn't notice him sitting in there) and he got out. I wasn't screaming but I was upset and shaking and said 'you came around that curve over the line and almost put me in the drink'. and he apologized! He said he had no idea how far over he was, and that he was sorry. So I replied, 'I just had to come back and let you know' and he apologized again.
So this is just to say that sometimes people make mistakes & sometimes it turns out OK, no one got smucked & sometimes this means they will pay more attention in future & sometimes you don't need to go all ballistic on that person & everyone goes home. —good dog driving

I did something very stupid. I strapped the toddler in the car seat and shut the door, leaving the keys behind like a complete MORON. Thank God for you driving past on your bike. You stopped and helped me while I ran to my friends house across the street to use his cell phone. I don't know what I would have done had you not ridden by on your bike. Thank you for keeping me calm and sane during those 15 minutes it took for my spare keys to arrive. Thank God the car was parked in the shade and toddler thought it was a funny game.
I am so grateful for what you did and can't thank you enough. I'm mortified that I was so stupid and forgetful. Thank you for making me feel less ashamed. This city needs more kind and understanding people like you. I hope many good things come your way. —Not really a lover, just a very grateful stranger.

You were possibly the nicest, cutest server I have ever interacted with. You happily served our awkward group of lesbians, and didnt even flinch when we played the "what is our servers name - game" We're weird, you embraced it & took it all in stride.
You're awesome dude, and the bar should be lucky to have ya. You made the experience so much better. —I guessed that your name was Ryan. Oops

You're the coolest kid.
It's silly that you're the one who makes me want to change my Lonely Days and Whiskey Nights.
Wish I could be that one for you too. But, I'll settle for late night music introductions, your girlish giggle and the sex that I plan to only make hotter.
Tu estas muy guapo, papi ;) —Lenny

You were in front of me in the lineup at the grocer's today. I just wanted you to know that you are absolutely stunning (should I have just said that on the spot?)! I suspect there were mutual feelings, and only wish I had just invited you out tonight! Who knows, maybe I'll be lucky enough to see you again... —Only came to the market for 2 items

A big thank you to the customer who turned in my daughter's iPhone last night! We were shopping in Bayer's Lake and when we were about to leave my daughter noticed she didn't have her phone. We were at the bookstore and a 'popular discount store'. The staff at both stores were friendly and helpful and took our number in case it was turned in. Just as we were pulling up to the house we got the call, it was at the popular discount store, a customer had turned it in!! So some big love to the staff at both stores and to the honest customer! Me and my daughter both THANK YOU!! —Junebug

I tend to smile warmly to people all the time, and was at that bus stop that day. It might have been me? If so, you're most welcome. If it wasn't, well, I'm glad the person who it was brightened your day :)
I'm usually at that stop every sunday and wednesday, as I'm leaving Games People Play to head to work. I will be at that shop each monday, if you ever want to pop in and say hi. —Book lover, always reading
