I love the Canadian senate; I love how it never challenges parliament on anything. I love how it costs the government millions of dollars per year. I love how all the people who are senators are appointed and that they are paid six figures per year. I love there sense of entitlement. I love how some of them actually take more money than they are allowed even though they make more money than they deserve. I am not being sarcastic; I am a complete fuckin’ moron though. Just like all the people who believe the senate serves a purpose. I love all my ideological brethren. —Virgil

To the lady at the Emergancy Animal hospital Saturday night. Words can not express how greatful we where when the staff informed us of your donation to our bill. We where all dealing with the heart ack of our pets in distress yet you where still able to open your heart and reach out to us without so much as a word & left the hospital before we where even informed. Your donation help with the cost but you act of kindness was priceless and will not be forgotten. Thank you, all the best to you and your little guy, hope he pulls through. —Thankful Pet owners

I was in a big hurry to get somewhere last saturday and grabbed the first bus that came along spring garden going dt, the #80. When I got on I asked how close he will get to ocean towers. He said scotia square. When I was getting off at scotia square, he offered to drive me closer, seeing that I was clearly in a hurry. Thank you so much Mr. bus driver, you saved me a lot of time! —Always runnin' late girl

Thank-you for bringing Dan to Halifax and giving us all a great night of hilarious sexual commentary, he's really a great speaker and a smart guy - I've been reading his column in the coast for ten plus years and it was cool to watch him answering audience questions live. There were some serious moments, some thought provoking moments, but mostly it was just really freakin funny and a great time. I'll bet that dude that got to see the pic on his cell phone won't be forgetting that any time soon - but we're not supposed to talk about that...mum's the word. Happy 20 years! —Hoist

To the woman who left her beautiful black lab outside of a cafe on Oxford Friday morning. Your fluffy friend made my morning walk perfect. —Dog lover

On Sept 6 the grumpy gremlins attacked me at the Mumford Rd bus stop by the Walmart. I apologize this thank you has taken so long, however I shattered my elbow. I want to thank the young man who came to my rescue to try to help me. Also, the security guards from the Halifax Shopping Centre, the paramedics and the emergency staff at the hospital. Also, the fourth floor orthopaedic ward. May good karma shine on you the rest of your days. —Injured

I love the way you look every morning after an 11km bike ride. Then even more when you get home all hot and sweaty. You have beautiful eye lashes and an addictive smile. I love your iTunes account and that App you always play. I really loved the all-you-can-eat mussels on Tuesday too. Your hair is amazing, even though you cut it twice a month. I love your old Misfits pillowcase and the brand new comfy pillow it covers. I love your new mountain bike and the way it matches gravy from the chicken place I love. I love your wallet and CD collection. I love that only you can touch your records. I don't love hornets and how one got into your helmet and stung the shit out of you several times. I love your Nike sneakers and the kids that made them for you. I love the engagement ring you bought even though it looks stupid. I love you, —Nukka

You're handsome, I'm beautiful. Let's get together —Nerd lover

I had just gotten on the bus, put $2.25 in the box, only to be informed the toll had just been raised another 25 cents.. I didnt have another cent on me. After asking the bus if anyone had a quarter, and getting blank stares all around, you asked if I had change for a toonie. I told you I didnt. Thank you for your generosity in giving me your toonie. I know you didnt have much, and I felt terrible taking it. But thank you so much, I truely appreciate it. My day had been absolutely terrible until then. I'll be paying it forward the first chance I get :) —Girl on the bus

It was Monday Sept 30th. We were both picking up some boneless, skinless chicken breast. You pointed out the bigger deal to me...and I was so taken with you that I barely registered what you had said. So many things to say came to mind later like "I make a mean stir-fry" or something...anything. In any event you had so much chicken there that you must be cooking for more than one so it's certainly possible you might have simply been trying to be helpful...but if that's not it then I apologize for not saying more. You were naturally beautiful and made a pink-ish sweater, and tight jeans, look like a runway display. I am normally a pretty confident guy but you stole my ability to speak. I saw your mouth moving but all I could think was "wow she looks great"...It was a "Homer Simpson" moment...

I know you had a big night of chicken cooking planned and I hope it went well.

Thanks for the assist, the world is a better place simply by having you in it. —Stunned Chicken Shopper
