Thank you to all our neighbours in the Tower Road area for their help in finding Pipa, my beautiful African Grey parrot. She was lost for four days until someone finally spotted her in a tree and a day later we coaxed her down by having a picnic under her tree. Parrot and owner are much happier now. -Grateful Parrot Lover
I was parked in front of you at the NSLC by the Hammonds Plains Road Friday the 13th just after 5pm. You were driving a Civic and I was the girl in the VW Golf! I really wanted to come over and say "hi"!! I hope I run into you again so I can get the opportunity to talk to you! -VW Girl in Bedford
Thanks for everyone who passes by my safely as I bike within the city, and elsewhere. Yes, the city's road conditions are quite bad for cars—they're also quite bad for cyclists too. Thanks to the drivers with bicycle trailers on their trunks, who give plenty of breathing room for us cyclists. Thanks also for the folks who wait until there's PLENTY of room to pass by, but in my non-driving opinion—you can make it! You don't need to wait so long. But mainly, thank you to everyone who's patient and considerate on the road. It's everyone's route, and none of it is perfect. -Passerby
Cause I've got a plan. Maybe it's hopeless, maybe I'm hopeless. But I'm not giving up, I'm regrouping. If at first you don't succeed...try something else. -Waiting in the Wings
Thanks ever so much to the lovely dude ahead of me in the Young Street coffee drive-thru today—it was the end of a busy workday for me, and it was so sweet of you to pay for my lemonade :) You made my day's end super nice. I was really craving that sweet cold drink, and your kindness made it taste even better—your gesture was both sweet and cool. Wishing you an awesome Friday, and an even better weekend! -...and for the poetic gesture

I love you big big big bunches Robin and I would never let anybody have your personal information. Do you love me all of the time in the middle of your heart? Please write a love card about me being in the middle of your heart and how much do you care for me? -Erin C
I was flustered and worried about being late to work, boarded the bus heading north and had my nose stuck in my phone. A very kind bus rider complimented my "fantastic" hair as they departed. I didn't realize you were speaking to me until you were practically out the door. I'm sure I seemed nonchalant but I was very flattered that you took the time to say something kind and it brightened my whole work day. Thank you, gentlemanly bus rider. -Flattered
Thank you for finding me and for bringing such brightness into my life. You are a gem in a sea of weirdos and I am honoured to know your love. I can't wait for all of our future shenanigans. -Your Biggest Fan
I've been chatting up 311 on a regular basis recently and it is always a great experience. Thanks HRM for putting this service in place. And thanks to all the call operators—prompt, friendly, knowledgeable, got all the answers. Never feel like I'm getting the runaround. -Happy Caller

As wrong as it is and as painful as it is to admit this...
I am head over heels. You pulled me into your chest and your hand met the small of my back.
I rested my face into your neck and I wish it never happened.
I felt you, every curve which killed me even more.
I can't give you what you want, I said.
I'm sorry, I said.
