You're an awesome bunch. —Ozzy

I had a lot of fun xo missing you. —Anon

I love the way you walk by, staring at me with those creep eyes. Sitting in the lunchroom, headphones in, you listen to our conversation---oh, so subtly. Are you my arch nemesis, Mr. Cyberman, those headphones transmitting your creep information as I stare right back at you? Let's be pals, stop the silence! —Direct and Fresh

There are still signs of goodness and faith out there. Case in point: I was downtown dropping off a few things today and decided to treat myself to lunch. Went somewhere for the first time, ordered a smoked salmon panini and while waiting for my lunch I realized I had no wallet---no money, debit card nor credit card. I told the waiter and he said don't worry about it, enjoy your lunch. I did, delicious and he said pay when you can. I wanted to leave my camera or watch or something for collateral but no. Never been in the restaurant before and just trusted me to pay. Without a doubt, I will be going back. So pass the goodness on. —Lover

It's now or never, come hold me tight. Kiss me my darling, be mine tonight... —Tar Eis An Stoirm Tagann An Ghrian

Dear Halifax,
You are the most luxurious locale I've ever slid into in the summer. I yearn for your warm sunny-folk bosom; I dream about your lakes and walks and talks and propeller-impregnated preponderant pondering on the Citadel. Prancing folk and stoop-sit smokes, and the North End forever, eternally. And mmmmm, those backyard restaurant shin-digs with home brews and home bros and sisters! Your economy might suck for people who aren't in the trades, but since when was a love affair ever economical? Moving to Alberta was super lame of me. BUT, as we all know well, one can never truly leave Halifax. I look forward to the day I once again bask in your seasonal glory! Please forgive me for ever doubting you. The most love possible. —That Short-Sighted Gal Who Left You For Jobs

To the kind gentleman who lifted my bicycle into the shop on Agricola Street in the morning---thank you! That was such a lovely gesture---I hope you got to work on time! —Bike Owner

I wish you were grown up enough to realize you were wrong too. I wish you were sensible enough to know what you did was a horrible way to treat a person. You will never love anyone like I loved you because you can't. Too immature and too selfish. This was the best you'll ever have. I think you know that deep down. You'll never forget me and that has more to do with guilt than anything else. How sad. You can't love anyone fully and yet, you're always so lonely. —We're Not Talking and For Good Reason

To the Metro Transit Drivers, even though the service isn't always the most reliable and I wish that there were more buses on and some routes ran longer, without you I wouldn't be able to get to work or get home. Even if I have to walk a little bit, it is a lot better than paying $15 for a cab, and I just wanted to say thanks because without you I would be lost! —Regular Customer

To the handsome, loving, patient, sexy man who makes me feel special everyday; I love you. Happy one year wedding anniversary! Thank you for always keeping things interesting, and for continuing to put up with me. —Your Lil' Muffin'
