Shout out to the fella always working evenings at the North Street grocery store self check out desk. We're always happy when we see you're working and leave with a smile. Show this message to your boss because you deserve a raise. —Always Snackin'

To the cashier with perfect teeth in a popular north end café: I always regret looking like I just rolled out of bed when you’re working. If I needed to showcase how excellent customer service is done, you’d be the first person to come to mind. I’d never tell you personally because I know you are only being polite, but you’re so handsome that I can’t stop myself from behaving nervously every time you smile at me. If this finds you, I hope it brightens your day! —Messy Student

Hey, guys. Missing Halifax and all my dear friends there, all the lovely communal houses, potlucks, open mics, radical gatherings, progressive communities working towards the greater good, great music, community gardens, winter, summer, the Atlantic Ocean...hard to believe I've been in NZ for a year now. Hope any of you who know me know who this is! Sending much love from the other side of the world. I have not forgotten you! —Brown Curly-Haired Shorty In NZ

Blonde, glasses, friendly! You are such an stellar RMT, and your sessions ease my chronic pain, and your personality is great! I can’t help but feel some flirtation between us? We can talk about pups and prison shows anytime! If not, thank you for the treatments. You’ve been nothing but professional and bubbly! —See Ya Friday

Awesome. With all the complaining about our health care here is a story of excellence. On Wednesday afternoon I arrive for an MRI X-ray after stepping off the elevator went directly to the desk was checked in, than told to go further down the hall and wait, once there I was directed to change into the usual clothing and again wait, a lady than came out and took me into the room for the X-ray, after I was done and leaving and walking past the first desk and onto the elevator, a total of 17 minutes, that’s faster than the drive thru coffee shop, so congratulations for our health care. —Lover

Thanks to the security personnel and ferry crews, helping all who want to use Transit on the ferries! People take off your headphones (which are not allowed, but tolerated on/in the Ferry/Ferry Terminal) Sit and chat with the person next to you. Don’t judge by looks, but listen to their story. I did for a year and wow, what a wonderful, diverse city I live in. —It's Me, Enlightened

To the lovely lady in the blue dress, you don't deserve to be treated like you were. Had I been in a different capacity I would have told your husband off for the way he spoke to you. You're a beautiful woman, both in looks and personality. He really hit the jackpot, he just hasn't realized or appreciated it yet. I'm glad you dragged him away before he got hurt. I just wish he could have paid before he did… —Concerned Man in Black

After being hit by a car on my scooter, a very nice man was the first to jump out of his car and offer assistance. Sir—you had to leave because of your kids in the car, but you will always be my hero. Thank you so much. —Scooter Girl

To the blue-eyed, red-haired, always well-dressed Regency Park angel. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to you. You are a rare bird amongst the crows. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. —Great Admiration

A Friday meal at a restaurant in the Hydrostone. For Brenda and I a pleasant date, the best fish and chips in town and superb staff. To end our meal, a wonderful surprise…a young man unbeknownst to us, newly introduced to the restaurant’s great food, paid for his meal and OURS! The gesture was unknown to us unfortunately, revealed only after the young man’s departure. This gesture has overwhelmed us, the generosity greatly appreciated.

To the young man, a stranger he’ll remain, will never have the chance to receive our most sincere thanks. Merci, merci, merci! —Two Thankful People
