Standing in line to buy groceries on Sunday. The woman in front of me is verbally encouraging those at the self check out to "Hunny, hurry up!", another woman accidentally cuts in line and responds rudely when someone says something to her. I've been shopping all day with family & want to pull my hair out. Then the most lovely sound... a quartet of gentlemen starts singing Christmas songs at the front of the cash registers. The sound rings out and everyone looks to see who is singing. Wonderful. Thank you for bringing me back to what it's all about at Christmas - a warm heart & joy towards mankind. Happy Holidays! —A Warm Heart

Just wanted to let you know how nice it is to read your comments on here PG. You seem like the nicest person, and it's always refreshing to see that. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season<3. —PurpleFire

You were behind me in the grocery store and your friend was trying to get you to use the self scan. I like how you'd rather use the regular checkout to get some customer service than to do their job for them. Unfortunately, as your friend pointed out, we were in a "cash only" lane so we had to change to the self scan after all. —Used to Be Better Service

...to just walk away from you? After months and months of on and off (but really kind of still on), this is getting exhausting, but I just can't seem to give you up, or give up on you. At the best of times, I don't know where I stand in your books, or even fit into your life... and I don't think that you do either. But maybe I just don't--if that's the case, it would be nice to know sooner than later. Somehow in spite of this, and maybe this is stupidity on my part, I still love you... in the more-than-just-a-friend sort of sense (because hey, we'll still be friends, ya, right). There are times when I can feel you feeling the same way, but then everything else in your life clouds it, and it disappears. I wish that was as easy for me to do as it seems to be for you, because honestly, I'd rather not love you. But I do. —Honeycrisp

To my awesome boyfriend, I had a SHIT morning arguing with parents, people at the store being rude, random irritating things. But as soon as I walk into your basement, you're all cuddled up in a blanket waiting for me to join you. Say the nicest sweetest things and steal my heart all over again after it's already been 9 months together. Sometimes you're an asshole, but most days you take me away from all my troubles making me feel wonderful. Thanks for being the way you are babe. —#5

Thank you, The Coast, for giving us the chance to Bitch or Love. I've finally gotten things off my chest and sent out the love I've been feeling anonymously. What would I do without you guys? You're the best! —Coasting to a Happier Life

To all the people who smile and talk with my dog and me while we're on our walks. It makes my heart smile to see how happy you are after a visit with her. It seems odd to be thanking you for spreading your happiness but I really appreciate it. It makes my day to see you walk away with a smile on your face and an extra bounce in your step. —Grateful Dog-Mom

Oh chiblin! while you are a deviant, what with the perpetual poopin' in the tub and not understanding the concept of your human wanting to sleep in on weekends, I am thankful you are my kit! You give me allergy attacks and I can't have people over without you attacking them, but I promise I wouldn't put you down the garbage chute, no matter how many picture frames you break and how many fridge magnets go missing. Meow meow meow (which I think is cat-speak for "I love you"). —Affectionate Pet Owner (aka Crazy Cat Lady)

Why didn't I give you my email?! I'm saddened of the thought of not seeing you again. Today felt like the last time I will see your gorgeous smile. Also, the daily wave will be missed. I hope our paths will cross again. —The Mom with Glasses

To my mind blowing wild child watching you work hard all day and still rock the hackie sac and lip sync old movies makes me scream- you are so damn perfect! Never change! —Love You Love You Love You!
