Thanks for sitting across from me on the 80, the way we exchanged looks and smiled to one another. Wondering if we could potentially be thinking the same wonderful thoughts. Those thoughts/hopes keep me going on a daily basis. —Everything I Do, I Do Because I Love

To the girl whose car was hit by my car door on Sunday at the mall: I apologize. I realize your frustration and in hindsight realize I may not have been empathetic to the situation as I get nervous in the face of confrontation. It was not handled well on my part. I apologize again and please know I was not aware it had touched as I was trying to quickly get my baby in out of the wind. I will be more careful. I promise I'm not really a bitch. —I'm Sorry

Thank you small scale producers for standing your ground, your principles, and for not selling out to the glam and the glitz of what's trendy and new. You're living true sustainability, the way it ought to be. —Small Makes a Difference

Thank you so much for being such wonderful hosts when 20-something swing dancers invaded you after the show. We arrived 30 minutes before closing and we were a loud, excited lot. Your service was fantastic and so was the food. It was a perfect end to a very long day for many of us! Thanks again for your awesome customer service! —LindyHop4Life

I want to thank you for Friday night. For holding me, for tickling me to make me laugh, for staying the night. For hinting to me that maybe we both want the same thing. Maybe next time I won't be so scared to tell you how I feel. I wish desperately that you asked me to go with you tonight, but I know we'll have our time. Thank you for always being there. Thank you for making this place a better place. —Your crazy girl

I envy you. You have great friends, they're loyal and funny, and you're the kind of kid I wanted to be. You're pretty, funny, and popular. I feel so bad for you. We moved from a good neighbourhood to a ghetto before you had the chance to become a real person. Now you're on your way, and I am terrified of who you're becoming. It almost affected me, too, but I was old enough to understand the social suffering going on around me and set my sights on university instead. These kids who live with their mom and their mom's drug-dealing boyfriend who kicks them out so they have to move out of town in the middle of the night without telling a soul (Three times this has happened already! Three!) are sadly probably never going to amount to anything, because they don't know what the world can offer them besides a life of defacing public property, welfare cheques, and drug dealing at the skateboard park. Please, please, little sister. Be more than these kids. Work on your math grade and stick with your dream of veterinary school. I'll pay for it myself. P.S. You couldn't pay me a million dollars to raise my kids here. —Love, Concerned Older Sister

You were a wonderful addition to our Friday night. You came with kumquats, supersized straws & friendly banter. Thanks. —From the ladies

But ballers gonna ball, you pick up what I'm layin down? Good times in the 902, we party like nowhere else. —The Young and the Restless

You emotionally tormented me for the time we knew each other, so why can't I stop thinking about you? I don't want to get in touch with you—you were never good for me. But you excited me. You were different. I'm not the kind of person you'd usually associate with—I'm pretty white collar. Sometimes you opened up to me, and looked at me with those sad eyes. You were lost. I opened up my heart to you, because I enjoyed your company, and I felt there was something inside you that was reaching out for stability. But you're so self destructive, and for those months, I was run ragged emotionally trying to figure you out. Damn you for making me wonder if you're ok. You used me, played me, treated me terribly. You scared me. I knew you were trouble, but I was drawn too you for some stupid reason. You weren't supposed to tear up when I said it was over.

I hope you're ok. I hope you straighten your life out and find someone good. I hope you realize your better than how you treat yourself. You have good inside you, use it. —Cares Too Much

To my first year chemistry tutor. I couldn't have survived this year without you. Thanks for continually reminding me why I came back to university. —Your resource centre newbie
