To the runners crossing the finish line yesterday who stopped to thank ME for volunteering - after running however many km, in the heat, and ending with an incline up Brunswick - you made my day. I still think you're nuts, but now I know you're nuts AND thoughtful. —Girl at the Finish Line

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I ran the 10K today with my husband and we couldn't have done it without all of you. To the volunteers dressed as pirates you made me smile when my insides wanted to burst. To those who helped organize, those who handed out water (and Gatorade) and the volunteers just cheering us on. You made our day! It truly was a wonderful event. —First timer looking forward to next year

To every woman I see on my travels with colored hair, piercings, or wicked tattoos: I love every one of you. <3

That is all. —A Smitten Wanderer

So, I was walking down Quinpool and saw you on your bicycle. We smiled and a few moments later you returned to say hi. I'm sorry I didn't take that opportunity to introduce myself. Want to say more than just hi? —Blue scarf girl

Macaroons, Sour Cream Coffee Cake and Chocolate Milk... Oh you're soooo good. ;) —Non Fat Eater

To the bus driver of the #1 this afternoon. You're the most awesome bus driver ever. You say "hello" when people get on the bus, and say "goodbye". You're cute too!!

And that woman was so wrong, the guy wasn't at the bus stop! I'm glad you stood your ground! Keep on smilin' —Happy with Transit

Wow, I was having a rough day yesterday. Staring down my third 12 hour night shift in a row, biking there (to Burnside from the south end, which I actually love) and generally feeling tired as hell.

So it was like 6 in the evening and on my way to work I go the grocery store for a few munchables to accompany the graveyard shift. Standing in line wearing my funny looking bike gear; you cue up after me. Sorry if I stared for a second, I think I smiled like a goof too. Its just your eyes are so incredible.

Anyway, I paid and went out to unlock my bike and be on my way. You left the store just then. I pulled away, but (and I never do this) I felt compelled to say hello. I pulled a u'ey and came back. You were super cool when I said hello and even accepted my compliment about your beautiful eyes.

It may seem like a small thing, but it made my day and I scarcely felt tired after that. Something about that brief hello made me glad to be alive.

Wish I had had more time to talk to you, had you wanted (also would wish to not have been wearing funny looking bike gear).

If you see me again (and actually remember my funny lookin ass) say hello. —Blue eyed biker boy

I enjoy walking by every day. You always seem to be smiley and happy considering some of the lotto goblins you must have to deal with in the run of a day. You seem like such a positive person but I'm just a shy guy who's happy to watch you gleam. —"Just Imagine" indeed

To all the hot, tanned bodied, hali boys who seem to hibernate during winter, and only come out when the warm sun is shining, i friggin love you . :) —Blark

I love you, your cheap beer, and awesome staff. The atmosphere is perfect and it's always a great time with great people. You're by far my favorite bar and I love bringing people there. Thanks for letting me spend my student loan money on your cheap beer, I can't think of a better way. —Lutes lover
