gag orders don’t help anyone; free speech may be our best freedom in this country
I feel like the family and friends ombudsman lately. 
Dear Dogs: I’m really sorry I haven’t been able to take you to the woods for longer than 15 minutes over the last three days. There was snow, and then there was rain, and then there was rain again, and now there’s huge wind. I’m hopeful that tomorrow you’ll be able to run around like crazy, get your sillies out, and collapse exhausted on the couch. Hang in there. I’m on your side.

A student gets into an absolutely top school early with no financial obligation. The student proceeds to collect 19 more admissions to top schools in the RD round. Why would someone call this an “in your face” act? It has nothing to do with the personal characteristics of the student. It is for the same reason that it’s not considered good sportsmanship to crush your opponent in a basketball game by 156 to 23.
I’ve been here 28 years and can do nearly every job in the building…new company takes over and we’re all just a number. Waiting impatiently for my pink slip because I"m quite sure that isn’t the worst thing that could happen.
I unfortunately have no patience with clients who are idiots.
Have you been raised in a family with 60 servants? How come you NEVER turn off lights you turn on? I am so glad I will be done with you within a month.
I sincerely pity whoever marries you in the future.
I sincerely wish I had not Googled that information.
Your fragility worries me.
Dear Spring, you can show up anytime now…
Dear Winter, please go away…
Please, please, please…please happen…and soon. I can’t stand the suspense.
Oh dear kids. I’m so sorry they had to interject this level of crazy and self serving insanity into your lives 4 weeks before your wedding. No, you can’t choose your family, you can’t choose your soon to be spouse’s family. But, you get to choose each other. And you get to choose how you will be with each other. And you get to keep your wedding day a day of joy and love. You have every right to let crazy pass you by. And if needed you have every right to lock the gates and keep crazy at a distance altogether.
Some crazy can not be fixed.
Dear rocket scientists - it is not beyond your pay grade to sort recyclable stuff from garbage!!!
Pretty sure I HAVE 7 YEARS OF TRAINING IN THIS and YOU HAVE NONE. UGH.
So thrilled that my daughter has committed to a college she loves, and one where she’ll thrive!!
I gave my two weeks notice for a job I’ve held for the last 17 years. I’m excited, I’m nervous. I’ve had jolts of enthusiastic optimism, punctured with anxious sweats from second-guessing the decision. Here we go. Buckling up for a new adventure, hoping it will lead to something better, and telling myself it will be okay if it doesn’t.
Just realized today that in six weeks an era is over. Last kid will be done with last final, and no kids will have any undergrad debt. YIPPEE!!!
I think a small wedding there and a party later in my home is a fabulous idea, and solves lots of problems, too. I’m all in.
So you got the job you just had to get. Now let’s see you do it. We’ll be watching.
