[why?]

Basically, this is an idea I got from another forum I go to, but it's a good idea.
You don't have to write to anyone on Talkback, or anyone we know.
Just write a note to someone for whatever reason.
Interaction is fine, but not necessary.
I'll start.


dear pop-
i can't wait for the jeep trail ride! sandwiches will be lovely, but would you please get some pastrami, too?
love, your bestest daughter.

why?

Dear Sewing Machine:

Break the thread one more time and I will take you to the window and drop you two stories on to the driveway
below. Now shape up, get with it, and let go of all that tension! I know you are old, but you are well-oiled, and, up until now, very much appreciated. But I am not kidding!

Dear EXCEL spreadsheet,
I realize you are very fussy about how your formulas are written but could you please try to be a bit more forgiving? I mean really!
I only have to use you until my agency has enough money to give my departments data needs to the IT Gods. Then I will have a really data base. Until then I am stuck with you and you are stuck with me!
So please, please, please try to work with me!

Dear pre-lit, 11-foot, Christmas Tree,

It was grand having you in the living room.
Everything is packed away but you.
If only you had an automatic collapse switch,
could pull within yourself to a width of 12 inches,
and would not weigh more than 40 pounds,
I would appreciate you as much now as I enjoyed
your glowing boughs during the Christmas season !

Hopefully, I will come up with a better place
to store your "body bag" than I did last year!
It is not easy to change your place of storage
three times in one year. After Christmas you can be
such a drag.

-Wonder

Dear why? --

I love letters! Reading the correspondence between Abigail and
John Adams was so much more engaging than John's biography.
Did you ever see the Griffin & Sabine books by Nick Bantock?
The books actually contain envelopes from which you remove and
read letters. Besides, it even contains a parallel universe, and
who doesn't love that? (Like TB world?)

Thanks for asking us to play.

Dear red-tail hawk:

I understand the food chain, and I know that you
need to eat. I apologize for thinking all the little birds are
cute and sweet, and for ooing and ahhing over them and not
over you. I get that you eat mourning doves. But would
you please show a little consideration and not pick them off while
they are at my birdfeeder, on my patio, right in front of my window,
while I am watching?
Would you please wait until they finish their last meal?

I appreciate it.
ceejay

Dear Scotch,

I..... wait, where'd my cigarette go?

Dear Maker of Doritos chips:

Please bring back the Taco flavor permanently. I loved that flavor as a child and was THRILLED to see that you'd brought them back temporarily (long enough for me to buy one stinking bag at Walmart before they sold out). Mixing Taco with that Chipotle Ranch or whatever it is doesn't cut it. I would like 100% Taco in my bags, please....and make a lot of them so I can enjoy them whenever I like.

Love,
BR

My Dearest Canines,
I realize that you have grown so in the past few years, and are now large enough to lean your head over the edge of the bed and lick my face as I sleep. I know it's a sign of affection, and I love you,too.
By now I thought you'd learn my schedule, and knowing I start my day at 3 am, even though I appreciate the affection, I really wish you'd at least be able to read the digital clock and distinguish between a 1 and a 3. And really, could you do something about that morning breath? Sheesh... if you don't wanna brush,at least have the courtesy not to eat out of the litter box.
Your loving two legged meal ticket

Dear Jeff the Mouse,
We are pleased that you are the newest addition to our little family. Jules is still adjusting to you, so don't think he doesn't like you. He just wants to be sure he'll take his hand back with all his fingers in tact when trying to get you out of your house.
Speaking of your house; I'd really like you to understand that your house is in my house, not the great outdoors. While you'd like to think you're running to the next field over while spinning on your wheel, really you're just getting some exercise so you don't get fat. So could you please stop indiscriminately peeing and pooping on the wheel? You don't need the scent trail to find your way back to your little bed that's 6 inches away from where you're spinning.
Love,
Jules' Mom

Dear Son,

Next week you will be turning 18. You may be considered a young adult but I will still worry about you. Have great hopes for your future and proud of the person you have become. You will always be my greatest joy in life.

Love you,
Mom

Dear Washing Machine,
I'm so sorry for your recent loss of a spin cycle.
Please know, I feel your grief, as you won't even talk to me, you just stop spinning
We have a beautiful relationship, and I miss turning you on 3 or 4 times a day.
Please, bring me back my spin cycle, and I promise I won't let anyone else turn your dials.
Thank You, Washer, Thank You!!

Dear Dan,
Drive carefully to Dover, and hurry home to me, SAFELY!

Dear Kids,
Do your best today, I'll be there for you at 3:15. TGIF!!
