Open letters
Seeing as we've got confessions and problems and issues springing up in threads all over the shop, I thought it might be interesting to have an open letter thread. Cathartic, perhaps. From your mother ruining your wedding, to your boyfriend who can't stop peeing on the toilet seat, or even that guy on the bus who kept making that annoying noise with his mouth, get it out here.
I'll get the ball rolling.
To my dear darling boyfriend,
Just because you are technically 'clean' when you come out the shower, it doesn't mean that I am okay with using the same towel you've been rubbing all over yourself for a month. I know you have others. I bought you two myself. Drag them out from the murky depths of the laundry basket, wash them and allow me the temporary use of a clean one.
Love, Cat
Dear lph (Amber),
Go here: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=13109.0 and write some stuff about yourself! Then I can decide if I like you. ;D ;)

Dear ac,
Update your blog so we can see pictures of your backpacking trip. I went hiking last weekend. I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
Love,

Dear tino,
Has your wife moved? How are you holding up?
hh

Ok! I've been needing a blog update.
<3 AC
P.S. Where are you going to put your pics?

Dear Yvette:
Please give us a sign that you're still alive. We miss you and worry about you. I have visions of you having had an accident, bandaged up on a Stryker frame, somewhere.
If you're OK, please tell us. And take care of us. VW has been spammed, there are no new recipes, the chatroom doesn't work...we need you!!
Concerned,

Dear hands,
Thank you for drawing that sweet ass picture just now. You and my heart must have mad chemistry. I will go to sleep and let you guys rest now, in my thanks, even though i'm not really tired and it's almost 3 am.
looooove,

Dear BP

Dear npower woman on the other end of the phone,
OH MY GOD. You are so useless.

Dear Insurance Company,
It irritates me that you said it was too early to fill my prescription for my mouthwash. You said I had to wait until the 5th. Hello?! It was filled on the 14th. There's only enough in the little bottle for 16 days. 14 +16 = 30. You want me to do without for 5 days?! Why can't you count?
And, might you explain WHY when I asked how much it would be without the insurance, it was the same price as with the insurance?
However, if you will pay some on my upcoming dental surgeries, I will forgive you.
Not sure if I'm peeved at you or not,

Dear Carrot Wench,
Have you checked out Cosmo's Vegan Shoppe yet? I wish they were closer so I could purchase some of their yummy foods.

Dear WFs grocery bagger,
You seem like a really nice guy and I’m sure plenty of customers appreciate your grocery bagging skills. I, however, am not one of them. Is there some way I can ask you not to bag my groceries and explain that I would like to bag them myself without coming off as rude? If not, is there some way I can make you understand how I would like my groceries bagged without seeming like an over controlling wacko??
I’ve tried giving you hints. I give you my own reusable bag when I come to your store. If I can walk around the store and fit everything I’m buying in that bag, then all of my items should be able to fit in that same bag after I’ve paid for them. They don’t somehow get bigger. The bag doesn’t shrink. If you are worried that some things may get “crushed” perhaps you should wait until you put everything else in the bag and put the crushable items on top. They don’t need a separate bag.
If I buy something in a container that might leak (like seaweed salad), please don’t throw that item in the bag on its side or upside down. It then leaks all over everything else and my reusable bag. Oh and what happened to the little salad dressing cup I swiped off the salad bar? Did you think it was trash? Why would I put trash with my groceries? I was going to use that to mix wasabi and soy sauce in and then dip my sushi in there. Instead I had to put daps of wasabi on my sushi & pour soy sauce on top. It’s just not as much fun that way.
I’m sorry I’m so picky when it comes to my bagging. I know you are just doing your job. I just really hate to stand there and do nothing while watching you bag everything the opposite of how I would do it. It’s very frustrating. I would really much prefer it if you would just go help someone else.
Thank you!
Dear lovely kittens of mine:
Although I love you both dearly, and enjoy playing with you, I am not a ladder. I must point out to you that while I am doing dishes, or cutting things with long sharp knives, that running through the house and straight up my back is not a good idea.I could get hurt. I know you mean me no harm, but seriously. Quit.
Love,
Me.
Dear Fufu--
I can totally see the resemblence...

Dear Chuck,
shYEAAH!
Okay, so I've only browsed their online selection, but I've been meaning to hop on the bus (or walk the 1.7 miles) to their store location.
I actually filled out a job application on their website as soon as I had my apartment address figured out....I called yesterday, and they said that they're not currently hiring. :-[ but they said they'll hang on to my app. in case anything opens or they need extra help sometime.
Have you checked out Sevananda in Little Five Points? It's an insanely awesome co-op with damn near every kind of food you could ever want. *drool* I applied there, too.
Or how about the Trader Joe's in Midtown ATL??
I'm applying for their sign-painter position as we speak type, and I really need to get back to compiling some portfolio samples for them. Wish me luck!
Peace
CW
p.s. we should partay sometime. you, kate, and courth, whoever....
Dear Yvette:
Thanks for replying to my spam report. Hope to see a lot more of you around here again!
We can't do it without you. :-*

Dear lisa,
I feel your pain. Now I just tell them that I'd like to bag my groceries myself. they don't seem to mind one bit.
Hope those baggers stay away!

Lisa,
P always boxes our groceries. He's just quick about it, and walks over there with the box. Then, if the person is standing there, he says "I can do it." They say, "are you sure"..he's like "yeah..." ......and that's it! There's been an occasional time when the person like refuses to back away...but that's rare.
Don't be afraid, AC
You use boxes?
