has been great!, I hope it will last for ever! you are a very wonderful loving and caring Women, I want you to know that! And I love you and always will! Charles also has enjoyed your company and loves you!

ON YOU! Last week there was a woman who sent in her daughter to return a bag full of merchandise which was stolen from another mom while she was finishing her shopping in another store. Yesterday there was a woman who made her daughter try on a shirt in the fitting room, and then tried to say she bought it last week. Lady, the sticker was still on your kid’s shirt. You people disgust me. Instead of encouraging your children to appreciate what they have, and working for what they want, you are teaching them some sense of entitlement. You need that Phineas and Ferb shirt like you need a hole in your head, and to the sneaky mom trying to get money back on your bag of stolen stuff, you should feel sorry for yourself. Karma’s a real bitch.

Thank God for Google Drive, but unfortunately not everything was able to make it through. Oh well. The muse will strike again. Anything could be my inspiration. Maybe even you. Think about it. I could forever immortalize your heinous act in a short story, or even a character. I won’t even use your name. If and when the police find you, I will only describe your face, no doubt twisted by hate, so that there will be a clear picture of my villain. It might not be a laptop you steal, but an heirloom. A car. A life. A little extreme, perhaps, but you never know what significance your quarry has for your victims. Readers will forever hate you through your crimes expressed through my pen and paper, and that is how your legacy will be carried out. After all, words are forever. Or maybe I won’t write about you at all, and you will just be forgotten. Another nameless soul swallowed by unforgiving time. Lesson learned? You do not mess with a woman’s work. Also, now that I am employed with a job that surely pays better than petty theft, I can now afford a newer, better laptop to write with. Thank you, and have a good day!

We Belong I initially thought you came back for me too soon, yet remain convinced that we were meant to find one another. I will not fail to whisper your name when you feel lost in the silence, until we are one...home in each other’s arms. Our Family To 14 years and 3 amazing children! You and the kids mean the world to me and I can’t thank you enough for all you do for our family! You are always there for us! I love waking up to see you laying next to me and falling asleep in your arms every night! You are my best friend and I hope you never forget how much you mean to me! I look forward to what life brings us in the future and as long as I have you I can face anything life throws at me! For ever and always yours!I love you Goop!

Jeers Diamond Cup /UH Boats return to CdA ID! Being the speed freak I am (Cars, Motorcycles, Planes, Boats) and never having been to see UH boats in person, I was so looking forward to this event. Took vacation time, bought weekend pass for ‘Diamond Seating’, then Saturday, reality hit, I wasted vacation time, wasted my time, wasted my money, my experiance with this ‘event’ was so bad that I will never waste my time, vacation and money on any future ‘Diamond Cup’ or any other UH event. The one bright spot here were the white T-shirt ‘Event Staff’ who really tried to help but were operating in such a leadership (read event organizer) vacuum that there was little they could really do.

You Saw Me but you looked right through me like I had some horrible contagious disease. all because I can’t walk and use a wheelchair! It’s not contagious, just because you talk to me does not mean I think your going home with me. 10 years ago it was “thank you for your service”, “you’re a hero”, a bunch of rainbows and unicorns. So the next time you see someone in a chair, imagine it was you, your brother, father, uncle, brother...and treat them the way you would hope someone would treat yourself or family member, because you know what...in the blink of an eye... it could be

An Open Letter to the Gentleman that Broke into my Boyfriend’s Car and Stole my Laptop: Way to keep it classy. If you were here you’d hear my hands clapping in 3/4 time, which is far more than you deserve. I mean, really dude? Hanging around a park until we walk away for a few minutes, only to smash the window and jack my laptop? I understand YOLO, and times is hard, sir, but that is L-O-W, LOW. But your violation has cost me more than $600 Shoplifting I work in a busy retail worth of equipment, no, I’ve lost store in the mall. Everyday when something far more valuable: my I check the fitting room to find writing. Bookmarked websites? a handful of empty hangers, or Gone. Inspiration references? Also find sensors shoved somewhere gone. Dozens of poems. Notes and “special” I am disappointed, but ideas I’ll never recover. Strings of not surprised. However, it never words that flow in those once-inceases to amaze me the amount of a-lifetime meditations, never to be people who bring their kids in on reenacted. Only the rough the shoplifting.

RE: Perplexed I grew up on the snobby East Coast and I have to say, one thing I immediately appreciated upon moving to the Inland Northwest six years ago was everything that you complain about. I always felt out of place in New England but when I made my way to Spokane I felt like I should have been here all along. I read both of your jeers, both equally annoying and superficial. And I read all the jeers in response to you, which made me proud of the patriotism in my adopted city by the river. I doubt that my entire wardrobe is worth more than $100, which is probably what you spend on one pair of pants. Spokane is so laidback, we don’t need snobby people like you here. You should move. But don’t move to Seattle or Portland, as people are laidback there too. You should make your way to New York City or Boston, far far away from us where you will fit in with all the snobby, superficial folk who haven’t even heard of Spokane. I’m sure you’ll love that.
