Dear flickreenos:

- not sure about the cutesy title, but if that's how you sign emails, that's how I'll address you.
Anyway!
I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH for letting me back into my orphaned flickr account and I'm sure all 654 of my readers would thank you too as I CAN NOW POST PHOTOS.
I know it may not be a big deal for some people to lose all access to over 6000 pictures of shoes and cheese but it was making me crazy.
I also want to point out that the whole thing was partly my own damn fault - it's true, I changed my email address and didn't let you know. But then you went and merged with Yahoo and the shit hit the fan.
BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER because all is well right now...I mean, my husband still needs work but I don't think that's anything you can help with.

Hugs and kisses,
blackbird (not blackbird17)


Dear Gods Of Weather:

Do you think you guys could turn it down a notch? It's kind of hot over here. Humid too.
I've almost had enough and you don't want to be around WHEN I'VE HAD ENOUGH.

Get on it,
bb



Dear Little Bunny Who Lives In My Yard,

I've spotted you eating our grass and plants for several weeks now but you still look kind of skanky and thin. I'm thinking you may want to see a doctor. Seriously? There are large areas of grass missing out back - you should look a little pudgier.

best,
The human who keeps the dog inside when you are on the property



To The Neighbors Who Are Renovating Down The Block:

Hey, look, we've all renovated. I know it's a pain in the ass to have a dumpster in the driveway, to listen to that compressor all day and the nail guns? Oy. And it IS hot out, so I can understand why most of your crew is shirtless - but, the thing is, your house is nearly a block away from mine so I'd appreciate it if you'd ask the rather large, hairy, sweaty shirtless guy to park closer to your end of the block as his gigantic Ford F350 with the heavy duty tires and chrome is harshing my mellow parked in front of my house. ( I should also mention that that is where Oldest parks and if he comes home and that truck is there, well, let's just say I won't be responsible for what happens next.)

You ought to let that poor dog inside too. I don't even like dogs and I feel pretty bad about him being out in this heat all day.

I'm not kidding,

The neighbor who might just lose it.


Dear Dr. Z. -

Please be gentle with K's tooth, he's pretty stoic but I can tell he's in pain.

thanks,
your pal, bb


Dear Readers,

Thanks for caring so much about me. I'm doing okay and really appreciate how kind you were
yesterday what with the checking in and all.
It warmed my heart which was okay EVEN THOUGH IT'S DAMN HOT HERE.

I less than three you,

bb
