Sent with a postage stamp I am part of you. You will always be a part of me. You can take the girl out of Hillyard and Spokane, but you cannot take Spokane or Hillyard out of the girl. I miss you … In love Arkansas …

Red String Tugging I saw you so many years ago / I saw a future, I had dreams / You plunged into a bitter reality / I left. It’s over It is finished. / It’s clear you weren’t the one. / I go on. I fell and burned / I tried again with a lesson I had learned / Now you’re back full of ambiguities / I can’t do this to you or me / Please don’t pull the string / I can’t take his burden anymore / You were once my everything / And I was a mat in front of your door / Please don’t pull, don’t try to pull myself back / I left, I’m gone / There’s no happy ending / Just memories of a long time / A time when I loved you so much / and you said no / Please just let me go. / Let’s stay friends / With one caveat / Let’s not say a word of the things that we are not / Of the things that make me weak / Of the feelings that gently leave me / My soul can take a journey on this path not bear / In the memories of what could have been.

In the product section, in the grocery section of the grocery store, I saw you carefully squeezing the lemons, trying to find the best one. I noticed you and was impressed … the sight of your nostrils hanging over your mask, which makes it so completely ineffective. While you breathed your potentially contagious droplets over food that others might take home that night, I couldn’t help but notice that you may feel like a rebel who doesn’t bother to follow a basic safety rule which is intended to protect the most vulnerable in our society, you look like an absolute idiot who can’t figure out how to put a mask on properly. We are so close to possibly having the worst of this pandemic behind us. Please wear your masks in public for a while. Thank you.

CO Freddy All those years ago you took my breath away and you don’t even know how much I still think of you;) I tried to find my reasons because my identity felt so miserable. I had some bumps in the road (yes you would know) but you were there to make me smile and take my mind off things. I should have taken the chance when I got it. The truth is, I don’t know what to do with a guy like you, and I’m a #dammit who’s making life #embarrassed for the second time. If you are actually reading this I am not expecting any feedback but I just have to publish it. My feelings for you are going nowhere.

Beyond the Call of Duty A very busy new mom shopped at Michael’s while she tried mixing formula, feed a hungry baby, and find cash in her wallet to pay for her craft supplies. The lovely saleswoman stopped calling sales to reach under the glass partition to give the baby her bottle so the new mom could complete the transaction. You haven’t missed a beat! This is customer service !!!

Post positive Thank you for your kind gesture. After standing at the counter and being sent away twice by the old man, I finally had my package ready for dispatch. This time I got the window with the nice lady and when it was time to pay I took out my cell phone and was informed that the US post offices did not have card readers that could accept Samsung Pay. So there I was, after having been sent away from the counter twice, now I had to go and pay online … when the young manager asked, “How much does it cost?” And the lady replied “23 and moving”. Then, as he took his debit card out of his wallet, he said, “I have it.” Then he put his card in the chip reader and paid for my postage. Just wanted to thank you, Jeremy, and thank you, US Postal Service, for having wonderful managerial people who are good.

Thanks Thanks to the person who found my wallet at the Cheney Safeway and returned it to customer service. After a near-miss with a car in the parking lot, I was clearly thinking of other things and left it in my shopping cart. You are the very best people.

Cheers to the person who mocked himself When I opened the Prost / Jeers section of the latest issue, I noticed an overwhelming amount of mockery. Fortunately, yours was high on the list. It surprised me to see someone actually go through self-reflection apologizing for something so seemingly insignificant that it may show anger to others. The world has become full of fools and what you wrote has shown me that there are still good people around. Greetings to you

Bless your heart To the woman in the car next to me at the Rosauers today on the 14th around 11 a.m. You stopped next to me. I was in the handicap spot but hadn’t put up my poster yet; I tried wiping my eyes and nose so I could put my mask on. Got a peek at your son (?) Who pissed me off. I might be wrong. Watery eyes are just one of many problems. Anyway, when I got back to my car my eyes went crazy and I had trouble seeing. You moved out, rolled down your window and wished me a nice day. I didn’t hear you so I said, “What?” They said, “Have a nice day.” I got in my car and cried. People think that because you park in a disabled parking lot you have to be old or use a cane, etc. I find it difficult to walk; I have neck, shoulder and back problems. And the watery eyes. 🙂 You never know what someone is going through. I don’t know if you’ve read the Inlander, but I wanted to thank you. It still makes me cry because kindness is hard to come by these days. So thanks to the lady in the white car next to the silver car at Rosauers on March 14th today, March 4th. Bless your heart.

YOU call. YOU call … It’s a piece of cake … The people who don’t get the vaccine are showing signs that they don’t have a brain, soooo?

Lost Girls & No Men “Welcome to a world full of stupid girls and no men! There was a time when girls had self-respect and dignity – when they never dreamed of teaming up with low-quality junk that had no job and multiple babies -Mommies. What on earth do you girls see in these losers ?? They are not MEN – they are boys in adult bodies who want to act like a man – but NOT A MAN! A man takes care of his family, keeps a job and don’t stand on the corner looking for a handout or robbing people trying to make a living, which your loser guy refuses. The verbal abuse alone is enough to keep you away, let alone the physical abuse for you You choose to take. In this world, when there are so many resources available to help you keep girls out and stay out of these relationships, you still wish to be with to stay with these losers. Why – a thousand reasons – do you ever look at them, let alone get them? Then you are foolish to believe that he will change and in the end you bring innocent lives into the mess you created. I blame you girls !! You are responsible for your body and the life you carry. The world needs more men, stronger women and fewer losers !!!

Urgent Care For the person who drives a blue truck who works (or at least parks in front of) Franklin Park Urgent Care every day. I first saw your derogatory bumper stickers about a year ago, and I’ve avoided this emergency room since then. I have moved urgent care to my family because of this vehicle that features multiple Trump stickers, anti-LGBTQ with automatic weapons over the letter, and an “All Life Matters” sticker. Are you just trying to insult everyone? I get freedom of expression, don’t get me wrong, I’m glad you’re proud of what you believe in, but parking that offensive billboard on the doorstep of this “professional” practice every day? A little much. Because of this, I will continue to go elsewhere. Hope you are happy that your location is losing money due to your racist and bigoted arrogance that you think you need to show. ♦
