And Katia hitting the Mexican coast as well! - prayers are with everyone in their respective paths!

Mexico was also hit by a very strong earthquake. How much more can everybody endure?

Dear You:

HATE is HATE no matter what "side" you are on. A BULLY is a BULLY not matter what "side" you're on. You don't see yourself as a hater or a bully for some reason. If someone doesn't respect and honor your life choices, they are homophobic bigots. Yet, you do not respect and honor life choices made by others. It goes both ways. If you want to be respected, try showing some respect for your family who have made other lifestyle/religious choices.

Dear Dental Receptionist:
You are the face of the practice, and as far as I can tell, you don't have a very nice face (over the phone that is!).
I called yesterday, because my crown popped off, and you told me there's nothing available until next week. I asked about Saturday (today), because I knew you offered those hours. You told me very rudely that you're not open every Saturday...
I was in the area today, so I drove to your office, and what do you know? You're open, not busy (the very nice receptionist told me she was bored), and they took me in at 9:45 and the tooth was fixed at 10:30!!!
Unfortunately, rude receptionist, I don't know your name, but I know if your employer would know about this, you might loose your job (not a very big loss indeed!)
P.S.: Yesterday, after I had accepted your 1pm appointment for Monday, I thought that making a 60 mile roundtrip from work and back and therefore losing one hour of work (and my lunch) did not make sense, and after today, I like you even less.

Dear P.,

The article you posted scared the living daylights out of me. It's borderline hate speech. You maintain that you are right and everyone else is wrong. Yet you continue to avoid and insulate yourself from people whose beliefs differ from yours. I know people who work in that profession and they are not all what the author of the article you posted claims they are. He is using a couple of extreme examples to paint the entire group with a very broad brush, and that's not right. You really need to get out more and spend time with people who are not like you. The one thing we have in common is not enough to keep me in our affinity group for much longer. Don't point out the log in someone else's eye until you do something about the speck in your own.

Sad and angry at the same time,
E.

Dear friends up in west Michigan, yes, I would like very much to go to the tulip festival up in Holland next year! And to go to the beach! And maybe even take a drive up to see the Grand Hotel! (Which I've heard is very beautiful and luxurious) Thank you for suggesting it!
