Dear nice person at the blood bank, Thanks for taking care of my issue with the gift code. A silly thing in light of everything else happening in the world. But you made my day because you were so polite. People like you make showing up at the blood center and sitting for two hours with a needle in my arm a whole lot better.

Bless you NancysSummerSip I had given 40+ pints when one time they asked if I wanted to give platelets. Of course I said yes. I have O neg and know it's in demand. I felt comfortable when it started, then they said they were stopping it due to a clot in their machine. It would take a few minutes to unhook me. I started to feel clammy and fainted. Never happened before. Afterward I went back to work but when my secretary found out she sent me home. I did get my OJ and oatmeal raisin cookie.

Friend, you have done more for me than anyone, ever. Then, last year, I was left out of a photo that was important to me with a so what. No offer to photoshop me in. This year, you mislead me that you would be replaced at work. I chained that thought to leaving town. I will be cordial but that is it.

I got a little lightheaded when I did the platelet donation; they tell me it's because of the very cold saline solution they inject to replace the blood they remove. It's not a happy place to be, but it does not last. I feel OK when it's done and can work out the next day; something I had trouble with when I donated whole blood pints. And they gave you one cookie? Sheesh, I got a whole pack and a soda.

Dear blood bank techs, And of course, the two of you reverse what the nice person on the phone did earlier this week. Yes, I understand there are standards for hemoglobin levels when it comes to platelet donation (FWIW, the level you have to hit is 13. I was a few tenths below it; more than healthy enough for me, but not good enough for them). Sorry for wasting your precious time over there. Geez, next time I will get that hemoglobin home test kit and check my own before bothering to show up and annoy you.

Dear Utility, All I wanted to do was change the name on the account from my late father to my mother. I don't know why that would require closing the account and starting a new one. I am not going to give you my mother's social security number. The account has been paid in full each month for over 50 years. Signed, Peeved

Dear 5th Wheel Camper Driver Dude at the Sonic Drive Thru, Signed, Glad I'm not your insurance agent... I think the same thing when an 18 wheeler opens the top of his rig like a tuna can because they ignore the 10 different warning signs about height levels of our tunnels. I always think insurance, loss of job and backing up friggin' traffic forever.

I always think insurance, loss of job and backing up friggin' traffic forever. that's like September 1st (college move-in day) in Boston. there's always the over/under on "how many trucks will get stuck on Storrow Drive?" - that's a scenic road that isn't highway, but bypasses a lot of surface roads, and which happens to have very low overpasses. a basic U-Haul is too tall for this road.

Dear cousin,
We know you like to over share on FB as evidenced by your wedding earlier this year. I had a clue you and your DH were trying to have a baby on FB based on a marernity shirt you commented on (that she hoped to be wearing this Christmas).
Now you’ve commented that you had another disappointment and proceeded to basically tell everyone on FB that you and your DH are trying. You’ve already texted our cousin that you’ve been trying for 2 (probably 3) months now with no success. This is the cousin who’s gotten pregnant both times unexpectedly by the way so what kind of tips do you expect her to have. My tip is to have fun having sex.
Also even if you were pregnant by Christmas, there’s no guarantee about a baby at the end...
Signed, Doesn’t put her trying to conceive on FB for the world to know as it should be a private thing between you and your DH. Also I’ve been pregnant 3 times with 1 DD to show for it The other times ended in miscarriages and found out at my 1st 8 week appointment.
ETA: Cousin-As a nurse, you should already know this... However, I do understand thinking it won’t happen to you.

Dear Nephew,
Grow the fuck up dude, multiple game requests one after another is nothing short of trolling. And the sister wonders why I don't play many games on Facebook. Putting up with her son's shit is pointless.
Seriously the sister and son team is as bad as the rats in my walls.
Signed, another game I'm no longer playing.

I think there used to be a way to block game requests in Facebook. I did it when Farmville was so popular.

Sorry taz.
I think I have blocked app invites from 99% of my FB friends who play games. I haven't seen an invite in a long time. Wait, I will get one this week.
Can't put this on FB so I will hide it here. My cousin runs a fur farm that he inherited from his parents. He grew up on it. I always hated what I saw when we went there. It was in our local paper yesterday that the farm is under investigation by the USDA for the way the conditions in which the mink, skunks and raccoons are kept. If the allegations are true (article says 4 surprise inspections since July), the conditions are just like the ones I could not stand when I was a kid and why I refused to go there. I honestly hope the USDA shuts them down, especially after what he did to his own mother.
I called DHS on this cousin because he refused to put her in a nursing home when she had Ahlzheimer's. He removed all furniture from the house except for a chair and a bed and kept her locked in the house until she finally died. Another cousin called also. We decided we had had enough of him treating our aunt this way. DHS called me back for more information shortly after she had died.
When I googled the fur farm yesterday, his son had left a 5 star rating for it. Seriously? Just this past week. He must know his parents are probably going to have to pay a large fine.
Thanks for letting me vent.

Dear Self
Next time listen to your gut and stay home with DF when he is not feeling well.
Dear DF Quit worrying about your client and let's get to urgent care. You say you cannot eat. Not sure how much you have eaten in the last 2 1/2 days. You are confused, weak and say you have a massive headache. You are a diabetic so I am not sure where your sugar is at or if you are massively dehydrated and that is what is causing your headache.
Signed
Frustrated Fiancee.

Thanks Iggy aka IG He finally quit trying to help his client. Well he was too confused to get his computer going. Urgent care sent us to the ER. He listened to the PA at the hospital and agreed to be admitted. His sugar is high and so are his Ketones are high.
