Dear Shookie:

Good morning! “It would be nice to have you as a neighbor… Most of the people here can afford to hire people to do their maintenance whereas the women do their little jogging in all of their labeled W@#&% clothing while I am in shorts and a tee shirt mowing grass/cleaning my gutters and chain sawing tree limbs so they won’t hit my house– I would want you as a neighbor, not the fancy joggers. I am impressed that you are able to use a chain saw!

“I have been pet-sitting for a few of my neighbors while they are on their cruises and trips around the world.  They show me pictures and there is so much I feel I am missing….I would like to move to Montana, another dream“- I have no desire whatsoever to go on cruises or trips around the world. Living in  a place like Montana, on the other hand, would be a desire, if I wasn’t already living outside the city limit, pretty much in the woods.

“He left me a giant Candy Cane on a chair I have outside“- that’s nice, but he is “still living with his ex after 20 years” (title of your thread), so…

“I cried, it was a good cry thinking of Christmas when I was little and how excited I was about Christmas…” – treasure the good memories. I am smiling as I think of .. your memories.
