When I come in for an oil change, all I want is an oil change. Quit trying to get me to spend hundreds of dollars on unnecessary work. It's a Toyota, after all, and my regular mechanic tells me most of what you want to do is BS.
Seriously close to being a former Toyota owner,
Sandy
Dear Appliance Manufacturers:
How do you arrange it so that SEVERAL different appliances all seem to crap out at the same time? My refrigerator alternately freezes and warms things, my microwave oven door seems iffy, and last night the dehumidifier started emitting a not-so-pleasant smell. Nothing is more than 13 years old. These are not my first appliances but their predecessors all seemed to last much longer.
Soon to be in-debt homeowner,
Sandy

Dear Garden Slugs,
Please get OUT of my yard. Weather wise this has been the worst summer in my history and you aren't helping much by making lace out of my broccoli leaves.
Lady with the flashlight coming to pick your ass off my plants,

Dear Lucy,
The next time you see one of those striped black and white cats that waddle, leave it alone! Your little face still stinks and I'm tired of washing your bedding,
The loving mom you've got wrapped around your paw,
Sandy

Dear Rosey,
Please stop looking so old. It makes me sad to realize you aren't the cute little puppy we brought home from Canada 9 years ago, and you aren't going to be with us forever and ever.
The loving wife of the man you have wrapped around your paw,
Sandy

Dear Readers,
This is fun! If you want to give it a go, grab the button from my side bar (courtesy of Kat at 3 Bedroom Bungalow) and go!

Dear Sandy,
This was a very fun post and I look forward to reading more!
Thanks!

About your refridgerator... I'd have someone who is relatively technically minded to take a look at either the defrost heater or the defrost thermostat (both located in the freezer). I used to work as an appliance tech, and I'm thinking thats where the problems may lie.
No guarantees, though. ;)
Don't get me started on Toyota.
A former Toyota owner.
A pie tin filled with beer will solve your garden woes. Serve it to your slugs and they will leave your leafy greens behind forever as they party off towards Jesus.
Donna....I’ve heard that and haven’t tried it lately. This is the first in many years I’ve had such a problem. The only issue with the beer is that it’s been raining often at night. Will they like deluted beer, do you think?
I LIKE the open letters.
Why is it that all I get is a brain fart when I see a writing prompt?
I probably have several options to make the open letter workable (my Camry is at the dealership right NOW! My dishwasher is a piece of crap.), but I failblog instead.
You did a good job.
I got nothing.
These are very funny and probably pretty cathartic, too. But like Savant, I get a brain fart (or fot, if you live in RI) whenever I'm presented with a writing prompt, too. I'll have to give it some thought.
stopping by from Kats....I feel you on the aging puppy....seems like yesterday not 13 years ago that I got my "first" baby
LOL - that was so funny. We too often have problems with those little black and white cats. Peeeeeeeeeyouuuuuuuuuu!!!! My dryer just crapped out, and it too is NOT that old. Perhaps 4 years?
That was entertaining. I may join up after my company leaves and vacations are over. Cute idea.
LOL that was GREAT thanks for SHaring. OMGosh your blog is SUPER cute I luv it
I'm stalking u oopps I mean FOllowing U
coming by from SITS to say HEllo
I'm here from Kat's.
On the garden slugs. Make sure you have them all off and put copper strips around the perimeter - something about the copper repels them. If you don't have copper strips, you could try pennies, but I'm not sure if that would work - they don't have as much copper in them as they used to.
Hi Sandy,
Thanks for your super kind visit today. I always appreciate it.
Hope you car gets better soon.
Have a wonderfully blessed weekend.
~Warmly, Melissa :)
We found a trusty mechanic and I swear he's worth more than gold!
Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest!
I hate taking my car to the dealership for work, they always try to make me do more than whats needed!
My favorite is the slug letter - all professional and diplomatic - and then you go all "Shaft!" on 'em.
:)
So Funny! Happy Saturday to you! I am slowly making my way around to all the blogs that visited me when I was featured on SITS to say "Thank you". It is indeed a fabulous SITStahood.
Be blessed!
Laughing Idiot...that's a remedy I hadn't heard.
Melissa...there's nothing WRONG with my car! Despite what the dealer was trying to pull on me.
DeeDee...I guess it's a common 'problem.' It must work on some people.
Ginger...Glad you apprecited my enthusiasm...I HATE slugs!!
Try drying out egg shells and then sprinkling them around your plants. I'm not sure about slugs, but snails hate it. Also, it's good for your plants.
Great letters. Isn't it nice to let it out? I look forward to writing my Dear So and So letters every Friday.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. After hopping over here I absolutely know which pair of my shoes is your favorite. :)
I think that this is a pretty good idea. You get to get stuff off your chest and have some fun doing it.
I can relate to your Toyota incedent, let me tell you Dodge is no better. It's why I traded in my Charger for a Honda. Well kinda teh reason, gas prices did have a little effect on that.
This does look like it could be fun. LOL
Totally delightful! And I couldn't agree with you more about the Toyota folks!
