Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I believe you, but...tabby thing.

I know! And that is the way they taught me in school! But I don't know why!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I'm reading tabby as the feline markings, and thinking, "cats aren't so good at the organization - they'll file their hairballs ANYWHERE.

Plus, if I get bored with filing a third of the way through? Whiskers ain't gonna make it through 2.

Trust my rage

ita, I think that letter sounds pretty good - I thought it did a much better job of explaining what happened to you.

eta: I'm not sure this is necessary, but I might add one sentence saying something like, "My purpose in sending this letter is to inform you of the type of treatment I received at your hospital on [date]." Makes the implicit explicit, although that is a matter of style/choice.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

ita, I am enraged by your treatment.

Kat, can I come visit Graciegirl on Sunday?

I just got my dad his combo father's day/birthday gift. Three tickets to the zoo, and tickets to Canobie Lake amusement park.

It's stuff he can do with my mom and his grandson, so he should be stoked. I hope.

Oh, one question, ita: Century or Culver?

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

I like that letter.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Excellent letter. Very clear about what happened and why it's a problem.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I think it's a great letter, ita. My usual policy is to cc the known world, including the president, chairman of the board, vp over the area in question and marketing/pr.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Agreeing with everyone else that revised ita-letter is fantastic.

Kat, I'm so sorry that you (and Grace!) are having to deal with idiots at that hospital.
