Dear RG,

I like all of the advice posted here. You attract such nice commentators – like bees to a flower. In all of the stories and ups/downs that you write about … you always come out like Cinderella – finally getting to the Ball. Keep the Faith, dear Cinderella … write out the good, bad, and ugly in words today … but remember, the Ball awaits you … out there, swirling and whirling … the loveliness will come back.

p.s. sorry about the duplication, I had to correct my typos …. could you delete that one for me? ty.

Did that for ten years – couldn’t complain to “Personnel” because the “boss” *was* Personnel – but I’m damn stubborn

Good luck to you -

Tell your boss to follow through on his promise. If not, his loss. There are more things to do in life. Go visit daughter for the holidays. Or come to Vegas, we have a spare room.

You have RG Daughter, Son, Facebook Friend and Great Guy at your back. And you yourself have concluded that when it comes to the job ‘it’s only money you don’t have.’ There’s a silver lining here for you somewhere, RG, I know there is. Chin up, old girl!

Hang in there, RG. Just remember, “This too shall pass”.

Times like these demand the Suz mantra (for times like these): Breathe in. Breathe out. RG, so sorry things aren’t working out as you’d hoped. Been there a few times myself. Your resilient spirit will carry you through to brighter times. I know this about you from your brutally honest blogging. Keep the faith. (And I liked the first version of this confession as much as I do this one).

Fuck it. Not to the situation, or what you have to do, but how it affects you.

It’s just now. And now doesn’t last forever.

Sorry you’re having a rough patch there, RG. I’ve only been to Key West once and thought it was a nice place to visit. Once one looked behind the facade, it seemed empty, like a Disney movie soundstage. Or like The Wizard of Oz….”Ignore the man behind the curtain!”. Good luck with whatever you choose to do.

Sorry that is happening to you. It’s not fair. Especially right before the holidays. I hope they get their heads out of their arses as soon as possible.

Hi RG,
Sorry things are f**ked up. Life can throw some damn wrenches in the mix, can’t it. For you, this is a bad reality; for me, your reader, it is a challenge that I follow with true interest and compassion and I never doubt that you will be celebrating a victory down the road. Hope your good moments far outweigh the f**ked ones. Love from Singapore–Sarah
