Why do you use parcel force instead?

"Parcel force"? Is that some kind of cardboard-box-carrying special ops?

Well ask Tonya...........Charleston's is that a candy bar factory? Are there expressway's in OK?

It's a steakhouse. And the Northwest "Expressway" is the most frustrating piece of street in the state. Okies, you see, are downright baffled by the outdoors when they drive.

Tonya says it's the OKC firemen who are cute.

"piece of street" that's funny! Tonya is correct, I forgot all about those men :)

I just received the book in the mail today and it is absolutely beautiful, so much more than I could ever have expected. I just want to thank every one of you who contributed, each letter was spectacularly beautiful and filled with so much hope and wisdom! I just wish I could give everyone a huge group hug right now!

i just got mine!!!! i saw it...sitting in my mailbox. i almost couldn't open it. i sat down in front of the fire and started reading...then crying. it's so beautiful. and matt...i was so happy you included my handwritten part about kicking rapist ass! i wasn't sure if that would make the cut! and then to include that i won my case....tears! and to read everyone's letters...to see your handwriting...that was so cool. i loved the intros by matt to so many of the letters. the whole book was so intimate and hopeful and honest. i'm so impressed by everyone and proud as well. and the artwork and colors...just gorgeous. well done!!!!!!!!! :)

Aren't you glad I didn't ruin the surprise, poodle? :)

I just got Matt's signed copy today. That copy will stay on my bookshelf. I hope to be able to get every writer to sign the book someday.

i searched in the preview of the book today. ..I'm impatient!!!..besides its amazon's fault. Anyway I found my letter and I think I made a typo in my letter :( Which makes a big section make no sense whatsoever. Grr. I wrote my letter out a stupid amount of times...correcting most mistakes along the way. Then I miss this one which was more important than spelling survivor (for example) right for the umpteenth time
