Starting a thread for users to randomly post whatever they're doing at the moment. Think of it like Twitter for Crave:

One rule - start your post with "Dear blog".

Dear blog,
I have yet another induction to do for a new member of staff, and I am far too busy.

Dear blog,
I am glad to see that people are adding to comma to the mandatory "Dear blog" text.

In other news, about to start more proof reading of my masters thesis. I'll be so glad when it's finished and I can move on with my life :-)

Dear Blog,
If somebody does not know what I mean by cactus, he does not deserve to know.

Dear blog,
This is the first time since my last "Dear blog" post that there hasn't been a new reply on the board somewhere. So, I'm making a run for it and getting back to my thesis!

Dear blog,
As this is 'our' forum, I believe we should set a few rules.
1. Absolutely NO using of the acronym 'LOL'

Dear blog,
I'll do my best not to say "LOL", but I'm not promising!

Dear blog,
I've been proof reading for so long today, that I feel punch-drunk!

Any chance of this thread being stickied, please?

Dear Blog,

Dave, get off the computer, NOW! Go out. Do something. Go to the local ASDA and buy something. You need a rest dude.
