mr:
if you're going to be an ass the entire 2+ weeks you are on vacation, it's going to be very long & painful, but not just for Me, bc I will ensure that your life sucks too. payback can be a real bitch and so can I.
I know you're stressed, but you brought that on yourself by what you're looking into. I'm still somewhat pissed you didn't discuss it w/me first, that whole 'consideration thing' I tried to make you understand but , whatever.
I flat out told you, or *tried * to voice my worry over my mom's upcoming tests; she could have CANCER. do have any clue how scary that is to me? ? any at all??
for now I will avoid you like the plague, bc I know w/ the mood you're in, nothing I do will be right or ok.
in advance?
fuck you & the horse you rode in on,
wife

dear mom,

hmm..lets see...i have been 'fighting' with you since day one when i refused solid food for a year....was stubborn with school cuz it was 'boring'....and resistant to change and then changing all the time as a teen...when i said i wanted to move away to england at the precocious age of 14, to which you commented "but then i can't visit often" to which i replied "i know" is just scraping off the top.

we've had our big fights and messy makeups...and currently i tolerate you fairly well. However...

when it comes to MY decisions about MY life and MY body, the decision is MINE, NOT YOURS!
irregardless of your decision to get knocked up 3 months into marriage..that was YOUR decision...

Me and mr. gb may not have children of the human species...simply because we can't afford them, have a place for them, or want to deal with them and the responsibilities and heartache and gray hairs that come with it. And you had better respect our rights to not have kids. None of that crap lines "you'll understand when you have your own"...no...not here....i have raised 25 sheep, 4 dogs, countless cats, 5 rabbits, even had an eel hand trained to feed, some pigs and even a goat or two...but kids..no. i'll take a horse with colic over a child. Especially when you disregard my instructions for feeding my cat. How am i supposed to trust you with a child, especially after that comment that other day about how you actually don't like young children? bleh.

you are a big hypocrite....and about alot more than i am willing to share here.

And the Religion-shoving-down-the-throat can end now. Cuz if it is "really between god and me" then BUTT OUT!!! let me and god talk this one out and then we might let you in on it.

I do love you but we are leaving ASAP. For sanity's sake.

-holding it together with crazy glue

PS. btw, all the religious pictures you got from your last trip, its just downright creepy.

Dear you,

I need you to be happy for me when I hang out with new people. Last night I had open-ended, thoughtful conversations like I possibly haven't had for years. That is why I love going out with new people, to hear different perspectives and thus expand mine a little.

Everything else is all good, just be pleased for me that I'm having fun and learning about folks. And I had a little boogie which was the most fun. Fun is good; I think we could do with more of it.

Cheers. I'll miss you when I'm/you're away, probably like a ton of bricks. Take care out there.

Love,
Me

dear kidlet's english teacher,

i've always had a soft spot for english teachers. it was my favorite subject, and those wonderful, caring, perceptive teachers taught me more than anyone ever has. even tho my kid complained about your excessive work load, and your horrendously convoluted grading system, i gave you the benefit of the doubt these past two years. i wanted to believe that, deep down, you WERE a good teacher, and that you appreciated my son's hard work & intelligence, and that you were giving him precious kernels of literary appreciation.

but if you think i'm going to let this out-of-the-fucking-blue D/F slide, you're sorely mistaken. if you somehow think that this is a legitimate final grade, i will make your life a LIVING HELL. and if it is based on some sort of actual reality, why the fuck wouldn't you notify me that there was severe and sudden backsliding going on?!

even if this is a mistake - because YOU fucked up, because i don't even think YOU understand your own grading system - and you correct it, you've proven that you are, in reality, a suckass, highly-disorganized teacher. either way, i vow not to let you ruin the love of literature for my son. and i certainly won't let you piss on his self-esteem.

in fury and disappointment,
mandi, mama bear extraordinaire

dear ____

i need to talk to you about something important to me. something that was bothering me a lot. i just needed you to listen. you blew me off and then gave me an apology so insincere that a 10 year old could have seen through it

and now you don't understand why i am still upset. you are not that stupid. give me a fucking break.

Dear Self,

I am proud of you. I don't think you realize how much you are actually accomplishing with your life. You're a working student who devotes 90% of your time to the work that you do. Don't feel guilty for those infrequent lazy days.

Don't beat yourself up for making a mistake here and there. So you studied the wrong chapter and thus failed the first quiz--you might not get an "A" in a course this time, but that doesn't mean you're not learning. Today you were outstanding; you sat in class for four hours and understood everything the prof was saying. E.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. And Physiological Psychology is a very technical subject... especially for a fine arts major.

So go on your vacation without regret. You -deserve- this camping trip. I know you will give everything in life your utmost effort. Please the do same for having fun.

Cheer up. Breathe. I believe in you.

Always,
-S

Dear beautiful best friend,

Lesbian relationships can be abusive too. Abusers know no gender. Everything you've said, everything she's done, the very idea of her and the manipulation and the domination she has put you through. It's wrong. It's just so so wrong. You deserve better. You deserve respect and support and love and cuddles and sweetness and mildness and creativity and joy.

If your instinct was to take your car and your puppy and leave, then that's what you need to do. I know you said she'd never hurt you. But did you ever think she'd kick in a door, throw a coffee mug, punch a plant and throw a tantrum? And then tell you that it was your fault? For talking to her about something that was bothering you? Maybe you were harping on a topic that she was sick of, but a healthy adult does not react like that.

You are supposed to be able to say anything to your partner without worrying that you are going to trigger a violent episode. Why is it that my boyfriend seems to understand more about your personality than your partner?

Please, honey.

I know that I broke an unwritten rule today when I told you to leave her. I know friends are not supposed to do that. Unless they believe you are in physical danger. And I think you are. And you have to leave. Please?

I love you and I'm worried about you and I wish I was there with you,

Kat

To everyone in the BUSTing trolls thread:

I love you all, I really do. I am as guilty as the next for the snarky replies, the tearing apart of others, the troll hunting.

But I am pleading with you all:

Please. Please, let's stop this train right now, before we derail the reason we've all come here in the first place.

We don't want to chase off now only newbies, but our beloved, established members as well.

One trollish poster is not worth all this heacache and BUSTie on BUSTie drive-by's.

Pretty pwease?

Dear RWW,

Dear MM
I love you dearly, but if you get the bathroom floor any wetter, because after 35 years one still has not learned how to pull the shower curtain all the way shut, and then LEAVE THE FLOOD WITH THE SHOWER MATT (floating, soaking wet), LIKE A FUCKING ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR NOW BATHROOM OCEAN, I will have to kill you.

Tired of getting my socks soaked after your after work shower,
Your loving wife.
***********************
Dear Customer who was a freakin cunt today on the phone...

BITE MY BIG ASS. I don't work for you, and if someone is going to do all that for your floor for 75 freaking cents a square foot, and do a great job to boot, FUCK HIM. Seriously. Cause at least you'll be ontop for the screwing he's going to give you.

Love always,
your friendly neighborhood flooring professional

Dear Mother Nature,
When I was begging for the rain to stop long enough to build an arc to put the animals on, I didn't mean for you to then delay it so that I have rain the entire time I am away next week. I'd love to be able to swim in the pool at least every OTHER day, please? Pretty please with whipped cream and a cherry and everything?
(Here's to hoping mother nature is a man so I can work my feminine wiles on him and bat my eyelashes....)
Hugs and love
me

Dear Universe,
Thank you. Thank you, thankyou, thankyou. For the amazing dream job, the cool (and free!) rental for the rest of the summer, and for amazing friends.

Mom,

You were right. Things did work out. I should have listened.

mt.

CW,

MY JOB IS BETTER THAN YOUR JOB, bitch.

[zoya]

oh good god, boy..

don't blow me off, do you think I wanna be your girlfriend or something? Or that I'm gonna assume somethings going on or something since we hooked up? Come on, I'm a grown woman.

I just have a great time talking and stuff with you. I'd like to keep in touch on a fairly regular basis. Don't be a little boy (even though you are one) and do the blow off. No reason.

dammit!

Mr.B,
After reading through some very old e-mails yesterday it saddens me that I can't sit down and have a talk with you. WTF were you thinking? WTF was I thinking? I have e-mails chronicling our whole "relationship" and our conversations about my divorce. Right now I would like nothing more than to smack you upside the head! YOU cried in shoulder all the time about your ex wife, but got tired of hearing me talk about mine rather quickly. You went postal on your ex wife's boyfriend....and yet sat idlly by while I was going through so much. You wanted us to see other people, but every time I did, you got jealous and wanted to be exclusive...and then the very topper....telling me you wanted to marry me, AFTER I was already engaged to Mr.P!!! You really are a rat. You soooo did not deserve me. Between my depression, your neuroticism, and the "other factors" I was dealing with, I'm amazed that it only took me 6 months of pills and a year of therapy to get better. And you....you are still the miserable man who's hand I held so many times to keep you from doing something stupid. I treated you right...and yet in the end you gave up our friendship to pursue a woman just as controlling and demeaning as your mother and your exwife. I guess you just can't function unless you are being whipped. You really are such a sorry figure. I do not understand at all why R is friends with you. You are so opposite.
I know it's my fault for going back through old e-mails. But everything is going so right since I met Mr. P I feel like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I hope K enjoys wiping your ass as you slip further into dementia. At least you spared me that. I just hope someday you come back to the club when I am singing Kelly Clarkson. Just once I'd like to tell you off...even if it's in a song.
evil pixie
Oh yeah...and for all those e-mails..FUCK YOU!

mom,
be ok.
I had a bad feeling about fridays test, and this explains why you didn't call to tell me it was ok.
I know you're more worried than you let on.
going to do some research to find out more,

dear g,

i hope that you're understanding of my situation and you're not mad.

Dear You. You know who you are, even if I don't. I don't appreciate you tampering with the valve that I had locked and chained out. I could have been killed. My phone number was written clearly on that tag along with a big huge DANGER, DO NOT OPEN THIS VALVE.

You didn't even try to contact me. I know, because my pager showed no pages whatsoever.

It takes a lot of screwing around to manage to open a valve with a chain around the handle. I bet it took you an hour or better. You couldn't contact me in that time frame?

If I ever find out who you are, your job will be at risk.
