YOU - call someone to fix the damn furnace already!

That sister in law is my mother in law! What a small world!

and an update on the Turkey Hostage situation of Christmas 2006... they say we'll get our money back but we haven't seen it yet and they called honey baked ham and they are going to send us a new turkey... just as soon as more come in stock. and they are forbidden from accepting any packages for us. Ever.


You - you were very sweet. thank you for trying to make my holidays special and mean something... i'm sorry i was so grinchy and crabby about it all this year. maybe next year will be better. you did a good job and i thank you.

you - let me stay in this country. i don't want to go back to england and lose all my friends, famliy, job, security, consitency, sanity...

you - thanks for acknowledging how difficult this is for me...even when i wanna play the "i'm fine" game.

OH boy! Could I use this one right now!

You-- please stop being so mad at the world and holding on to grudges, offenses and anger as if it were a lifeline for you! I love you so much and agree with you, but there are times that you just have to let things go. You won't be "kissing people's behinds" or compromising what you think is right if you just let some things slide by.

You-- please stop being so pig-headed and stubborn and actually LISTEN to what I'm saying to you! Having a different opinion than you does not make my opinion crazy or uneducated! Also learn to be more compassionate to other people when they're hurting and upset.

You-- please learn that there should be a limit to everything and to respect your neighbors' rights to peace and quiet! Loud fireworks and pipebombs from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. is just too much and is an invasion of others' rights.

You-- just get over it and move on! I know that it's hard, but you'll never get better just by continually crying and poring over it. There comes a time when you have to just go ahead and stop looking back... it's painful and doesn't accomplish anything. It's also difficult for those around you.

Whew... that was a bit freeing but also scary for me!

You - could you just STOP playing World of Freaking Warcraft for one day in your life and spend some time with me? Would that kill you? Is your online life that much better than our life that you would rather be there than here? you suck.

well this is going to sound weird...

YOU - stop calling me for a ride to the observation site. You only want to go because you have a crush on him. You're completely useless to the work, have you noticed that the only projects he gives you are to skin dead coyotes? Because you suck at radio-tracking, baiting the traps, using the computer to enter data, and even photocopying. And I can't believe you're going to spend $1000+ on going to Yellowstone with us; you just want to spend time with him and that's not what's going to happen.

You - there are so many things I've wanted to share with you. I had the most thoughtful gift picked out for you for Christmas. I know you would be proud of my new job, and I would find your guidance and support to be a comfort right now. I miss you.

You - It would be enough if I just knew you were sorry for all the things you did when I was young. I am ready to forgive, and it would be so easy if you just knew how I felt and knew that I don't hate you now. I only want to know that you care about all the things you did, and that you are sorry.

You - What can I say? How can I thank you enough for what you have done for me? You have always been someone who set a good example and someone I could look up to as a model of how someone should live their lives. You give of yourself and expect nothing back. I hope one day I can be there for you the way you have been there for me my whole life.

You - Is it too much to ask that you pick up your messes and put things back where they go?? Is it too much to ask that after I cook a nice meal every night, make your lunch every morning, and work to keep this house together, that you don't leave your dirty socks everywhere, or dishes out for me to find in the morning? And, since I asked nicely a MONTH ago, can you FINALLY take a look at what is wrong with the truck?? All I ask is that you appreciate what I do, and try not to make my work at home twice as hard.

You left out peeing in the floor and leaving the seat up.

Oh, and emptying pockets on the counter every night, even though there's a JAR for that.

And leaving all the condiment containers on the table ALL THE TIME.

And getting up at 4:30 a.m. every morning and watching TV with the volume turned WAY up.

Hmmmmmmm........YOU(me --do your own "you" entry!

Well, he has been trained about the pee and seat. I flat out told him not to even think of leaving the bathroom like that! LOL

And yes, I totally know what you mean with the condiments and pocket clutter everywhere in the house!!!

The toilet is one of our constant battles. He actually even bought some of those Clorox clean-up wipes so "we" could keep the toilet rim clean. So far, the only ones that have been used are those that I've used before PUTTING THE SEAT DOWN!!!!

LOL

Yeah, it is always "we" can do this and "we" will definitely keep this clean!

Even though:

1) You don't make the mess
2) There is never a "we" that actually even does it. Only you. lol

That wipe story is classic, I laughed quite a bit at that one!

Getting the "you" thread back on track:

You--You live in Ohio and I live in Arkansas--How can we be married to the same man?

You--do you have a twin from whom you were separated at birth?
