Gosh. I have many You's for one single person:

You! Don't invite me over to your house and take a nap while I'm there.

You! When I go to your house, I'm not there to babysit your stepgranddaughter. I'm 21. Stop saying I should play with a 7-year-old because she's "my size." (Yes, I'm short.)

You! Stop offering me bad, fatty, and sweet foods and asking me WHY I won't eat it. I already told you why.

You! Don't talk down to my parents about gambling. If they have the money, they can use it any way they want to. Don't tell me you "worked too hard for your money to gamble." Are you saying my parents didn't work for theirs?

You! Don't ask me when my parents are going to visit. Why don't you go visit them? They have a business to run. You don't.

You! Don't look down on people of races other than yours. If you haven't noticed, I'm not of your race either. If you talk about other people, I wonder if you talk about me behind my back too.

You! Why did you buy me "girly clothes" for my birthday when I told you I wanted the Walk Away The Pounds DVDs. If you're not going to buy what I want, then please do not ask.

You! Stop buying me child-sized Hello Kitty pajamas sets! It freaks your son out when I wear them to bed, some of them don't even fit, and I already have so many already--ALL FROM YOU!

You! Stop showing up unannounced. I'm not the best housekeeper in the world.

You! If you have no involvement in our financial situation (like giving us a few grand), please do not comment on it. We're not poor just because we don't want to buy stupid, expensive pictures from Bed Bath & Beyond. We just don't like stupid, expensive pictures!

You! Stop making your son hold his baby nephew. He clearly is uncomfortable holding infants. Stop pushing the baby onto his chest when he tries to push the baby away.

You! Whether or not I decide to have children is OUR CHOICE. Quit telling us that we should have children because they're "fun." It won't be so "fun" when we run out of money. And stop saying that you'll adopt our child. I'm not going to have a baby JUST to give it away. ******.

You! Stop planning my wedding! And NO, it's not going to be in your backyard! We're not even officially engaged yet!

You! Stop calling my cellphone, asking where your son is. You do this EVERYTIME. If you want to talk to him, call HIM, not ME.

You~get your act together. 2 pieces of cake does not a healthy diet make. You'll be 39 next month. Don't see 40 as a fatty. (<---Hey!! Maybe that's my...er, I mean, her new mantra.)

You~I don't know what you want me to say. If you have a particular answer in mind, why don't you just give it me, I'll repeat it, and we'll be done. M'kay?

You~You can't treat people like crap one minute and expect them to be over it the next just because you are. It's a "reap what you sow kind of deal". You've been sowing thornbushes for a while now. I've been pricked one time too many. So, no I don't want to go to lunch with you. TYVM.

You~man, I love your little freckles.

You~I can't believe you are starting MIDDLE SCHOOL!!! Seems like just yesterday.....

You~It's been a great fifteen years. The best of times and the worst of times...but I wouldn't trade them.

YOU - stop being a sexist pig with no backbone! Stand by your first decisions!

YOU - stop airing your dirty laundry in public and stop letting it affect others who REALLY DON'T CARE

YOU - if you want to cheat on your girlfriend, then cheat. If you want to cheat on her without anyone else knowing, then do it when no-one else is around, don't exclude people from group activities just because you want to get your end away.

YOU - don't presume that we'd be stupid and/or mean enough to betray a confidence

YOU - like we even SEE your girlfriend anyway?

ME - practice practice practice

Oh and You - you know I DO love you to the ends of the earth. Spending time with stupid people makes me wish I could spend more time with you, and makes me realise just how much I love you. I just wish you weren't so insecure

You~ Get off your butt and find that fluff of motivation!! Come on, you only have 10 pounds to go, DON"T GIVE UP YET!!!!!

Techwife it's souns like you and I live in the same house! LMAO

YOU - need to stop calling me only when you want something from me.

YOU - need to not poke my pudge when i'm eating a snack that isnt the healthiest.

YOU - need to be supportive of where i want to go in life and have the faith in me that i have in myself.

YOU - need to stop pouting and get up doing something about it.

YOU - need to let yourself love yourself, while YOU need to love yourself a little less.

YOU - need to listen to me cry sometimes too.

This is the kind of thread that would make a great book!

You- stop calling me all the time- nothing new has happened in the last hour and I am trying to get stuff done!

you- I miss your hugs so much- sometimes if I close my eyes I can feel your caress again... I miss you. I wish I could have changed the tragedy that took you from us. I wish life had a re-start button.

You- I am *not* old. I am the same beautiful young vibrant girl inside that I was before you were born. The mirror does not reflect the spirit hidden within. I am in a cuccoon right now till you kids are old enough to fly away. Then the butterfly will again emerge.

You- if you are smart you wont have kids at all.

YOU - Stop changing your MIND! I'm not going to jump, just because you snap your fingers.

YOU - you HURT me. I don't think it'll mend that easy

You~ stop feeling quilty for having a good time!

You and you~I may not be able to have my own kids so stop saying "the bloodline rests on my shoulders"

You- You did housework for the first time in months today...doing a dish does not entitle you to belittle others' work.

You- Stop making comments about my weight. You're twice my size.

You- Please understand that what I do IS WORK!

You- Don't compare me to other artists. It's not accurate and it's not right.

You- If you're going to grill me on my projects, and then say "Oh...that's, ah...nice..." stay the **** out of my studio, please!

You- You hurt me a lot. I care about you, and when you make those mean little comments it hits me pretty hard.

You- Don't touch me.

You- I love you so much, and I would never hurt you intentionally. I wish that you would love yourself a little more and stop being so defensive.

You-(Okay...me.)- Speak up dearie, I can't effing HEAR YOU! Don't analyze, just do.

So, is this helping anyone to vent like this?

YOU: If you don't get yourself together soon, you are going to lose the best thing you ever had. You know what to do--just do it.

YOU: You are the sexiest thang! <grin>

YOU: I am NOT an effin' mindreader!!

YOU: Thanks for listening to me and let me cry (twice this week--GEEZ!)

YOU: Get your hiney back on track and get those pounds off! (Okay, this one was for me, obviously...)

I'm loving this thread - I have so much to vent about at the moment, and it's just one big messy situation. It's going to get worse I can tell. However, I am going to be mature about it and not sound off to anyone's face. I WILL sound off here though!

YOU - what makes you think "us girls" don't need to get away from our SOs too?

YOU - so it's "always been this way" SO? Things change, tough cookies.

YOU - I wish you'd make up your flamin mind and stick to it!

YOU - you're such a flake, thanks for landing me with your class because you can't be bothered

YOU - if it's a weekend for everyone, why are you coming, you're not even part of the everyone who it's for now?

YOU - GROW. UP.

Me - chill out, take the rough with the smooth, I'm sure it'll be fun in the end!

You are not cute. You are not funny. You are just a rude, bitter woman who will never be where you want to be until you let go of that on-line romance who doesn't want you. If he did, he'd be here, not traipsing all over creation without you--everywhere but here. You need to get over your "do it right" attitude because some of us don't care to live in your tidy little world. Really! Who gives a rat's *** that my tea pitcher has been in the break room fridge for a week? Who made you the Queen of the Fridge? Get over yourself already.

You~~ You've been the best doggie on the planet. I'm so sorry your leg hurts. If I could make it better, I would. I'm praying the doctor will have good news for us.

YOU - I do NOT need to know intimate details of your contraception problems and/or your lover's - I don't even know your last name for chrissakes! Oh, and I don't really care! Oh, and I AIN'T getting the violins out - how OLD are you anyway???
