Open Letters

My cat died because he kicked it.  He was wearing steal toed boots and his liver ruptured.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Open Letters : Someone was talking about her on E last week. WTF is the story behind that? And seriously stabbing a person because they are hitting on your FI? I don't mind women (or men) hitting on H- it boosts his self-esteem (TMI, that's a major plus in the bedroom) and I can be like "haha, he's mine, bitches."

But Mara!  She had PMDD (is that the severe form of PMS?)  So it's totally understandable. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-undecided.gif" border="0" alt="Undecided" title="Undecided" />  Hormones just got the best of her.

Dude, you're crazy.  I don't care why you threw a hammer at someone, or why you are threatening to go back to jail over a phrase.  Both of those point to crazy to me.

Dear Friend,
Please stop whining about being perpetually broke.  Your extraordinary overindulgence of your children is the reason you cannot afford to shop for your Christmas dinner.  They do not need a new toy every. single. time you leave the house.  You wonder why they're not excited for Christmas?  Because they receive gifts almost every day of the year, and more stuff just isn't that interesting anymore.
Love, your exasperated friend.


Dear Tide's neighbor,
Back off, bitch, or you're going to have one angry SB mob at your door.
Love,
Les

Agreed. While it sucks that your cat died (and I am sorry about that, it's horrible), the whole "I don't mind going back to jail" reeks of crazy. Especially over something so minor.

Why did he kick your cat? Who was the guy and why didn't he go to jail for animal abuse?

In reference to the "crazy talk" on here, I'd like to direct your attention to the following link on E.

Dear MM,

Yes, it really was discussed on E.  Kind of an off-handed remark, but still.  I think it's in the "Best threads of 2010" or whatever thread.  Where my tongue-in-cheek comment also got picked on, because apparently they don't recognize hypocrisy over on those parts of TK.

I'm sorry and that really really sucks. You should have pressed charges against him for animal cruelty or something so he would be the one getting in trouble and possibly going to jail.

Exactly.  There are better ways to handle that type of a situation than to throw a hammer at him.

Aw, sunkissed. That stabby story was NUTS! I wonder whatever happened to her.

1ofThoseDays

I was a kid at the time, and upset because the guy had killed my cat.  If that happened now, I would react differently.  Please get off my back for making a mistake when I was younger.
And the comment about going back to jail was a joke.  Why would I put myself into that situation when I could just go to HR and have it fixed?  Thank you for trying to be a bully.

Dear Lab,

It's 55 degrees in here today.  Yesterday it was 53 degrees.  I can't stand to work in your miserable climate.  Why are your vents blowing cold air in December in NJ?  I don't understand.  What's worse, you mess up my experiments, because guess what - many of them are temperature sensitive!  So, thanks for that.  Boss called the Physical Plant again, but I know once they come and "fix" you, you will only be warm for a couple days and then go back to the frigid temperatures.  How do I know that, you ask?  Because you have been like this for the past 4 YEARS.  You suck, and I hate you.

Sincerely,
Disgruntled Lab Member

Oh, and, the reason the charges got dropped against me was because he was a government contractor for something having to do with animals and if he got convicted of animal abuse he would have lost his job.  I dropped the charges against him and he dropped the charges against me.

maratea

How old were you? Because at a certain age, you stop being a 'kid' and start being just a reactionary adult.

I was 12

Oh honey, you're on Snarky Brides.  This is what we do.  If you're going to hang out here you better get used to it.  We will call you on stupid shiit you say and do.

Also, clearly the courts thought you were out of line as well, otherwise you woudldn't have gone to jail.

I still want to know who the guy was and why he kicked the cat.

Dear Dad,

Please don't call me from you cell phone while I'm at work, I automatically think something horrible happened to mom b/c you never call me. Please also don't tell me you "can't find cashmere gloves" for mom, when you haven't even tried going to oh I don't know, a department store. Just come out and ask me to pick them up for you. You know I will say yes b/c I don't know how to say no to people.

Dear shoppers,

Please don't over crowd the strip mall by my office this afternoon so I can actually find a parking spot and go into the stores for a few minutes and pick up some last minute gifts. Unlike yesterday when I drove around for 30 minutes aimlessly searching for a spot.

Dear family and friends,

Just because I buy you a gift from a certain store doesn't mean I like that store for myself. I means I think you'd like it. Please stop buying me things from Anthropologie, it's really not my style. It took me an hour yesterday to use most of my merchandise credit to find something I could give to someone else for Christmas, the rest I gave to the next person in line.

Dear self,
Why did you forget to set an alarm to get up and see the eclipse? You were talking about it all day...lame hoar.

Love,

K

The guy was my brother's friend.  He kicked Fuzz because he had just gotten into a fight with his girl friend and he was a jerk.  Fuzz was there, he was mad, he kicked him.

So in other words, the courts did not say your actions were okay, or justified.  You just got lucky that the guy had more to lose and dropped the charges.  Yup, you're not really making yourself sound any saner.

OMGWTF? All that for credit card debt? She needs a serious time out in Jail, I think. Way to spin a tale about "stabby" emails, though. WOW.

I don't care what you think.  I never said that it was the right thing to do, but I did it.  I cna't change that now, so how is giving me a hard time about it going to help?

If you don't want to be judged on it don't put it out there.  If you hadn't said anything we'd have no idea how crazy you were.

Also, maybe you should  read that thread Tide linked.

I can't understand why you mentioned going back to jail if you didn't want someone to ask you about it. And by jail, wouldn't you mean Juvie? Because I can't imagine putting a 12 year old in adult jail for throwing a hammer. This is weird. And still kind of crazy.

tidetravel

1 - I like you.  We all say stupid shiit on these boards from time to time.  Just let it go, and people will move on.

 

NuggetBrain

Tru fax though - if someone kicked my cat hard enough to rupture it's liver, while I wouldn't throw a hammer at him, he'd have two seconds to get the f*ck out of my reach before I planted a fist in his mouth or a knee to his balls.  Srsly.

In Illinois, they can put you into jail if the crime is murder/attempted murder/higher assault once you hit 11.  It's not juvie, but it's a separate wing on the adult jail.
