Open letters
Seeing as we've got confessions and problems and issues springing up in threads all over the shop, I thought it might be interesting to have an open letter thread. Cathartic, perhaps. From your mother ruining your wedding, to your boyfriend who can't stop peeing on the toilet seat, or even that guy on the bus who kept making that annoying noise with his mouth, get it out here.
I'll get the ball rolling.
To my dear darling boyfriend,
Just because you are technically 'clean' when you come out the shower, it doesn't mean that I am okay with using the same towel you've been rubbing all over yourself for a month. I know you have others. I bought you two myself. Drag them out from the murky depths of the laundry basket, wash them and allow me the temporary use of a clean one.
Love, Cat
Dear Chuckles
oh no, where can you drop your kids off at the pool????

so juvenile. ;D
get a shovel, i say. ;)b
Dear Pooh Bear,
I saw that you had mentioned wanting Stranger Than Fiction. I can email it to you if you'd like.
I will have to look for it, but once I find it I can send it if you're interested.
No one should go without hearing the Handshake! I love that song. It may take a little while (read: a few weeks or so)...

Dear Earth,
I am sorry I crapped all over you yesterday with that dumpster-load of garbage I had to get rid of during my move. In the future I will try to accumulate less worthless junk.
Love,

Dear New Apartment with the Big Kitchen and the Porch and the Sunroom,
I can't wait to move into you!

Dear Baby Squirrels,
Thank you for mustering up your concentration to jump to different tree limbs and then only catch the limb with your front legs and have to scramble up. You are cute.
Sincerely,
Window Watcher

And if you must leave Queen Bee, come to S. Spain. You know where I live, I can't wait to see, hear and feel you. Come and stay, as long as you like. :)>>>
dear little bugs infesting my kitchen,
OK, I've tried to be nice, but seriously, now you're just pissing me off. In a few minutes, I'm going to walk to the store, buy some serious ammo (bleach spray and the like), and I'll be back to kill you all. And ftr, if I find you actually IN my food, oh damn, it is ON!!
ps: you're lucky you're small enough that I can't shoot you. Cause if you were bigger, I'd be all over it.

dear apartment god,
SERIOUSLY!!!? I am a good person, I do good work, I help people on a daily basis, and I make a difference in peoples lives. So why can't you bless me with a great place to live? It doesn't even need to be fancy. I just want to live in a place that isn't sliding off of the foundation, doesn't have spiders/beetles/lizard/mites, and where the carpet isn't older than I am. If the "Big One" hits, the northern side of our place is going to literally fall off, but you know that already. I'm not asking for much, I just want to be safe. So please, help a sister out.

Dear John Edwards,
So. You cheated on your wife when she was battling her breast cancer. You've officially lost every single bit of respect I've ever had for you. I hope you have an STD, and your penis falls off. Thank you for your time.

to my dear bunny Scampi,
why did you all of a sudden decide to take up cord-chewing? You've been so good about not touching them throughout your 3 years of life so far. I was hoping to make you free-range at some point but not if you're going to wreck everything in sight. I like giving you freedom but not when I have to chase you away from things all the time! please take out your chomping on your slinky. I will give you more raisins if you're good.

Wow. Talk about adding insult to injury. >:(
Dear National Enquirer,
You broke the John Edwards story and it's not being picked up by the major news agencies. Please back it up if it's true. Either you or JE is a scumbag.

Edwards Admits Affair, Says Enquirer Was Right
In an interview with ABC's "Nightline" that airs tonight, Edwards admits he had a sexual affair with 44-year-old Rielle Hunter, but claims he did not love her. Oh, okay, that's fine, then.
Mr. Edwards,
I hereby cease my support of you.

Dear New KMK Apartment,
Thank you for being there for KMK. She really needed to find a place quickly and you sound awesome! Now please be in her budget with no problem and awesome neighbors.
Thanks,

Dear Pinker's Apartment,
Please cease sucking. If you must be that bad, please find it in your heart to lower the rent or find her another place to live that is better, cheaper and in a better location. She rocks, so should you.
Thanks,

Dear Scampi,
Stop chewing cords. Your slave does not want you to kill yourself or replace every electronic device in the home.

Dear healthy body,
Why are you sick now? You've always been there for me, and I truly appreciate you. I don't understand why this sickness came on. I realize that it's just a cold, and maybe you need to build up some new, tough immunity, but nose, you are being very annoyweas. Please heal.
<3 Allison
Dear Weas (P),
I know that you're not, but please don't be grossed out by my sickness and gassiness. I'm soweas.
Love you, Weasiepea
Dearest Calimaryn (I hope I spelled that right),
You my dear friend, are amazing. I am so happy for you that you have your new house, and that you can occasionally work from home. I love how you truly care about us (your VW friends) and it means a lot to me that you always want the best for us. I am super excited for your upcoming surgery, and if finances and my situation allowed it, you know I'd be there in a heartbeat to assist you with your speedy recovery. I cannot wait til we meet IRL, til then, be well...

Dear Cats of the mdv Household,
Thank you for your furry, stress-reducing awesomeness.

Dear Neighbors,
Why is it that you choose 11:40 PM for the time to be unbearably noisy? I know we have thin walls. You know we have thin walls. I do my part not to annoy you with my extremely loud music when your car is in it's parking space, so let's please cut the crap and do yours to keep your loud 7 year old and his neighbor buddies' max volume below my ear's reach when I have had 4 hours of sleep the night prior to this, and have just gotten home from a very loud metal show.
Hoping that you get better sleep than I know I will,
new teenage neighbor.
Dear Brain Meds,
Please shake me out of this crap so I can start living again. But for fark's sake, do NOT screw up like you did last time. I'm watching your every move.
love, but not really,

Dear Pharmaceutical Industry,
I happen to know that you're filthy stinking rich because your profits are like, a million times what you spend on research, development, and advertising. You sicken me. I just spent $130 on a month's worth of meds that I really really need, AND it's a lower dose than I was on before...such necessities simply shouldn't cost so freaking much.
F*CK you guys,
disgruntled customer
Dear VWers I've already come to know and love,
I missed you all! Thanks for being so awesome and making me feel at home here.

Dear VWers I've yet to "meet,"
Welcome! I hope I'll be around more so we can get to know each other.
