You have been my very best friend for so many years. Your passivity is finally becoming our undoing.
I really am trying to get new people in my life and I swear I will never again have a passive friend or
a passive aggressive one (which I am famous for).
I hope you move back but I do feel guarded.
So just to say that I offer you so much and then you say so little and turn around with plans that fly in my face. I offered $ to help you move. THEN you plan two trips? So, yes, my offer stands but guessing I will not bring it up again.
AND dear BIL–yes, your wife is a frigging mess of a B**** along with a stroke and many health issues.
She has never been a nice person. She left her two oldest to attend the special graduate program.
And she was not nice to her other two. So no surprise that all 4 have little to do with her.
Yes, you were nice stepfather. But you barely speak above a whisper and you are all Zen and not present. You returned bags and bags of food containers as well as our cooler. This is the food I have cooked for you and my SIL–who I have not seen for 6 years–as she is such a B*****. And I provided vegetarian food for her needs. Do you even think that you could put a bottle of wine in a bag? You take and yet the times H has been in the hospital you have never asked if I need anything.
Your mother will not change. It stinks, it is unfair, you deserve so much better but NOTHING you do can change this. I wish you could see this and move on.
This needs to get fixed. Tired of being miserable with something most women my age of totally through with.
Normal highs late Feb are mid to upper 50s. I am sick of 80 degree temps, and today, ALMOST 90 degrees.
I HATE THIS.
It’s been 18 months since my nephew died by suicide. There are still no words. 
I’m worried for you. My parents endured enormous financial reverses too, but their solution wasn’t to borrow to maintain that lifestyle. Your parents decision to borrow amounts close to their current yearly income to send you to an OOS school with the hope of repaying them by starting a business is a shaky plan. Most businesses fail. It’s too bad you’re “above” attending schools in your home state. Your younger siblings may not have an option.
I’m dreading telling you our plans. Please don’t be a selfish jerk about it.

Yes! He got the job!
You better hope this guy hangs on for a while my friend, because your communications/media career is basically over. You have zero credibility going forward.
We have been customers so long that our email reflects a company that, for all practical purposes, doesn’t really exist anymore. Too bad the customer service rep an ocean & a half away can’t understand that.

I honestly do not understand how you can offer to pay family members and significant others
to attend a wedding overseas for one grandchild and completely ignore the second grandchild’s
wedding just a few months before. Yes, his is in the states but it is still a hardship for some to travel
so far. Oh but! yes, the second wedding is your very very favorite. Just so very thoughtless.
OMG…Who knew 26,000 feet altitude had curative properties. You needed wheel chair assistance to get onto the aircraft. You needed help getting your baggage stowed, you needed early boarding. BUT…after only 60 minutes in an aircraft you were able, upon landing, to grab your own overhead bags, shoulder carry your lap top and WALK down the stairs. Yup, this was an old fashioned airport with NO jet gangways. You walked the ramp, walked the stairs and picked up your own checked baggage. This baggage you schlepped - along with your laptop bag over your shoulder and your roller carryon - to a low slung sports car which picked you up at the curb. And, you were able to sling your fat arse into this low slug sports car after throwing your massive baggage into the trunk. ALL without any assistance. WOW…all that healing…in a 60 minute flight. It is obviously a miracle. And you wonder why some of us are just a bit skeptical.
You really should lose your license for your unethical and downright illegal dealing.
To my friend’s mom:
Your kid is absolutely brilliant and will go far in life, and I know that you want the best for him, but you’re putting too much pressure on him. You are forcing him into a future he doesn’t want and it’s easy to see that he isn’t happy. He WILL be successful, but not if he burns out before college. I understand that you’re trying to give him what you never had and I know that you have made sacrifices, yet medical school isn’t the only way to success. He is starting to lose the love of learning he once had because you are standing at his shoulder planning out his every move. Please, for his sake, stop.
And to another parent, who has the opposite problem: your daughter is BRILLIANT!!! She is the most precocious little girl I have ever met, but you refuse to accept this. I get that homeschooling can be a great thing, when done right, but you aren’t. Her potential is festering, and, no offense, but you guys can’t teach her properly. She needs a tutor, or a real school, or something before she becomes bored to death. Her vocabulary is several years ahead of her age. Nurture this.
And it doesn’t help that you criticize everything my mom does just because you have different ideas. My sibling and I are doing just fine, thank you very much.
To a certain person: I’m sorry. I should’ve said something else. But that was one mistake, and holding it against me for a year (and more!) seems excessive. I admit that I messed up, but it wasn’t so bad that you had to lose all respect for me (at least I assume that’s why you ignored me). If you’re reading this: I truly hope you’re happy where you are, despite my mess-up. I really hope you forgive me and that you’ll reconsider your perception of me.
To a couple people: I know that you don’t agree with me, but you acted unprofessional and rude. There are much more respectful and constructive ways to treat people you dislike than petty personal attacks. And what’s worse, you lied during these attacks. What have you achieved?
To somebody else: scaring us is not the way to teach us. I understand that discipline is necessary, but you have made it so that we are paranoid.
To myself: why do you open your mouth when you should be silent and stay silent when you should speak? You have lost a couple opportunities over this and have nearly gotten yourself into deep trouble. If you shut people out, you can’t expect them to pay any attention to you, so stop acting so aloof! And your arrogance/bragging doesn’t help either.
I’m sorry you didn’t get the internship you put so much work into.
You can wallow for a couple of days, but then you’ve got to keep submitting applications.
I realize many people get good internships through people they know, but there are other options too.
To the police officer who pulled me over for use of a cellphone because he caught me in the 2 seconds it took to turn on my Bluetooth so I could MAKE a handsfree call, how do you NOT SEE the huge numbers of drivers I see texting and driving every day? What about the guy I saw two days ago texting with both hands AND looking at the LAPTOP he had propped on his center console? A literal office on wheels. Then there was they guy BRUSHING HIS TEETH while driving. Is that distracted driving? You can’t make this stuff up. Argh.
