Blue Note
FOUND by Colleen Walker in Roseville, Michigan
Found by my son Phillip,6 years old, on the street while riding his bike.

Man, little Phillip is starting early. Great job!

Yes, kudos to Phillip! You've trained him well, Colleen.

Typically, I'm down for making fun of somebody's spelling. But "thing" and "think" are an easy transposition to make, especially when you're in this much pain.

My guess is she's considering an abortion.

Don't give up too soon, writer...if you have someone who cares so much about you, you are very fortunate. Work with that.

She did something she feared would be terminal for a valuable relationship, and is punishing herself over and over. We are often so much harder on ourselves than others. You can see the growing pain in the writing as she reviews once again how dumb she was.

I'm with you, honey...don't think about it anymore.

Come on girl, the guy only asked if you wanted fries with that. Make up your mind and don't be a drama queen.

Congrats to Phillip, the Junior Finder. Keep up the good work.

Fries don't hurt deep inside. This is definitely appendicitis.

something in my eye
The writer is quite obviously an government spy that has just sold carson out because he "nows" too much, and is likely a double agent. I mean there's no thinging about it, this is a very deadly decision, but one you had no choice to make. way to go Phillip for exposing such an international scheme, but watch your back... I fear you "now" too much too.

@something in my eye, i would like to think that our spies have a little better grasp on their literacy. maybe? hopefully?

such pretty blue paper to hold such painful expressions.

More coffee, please (I will return later)

@fooch. Yah, if one reads it seriously (which is not my habit on Found) it appears the writer is a youngster whose approach to birth control was similar to her use of language. She's lucky to have options, but no one in that situation feels lucky.

Hmmmm...really? I mean, maybe she is just torn up inside since she has to break up with Carson because her parents are making her, possibly because Carson is too old for her or a big fat loser.

Like Gorgon, it is not my habit to read the finds with any seriousness.

This is exactly the pick-me-up I needed this morning (afternoon, whatever).

I hope this wasn't Phillip's first Find. If it was, he could be discouraged from picking things up for years to come.

My bet is this was found outside a colonoscopy clinic.

Maybe if you tried using a bright yellow paper you'd feel better?

Now how about a nice bowl of chicken soup? That'll fix you right up.

This is way too sad.

This is sad. It makes it even sadder that I read this today, after coming from an old friends memorial who hung himself. Also, I live within minutes of where it was found. Had I not read this today, it wouldn't have upsetted me this much. Kind of a slap of reality. Hopefully the author of that note didn't take the same route as my friend did- its not worth it.

Kelly, so sorry for the loss of your friend.

I hope tomorrow starts off way better than today.

@ critics amongst us:

Wow. I do read found items with an air of respect for the authors. I believe that more often than not, care may not taken with spelling or grammar because the authors never intended their notes to be read and even if they did, certainly never in such a public forum.

As a published author, I'd like to acknowledge that my first drafts are not meant to and would never pass muster with the critics amongst you and I'm 'okay' with that.

Would all the notes you've ever written be so perfect? One day you may see your worst effort posted online. I wish I could be there for that.

Just so you know, "Carson" could be a girl. Case and point: my name is Carson and I'm a girl.
