Good Luck with That
FOUND by David Gonda
in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Found by a tree outside the downtown library. It's written on half of an envelope and says "Hey Luv" on the other side. I can't figure out if this note is pointedly sarcastic or completely sincere. I also wonder if this person misspelled Paula, or she really has 2 L's in her name.

I don't see a Paula in this note ...
Is found messing these up AGAIN? It's getting pretty regular now.
I think "Paula" thing is part of the Spanish at the end, (le gusta, numero uno).
Either this is the wrong caption for this Find (where's Paula? As far as that goes, where is "Yvonne"'s name in the other Find of the Day?) or David is completely innocent. You can't tell if this is sarcastic? Read that line again, dude: "Every night he's not with you he's happily with me!" Oh, yeah. And any note or speech containing the words "good luck with that" is dripping with sarcasm.
But some people live in a nicer world. Maybe David is one of those lucky people.
I thought it said "every night he's not with you he's happily with men."
...Are you sure that's not it?
@Schneh, no, that's just a flourish, to add emphasis. "He's with MEEEEEEE!" Compare the n in night, continue and "not" (which I first read as "every night he's hot with you..." which I guess fits, given the context of the previous sentence.)
If this note is anonymous, the writer is malicious beyond belief--trying to shake up the recipient and add a little mistrust to the relationship. Maybe hoping he'll break up with the recipient and go to her? If signed by "Paula" as postulated in the back story (and where did they get this info?)she feels far too complacent and secure. What's to guarantee little Miss Paula doesn't get beat up, shot at, or etcetera by an irate lady who's unwilling to share? Pretty bad to put your butt on the line if it's a lie. Or, excuse me, "a fib." Or mind play.
Well, guess what? Every night he's not with YOU, he's happily boning Paulla, so stfu and stop acting so pleased with yourself.
I'm assuming this is addressed to Paula.
That's odd, I posted a comment but it hasn't materialized.
It said something like:
I read it as 'Every night he's HOT with you he's happily with MEN' which doesn't make any sense at all.
(which Basil and Schnee have said now anyway. Yawn.)
And what's w/ writing w/ for 'with'? If she can take the trouble to do curly tails and hearts and butterflies, surely it's not too much trouble to write three more letters?
men are pigs. that's why the person this find is addressed to wrote the previous find.
...and I'm so sick of this ugly 1800 Tequila chick, I'm ready to see AA ads again.
I thought it said .."he's with HER.."
which would have made it a possibly slightly less aggressive and mean spirited note.. but I see the "Me" now.
OUCH!!
I wonder why she wrote "bye bye babe" at first, then changed it to baby.
And what's the english translation for the espanol at the bottom?
it roughly says
the love he likes, i'm number one..
i reiterate roughly, my spanish isn't perfect.
This is really really harsh, but ya know, to write that insecurity musta been rife...
*21 skulls, i read the spanish as le amor - (is that not italian) just as 'the love' and then after the PS. I le gusto I numero uno - something like i am the numbr one liked....? yeah...that's probably not it!
Don't you just hope - that the bitch who wrote this note - is now no longer going out with him now either?
Those look like exclamation marks (both regular and inverted) around "le gusta".
But Spanish prowess is not what I'm known for, and I say things that come out completely backward. That is why I got ridiculed so mercilessly last time in Baja.
Ay chihuahua!
Bitch.
whoever wrote it, their Spanish isn't very good. It says "(heart) la amor" (even though it's "El amor" in Spanish)and then "He likes number one." Obviously she thinks she's number one, even though he seems to be with the recipient of the note, at least officially.
BTW the Spanish for "bitch" in this sense is "zorra." Yes, it means "vixen" but it carries the connotation of viciousness.
Deeeeear Jessicaaaa
I got a couple of questions...
Oh, and Dear Christina (in Illinois),
let's write to our congressmen and see if they can get the madness to stop! This pretty regular messing up is an outrage and an affront to moral decency.
screws fall out all the time. the world's an imperfect place.
Sounds like Paula's hoping a screw will fall out for good...
Female dog.
@Terrie - I so agree with your comment about the tequila girl.... All the great artwork in the world and that's what they picked? It's FU-U-UGLY!
that is so wrong, i dont see paula anywhere, anyways it says:
I hope youre having a great night, I encourage you to continue doing so, because everynight he's NOT with you, he's happily with ME. Good luck with that.
<3 La amor ( the love)
p.s ¡Le gusta numero uno ! (he likes number one.)
"Bye Baby"
This may be a bit of a stretch, but perhaps poor david read the big heart as, somehow, "Paul" so it would be "PAUL-la amor." Or, "Paulla love," so this Paulla would be the one writing the note.
The writer of this note is lying.
Jonathan,
If your interpretation is correct, then the writer is obviously calling Paula a man. Hopefully (for the writer's sake) the Paula in question isn't Paula Poundstone, 'cause as manly as she may be, she'd probably kick his/her fucking ass for making such an allegation.
"Every nigh he's not with her he's with men"? That's what it looked like to me.
Anyway... this is a spiteful woman who apparently doesn't realize that if a guy cheats to BE with you, he won't hesitate to cheat ON you. Good luck with that.
It's a real bitchy note. But personally, if I were on the receiving end, I would appreciate the heads up.
Why are women always pissed at the other woman?! It should be a bitchy note addressed to the cheater!
Ay yay yay..Cat fights and triangles...
I will venture to guess that the note write is a bitter fool who was left by her boyfriend and hopes to play with the person who received the note...
She probably did something lame like put it on her car or sent it through her window via paper plane..She then waited for her to get it...hoping she would cry when she read it.
But instead the note's recipient laughed when she got it and pissed off the sender.
Wow, Drama.
You all got it wrong...check out the hand writing. This is obviously gay drama. This is a mans hadwriting not a womans and exactly the type of stuff gay guys would do...even to their friends if the new guy is hot enough. Take it from me...I know!
I think it's "every night he's not with you, he's with men"
It's from a woman who is currently seeing his ex, telling her to keep keeping away. It says, 'every night he's not with you, he's with me'.
