To Show You That I Love You
FOUND by Ellen Jaffe in Adams Morgan, Washington, DC
Clearly a draft of a love note, since it wasn't signed and there are several crossouts. I guess things had been a little rocky. Maybe she got pissed off because he'd never talk to her when she called him at work-- or because they both were supposed to get tattoos, only he kept putting his off, or maybe she just doesn't like him anymore. There's a phone number on the back, but I didn't want to call it.

Yes! There is one thing you can do to show your love...LEARN TO SPELL!!

Speaking of tattoos, if you've never seen it, I recommend doing an internet search for "Mr. Cool Ice Tattoos" and looking at the photos.

Nothing would say "I love you" like getting tattoos like that!

oh, and learn to spell.

Yeah, normally I would comment about the spelling too... But this found is kind of a downer... Hits close to home. I know what it's like to feel compelled to "do" things for someone you love. If she doesn't love you for you, bro, it's never gonna work... Just send me the candy and call it a day.

Flowers are nice, but they don't last. Tattoos fade with time and become just "tatty." Here's what you can do to show you love me:

Be honest. Never say yes and do no. If you dislike something or really don't want to do something, tell me. Don't make "piecrust" promises--easily made, easily broken.

Treat me with respect. Don't embarass me in public by "correcting" me in front of others. Don't use sarcasm and belittling as a weapon in front of our friends.

Say "please" and "thank you." These words are not just for little kids, and a little appreciation goes a long way.

Notice the things I do, not just what I didn't manage to get done.

Realise that I am a person, not a trophy or a toy. I'm an adult, not a child.

And I hereby promise to respond in kind, with kindness, compassion and love.

We all love a Can Do attitude! I hate \
can don'ter's!!!

Please don't get the matching "I'm with stupid ---->" tatoo like mine...it would ruin the joke when I'm with you.

...and yes, please, send over both Candy and Rose. I'm not into threesomes - but I'm sure we can all reach an agreement and find something interesting to do.

Rings? me?you?me?you?me?you?youmeyou?

...and a partridge in a pair tree that would also be a nice gesture of love.

"1. Get that tatos." ... Is it "tatos" as in "tattoos"? OR is it really "tatos" as in "potatoes"?

In other words, is this just a thinly disguised grocery list? Potatoes, onion rings, rose, candy.



@ sick in tired ... sounds like you're writing from the heart today.

Don't do the tattoo! Don't do it, man!

At first, I thought it said "Get those tatas"

He mainly just needs to put an s at the end of plural nouns. English is not his first language. But if he really wants to know:
Don't sit around waiting for me to make your dinner...try making dinner for the family yourself sometime.
Help me clean up the kitchen afterward, instead of laying on your lazy ass in the easy chair watching tv.
Be a better financial provider/partner. I am sick of paying all the bills myself.
Surprise me now and then with a little gift, and not flowers or candy...that's too easy and cliche.
There, now ya know.

Well, since you asked, how about cleaning your bathroom on a semi-regular basis so I don't need a Hazmat suit just to take a leak?

Re: 5.

Dude, trust me, do not tell a person you love them constantly. It is irritating.

Have regard for the other person's feelings.

First, get the old tattoos from the last girl you loved removed.

Nothing will doom your relationship faster than a tattoo of your partner's name.

Except maybe paying someone $2,200 for sex. Maybe.

For me you me and me. Love it.

@ Sarah ... I was wondering about that, too. Probably thought 'rings for me and you' then decided 'naw, I'd better put her first' then got all confused about which pronoun went where.



Is this a heterosexual note or not?

Doesn't matter what you "do" buddy, she is already itemizing you shit in her head for when she divorces you and rapes you for everything you got....along with listing and categorizing according to severity, your faults, in which to use as ammunition at any given time she feels like it.It doesn't matter, you are already doomed....

About the crossouts on the 'me you me you and me'...

I think the person was trying to make it seem silly. Like it was THEIRSELF [is that even a word? Ah well] who really wanted the ring, and knew the other didn't take it as seriously. And did the crossouts more as a joke to make the other person kinda smile about it.

Now, now, don't be so hasty, Mr Smythe. After all, his lover could be a Ukranian lass....

"And to tell you I love you every timeI tsalk to u any were I am eve at work

Please tell me if there are anything I can do

I love you"

I have one suggestion. Your boss should be fired for hiring you.

The more I see his comments, the more I'm creeped out by Finsterton Smythe. With all his unbridled hatred towards women, no wonder he had to buy a slave. I mean, uh... bride. Cheer up Finny!
