Subject: Seriously? What. The. FUCK.
Hey, Karma,
Did you get the last e-mail I sent to you? I never did hear back from you, but I know you're pretty busy, so at first I brushed it off. To jog your memory a bit, it was the one where I pretty much laid out how much my life has been sucking recently? The one where I asked you to lighten up a bit, to give me a fucking break?
Yeah. I'm assuming that, due to further crap that has happened recently in my life, you either deleted the e-mail without reading it, or completely disregarded my request. Maybe it went into your Spam folder, I don't know. All I'm saying is that you better listen this time. Quite frankly, I've had enough.
You see, for some unexplainable reason, my doctors office dropped the ball in sending in paperwork for my short term disability claim. I had been waiting for a benefit check for the past two weeks, come to find out it wasn't coming because the jackholes at my PCP's office forgot to send it in. That means that I can't pay my power bill, my Internet bill, or rent! How awesome is that?! I have to wait another week to find out if the paperwork they finally sent in is approved, and another week after that to get another benefit check.
But wait! There's more.
The Boss' car was due for inspection in September. We ran out of time before it expired, so yesterday I went to my mechanic for an inspection sticker. Come to find out that, hey, the front coil springs are broken. How about another car repair, to the tune of $250 bucks? Why the fuck not? We can't afford our basic utilities or rent, but a car repair? SURE!
I've had enough, Karma. I really, really have. I still don't know what I did to deserve this kind of treatment, but I think I've had enough. I don't know that I can take anymore, to tell you the truth. I'm one more shitty problem away from taking a razor blade to a pile of Ativan tablets and snorting them, just to find a better way to cope.
Maybe I was a little rude in my last e-mail, and if I was, then I apologize. Just please, give The Boss and I a break. I think after all that has happened in the past 45 days, we deserve it.
Just think about it.
Mike

Holy crap, man! I think you're being way too nice to that Karma asshole in your e-mails. Time to start throwing punches!!!
Seriously, though, I'm sorry the shitstorm hasn't passed.
I'm trying desperately to send some good karma your way...
Wow. When it rains, it pours. The least that fucking Karma dude should do it offer an umbrella.
I hope things start getting better soon.
Jeez.. WTF?! You really are having to deal with some terrible shit lately. I really hope things start turning around. Maybe you could sell your body for money?
As Lola said - Holy Crap! I really hope that shitstorm heads out into the Atlantic soon.
Oh, dude. I've SO been there. When Brent and I lived in Reno, we must've made 5 trips to the Money Tree (aka the doorway to hell). We just couldn't catch a break! Things are so much better now, as they will be for you two as well. Hang in there. I know you don't want to hear that. But do, because things will get better.
Srsly!!!!
I really don't think it's a problem for me to come back to Maine and throw down with you on the Karma bitch.
It's on!
Lola named it : a shitstorm. This is the time of life when you have to call on your reserves of soldier like fortitude. Put your head down to the sand and shit, grit your teeth, and keep marching. March through it to the other side. It will work out.
FUCK. FUCK. FUCK.
:( Sorry, sweetie.
My goodness Badass - I'm so sorry!
Dude. Sorry. Wish I had the words. Ummm- 2009 3/4 of the way done and 2010's gotta be better?
Seriously, hold tight Badass Geek. No razorblades, please. Maybe a yellow dye #5-free beer.
I think we've all been through times like this, when everything seems to go wrong, and you're trying to do the right thing and stay on top, but stuff just keeps dragging you down. For me praying works better than talking to Karma, because I know that if I yell at God, He can hear me. Not that He fixes everything for me, but I still feel better about it.
I need to CC your letter to Karma to Life. Cause dude, mine is blowing big old donkey balls right now.
Oh, man, the suckage just keeps coming and coming. Sorry about your luck, man.
Grind that Ativan up real good, or it will hurt like a beast and you won't get the proper effect. I'm told.
Why is it when good karma comes to visit it is usually one small little thing and his cousin, bad, keeps visiting and visiting; like the guest that wouldn't leave.
Sorry to hear things aren't on your side and I hope they turn around quickly.
Ah geez, more crap. Sorry to hear that. But at least you've got a line on the allergy/health issues. That's a GOOD thing. Your health is so much more important than the other stuff. Give the utilities a call and I bet they'll work with you for a couple weeks. Better that than just paying late with no explanation.
You know, at this point I really can't do much about anything but laugh. Yeah, there has been a lot of crap going on, but there's nothing I can do but try to work through it. It's just frustrating because I haven't been able to catch a break, and the hits just keep on coming, but this, too, will pass eventually.
There are worse things in life that can happen than what we've got, and for that I am thankful.
Sorry Karma ignored your note before...let's shake her up a bit.
Sending positive thoughts your way.
I think that Karma dude needs an ass whipping. So sorry for all your troubles. Maybe this week will be the start of a turn around.
the sun will come out...tomorrow. hopefully.
feel better soon!
Karma is a bi-atch. I've sent her a few letters here and there, but to no avail. You might want to try her less bitchy sister, Fate. Good luck.
I am sorry you are going through so much crap! Sending positive waves your way!
Yikes! I don't even know what to say except I am sorry your life sucks like that! Sending you good thoughts (as always)
All I can think about is the AC/DC song "Big Balls."
Fucking Karma. You better get something amazing coming your way soon. Stupid doctors office and stupid cars. :(
Okay, 'fess up. What did you do to piss karma off so much?
Just kidding, dude :). You guys are in our prayers. It has to lighten up sometime soon!
I have a cousin, in "the business"...if you want this Karma person taken care of, just say the word.
