Especially for the ladies this one

This is an actual letter from an Austin woman sent to American company Proctor and Gamble regarding their feminine products. She really gets rolling after the first paragraph. It's PC Magazine's 2007 editors' choice for best webmail-award-winning letter.


Dear Mr. Thatcher,

I have been a loyal user of your 'Always' maxi pads for over 20 years and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuard Core or Dri-Weave absorbency, I'd probably never go horseback riding or salsa dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature has to be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can't tell you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there's a little F-16 in my pants.

Have you ever had a menstrual period , Mr. Thatcher? I'm guessing you haven't. Well, my time of the month is starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces violently s urging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my body will adjust and I'll be transformed into what my husband likes to call 'an inbred hillbilly with knife skills.' Isn't the human body amazing?

As Brand Manager in the Feminine-Hygiene Division, you've no doubt seen quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customer's monthly visits from 'Aunt Flo'. Therefore, you must know about the bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense mood swings, crying jags, and out-of-control behavior. You surely realize it's a tough time for most women.

The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is just crawling with homicidal maniacs in Capri pants ... Which brings me to the reason for my letter. Last month, while in the throes of cramping so painful I wanted to reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always maxi-pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these words: 'Have a Happy Period.'

Are you f

---

kidding me? What I mean is, does any part of your tiny middle-manager brain really think happiness - actual smiling, laughing happiness, is possible during a menstrual period? Did anything mentioned above sound the least bit pleasurable? Well, did it, James? FYI, unless you're some kind of sick S&M freak, there will never be anything 'happy' about a day in which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and Kahlua and lock yourself in your house just so you don't march down to the local Walgreen's armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end your life in a blaze of glory.

For the love of God, pull your head out, man! If you have to slap a moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldn't it make more sense to say something that's actually pertinent, like 'Put down the Hammer' or 'Vehicular Manslaughter is Wrong',

Sir, please inform your Accounting Department that, effective immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will certainly miss your Flex-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your brand of condescending bullsh1t. And that's a promise I will keep.
Always. . .

Best,

Thats brilliant, Ab!:T I can certainly identify with that!

fg, I wholeheartedly agree with what Tiff says. Sound advice. Just make sure you aren't pushed into doing something you don't want to, take your time and make sure that you and your baby are your first priority, no matter what you decide to do.

So, there I was, trying to make myself look relatively okay, putting my makeup on....great...until I got mascara on my eyeball! (please note...this is not the first time this has happened.lol.). Has that ever happened to anyone else here? Or am I just a dimwit?

Anyway, I've had a bath and am looking *relatively* like a human being now.

My days of wearing mascara have long since gone. In fact they never really got going apart from one tarts and viccars party I went to (looked quite good as a priest:D )

Hello Everyone,

This is probably the wrong place and site to post on, but I have posted here before and need some advice.

My Marriage hasn't been going well and this morning I told my wife that its over

At the minute I am very sad (we have been married for 5 years, and together a couple of years before that), confused, emotional, tired, feel very isolated. I really don't know what to do next. My wife says the marriage can be saved but I don't feel it can and have given her my wedding ring back.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

I have got through two boxes of tissues already!

What is it that makes you think your marriage cannot be saved. Some time in the past you obviously loved her so what has changed?
