- barbara: This is a beautiful tribute to your Dad. I am so sorry for your loss.
- Elena: What a beautiful tribute to your father, Becca. I see a few similarities to my father--our fathers are such a part of who we were and who we are, and what we pass on to the next generation. May he rest in peace.
- Becca: Thank you all for your kind words. I could have gone on for pages and I kept remembering new things today, my first day back at work. My father was an amazing person and I could only convey a portion of that. It is a trite thing to say but it's impossible to believe he's not here. Thank you for helping to ease that pain.
- Tami: "It’s hard to boil down lessons I learned from my father and his life. I’d say they were: fight for what you believe in, root for the home team, be loyal to your friends, love your family, and never let a good (or bad) joke remain unsaid." This is you to a T! He is one proud papa. I love you.
- Melanie: Oh, Becca, I'm so sorry. For what it's worth, I think you've done him proud here. This is lovely.

“Im the one who dropt out of eigth grade but paid for a fake resumay and got a job here!!1! LOL LOL.”
Very amusing, Sarpon. You’re on a roll! Or, it could be:
IM THE ONE, WHOSE COMPUTER KEYBOARD HAS, A BROKEN CAPS LOCK KEY, A BROKEN APOSTROPHE KEY, AND A BROKEN PERIOD KEY, (BUT THE COMMA KEY, WORKS GREAT)
ZOMG, YOU GUYS, LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!1
Oh, my.
It’s okay to mock stupid people, right?
Well, no, it isn’t. But it is OK to mock stupid actions. And to hope the stupid find each other. Ah, love.
I think the stupidest thing about this ad isn’t actually the all-caps or the lack of sentences. It’s the vagueness. How on earth is this woman supposed to know it’s directed at her? Don’t we all work with people who communicate on a 3rd-grade level?
Sure, Becca, but if you’re ugly or have a crappy smile, then you know this message must not be for you.
“Your cute. Nothing more,”
At least the dude didn’t mince words there.
Come to think of it, I may have dated him.
Doesn’t ever girl dream of finding an illiterate yutz who thinks she’s “Cute. Nothing more”?
I had a dream like that once, Alfa. I married him. One day, I woke up from that nightmare, reclaimed my self-worth, and left him scuffing his boots in the dust. Of course, he wasn’t just an illiterate yutz. He was an illiterate, redneck yutz with a bad attitude. A gal needs to aim high, you know?
I love a happy ending!
Ima was married to my Redneck Boyfriend Al? Small world.
