This list was found in the parking lot of my office building, which houses a few different businesses. It was found late November 2005.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
13. Thaw the turkey.
Let's see, traffic ticket, grandpa's died, need relationship counseling, got an STD, smoke, angry alcoholic, ant problem and dirty car--things just couldn't be going better.
So many issues, so little time...at least s/he's serious about rehoming the dog properly.
Here is a person trying to take control of their life which has skewed out of true a looong time ago. I wish them well.
"I can take hold of my life, and I can say Yes to some things and No to other things. I can see where I've made mistakes...I can even change my luck."--Moonstruck
Yeah! Ain't life grand?
I think I used to live with this guy...
There are lots of people who should make lists like this.. I see them every day as I drive through the downtown section of town on my way home from work. They hang out on the sidewalk outside the bars just a few blocks from the school where I teach -- they're smoking, arguing and sometimes fighting, and looking like walking skeletons with gaunt faces and missing teeth.
I hope this list helped this person get back on track. Hopefully his/her lists look a lot different now, four years later.
Nothing like starting fresh and new! Just have to clear the clutter.
Immediately brought to mind this one:

Action! List!
7. I first thought was and STP test.
And what is #5? A pit and ant problem?
5. tell the apartment manager that his dog is a Pit Bull. (maybe when he applied he said, "well, yes.. I have one SMALL little doggie..") + the ant problem.
Or maybe it's about his clog being a pit. the sink's clogged, and it's a peach pit. No. An avocado pit. Impossible to unclog.
on #10: Buy stop smoking aid. *What* are best?
I know it's the least of his worries, but
LICENSE.
INSURANCE.
what does the underlined "tht" in 2 mean?
Dear Everone
Hop you had enexelent Halloween.
#13. DON'T LOSE LIST!!
No matter how well this gal does at checking off items on the list, there's no way she'll be looking straight, clean, and responsible enough to qualify for the inheritance by the time Grandpa's will is read. It'll ALL go to her dorky little brother.
She'll hate him at first. Then she will go back on the stuff; wreck her car; wreck her relationships; and get sued by the gym for reneging on her contract.
But next November, she'll write an amazing 50,000 word novel during NaNoWriMo, win the Pulitzer Prize with it, become a multi-millionaire when Spielberg buys the movie rights, and then go to live a charmed life from there on out while her dorky brother keeps trying to win back some of the $100,000 inheritance that he lost in the nickel slot machines in Atlantic City.
Put that add in the paper. And that subtract, too. (#8)
It says (pills are best)
@Librarian - I'm thinking
#13
Re-read list and feel overwhelmed and doomed.
#14
Throw list away.
#15 go get drunk to drown out the miseryf being overwhemled and doomed
and probably
#16 hit something or someone.
#17 get a dui and driving on suspended because forgot to do #1...
why didn't you TELL US we missed your birthday last week?
HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY!
I want to know what happened after these tasks were accomplished. Perhaps the next list read:
1. Attend Sunday school.
2. Volunteer at homeless shelter.
3. Shop for fresh produce at the Farmer's Market.
4. Paint Mom's picket fence.
5. Go to gym!
13. Write a country song about my life.
I'm with Wearing boots in the hall, lots of people need to write and DO this list.
Geez that's an overwhelming list! How is # 13 NOT
"Kill Self"
Birthday Schmirthday...
@ HPD ... did I hear you say "Smurfday"? Aaaaaaaaa! Run for your lives!
@ Fooch: a pit + ant problem is like panty crickets, but you get them in your vest
I waited until today to comment on this because 5 years ago today this list could have been mine. I hope that this listmaker gets at least number 6 down, and then the rest will follow.

I think he's late for that funeral.
@ Amanda
"Geez that's an overwhelming list! How is # 13 NOT
"Kill Self""
That's #13--on the back. ;-)
Could someone tell me what #2 is referring to? I can't make it out.
...and I thought I was having a tough day!
"Librarian in the woodwork" - can you be my new best friend?? :-)
