It's been several months since the last installment of hatemail, and now I'm starting to get hatemail about not posting enough hatemail. I would have posted some sooner, but recent hatemail hasn't been very clever or passionate, and I didn't have a lot to work with. A lot of it was about how they didn't like my hair, or why am I dressing Leta like that? Or can you please change your masthead because I don't like pink. Most of those I just forwarded to Jon because he's the site admin and needs to be aware of such issues. And he'd always send an email back to me that said: UNSUBSCRIBE.
I think the summer weather has neutralized the brain waves of some of my readers, because a lot of my hatemail is lacking a certain intensity that I have come to love and appreciate. Like this one from Patrick:
Since I have read your blog, you have referred to yourselfe as "Shit Ass Ho Motherfucker" and now your husband as something similar. I am just sad to see that characterization still applied, even if it is meant as some kind of... what? I don't know what use an intelligent, happy person would have for such characterizations towards anyone, much less themselves.
It is violent language... it is angry language... it is hatefilled language designed to hurt. To cultivate this energy in your life is sad. The reason I looked at your site today is that I am in the process of cleaning out my "favorites" on my computer and am going to get rid of all these blogs I spent time reading last year when I was unemployed for a few months. I guess I am just writing to you because it makes me a little sad to see such an intelligent, attractive woman so unhappy... with yourself.
You can get as defensive about that statement as you wish, but believe me ~ if you loved yourself... you wouldn't leave that hurtful identification up on your blog. I hope your very legitmate resentment against organized religion will not turn you off to an openmindedness about a spiritual way of living that could heal whatever hurts so much.
Raise your hand if you made it to the end of that one.
That's what I thought.
Here's one from Michelle:
Stop blogging so much about your stupid boring life in the house all day and start eating. You look anorexic - like you are shriveling up and dying. Eat a cheeseburger for Christsakes!
Does making fun of skinny people make you feel better about being an asshole? I've often wondered, because apparently I can go out and cure my inherited metabolism with a cheeseburger. But you? How are you going to fix that personality?
From Annette:
So... I don't quite understand... You've got skin cancer, but you blog about spending time in the sun in your new pool?!? Strange.
Talk about strange. "They" don't make anything that I can put on my skin to protect myself.
(!?!?)
This next one is from Nancy:
First I must say that I am impressed (read jealous) of your new house and somewhat amazed (read perplexed) that you are making such a nice living (read lots-o-cash) from your blog. Well, good for you. I just think it's kind of lame that you didn't mention the new house until "several weeks later." If the blog is about you life, why didn't you let us in on all this earlier. I don't know, it makes me wonder if you are really so honest about what you write. It would be much more compelling if you really let us know what was going on when it was happening and not after the fact (sex not included). Seems kind of fake.
Nancy, it is kind of lame that I make choices about what to write. On my personal website. You have a point there.
But did you ever think that maybe I didn't want to write about selling my house while it was still on the market because of how easy it would be for some loony to find the listing, and then show up saying that they were interested in buying the house? Just so that they could rummage through my underwear drawer? I mean, it's not like strangers routinely show up to the address listed on my contact page thinking that it is my house, forcing the employee there at the UPS store to clarify that no, dooce does not live here behind the counter.
Next up is one of the weekly emails I get from Random Mormon Stranger Who Wants To Save Me:
For the most part in the last few month"s I have sorted out your talent and ignored your mormon slams. You know you have finally convinced me that you have turned against your former faith and taken on the disk a mormon attitude. Your profanity against our creator is very evident. You need to humble yourself and listen to answers of your parents prayer's concerning you. After all your beautiful little daughter will watch and listen to you ,what you say, and do. You are her role model. I admire your creativeness, and talent to do what you do but feel sorry for the spiritual path you have chosen at this point of your life. Alot of non-mormons read your website and probably spur the chance they have to investigate the lds faith because of your calous thoughts and actions directed at the lds church and the state of utah.
I really wish my Granny would walk away from the computer and take her Xanax.
And this one from Amy:
Let me start by saying I enjoy your blog and have been a loyal reader for a long time. The problem I am having with your blog, is the following. How, are you "paid" by ads when your site is not updated on a regular basis? I visit your site daily only to be disappointed that you haven't posted for days.....If I was paying you for advertisement and noticed this, I might wonder are you lazy, just do not have anything to say, or just so sure of your fans that you only need to humor us every now and then?
Did I say I was "paid" by ads? That was a mistake! Didn't mean that. What I meant to say was that certain advertisers have Jon's testicles wired to an electrical device, and every day that I don't post something new they shock his balls up into his esophagus. As incentive.
If it weren't for this arrangement I would not even be aware that I've gone a day or two without posting. Because I don't ever have angry readers sending me reminders that they are making judgments about my character when I fail to update every single day.
From Pete:
you are idiot.
Right. Gotcha. Hey, does it hurt your knuckles when they scrape across concrete? How about asphalt? Also, is it fun to sleep in trees?
From Karen:
I have enjoyed reading your site for years but I was quite upset this evening to realize that you are financing your new (albeit inexpensive) outdoor cooling device by helping to hawk life insurance for infants. Pretty awful.
Maybe you are referring to a Google ad? Because I don't ever remember approving an ad for infant life insurance, and I don't really have a lot of say in what shows up in the Google ads. They take on a life of their own depending on the words I use in a post, and sometimes when you pull up my about page, the Google bot will read through what I've written there and serve up ads for HOT MORMON SINGLES, and come on, have you read my about page? I'm neither hot nor single.
And from Sherie:
Your life is so fucking dull.
Noted. Will work harder to get arrested.
From Peggy:
I work in a mental health facility and I was a bit drawn back that you brought up mental illness in a joking manner. People struggle on a day to day bases and work hard through them. Some people would appreciate a house,a dog,even to be able to stay well enough to keep their children. So I would just like to say feel blessed for all the things you have. Mental Illness is a very serious subject. Walk a mile in someone shoes before you make light of the situation.
The shoes of someone who suffers from a mental illness... hmm... how about the ones I routinely aim at my husband's forehead? Do those count?
Next time I even think about making light of my situation I will be sure to stop and realize that I have no way of knowing what it feels like to be me.
From Lynn:
"Meat is murder. Tasty tasty murder" put me over the edge.
You just lost a fan who has been reading you since before
Leta was born. That was not even remotely funny.
Wait, you don't like my t-shirt? Not even a little bit? Not even a ha, ha, yeah, I can kinda see how overreacting to a t-shirt might even prove its point? Because every time I wear that t-shirt now, I walk up to Jon, point to my chest and say very grimly, "This is not even remotely funny."
From Robert:
Is this a great country or what? If you can make a living doing what I see on your site I am in awe. what a joke.
Actually, I've got a joke. Wanna hear it? So there was this guy, and he was reading blogs at work, while he was supposed to be working, and sending email to those blogs FROM A WORK EMAIL ADDRESS, and get this, he was complaining about someone getting paid to blog when he was getting paid to read that same blog. Wait. That's not a joke. That's irony.
From Jeff:
It is possible to beat a virtual dead horse with too many digital dog pics.
What? Me beat a dead horse? Sir would be mistaken.

You...not them.

Me you like. Lots.
Canape?
3. lexi said:
A razor sharp wit. It's addictive, I love it when you duel with these amateurs, it's the best laugh I've had in ages.
4. Steph said:
You made my day. Well, you and your dull life. Thanks Heather, and I hope the haters never go away, not because I agree with them, but because they are so damn entertaining.
You have no idea how difficult it was not to use an exlamation point on this comment...
(!)
5. LisaBoo said:
I must say that people are idiots (read you are awesome).
If people hate you, why do they read your blog? Oh wait, cause not reading it would make sense.
6. Michelle L said:
If only we could all be as witty as you! I found myself skimming over the hatemail, just to read your retort.
Its quite a hateration out there!
7. Anu said:
LMAO at Chuck's pic. Way to get back at Jeff. Just awsome!
8. anthraxaj said:
This blog cheers up my dull existence when I am at work. Keep it up and send big bags of Chuck poop to all the hatemailers!!
9. jill said:
oh my god, this is hysterical. by the time i got to chuck i was laughing my fool head off. MORE CHUCK.
10. Amanda B. said:
Damn it, I love you woman.
That is all.
11. Julia said:
I would have to stop reading if you stop posting pics of Chuck. I am addicted to your blog, it makes me laugh out loud and who isn't better for that? The haters must have pretty sad lives to spend it criticizing those minute details.
12. gypsy said:
Pete has time to write you emails, but not to learn what an article is.
And it's also heartening to know that spelling has absolutely NO BEARING on whether a person is qualified to dole out moral and spiritual advice. Because now I know that I can trust myselfe to tell everyone about my thoughts on their eternal salvation - and that of their children.
Blog on, sistah.
13. Non_Highlighted Heather said:
I saw shit ass ho motherfucker and I got all excited. Then I realized it was a post about hate mail. No lube or turkey baster for me tonight. xo
14. Jill Shalvis said:
LOL. Amazing, isn't it? I recently got my first hate mail on my own blog, so I've joined your club.
15. almightyL said:
People on the internet are seperated into two factions: Gloriously awesome and INSANELY stupid. You're the former! And you've given us wonderful representation of the latter.
16. zellmer said:
What Robert said. Only without the "what a joke" part.
17. Erika said:
Loved the one from Robert and the response, thanks.
18. AlexaLisbeth said:
Where's the sting? The haters need to GET CREATIVE.
Oh, and I totally hate pink.
19. Kathryn said:
is it wrong that your hatemail amuses me so?
p.s. love Chuck's bra
20. alina m. said:
I read the email and I get all mad and flustered and then I read your response and breathe and think "oh thank goodness it's her getting these instead of me...I'd be calling the mob on these people."
That's why you get paid all those (apparently undeserved) bucks.
:D
21. SurprisingWoman said:
I lurve the fact that Chuck is sticking out his tongue in the photo.... so perfect.
Damn, so if I decided to run down to Utah County I wouldn't find you at the address you list? Wow, what a surprise that you would try to keep your family safe by not listing your address.
Man, people are just stoopid.
22. Jentle said:
So YOU'RE the reason I'm not Mormon.... Whew. I guess I have something to tell the missionaries now.
23. Heather Morrow said:
Seriously....I LOVE your HATE mail.
BTW, nice bra, Chuck. It goes well with your skin tones.
24. Richard said:
Wow. Chuck has tremendous tits.
25. moonrattled said:
Chuck really deserves a spot on the next Vanity Fair cover. I'm sure Annie Leibowitz would take him on tomorrow as a client.
26. BirdieRoark said:
I just think that I may need to write you hatemail about the fact that your hatemailers are really lacking in their hatemail. Seriously folks, where are the exclamation points!!!!
27. lindsay said:
God, what would we laugh at if not for stupid people?
28. theycallmemama said:
Ha! The picture of Chuck at the end was perfect. Funny how much energy people put into hate mail. Makes no sense to me. But thanks for sharing!
29. Kari-mel said:
Too funny! My husband showed me your site about 2 years ago and I've been hooked ever since! We love everything about it.
Personally I'm glad these idiots sit on their moral high horses, it gives us much pleasure to watch you tear them down in just a few short words!
30. bip0larbear said:
I recently found your site on the Blogger's Choice Awards site (voted for you for Hottest Mommy Blogger), and have been reading all of the archived posts. Simply awesome. I just got my first hatemail on my blog (from my cousin, no less) and it really threw me for a loop. One nice thing about blogging is that you get to edit your replies. Love you, love your writing. All those freaks who think your life is lame have got to be kidding. Mental illness is *indeed* a laughing matter; if we didn't laugh at it, we'd be screaming.
31. mudpunch said:
If you haven't used it already, might I suggest using "That's not remotely funny" as the slogan on an upcoming masthead?
It always cracks me up when I see how seriously people take you. I love what you write, so please, keep on making fun of the haters.
32. Coyote said:
Bwahahaha! If laughter is the best medicine, I will never be ill again.
Hugs to you, dear one :-)
33. kmoka said:
What!?!? There's only like 3 exclamation points. These people really are lame. I wonder if Pete could see his reflection in his monitor while he was telling you are an idiot.
Nice jugs Chuck - love the tongue... way to exclamation point that.
34. Tachae said:
I was in SLC today. I drove through on saturday and flew home today and as I flew home I remembered you lived in mormonville.
They tried to convert me in the airport.NO SHAME at all ! I love the posted hatemail.
I also love the pic of Chuck... I hope the mormons are in a tither.

36. Carol said:
OMG'ness. You rock.
Thanks for the daily (or every other day, or sometimes twice a day, or whatever) dose of smack-your-forehead moments and laughter-induced endorphin rushes.
37. Blue Momma said:
I love the hatemail.
I can't wait to get some hatemail of my own.
Your blog is great. Do I sound like a stalker if I say I want to be you when I grow up?

39. Morph said:
There are days when I think I'm in love with you. Not in a creepy, stalkery way, but more in the way where I drag people to my laptop and point, making vaguely cavewoman-like noises indicating that you have, once again, proven yourself to be made of both Awesome and Win.
40. Jewels said:
lol! Heather can haz cheezberger? //off/cliche/
:oD
41. The Metamorph said:
L.O.L.
Seriously, I shouldn't read your site at 11pm on a weeknight, my cackling might disturb the neighbors.
42. Amy the Mom said:
I'm so glad I found you three years ago during a Google search for "constipation cures." Even though this site has never helped in that arena, you've given me more laughs than I can count. Especially tonight. Thanks!
That just might be my new favorite picture of Chuck.
43. El Mango said:
Heather, I must agree that the quality of the hate-mail has declined - but I will equate that with the growing Wii addiction among the young people. I would write better hate-mail, but I'm too busy with my iPhone.
Thank you for creating a forum for semi-literate asshats to comment on one of the best blogs around. You rock. (Or is that yew rok?)
44. Valeta said:
Haha. I love it.
I wish I were hated as much.
45. Hervert said:
I love you, dooce! You're the best.
46. SurlyRide said:
Heather... we can unload a Memphis-style whoop-ass on these haters! Complete with Hank Williams Jr., beef jerky, dawgs, and fake nails! Meet me in the parking lot of East End Skatin' at 8:00!
47. Jolie said:
it's so funny to me how much people can hate you about your own, personal blog. I love your blog. you're so damn funny. and even if you weren't, who is forcing anyone to read it? I guess that makes it even funnier how people are pulling their hair out about how much they can't stand you. people, come on!
48. FlakeyBlakee said:
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm, tasty murder!
49. rilah said:
That was too funny that I have no words. I have woken my daughter laughing and must assist her 11 month old ass back to sleep. Quick question, though...
what size bra does chuck wear?
50. kntaylor77 said:
It disturbs me that there are this many stupid people on the planet.
51. Anna said:
Note to the language phobic spiritual healers, the recreational dermatology police and he who poses as gainfully employed person: It is not necessary for your to click on dooce.com just to get all pissy and feel the need to share your confused perceptions.
Who are you people? Are you really under the delusion that your hate mail will drag Heather from her evil ways? You are just giving her all the more material to entertain us with.
For the lady who demands Real Time posts (except for thoughts of foreplay)...Lady, you need a life. Perhaps Heather can refer you John's work location.
52. lisalisa said:
LMAO!! I LOVE reading these - they just brighten my day.
53. andrea said:
Absolutely Fabulous. I would be so excited to receive hate mail like this.
Chuck looks great in the bra.
54. deejay said:
Just keep saying to yourself "The best thing about this job is the people. The worse thing about this job is...the people." Carry on.
55. Rhi said:
The only thing that remotely offends me is the fact that Chuck clearly wears a larger size bra than me. NOT FAIR.
Also, I just had a friend's mother tell me yesterday that I was too thin and I did my best by refraining from telling her it's because I enjoy LIGHT beer rather than the full calorie beers. I actually wish I would have said it.

58. Mediocre Housewife said:
I just signed up for a TypeKey account just so I could respond to this...
When I first began reading your site a few months ago, I wondered why on earth you wouldn't open your comments. Day after day of posts and no comments. Then I read the last hatemail entry and didn't take it as well as you obviously do. Now I get it. On a site this huge, opening comments is a bit of a scary proposition.
I'm right there with you - loving this site - whether I get to comment or not. Oh, and stalkers showing up at the UPS station? Yikes. No freaking wonder you didn't mention you had sold your house.
Is it sad that your dog has a better rack than me?
59. nicoleh said:
Jon - thanks for taking one for the team so Heather actually updates.
60. sangsterrific said:
I bought that tee for my husband for Christmas after I saw it on your blog. And let me tell you, it is not even remotely funny. Not at all.
61. MissD said:
Hate mail gets a response and I don't OH i am so upset.
I would just like to know 2 things...
- what breed is your dog and,
- what lense do you use on your camera to make the bkg all fuzzy. I know, I'm a noob!
I did email but no response. I can see why, with all that hate mail to wade through! Poor thing
:)
62. Stefanie said:
Funny thing is, the haters are still reading your blog in hopes of being quoted. They want to stop reading but they.....just....can't.
See how you are?
P.S. Tasty murder :)
63. jenB said:
I know this is just a tiny amount of the hatermail that you get. It takes balls to write a blog with a high profile where people attack your family and yourself. I challenge anyone to open up like Heather does. The hater piss me the fuck off. You don't owe anyone to post everyday, even though you pretty much do.
Get a sense of humour people. OR, stop reading and hating. What the hell does that accomplish? More hate.
I love you guys
jen
64. Kim said:
You are my hero.
LOL
You make me laugh almost daily. Even when you DON'T post. I can read old posts and still laugh my ass off.
65. angieg said:
"Meat is murder. Tasty tasty murder" is the reason I read your blog every day, since it was the first post I ever saw. Even as a huge Morrissey/Smiths fan, I find it not just remotely, but intimately funny. Thank God for cool t-shirts, or I may never have known about you...
66. peachytex said:
The other day I saw a bumper sticker that reminded me of you:
P eople
E ating
T asty
A nimals
The haters need to just go SUCK IT! YOU ROCK, GIRL!
Your everyday posts make me laugh, your monthly post to Leta gets me teary-eyed, I drag my boss to my desk and show her the Daily Chuck and we say, "Awww...!" Thanks for making the time my company pays me to read you well worth it!
:-)
67. Shalini said:
I might just need to order that testicle zapper that you have Jon wired into. Lemme know how to get one.
I love your blog, you rule.
68. Piglet said:
i will never understand WHY people have an issue with you earning a living BY WRITING.
break out the grape hater-ade!
69. Stefanie said:
Oh and Chuck's snack rack is rockin'.
70. aimee / greeblemonkey said:
Yippee! Hate mail posts rule. Almost as much as people who can't figure out how to use sunscreen... or people who compare you to starving African villagers... no, wait! My fave are the people who want to see your MLS listing. That's *really* the best.
OK, OK.
We all know that Chuck's boobs are numero uno.
71. jon deal said:
Hey! I apologized like a THOUSAND times to the guy at the UPS store for thinking you lived there. And he REALLY didn't have to call the cops, I was going to leave. And those cops? They didn't have to subdue me, I would have calmed down. Eventually.
Getting tasered hurts.
72. Bratfink said:
There can NEVER be enough pictures of Chuck in the world!
Yay, Chuck!
[who would sooooo want to be MY dog if he just knew me... *sigh*]
.
73. Angel said:
BAHAHAHAHA I love the part about irony ;) I get hits from .gov and love that I'm paying taxes so someone can read my blog.
Please don't stop posting pictures of Chuck! In fact, you'd be a bazillionaire if you could find a way to clone him. I *heart* Chuck!
I really just don't understand how people can be so nasty.
Rock on, Dooce.
74. Lou said:
Where are all the haters now? I skimmed all those comments and I didn't find one hateration. I could use some more free hatertainment.
75. MarkDM said:
> your parents prayer’s
Apostrophe infractions in two straight words! Excellent work, Random Mormon Stranger.
When you started the Daily Chuck, I was kinda thinking that a picture of your dog every day might be too much. It isn't. That photo of him with the spoon on his head is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
And: My lord, Chuck. Your boobs are enormous!
76. MamaBear said:
Heather, as usual, brilliant writing. I love your responses. :)
77. Bratfink said:
Oh, and while I was playing with my Blingo, I found this:

To quote Que Sera Sera:

2.) yeah.
79. Flinga257 said:
okay- first- I HEART CHUCK!
And second, Heather, I think you're beautiful! And anyone that's ever spent a night in a looney bin (as I have) will be able to tell you- each brain is different- and it's nothing like anyone can imagine it!
80. Lolo said:
Hmm, Chuck's boobs are looking bigger than normal.
Also, you showed great restraint with those hatemailers. I would have been forced to point out each and every one of their typos and all their incorrect word usage and bad grammar.
81. biscuitninja said:
I'm actually sad that i share the same name as the lady that doesn't like the tasty murder shirt. in fact i may have recommended it to you. and i even bought one for my brother for xmas. so sad that people get bent on such silly things.
82. Vanessa said:
You are completely brilliant. I think your attitude is great. Everytime I read conversations between you and Jon or Leta, I crack up because it reminds me of things between me & my fiance. It seems like a lot of people want the Brady Bunch type of life, and I hate for you to break it to them but that just isn't going to happen..
Rock on, Heather!
83. Stewart said:
Haha! Amazing. Kudos. Seriously.
84. jess said:
lmao. thanks for sharing. luv the pic of chuck wearing a bra...a bra that i can only assume is yours. at least i hope it's not jon's.
fuck this insomnia shit. i have to work in the morning, dammit.
xoxo
85. Doppelganger said:
Heh. You're right, the hatemail was a bit meh. Your responses, however, were pure gold.
86. frifri said:
I love your hatemail. It has enough power to fuel a small nation. Very eco-friendly!
87. Rattling The Kettle said:
The "life insurance for infants" ad Karen complained about was a (graphic) banner ad for a Gerber-branded life insurance policy. You'd think she'd direct her complaints to Gerber, though.
88. beadbabe49 said:
From where I'm sitting, you could not possibly post enough pics of chuck...that dog does one hellacious balancing act and I love it!
(sorry about the !....sometimes I get carried away, ya know?)
89. turnstylepoet said:
You rule the planet. And I love that t-shirt! I had a friend in high school that used to graffiti "meat is murder" on my notebooks when I wasn’t looking. I’d love to track him down and give him that shirt. Anyway, I love your blog, take care.
90. AustinJen said:
Long time listener, first time caller. :)
Now that I have picked myself up off the floor, cleaned up the mess I made spitting wine all over my monitor, and reassured the husband that the incessant cackling he heard is NOT me giving birth to a chicken, let me say:
I think Mudpunch has the best idea I've seen in awhile. "This is not remotely funny" must be the next masthead.
You have lots of friends out here, Heather. Not crazyIkeepmyhamsterinmyshirtandreadblogsalldaybecauseIhavenothingelsetodo
andthisistheonlywayIcanfeelselfrighteousandgivepurposetomylife friends, but friends who, like you, try to see the humor and irony in life and are getting thru it as best they can, with intelligence and grace.
Tasty, Tasty Hate Mail. Shine on.
91. mnnicesw said:
Love it, Heather! You're a genius and I'm so glad you let me make your "dull life" part of mine!
92. kate folsom said:
Fuck the haters, Heather. You're fantastic. I've read your site every day since Leta was an infant, and I don't think your life is boring or that "you are idiot."
So there.
93. The Mighty Jimbo said:
i enjoy these "exclamation point" entries so much that i want to send you hate mail.
i so envy your trolls.

Dear Heather,
I love that t-shirt. Your pictures of Chuck are the cutest. You go girl, you rock my night! L.o.L.
I wish I could replicate Pee-wee Herman's gagging/hacking sound right now. Is this what you're opening your comments for? Drivel? Here's a comment.
The people of our country are largely ignorant, illiterate and typically without morals. Others are choosing to copy us and spread this bile further across the globe, causing others to either envy us or despise us. I don't expect you to save the world with your blog, I don't expect you to even try. I just want people to be a little more aware of the world around them, the effects they have on others and that they are not the only ones here on the planet.
I can't thank you enough for your post and the meaning it has brought to all our lives, enriching, strengthening, encouraging. ;^)~
96. SidsVeryLoopy said:
Long time reader, first time commenting & I think I made an OOPS. Think I hit the "post" key before I ever even finished my comment the first time, sorry about that. What a way to live up to my loopy name, can I borrow some Prozac??
Anyway....
I like that people think it's a joke you make money writing a blog, yet they're sitting in an office somewhere getting paid to read it. Your response was hilarious...that definitely is irony.
Love the blog, even with all it's pinkness & doggy pics.

Thanks so much for a great after work laugh! As a tall skinny chick I'm always astounded at how many people think it's okay to comment on and be rude about aforementioned tall skinniness. Eat a cheeseburger? Yeah that will change your genes alright! Imagine if we called someone a fat cow and told them to lay off the fries. Of course we can't do that, because that is considered rude. Hell I even feel impolite typing it now...

I admire how you handle the criticism. I had received hate mails before on my personal blog and It literally took a piece of myself.. and most people are so quick to judge someone based on snippets of one's life. I think you are a very talented writer.. right up there with Henry Miller, Anais Nin, and Ernest Hemingway. And I do not understand how other women are so judgmental on your childrearing decisions. I wonder how they would react if someone were so quick to judge their decisions. I wish you all the best. However I have been noticing that you haven't been writing as much. As a reader who really look forward to your posts, I must say.. write more! :)

dude, i cannot WAIT until one of my blogs is popular enough for me to get hate mail! it's way more interesting than another person telling you how cool you are! and way funnier too.
101. Philippe-A said:
Yeah, aren't you ashamed to make a decent living, not to mention being actually present for your daughter and husband, from a website that obviously exists only for profits.....!!!... You sure waited a long time before putting those ads up, but I always knew were you going.
I would have turned down a trip to amsterdam, cause you know, I have principles and all.
jokes aside, have you ever considered cloning chuck? Cause now THAT would make you a decent living. I'm buying.
102. Maggie Ann said:
hey heather. i have read your blog for quite awhile now and the content of it never ceases to brighten up my days in its own little way. this page is uniquely you and i think that is really special.
also, i have wanted to tell you for awhile now that often times words you have written have helped me through my own bout with clinical depression. there have been nights when the struggle would get so intense and my mind would run one track-- thoughts of escapism. on those nights i would come into the computer and read your archives containing your own account about that similar struggle. just seeing that someone else had experienced what i was going through and had made it through helped immensely. so thank you for that. thank you for making the choice to share your heart. it has made a difference in this life for sure.
103. Novi Sad Newbie said:
Love you and your family, Heather. Here on the other side of the world sometimes I feel very alone and I miss the US. Reading your blog (including the archives) has been a salvation for my mental health. You make me laugh as well as cry.
You most certainly understand depression/how it feels/the hopelessness of it all on some days/the relief and joy of the good days. What an idiot that person is to say otherwise. I guess they aren't reading your blog as carefully as they say.
Please keep it up and kiss Chucky for me...love him.
104. Emma said:
Oh God, I love you. Even though Chuck has bigger boobs than I do.
105. Gretchie said:
Here's my very small philosphy about the hatemail: People who write hatemail lead very small unfulfilling lives which they consistently set themselves up to fail at because, check it out, they KEEP TRYING TO CONTROL EVERYONE ELSE!! Including their sense of humor. Don't laugh at mental illness! Don't laugh at eating meat!! Don't buy a cheap pool with your money to enjoy your summer in! Don't laugh at the religion you were brought up in!! Don't take pictures of your dog and post them on your website! Don't make more money than me doing something you love in spite of having real talent at doing something you love! I'm a paying customer, darn it! I'M ENTITLED TO TELL YOU HOW TO DO YOUR JOB AND LIVE YOUR LIFE! I HAVE READ YOUR BLOG; I OWN YOU!
Small, small lives. And small lives require many exclamation points.
106. Sarah said:
Because we are all winners on the Internet! A+, Heather! Thanks for the laughs, lady. Here, have a Haiku:
arbitrarily,
Chuck sits promiscuously
stunning - tongue in cheek
107. Gaile said:
Good lord, I am amazed by some of the idiots you've attracted (and strangely envious, since I barely get comments, let alone hatemail)!
Personally, I love your letters to Leta. I wish I'd written things like that for my daughters while they were growing up.
Shine on, Heather.
108. Kristine said:
I just read you so I can get into GEORGE!s britches.
Oh wait, no I don't.
I'm enjoying watching how you're evolving as a parent. You're doing fine.

My favorite this time around is the lady who reminds you that strangers might be discouraged to explore the LDS because of what you say. I'm sure you are bothered by that idea nearly as much as she is. Too funny.

114. Melissa said:
All I can say is that from the lack of humor and/or intelligence, there more inbreeding in the world than I thought.
I have lived in Australia for the past couple of years with my husband and am in the process of moving back to Kansas, which is just about as bad as Utah. But I wouldn't trade if for the world.
Love what you do - Carry on.
115. PhilipN said:
Hi Heather
I love these HateMail posts and of course would love to see more, but then I think for that to happen you would have to read more of this vitriolic drivel and hope you don't have to.
BTW best picture of Chuck in ages!
Philip
116. Daydreamerme said:
Jealousy is such an ugly emotion, even uglier when idiots try and cover it up by pretending they have something meaningful to say.
So much foolishness, where does one start? I have to comment on Peggy tho - I suffer with anxiety and the blues and if I wasnt able to laugh at myself now and again, I would have, in all seriousness, done something silly by now. So what I saying is, I don't think you know what you're talking about Peggy.

119. faustina said:
I love your hate mail. It's great. I must say though, I do have a tiny suggestion for the website - please don't consider it hate mail in any way.
I think that somewhere in your masthead or near the top of your site you need to have Dooce or Dooce.com writen out plainly. I remember when I first visited your site, I didn't even read anything because I couldn't even tell what the site was named from first glance. Call me stupid to not figure it out, but it was several months after that when I actually came back and started reading. I have been a fan for about a year I suppose and I still think about that!
Anyway, since you post hate mail, you should also post some love mail once and awhile :)
120. MidgetViking said:
Miss D (no.61) - are you a new reader? I've spent months trying to catch up on all the posts, and both information about lenses and Chuck is to be found in various posts. Yes, I know the answers, but I already know that Heather does reply to e-mails as she replied to one of mine and I walked around smiling the rest of the day. Gosh, Heather, you've reached rockstar-famedom and make people's day with your send-e-mail button!
121. MOLLYZ said:
I love reading your site and I enjoy the pictures of Chuck tht you post every day....Thanks so much

129. Groovymarlin said:
Chuck in a bra? Awesome. The Daily Photo of Chuck is (along with my daily pansy drink from Starbucks) one of the things that keeps me getting out of bed each day. Never stop. NEVER!
130. John Dickerson said:
I’d like to focus on the public service aspect of Heather’s post. She wears the emotional armor to take these hateful emails to keep us all safe. These emailers are one fragile event away from showing up in a Fox news alert. Their basements are ready-made with hidden passageways where they long to stow people. All that keeps them from doing so is that they can’t pull themselves away from the computer.
The less homicidal of them are only marginally less dangerous. They don’t use the car blinker when they make turns. They have novelty cell phone ring tones. They write checks at the super market with empty ball point pens. I am convinced that the couple on a recent flight that carried on a non-stop conversation about the majesty of lint found just that morning in their pockets only made it out of the house because Heather had not posted that day.
Heather is a huge magnet holding the greasy noses of the witless and mumbling to their buzzing screens. Were she to stop what she’s doing they (and their noses) would be released, scattering across the landscape like locusts in the Holy Land. We’d have to take up arms. I carry a small picture of Chuck in my wallet just in case they do get out into the sunshine. I’m told if you hold one up they will retreat immediately to the insurance company call centers where they work.
131. Laurasarous said:
I've been a big fan of your writing for a few months now; sometimes I read a few lines outloud to my brother for some laughs. And the daily photos? Awesome.
132. MaddenWidow said:
I'm just curious do the people who send you these emails ever send a follow up to bitch about you posting a copy of their hate mail?

Please don't change a thing.
135. Akeeyu Buttmansion said:
Jeez, Jeff, some of us only come here for the Chuck pictures.
Heather, I predict the next hatemail you get will be someone scolding you for letting Chuck wear an underwire bra. Don't you know those things cause (cancer/blocked ducts/the end of western civilization as we know it) and are (evil/tools of the patriarchy/far too emperkening)?!?
136. Sara C. said:
You certainly have a knack for making me spit my diet coke all over my laptop.
Keep doing what you do. For what it's worth, I LOVE the Chuck pictures. It amazes me that he tolerates all the "love"

I think these were the best ones yet! My favorite was definitely your response to Michelle. Keep it up!
139. shannon said:
I've been reading your blog since sometime around your engagement to Jon and have always appreciated your wit, humor, honesty, and balls. You're a brave soul to put yourself out there like this and then to deal with the crazies on top of it...with a rapier wit for our entertainment? Well, that just goes to show how awesome you are.
And I can't even tell you how much I would miss pics of Chuck if you stopped posting them. Especially in ladies' lingerie. Hot stuff.
140. Myg said:
holy shit you can leave comments at dooce? since when?
141. kim@DTI said:
I wish I got hate mail. Sounds like fun. I wish I was half the smart-ass you are. Your sense of humour is priceless. Your pics are awesome - I love Chuck, even in a bra. I want to get the camera you use, even if it means having to live on ketchup soup and feeding my cats to each other. And appreciate you plugging my blog a while back. :)
142. BOSSY said:

144. Kim said:
"Did I say I was “paid” by ads? That was a mistake! Didn’t mean that. What I meant to say was that certain advertisers have Jon’s testicles wired to an electrical device, and every day that I don’t post something new they shock his balls up into his esophagus. As incentive."
Now,It is to bad that I can't hook the same device to my EX husband. I would really enjoy watching his balls be shocked up into his esophagus.
145. Tammy said:
Robert has a point. This IS a great country, where you can make your own living writing and being creative, and have a fighting chance of being paid what you're worth. No joke, man.
146. bonkersmomof4 said:
I'll meet you at East End with Surlyride. Time for some redneck justice to the haters.
And if people want to read a "brady bunch" blog, they need to read my xanga, where there is no hatemail, because it's not funny, or edgy, or anything that could cause controversy. Who wants to read that, anyway?
You're great, Heather. Keep the exclamation points coming.

I just wanted to say that I love your blog. I love hearing about Leta especially because she's about 6 months older than my daughter so I get to see what's coming up. Leta and my daughter, Lydia, started pre-school at the same time so I was right there with you on that one.
I like your pictures of Chuck too. I don't take many pictures of my dogs because they are unruly beasts but seeing your pictures of Chuck makes me want to. I haven't yet and may never but you and Chuck are still an inspiration.
My only suggestion, as long as we're suggesting things, is that I think you should allow comments more often.
Just wanted to let you know.

People are morons. Most of them are just jealous of your situation. I, too, am jealous of your situation. But in more of a "man, I wish I had that talent and could use it to make a living" sort of way, rather than a "I want to eat your first born" sort of way. I do have a question I've always wondered about...how often do you get recognized in the "real world?" Any funny stories? I'm sure it could make for an interesting post.
154. Asherbelle said:
I was laughing out loud with this entire entry .... and this part in particular almost simultaneously made me pee my pants and make my coffee come out of my nose!
"From Pete:

Right. Gotcha. Hey, does it hurt your knuckles when they scrape across concrete? How about asphalt? Also, is it fun to sleep in trees?"
Thank you, Dooce and an even bigger thank you to the haters, for making my Tuesday start out on a high note :)
155. kelly said:
fucking good for you for making a living being funny and honest and a wee tourette-ish. if only everyone had so much perspective and personality maybe i wouldn't be so tempted to just move to the fucking woods and get away from them all.

Dang, the haters have definitely lost their oomph. Or . . . MAYBE YOU'RE LOSING YOUR EDGE. Maybe you're just NOT OFFENDING VERY MANY PEOPLE ANY MORE. Maybe you're joining the ranks of all the other ever-so-cute, innocuous, noncontroversial mom bloggers. COULD YOU BE GETTING GETTING BLAND IN YOUR SUBURBAN MIDDLE AGE?

Yea-more pics of Chuck in people wear! I love it. My five year old thanks you! (Oh and spoons on dog snouts greatly amuse 5 year old boys.)
I envy you--Leta going to bed at 7.15--all that grown up time My two go to bed at 10ish IF they have had no nap--2 am if they had a nap. Energizer bunnies.
160. Maiken said:
Oh, and Chuck does have a nice rack!
161. LaraKW said:
"Random Mormon Stranger" and Peggy need to learn how to spell before they send hate mail. RMS, that would be A LOT not ALOT. And Peggy, repeat after me:
B-A-S-I-S. I'm just sayin'. (Sorry if that was harsh. But, people, when in doubt, use a dictionary if you want to be taken seriously.)
162. Sherry said:
Ah, hatemail. Proof of people with too much spare time. I miss it, I haven't gotten any in awhile, not since I posted a picture of a big beer can I was drinking and got a snarky comment about how I was setting a horrible example for my kids if I dared to have a beer at the end of a very long day.
163. Kate G. said:
I'm happy to see how you let it roll off your back. Wish I could do that. Instead, I spend hours/days obsessing about stupid emails I get.
164. Anna said:
Wait, so there's a company that PAYS people to read blogs? Can you please forward me Robert's email address so he can put in a good word? I mean, I might as well turn what I do while PRETENDING to work into ACTUAL work, right?!
165. Jojo Dancer said:
Bah to all those hate mailers!
Personally, I am one of those who reads your blog as well. The daily pictures of Chuck are honestly sometimes the best part of the day. I don't know how you get him to do some of the stuff he does. What a great dog! :)
Glad that you don't bow to the demands of those silly people. It's obvious that you've got lots of fans out here!
166. Andrea said:
Those hatemailers (?) lack any real creativity. Tsk tsk. Your responses on the other hand: brilliant!
167. joanna said:
I've been following your site for a few weeks now, and finally had to leave a comment...
SO FUNNY.
I've become such a fan of your humor, and if you don't keep up the photos of the dog, I may cry. Legitimate tears over here, for real.
I'm going to add you to my blogroll if that's cool :-)
thanks for the laughs, i've needed them!!
p.s. leta = adorable, not that you didn't know that already. and GEORGE! is fun!
168. Ktkat said:
Oh Dooce, I do SOOOOOOOO love you and the incredibly moronic hatemail you receive! It simultaneously tickles my funny bone, and makes me want to go find these idiots and whack them up side the head with a bat.
I just never knew how much time people would actually spend reading and posting to a blog they obviously HATE so much. And they do it repeatedly, and then KEEP READING THE BLOG! People are so funny (read sadistic, self-serving, bozos).
I, for one, love what you write, when you write it, and IF you write it. I appreciate your BRAVERY. You stick your neck out there every single time you write something, and you run a big risk by doing so. You take the time to share yourself and your family, and you are EXTREMELY witty (hilarious, most of the time) and observant. I appreciate that you share your struggles, because many of us have gone through something similar (like... me!). It's nice to know one can be crazy and still sane in their own way (did that make sense? Am I getting weird with the parentheticals? Is anybody still reading?)
You're a crazy, struggling wife and mother who is funny, tired, honest, real, AND an ex-Mormon. Who could ask for more?
Anyway, I love your blog. People who say otherwise should stop reading, go count their beanie baby collection and shut the f**k up.
P.S. Oh, and I ADORE the pictures of Chuck. You DO realize you have the best dog in the Universe, right? If you find a way to clone him, please send me the first copy. :)

Seriously, Heather. Your website is one of the best things on the web. And hi, I CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH CHUCK. Never. Ever. EVAR.
And, as someone else who has depression (woot bipolar), joking about it is one of the best things we can. Yes, mental illness is srs bznss, but having a sense of humor makes everyone feel better.
172. Amy said:
You're right, most of that hatemail was pretty lame and didn't leave you much to work with. But Chuck? Saved the day, as always. Awesome photo.

Maybe there just isn't any new hate left after all these years of you blogging. But let's hope not because stupidity is truly entertaining.

I must admit, I understand where Nancy is coming from. When you first dropped the moving bomb, I was all "wait, WHAT? You're MOVING? But you didn't even TELL us! We did even KNOW!"

175. http://almostvegetarian.blogspot.com said:
Of course, what amuses (and somewhat saddens) me to no end is that people take the time to, first, read your blog then, second, send you email telling you how much they hate your blog!
They are clearly living in a world bereft of chocolate. And Valium, too, for that matter.
Oh dear!
176. Kristen said:
The hate mail was a little bit on the lackluster side this time. But damn, that is one fantastic picture of Chuck. Keep them coming, my son and I love to check out the daily Chuck!
177. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
Dear Mrs. Dooce:
I must say I am appalled at the way you are objectifying your dog. What kind of person parades their innocent, devilishly handsome dog in sultry lingerie? I suppose next you'll feature poor Chuck in a babydoll nightie and sexy, fuzzy mules. Or a latex miniskirt and tube top with haunch-high boots. Or, or, or a corset with garter, seamed stockings, and stilettos, with a shiny pinwheel on his "lipstick."
That would be terribly wrong, and I wouldn't put it past you.
For shame.
Certainly not rubbing one out to pictures of your dog,
Mrs. Four-Eyes

197. fraucowtown said:
Wow! Ooops, exclamation. And I used to wonder how you could stand all the stupid people sending you mail telling you how they can't stand to read your site day after day, so now they must write you to yell at you since you're not updating and feeding their madness every day... Phew! These wackadoos are excellent! ;)

That is some serious hatemail. I have had a few comments on mine, but nothing with such passion and clear disgust for you.
Unfortunate for them as I find you amusing...thanks for the posts!

200. bunnybee said:
What's the point of turning on the comments if there are no hate-comments? I figured you were angling for material. Or maybe you're plucking them out before we can see them so we'll be surprised. How deliciously diabolical.

apparently, i am not writing enough polarizing stuff, as i never get hatemail. of course, i don't get much mail at all, but that's beside the point.
