Reprieve

You're dating someone.

It's serious.

You've been in for 20 months now and have been living together for about 3 months. You are headed to the alter and both of you are good with that. All is well and smiling in your world.

The person is normal, regular people like you.

Good job. Educated. Good family. Good head on their shoulders.

You are out with them and a drunk person starts some ish with yall.

You're trying to move on about your business but the drunk person just won't let you.

The drunk person swings on your S/O and misses. Your S/O reacts and immediately drops the drunk person.

Drunk person hits their head on the corner of one of those parking things.

Drunk person dies.

Your S/O is arrested.

There are witnesses. Your S/O's family comes and bails them out of jail.

They get an attorney. Not a great one...not a bad one.

Your S/O is going to have to do 3 years because it turns out they are trained in some deadly type of martial arts and had been training for years. FOR YEARS.

Your S/O tells you they don't expect you to wait on them because they recognize their life and options are going to be DRASTICALLY different once they get out.

You live in THEIR home. The mortgage is what you were paying in rent before you decided to live together to save money for a life together.

What do you do?

Monica Mingo

Oh yeah...

I know yall got plans for tomorrow but if you're in the area and don't have anywhere to go tomorrow it's ya own damn fault. There is always enough chicken at 13700. LOL! Yall know we don't believe in folks being solo on holidays. We are accepting "drop-by's" between 3 and 6. Let me know if you're swinging through.

That is all.

Monica Mingo

Work Holiday?

Are you working today?

Dreams be DAMNED!

I had a dream last night that one of my boys was dating Fantasia and he brought her to a barbeque at my house. I sat there stuuned.

That's the last time I go to sleep upset.

Can you remember what YOU dreamed last night? Which of your weird dreams do you remember vividly?

Monica Mingo

Question...

If you heard your neighbor beating his wife...what would you do?

WDSD - What Did SIP Do?

I'm shopping at my local TJ Maxx.

My hair is air dried and in an elastic headband.

It's big.

I've been writing so all I've been doing is moisturizing and sealing it. 

Yes it's big...but it has movement and I have a good cut.

An employee at TJ Maxx who is familiar with me, because I talk to her often, walks up to me.

Her hair is quite tragic to say the least and always, ALWAYS is.

It's about small yellow roller length, broken off and greezy as hell with FLAKES.

She rolls up on me.

Scrunches up her face and says, "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR?  IT USUALLY LOOKS SO NICE!"

4th of July!

Whatchall doing for the 4th? 

AW LAWD!

Just opened an email from our HOA Prez.  Seems one of the GFC has jumped on a resident.  Police were called and it ain't gonna be pretty.

*sigh*  No wonder it's been so quiet round these parts today.

Online Dating Scenario...

You've been online dating.

You get a wink from someone.

You wink back.

They send you an email.

You send one back.

You email back and forth for a couple of days.

On Day 3...you get this email from the person:

My Dear,
If only I could have come up with the right words to describe the depth of this beautiful feeling that I have for you, I would have whispered them to you the first time i saw your profile on blackpeoplemeet. The best thing that I can do is to show you now.
 
I love you so much, Sweetie. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. You are like the best poetry ever composed, the best song ever played, the best picture ever painted. I never thought that someone like me could get so lucky!
 
I love you more than my life, more than my world. I love you more and more each day and that is the most wonderful feeling any man can ever hope to experience.

I have no other words to describe the way you make me feel. No words, no actions could even come close. I believe that Ronald Regan said it best to Nancy in a letter, telling her only that, "I more than love you". Their love was a strong love, surviving everything, even death. I believe that even after his passing, Nancy felt Ronald's love for her raining down upon her. That is why she has always seemed at peace after the death of such a truly loving husband. That is the love that I feel for you.
 
Thank you, What more can a man say to the woman who opened her heart to him, allowing him to feel the warmth of her love across the great distance that separates them? You truly have no idea what I feel for you.

Forever Yours

What do you do?

From My Inbox (LOL!)

SIP:  Does this mean we're going to start reading the other inboxer requests too?

Me:  We'll see.  I  ain't making no promises.  Her emails always make the cut.

____________________________________________

Monica, could you please post this on the blog? If you don't want to, do you have any advice?

I forwarded my best friend a free eharmony for the weekend email I got.  She said that she had been a paying member last Spring but all the men wanted were blonde Barbies or Barbies dipped in chocolate. I responded that I just figured it would be worth a try since no money will be lost and it will only be a few days. I recounted that, had I not been on the internet, I would have never met my last 3 serious relationships and I would not have met my husband. My friends had no single male friends who were matches for me, I worked and went to school in a female dominated field, I was schooling so much that hobbies where I may meet a man were stopped, and I didn't like to go clubbing. So the traditional ways to meet people were limited. My friend's response was, "I think I'm just not meant to do the kids and marriage thing this lifetime".

How does one honestly respond to that? I haven't written her back yet and wanted to know if anyone had anything to say BESIDES, "Claim your husband and child in the name of Jesus!". Although it is good and encouraging to be prayerful, I always hated that response because there are plenty of God's children who will not get married. No where in the Bible does it say that we are all supposed to have the nuclear family and white picket fence. So when someone simplifies the reason why the myriad of women are single, to me, they are insinuating that a woman is less faithful or didn't pray hard enough to make it happen. And that is wrong. On the other hand, it wouldn't lift my friend'a mood if I said, "Yeah, I feel you". I have been where she is and at age 31, I started to be OK with an Oprah/Stedman type relationship or maybe a series of nice, long term relationships. I am more of a realist and don't like platitudes or canned words of encouragement. But, at the same time, I would like some opinions on what words you all would use to tactfully acknowledge how she is feeling.

Hmmmmm...True or False?

"Online dating isn't the same as it was back when it was still all free.  Seems that now it has become too saturated with riffraff and it just takes too long to comb through.  Back in the day...it seemed there were more people serious about dating on the sites."

HA!

I am wearing a belt today that I've been previously unable to wear.  Why?  Cuz I needed a new hole!  LOL!  Yall know what the kid did don'tcha?

From Jamie: 35 HERMES BIRKIN BAG SHINY BLUE JEAN CROCODILE

MONICA- In the past I have sent in requests for why fors? that haven’t been entirely serious and have been attempts, albeit mighty weak ones at best, at humor. Today I am seriously interested in why a bag, any bag would cost as much as the house that I am living in? Are the crocodiles born blue naturally? Is the bag stuffed full of gold bars? Does it come delivered in the trunk of a luxury car that you get to keep? Does the price include an all expense trip to Paris to pick it up in person? Does it come dangling on the arm of a n.ak.ed and willing supermodel that will fall madly in love with you? Does it come with a deed to a townhouse that will be signed over to you free and clear inside of it? I realize that this may be an extreme example in price due to the rarity of blue crocodiles, but there is another bag available made out of goatskin for $30,000 and I know goats, even pink ones, just aren’t all that rare. So I ask you, no, I implore you, or anyone else out there in blog land, to ‘splain it to me; truly and honestly, why for do these bags cost so much money?
 
jamie-
