Regarding locking up - Dear Lurkers:

As yall know I'd all but decided to lock up this blog weekend before last and asked that if anyone wanted to continue reading...to let me know.  I thought MAYBE 50 people would want to keep reading based solely on the amount of people who comment day-to-day.

Boy was I wrong.

Lemme tell you why I was locking it up.  Cuz I get tired of stupid ish in my inbox from anonymous folks who want to try me.  That ish gets old after a while ya know?  Yeah...you know.  So...when I get crazy stuff and then only get like six comments on something it makes me think that the majority of the people who read my site only do it to find crazy shit to act crazy behind and that ish irked me.

So I said hey...it's not like I'm being paid to do this and yeah...I do have a lot of stuff going on right now so hell...LOCK IT UP and only deal with those I want to deal with cuz they want to deal with me and then...folks popped up outta everywhere putting their bid in and I have to say I kinda started feeling some kinda way about this.  Folks been over here accepting my hospitality for years and years and yet never even said boo and here I am dealing with crazy people when yall were here all along being silently supportive.

Well hell...what kinda ish is that?

Seriously.

I started off really well with sending folks the new password and then realized that a troll got through.  For the life of me I don't understand why someone would go through that much trouble to continue reading something someone they can't stand wrote but hey...I guess.  Bat shit crazy indeed but hey...I guess.

I received so many emails and Facebook messages with some of the most supportive words of encouragement in them and they all made me feel great about what I am over here doing and then...I still couldn't shake the thought that it's just plain WEIRD to read someone's blog for YEARS and not comment.

Seriously.

I've shared everything with yall.  Good and bad.  Ugly, pretty and SIP. How fair is it that you don't share with me?  With US? 

Is that fair?

That said...yeah...I got your information and yeah I'm going to keep it.  I'm going to get everything organized to lock this sucker up tight should I start feeling some kinda way again.  Lurkers...you're on notice.  If you don't put in on this...you're going to be out.

And I am soooooooo serious.

Stop accepting my hospitality, eating my food and not saying so much as "BLOOGEDY" or my hospitality won't ever be available to you again.

Yeah...yall on notice.  Until such a time as I decide that yall pissing on my tulips again...it will be business as usual round these parts. 

The lock up has been postponed and it's all on you.

Question...

What would you think of someone who would go out of their way to make up a new "online" identity and lie through their teeth in an email just to get the password of a blog whose owner CLEARLY doesn't want to be around them?

Does this constitute real mental problems? 

Would you think that was some "Single White Female" shit?

Would you think the person had an OBSESSION that was CLEARLY unhealthy?

What kind of person would you think they are?

Who does shit like that?

Do I "KNOW" you?

If you don't receive an email regarding how to continue reading this blog next week...it's because I don't "know" you.  If I don't "know" you because you've been lurking and my database doesn't recognize you guess what?  You.No.Get.No.Email.  If you've been lurking for years and haven't introduced yourself properly...shame on you for accepting my hospitality all this time reading about me and not introducing yourself so I know about you.

Seriously.

That said, how can I GET to know you?

Good question.

I guess the best way would be Facebook.  Send me a request along with a message that includes your email address in the body of the message.  When I have time I'll "friend" you and look around your page to make sure you're normal, regular, good, cool people cuz I'm wiping my hands clean of crazy folk.  My time is becoming waaaaaaay limited and I only want to spend my online time with people I WANT to spend it with.  If you don't want to take that step, believe me...I understand. 

Why? 

Cuz I'm the QUEEN of believing in people doing what they want.

:)

Smooches,

Locked Down Tight!

***UPDATE:  If you commented before 7:00 pm, Monday, August 31 you should have received your information.  Of the 135 of you I don't "know" Imma need you to hit me up on Facebook.  If I don't "know" you...you didn't receive an email.  Please include a message on Facebook that it is regarding the blog. If you don't have a blog or Facebook...Imma need you to get real creative in my inbox.

Hi. 

How the hell are you?

I'm 90% sure I'm locking this blog up after my birthday, September 5, 2009 so if you'd like to continue reading it...you need to comment and use your correct email address so you may receive the information to continue reading.  Yup...the Tribe is going EXCLUSIVE.

If you've been previously BANNED and want to state your case you are welcome to email me at  CreoleInDC@mac.com for consideration.

Sincerely,

Monica 'I do what I want' Mingo

THAT'S IT!

Last night while Robby and I were lounging in the spa with a bottle of wine we were reflecting on our life without kids and how we probably wouldn't be able to have many evenings like we currently do WITH kids.  We went on and on and on about how we're cool with being child free until the time comes for us to have a baby.  We actually clinked glasses smiling and shit reveling in the state of our coupledome. 

And then...

I see THIS this morning and I'm like...I WANT ONE JUST LIKE THAT ONE!!!!!!!!!  LOL!    "What Will I Be When I Grow Up?"

The CUTEST thing I've seen in a while!

Emails from Crazy People

Mr. Google

Please don't send me emails asking me to forward you a recipe I posted on the site.  Please utilize the Google toolbar that I have taken the time to include to make it easier for folks to find something they'd like to use as a resource.  Surprisingly...if you put in the words SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS...it pulls up the recipe that I took the time to type out for you to try.

Again...I've had a rough day so yeah...I'm being snippy. 

Thank you in advance.

The Living Boy Looks Up 'Fickle' in the Dictionary

From Honest:

Hi Monica! 

Not sure if I ever sent you this blog, but there's a missionary family living in Haiti and they have some interesting experiences and often post fundraising requests that are geared toward a specific person.  Either the person needs an operation, school fees etc and they pass the money on directly to the hospital or school.  I'm procrastinating and just realized that I haven't been over to their blog in a while.

Neat Fashion Blog

She's neat cuz she's like regular people just with a good eye. Not super skinny or super tall. Just like regular folks and she knows what looks good on her and isn't afraid to take risks. IN MY OPINION. Oh...and she likes good music.  Check her out:

Sincerely going back to school...

When a young adult decides to go back to school to finish...I'm always in awe.  I know it's easy to get caught up and feel like you don't need to finish but when folks have dreams...they shouldn't let anything get in the way.  Please help encourage this young man to see his way clear to the other side.  I know that I am ridiculously proud of him for making this decision.

"This weekend I got to catch the movie He’s Just Not That Into You. It was a cute movie. But it was the first scene that stuck with me. In the first scene a little girl gets knocked down by a boy on the playground. He says some really mean things to her. She goes and tells her mommy. Mommy tells her that the boy did that because he likes her. The voice over says something like, “That’s where it all starts.”

Dammit it’s true.” ~ Hostess, June 8, 2009 - Too much things to do again

The Trolling Code of Blogland

In blogland, there is an unwritten code that we all adhere to.  If someone on your blogroll is being trolled...you use your resources to help find out who said troll is.  Why?  Safety first my friends...safety first.

What is a troll you ask?  Someone who tries to tag folks while keeping their anonymity intact.   Like...you talk shit about someone and say this, that or the other about them when you don't even KNOW them well enough to even have a serious negative opinion of them since our blogs are only a minute portion of who we are.  You see pictures of us and read what we WANT to write about and we don't know ish about YOU. 

We don't know what you look like, where you live, where you work, etc.

Unless we go-a-looking.

This code spans eBeef, genres, skin colors, etc.  This code is in place because, as bloggers, there is a certain level of comfort in knowing that no one is ever TRULY anonymous on the internet.

Look to the right to see who is on my blogroll.  If you are trolling one of those blogs and the owner of the blog is looking for additional information in order to make sure you aren't some whacko they actually know in real life who is checking for them...whatever resource that I, as a blogger, can offer them...I extend.

Because I know the same is extended to me.

Stop doing evil shit.  If you don't like them people...don't go over there.  Simple.

NOTHING IS ANONYMOUS ON THE INTERNET FOLKS.  THE SOONER YOU REALIZE THAT...THE BETTER FOR ALL INVOLVED.

SIP:  That is all.

WHO SAYS CRAP LIKE THIS TO PEOPLE????????????????????

We have LOTS of reasons to HATE Butta...but this takes the cake.  HATE HER!  WAIT TILL 1969 AND SHELLY SEE THIS!
