Questions from a male FB friend:

Many couples that have been together seem to reignite after time apart.. Some figure it's easier to work with someone they know, rather than someone they aren't familiar with.. Is that settling??? Does it work???

Question...

What are you wearing today?

Questions from a male FB friend:

If you have forgiven your significant other for infidelity in the past, and the commit the same infraction again... How many times would/should you forgive them??? Could there become a time when they start to take advantage of your kindness???

Questions from a male FB friend:

If you and your significant other agree to go out at times seperately, is there a curfew??? Should the male be allowed to stay out later because he may be able to take care of himself if something happens???

Scenario...

You receive a card in the mail addressed to you and your spouse.

You open it and find it's a check for a loan repayment of $300.

From someone you don't know.

You call and ask your spouse regarding.

Your spouse tells you it's from the receptionist at work who was in a bad spot a couple of months ago.

You knew nothing of this.

You good?

Update on Richard From Michelle:

Hi Monica,

Thank you so much for checking on us. Richard was discharged Wednesday
evening. The doctors recommended putting him in a stroke rehab center,
I opted to bring him home instead. The only issue with bringing him
home is I can't leave him alone. So the last few days have been trying,
but were surviving. His parents will be arriving on Tuesday and will
stay for the next month to help out. He's dealing with the situation
pretty well. He can't comprehend spoken words, but we communicate by me
typing and he responds verbally. Sounds bother him (the speech
therapist warned me about this) everything is muted i.e. TV, phones so
it's very quiet here. His first night home he woke up startled at 2:00
AM I tried talking to him, but he asked me not to; the slightest sound
caused him pain. I soothed him and eventually it passed. Some times he
cries and it breaks my heart. He worries about me; it blows me away
that in his present situation he's worried about me.

He's sleeping right now. As I watch him I pray that God restores him.
In the mean time I'm here for him regardless of how long it takes. I'm
so in love with him and nothing will ever change that. He asked why do
I love him so much. My response because he loves me so much. Before I
met him I thought I knew what love was, I was so mistaken. He has shown
me true love in the purest sense. We always joke that we have 50 years
or more together. I'm looking forward to every second of those 50
years.

Thanks again for checking on us and listening to me as I babble. Thanks
to the tribe for all the prayers.  I don't feel alone and it's awesome
to know others are seeking God on our behalf.  

From My Inbox...

Hey Monica,
 
I'm not even sure how to go about asking this, but I think I saw somewhere on your blog where people were helping each other by trading clothing items, etc.
 
I have dropped a few pant sizes this year, and am not in a position to be able to go out and get new things, not even new "used" things.  I am trying to find a good job, but am now jammed up with not having anything to even wear to an interview, let alone throughout the week if I were to land something.
 
I am wondering if you may know of anyone who has some size 10 or maybe even 9 at this point, business casual attire they may no longer need?  Perhaps I could cover shipping expenses or pay a small fee for the items. 
 
I hope this doesn't completely throw you for a loop.  It's hard to be humble, but this is where I'm at. 

If anyone has anything they can send to her please let me know and I will send you her address.  Thank you in advance. 

Question...

What's the last thing you saw and thought..."Wow...that's beautiful."

Andre Walker Hair Products!

 

Mine came today!  I probably won't wash my hair again until Thursday (just washed it today) so I'll tell yall what I thought then!  Did any of  you order it yet?  Interested?

Scenario...

If YOUR best friend called you around two in the morning, woke you up and then didn't really say much but sounded "some kinda way"...what would YOU do?

P.S. This was typed with my thumbs.

Friend Request?????

If you received a message from someone telling you they rather you join their fan page since they only accept friend requests from people they actually KNOW...what would you think? ESPECIALLY knowing you didn't send their azz a friend request in the first place. Weird huh?

Two things I LOVE together!

Avocado and tomato!

What are two things YOU love together?

Question...

Have YOU started Christmas decorating yet?

Hmmmm...Scenario from real life...

Your brother has been laid off twice this year.

He didn't make a lot of money when he was working because of the choices he's made in life.

The mother of his child is receiving about $50 every 2 weeks in child support from his unemployment benefits.

It's no where NEAR enough, of course.

He's getting to the point where he is allowing his life's circumstances to make him not care and he's being a nasty azz to everyone.  Instead of showing positive emotion he withdraws because he feels defeated and pretends not to care.

You recognize this but also recognize that he's done this all of his life.  When things don't go his way...he acts an azz and lashes out to those closest to him because he thinks they won't bail on him and instead take his shit.

It's also the reason he's always the first on the chopping block when it comes to lay offs because folks can't stank his attitude sometimes.

You don't deal with him on that level because you feel that he's a grown azz man and should KNOW better and treat the people trying to help him MUCH better.

You and your parents get along fine with your nephews mother. 

Granted...you only deal with or see her when it's something involving the child but seriously...she's never been a problem and she's a good mother.

You and your parents get together and it is decided that you will send her a check once a month and your parents will step up buying clothing and school needs for the child.

You don't have a problem with this as your income supports this and you love the child dearly.

Your mother tells your brother what has been decided.

He calls you and asks that you give the money to him so he can give it to her.  I

n fact...he PLEADS with you to do it this way because he already feels less of a man that he can't do more for his child.  You don't say much during the conversation because you're thinking on it and he starts getting nasty...but again...that's his steelo...and it is who he is.

You're used to that.

He's your brother...you can't change that.  You're going to do for the child regardless as to who gives the money to the child's mother.

What do you do?

Either / Or?

Bed pillows:

Synthetic?

OR

Down?????

Tell the truth and shame the devil!

Were you ever called a lil "fast tail" or "mannish" growing up?

Scenario...

Thanksgiving morning arrives.

You, your mom, two Aunts and a cousin are in the kitchen cooking.

Your sister is coming later.

Your sister has always been a bit different from the rest of the family.

She arrives with her new man and they both smell like weed.

The new man goes down to the theater room in the basement with the other family men to watch a game.

The kids are all down in the basement play area. 

Other family members are in the living room.

You hear loud voices coming from the basement and go in to find your husband arguing with new dude about his language. 

Your father walks off shaking his head in deep disappointment.

Your father-in-law is standing up along with several other men in the family like they are about ready to put hands on old dude if he keeps stepping out of line.

What do you do?

Scenario...

Your 16 year old daughter is very popular at school.

She leaves the house with two young ladies to go to a movie.

She calls you during the time she should have been in the theater and asks that you come pick her up.

You go and find her so mad she has tears in her eyes.

BUT...she REFUSES to tell you why she's so mad and simply continues saying, "It's nothing...just let it go."

What would YOU do?

Tell the truth and shame the devil!

When you were a kid...did YOU study the Sears Christmas Book for DAYS?????????????

Break Yourself off FOOL!

Thanksgiving is over and, hopefully, so are all of the leftovers.

What did YOU have for breakfast this morning? 

*sigh*

Yes...I said first mall.  We hit three.

"My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" by Kanye West Review

I'm a Kanye fan as yall know.  Dude is a genius and it's really quite that simple.  Of course I purchased his current cd the day it was released and I bought it from the store so I could hold it in my hand.

I've been listening to it now for a minute and I'll be honest when I say that the music is so sick it's crazy.

The beats man? 

Wow.  Just...wow.

Sure a couple of the songs go on for a tad too long but hey...I understand that he meant it to be that way.  Symphonic rap is what I call this flavor and it just goes to show what everyone already knows...Kanye is mad talented like...WHOA.

The words however?

*sigh*

Is he spitting rhymes at you effortlessly?  Yup.  Is he waxing in a way that makes you smile when you catch it how he threw it?  Yup.

Is he disturbed as hell?

Yup.

Dude has issues man. 

And they are all up and through the lyrics of this album. 

SIP:  And so does Chris Rock.

And I feel so sorry for him.  Not in a way that is pitying but in a way that's like a big sister.  Like...I'd like to meet him and let him come over to 13700 and play Scrabble with us and cuddle up with Lucy because she gives the best hugs.  I'd like to cook for him and debate and argue with him.  I'd like to show him that just because you disagree...doesn't mean you can't be friends.  I'd like to help him see that all women aren't objects, want something from him, are evil, after his money, or drama filled.

Dude needs to see some of the good in the world.

Dude needs The Tribe.

The part that lets me know that this will never happen is because if it did...this type of genius might not be possible because you have to be in a very dark place to produce this type of renaissance filled in pain, strain and, dare I say...hate.

But we've all been there.

I want him to get better.  I want his lyrics to get cleaner.  MUCH cleaner.  But I want him to continue creating and taking music to levels others have forgotten can exist between artists and fans.

I'm not a music critic.  I simply like what I like.  I like...no...LOVE Kanye's music but his lyrics bring me down.  Waaaaaaaay down.  And it makes me hurt for his tragic soul.

That baby misses his mommy.

Kanye...if you read this...you're welcome to our home for dinner.  Leave your phone in the car, leave the papparazi at the airport.  Don't show up drunk or high.  There won't be any cameras.  Oh...and don't wear black.  Lucy loves to give hugs and her doggie hair will get all over your clothes.

Have you heard Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy yet?

SIP:  Yes.

Are you as impressed by it as the critics are?

SIP:  Yes.  Ridiculously so.

Are you able to separate Kanye the sometimes obnoxious, egotistical man from Kanye the artist? 

SIP:  I'll be honest when I say that it is sometimes extremely difficult to do but then you hear his music and listen to his lyrics and you realize he's a tortured soul.  You recognize it is the reason he is able to create something so masterful.  So...amazing.  Some of his lyrics are crude and in extremely poor taste but you sense that, somehow, it's truly from his heart and that it's what he has such a complicated time coming to grips with.  I hope he gets to a better place soon even though I hope that doesn't interfere with digging so deep and giving a face to that which so many deny even exists.  Twisted fantasies.

Target Crazy Lady: HotNESS or HotMESS? (SM)

Just finished reading today's comments...

I feel the need to weigh in...

I think it's extremely important for the child to know both sides of his family.

HOWEVER...I understand there is a time and a place.

I think an Aunt can be involved in a child's life without it having to take place during major holidays when it might cause a MAJOR issue.

I think it's the father's place to formally introduce his child to the family...NOT the Aunt.

I don't think the child should call the UNCLE daddy.  o_0.

The kid is 5.  It won't matter to him if he has Thanksgiving with his maternal or paternal family at this age.  As his favorite Aunt...EVERY.SINGLE.OTHER.DAY can be special.

Until such a time as either A.)  The father and stepmother step up and be better, bigger people....OR B.)  The child is old enough to ask questions he wants and DESERVES answers to.

If you don't care for family members don't invite them over.  ALL FAMILY AIN'T GOOD FAMILY.

Period.

Do I think old girl was being messy?  Hmmmmm...good question.  I don't think that was her intent but I do think she got to the point where she didn't give a rat's azz what two people she doesn't care for thought.

And I understand that.

Why?

I DO WHAT I WANT!

 

Humph...

I'm very busy and important and everyone pays attention to what I have to say EXCEPT...

SIP:  Yup...you'll always be grounded.  ROFL!

I LOVE my Godson!

He just finished his very first Southern Comfort Cake! Go E!

I'm thankful for...

Your turn.

Mr. West

Did YOU purchase Kanye's cd? What say you?

P.S. This was typed with my thumbs.

Hmmmmm...

Is it fair that a child from an "outside" relationship doesn't get to interact with his/her paternal family members OUTSIDE of his/her father and wife?  How can this be done THE RIGHT WAY?

I'm confucious...

Why in the WORLD would this come up in divorce proceedings???????????? 

EXCLUSIVE: Fantasia's Court Confession: I Aborted My Married Lover's Baby

Question...

Are YOU working today?  All day?

From My Inbox...

Okay, so this is the deal.  I am having about 30+ folks over to the house for Turkey Day.  My brother is coming with his wife and 7 kids. . . . or so I thought.  (He was supposed to bring the Publix cake)

He backed out because he doesn't like the fact that I am friends with his ex-mistress who had a baby by him that his trifling ass doesn't take care of.  He is mad that not only do I stay in touch with him, his son calls my hubby daddy.  He is upset that I am having him over to meet the rest of our family tomorrow.  I wasn't at first, but then again, everyone knows about the baby so stop hiding him.  

His wife took him back but wants him and my family to not have any contact.  As a woman, I think that is a trifling thing.  I really don't do him or his wife, but our grandfather died 2 months ago and this is our family's way of honoring him by everyone getting together.  

Even my crackhead auntie and uncle are coming and I really don't want them there but this is bigger than me.  Should I renege on having my nephew over and try to convince my brother to come over?  Should I say eff my brother and his wife and bring my nephew?  I am confused.  I don't have to be anonymous as I will answer any questions that come up on the comments.  Thanks!
