Just like the headline says, this page/board is where you can discuss the stuff that we didn’t cover in today’s issue. (It’s sort of like feedback with a twist) Remember, NO name calling, racial taunting, graphic sex talk and vulgarity in general, PLEASE.

EUR MOTIVATIONAL NOTE
Today’s ‘Live Better With Willie Jolley’ Tip: Experience Is A Great Teacher
Today’s tip for success is focused on helping you over ome this challenging economy. It is taken from my new book, Turn Setbacks Into Greenbacks, which was released today. Recently on my XM Radio show, I interviewed Dave Yoho, who is a legend in the motivational speaking industry. He is now in his 80’s yet vividly remembers growing up through that Great Depression. During the interview, he spoke of the important economic lessons he had learned in his 80-plus years, such as the fact that world economies will have good times, followed by tough times; followed by good times, followed by tough times; and then back to good times!
Those who understand that setbacks are simply part of the business process are those who thrive; while those who dwell on the changes brought about by setbacks routinely falter. Mr. Yoho said, The fact is that economic setbacks are simply a part of life, and in life things change . . . and the secret is to not give up! Keep going and keep growing through the challenges. The key is to remember that these temporary setbacks can empower you to reach even greater levels of success. Stay positive and keep going. Things will change and you will be better because you didn’t give up.

Good Morning. Is anyone going to Denny’s for free Grand Slam Breakfast? I don’t know if I want to deal with the crowds.
Today’s CHOCOLATE JAM is “Mothership Connection” by Parliament – the entire album!
Morning. It is snowing here again. I thought I lived in the South. This is too much. Tallchix, I was the one who referred you to liberator.com. Those toy…I mean tools are pricey. I woke up at 2:30 this morning. I ended up watching Celebrity Fit Club… Harvey…..yummy.
I watched Celebrity Fit Club too and it was GOOD! The fact that KFed & Shar are both on there makes for more drama! Bobby Brown was crackin me up!
Hey Juice! Yes they are lil pricey.
Mama told me one day it was gonna happen
But she never told me when.
She told me it would happen when I was much older.
Wish it would’ve happened then.

Is this the end?
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know.
Is this the end?
I gotta know, I gotta know, I gotta know.

Yo…Whatsup?…Has anybody ever watched Little people, big world?…Those are some little, nasty muthafuccers…have you seen the dayum house?…Howcum, they don’t clean that muthafuccer?…Sh1t is everywhere…How can little folks have so much junk lying around…The cat walks over everything, the dog is just there…They never walk the muthafuccer…The sponsors spend money to make the house little people friendly…They lower the counters, stove and other sh1t so the little muthafuccers can reach stuff without grabbing the step-ladder…and they just mess-up everything…Nobody cleans!!!…Matt hired a cleaning lady once and Amy got mad cause somebody “dared” to clean house…Man, they need to hire Nicey Nash to clean that dayum house…I would never eat over there…I’m sure they’re a nice enuff family but them some nasty little muthafuccers…Man they lick fingers and double dip sh1t…Uh, uh…Howcum, you never see any little Black muthafucers on the show?…I know why, cause they’d tell Amy to clean that dayum house…
Boot…I thought it was just me! I told my husband that the house is one of the nastiest I have seen. And got five grown arse walking around it! Its hard for me to look at them b/c they are so nasty. But Pitt Boss has an Asian who looks like the midget twin of Jon Gossling.
Are there black midgets? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one.
…I don’t think they like being called midgets…but yes Virginia, there are Little Black people…Bushwick Bill is one…and there was a lil muthafuccer in Friday…
Sorry, I meant dwarfs…I mean little people. Oh yeah, I forgot about Friday and the dude in Bad Santa.
LMAO! You need to visit the F4A more often Boot!
I apologize fo calling them ‘midget’…it was me fast typing and working at the same time. Hope y’all didn’t get offended.
Dwarfs and “midgets” are actually two different things. Dwarfism is a disease and there are different types. “Midgets”, for whatever reason, are just born small. It’s okay to call a dwarf such because it comes from a medical term, but I just call all of them little people.
Good morning family!
Morning pretty lady!
My mom is having surgery on her hand again (3rd time) today. Anyway I was talking to my dad on the phone telling him he needed to stay out of mom’s way because surgery isn’t until 1 and she can’t eat or most important to her, drink coffee. He says “I’m not eating or drinking either to keep her company.” I say “Aww, what a good husband you are.” He says “You need to tell her that. She’s right here.” Hands the phone to mom and I start talking and he’s in the background “Is she telling you what a good husband I am? Why are yall talking about the weather? You’re supposed to be talking about how I’m wasting away to nothing for soldarity.” She’s telling him to hush. My parents are hilarious!
Your parents are very funny! They seem to always enjoy each other separately and as a couple. Even your father needs his ego stroke sometimes. It’s just the way we are built.
HAHA! Love that! Sup?
Santa Baby. I JUST posted at the bottom I missed you and here you are. My life is complete.
How are all the ladies doing this a.m.? Any plans for the V-day?
NYE…just the brother I need to talk to. BTW, where is Sobro? I digress…as a man, what would you consider a good valentine celebration/gift? I’m curious, but the comments are not to be limited to NYE. I need some ideas.
Good question Penny. I’m getting my valetine a bottle of cologne. Well, that is, if I make it to the mall when I get to Dubai. I gotta get my nails and brow done before anything!
Not a one.
First we’re going to church, then we have 3:30 reservations at Kobe’s, then we’re going to see Book of Eli, then he’ll feed me chocolate covered scrawberries *the strawberries are a wish
*
Pen, here goes and this is just my mind but oh well: how about you dressing up in a new monogrammed dress shirt with eff me pumps, smelling of his favorite cologne, with a nice watch on your arm, as you welcome him spread wide on the bed with his favorite meal waiting for him on the nightstand?
NYE….the truth is that your response is what I expected. Sounds good though…hmmm that’s what I’ll have to do after church…in church I wear my glasses, and he says I look like a dirty librarian. I see some potential

Good morning to you too, ButterCup. Who are you?
New to the board, I have time today (no boss around)and wanted to join in the fun
Welcome. Since you’re new, we need stats: sex (though with a moniker like ButterCup, I’m guessing female. I could be wrong,), marital status, kids, where ya at, watcha do and $7.50 fee for the F4A psych fund. LOL
Female, divorced, one son, live in St. Louis and can I pay the fee when I get my tax refund? 10-14 business days, lol.
YAY!!! Finally, somebody from my hometown! Butter, I live in St. Louis too!
My perfect V-Day would entail a luxury suite overlooking a beach with palm trees, pretty blue water, unlimited room service to keep the goodies flowing and Darren Sharper AND Vin Diesel. ROFLMAO
Oooooooh, Darren Sharper…*sigh*
I can’t even look at that man’s pic no more cuz it’s hypnotizing! I sent my friend the pic and she cropped out Gabby and made him her screensaver! LOL
I had him as my profile pic on fb for a while.
Speaking of fb, me no likey the changes.
You know tallchix, I don’t see the changes yet on my page. I was cracking up last night though, b/c everytime I refreshed my homepage, I got something different. It was like a FB lottery!
I access it from my phone so I can’t tell any changes. I guess fb mobile stayed the same
Dang nabit! I jinxed myself! Now I have the new format!
They GOT me, too, just now…
Hey everybody! Good morning! I get to see the “chocolate goodness” that is D Sharper today. They might have to hold me back from the float!
I am so jealous. Don’t let em hold you back! LOL
Huh???
Whatchu mean you’re gonna see him today??? Ooooh, I feel some serious HATERATION AND HOLLERATION coming on! Why can’t it be me??? 
The Superbowl parade passes right in front of the building at 5PM. We are being released at 2PM! (Where the heck do they think we’re gonna go? This is the one day it really pays to be here!) YLY did I get to work this morning, rain and all, and people had spots already staked out, blocking the entrance into the building. I have a specially designated standing spot, and there aren’t a lot of us that are gonna be in this area, so hopefully I’ll stand out. All I need is a smile showing those perfect teeth!
It’s okay Cuzzin’12, but keep in mind I didn’t hate when you got to see Biz Markie (I AM KIDDING!)!
LOL! Girl remember we were late so we missed Biz, I was PISSED! But I shole was rockin a “Nobody Beats the Biz” tshirt w/ my shell toe Adidas on!
I miss Juicy and letemin and hershey and sobro and all the other mia family members most of all my Santa Baby. Shoot I even miss kev.
ylawd, I miss all of them too! WAAAAAAA!
Me too!! Maybe I should go back to lurkerville
…I don’t want to tho 
YlawdY the board has been kinda sparse lately. Hopefully folks will be able to rejoin and liven up this joint soon
I agree. I need to be amused on a daily basis.
*waving* Hey flyte!
I bet all the Cali folks are outside enjoying sunshine and cool breezes. I.HATE.THEM!
I spoke to someone at Fort Irwin…weather not too good there. Granted not a blizzard like we are experiencing, but really raining!
LOL Ylawdy no sunny skies today, all we have is rain
Hey Fressy. You know misery loves company. Is it raining in SoCal too?
*waving hard* Hey Fressy!!!
Hi asize 12! It’s nice to have an online neighbor
bc, so are you in the 20s, 30s, or 40s+ club? And how old is your son?
asize12, 30s club. My son is 16.
Oh okay, thanks for the info! I have an 18 y/o daughter (she’ll be 19 next mo.) and a 13 y/o son. So do you live in the city or county? I live in the county.
Has anyone heard Sade’s new CD yet?
Welccome BC…Sade performed on the Today Show this morning. She looks really good!
Sade looks FABULOUS! She hasn’t aged a bit!
Thanks Penelope! Sade does look and sound amazing still. I previewed her CD and loved it; can’t wait to actually buy it.
Her cd cover is so beautiful!
asize 12, I’m in the county, well almost out of it (closer to Arnold)
Oooh, you stay out in East Jesus!
I live in Pagedale, so it ain’t really deep in County.
I’m cracking up at East Jesus
I did see a possum last nite in the snow 
Girl I saw one in the middle of my street while I was drivign and that joka wouldn’t BUDGE! He was like “I wish you WOULD hit me!
I’m so skurred of those rats on steroids!
I feel better knowing I’m not alone in my disgust for them. That thing really creeped me out.
Then yall definitely wouldn’t want to live where I live. Deer, possum, coons, wild turkeys, occasional fox, crackheads….Ah the joys of the garden part of the state.
Ummm yeah, I’ll pass on the wildlife and the crackheads (lol). But I’m sure it’s quiet and scenic in your area.
Sounds like my area….cows, horse, coons, possums….lions, tiger OH WAIT never mind got a lil carried away.
Yeah, I left out the cows, horses, sheep, goats, a pig farm even.
YLY have you always lived out in the country? How far outside of the city limits do you live?
LOL @ tallchix. I actually LIVE within the city limits.
My development is right at the edge of the “city” limits with a park next to it and then woods, fields and farms in one direction and a liquor store a 2 minute walk in the other. You could say I have the best of both worlds…if I liked wildlife hanging out in the yard.
Our “city” has a population of about 7000 give or take a teen pregnancy.
LOL at “give or take a teen pregnancy.” I’m in the country and I love it but I don’t get much company out there. The drive into Dallas 6 days a week is getting a little old. I’ve been debating if I want to put my house on the market.
It was fun chatting with everyone. I’m getting out of here early.
