BLACK HISTORY
Nov. 23, 1897: JL Love puts patents on the pencil sharpener. (Source www.BlackFacts.com)
Good morning all! Happy Tuesday!
Today’s CHOCOLATE JAM is “Forever” by The Floacist featuring Musiq Soulchild
Good morning, folks!
Happy 70th Birthday to my Aunt Minnie! She is so unique in that she wears tinsel wreaths on her head during Christmas, wears glitter in her wigs every other time of the year, writes poems like nobody’s business, and has some of the baddest vintage jewelry on the face of this earth…
RANDOM– did yall see that Kim from RHOA is preggers by that football player she flirted with at Sheree’s dance competition?
Happy birthday, Aunt Minnie! She has a cute name
Kim is prego by that white dude? Hmmm… didn’t take her very long. I wonder who has more $, him or Big Poppa.
I never would have guessed she has a nursing degree. I wish she had been there to see Phaedra instead of Khandi.
LOL She is sweet—bipolar and smokes like a chimney– but sweet! We call her Minnie the Moocha like that Cab Calloway song. My great grandmother’s name was Minnie, hence the reference…
GIRL, YES! I hate to say this, but I think Kim may have done that to extend her 5 minutes of fame. I mean, I can really see Bravo doing a reality show on her impending birth. At the very minimum, it will be the highlight of next year’s season. I wonder if she is smoking/drinking like she is notorious for doing?
BTW, if you guys like to give trinkets and stuff to your coworkers for Christmas, Pier 1 has a lot of nice stocking stuffers (candles, unique jewelry, etc) for reasonable prices. So does Kirklands (a VERY NICE homegoods store). I never would have thought about those places before going in there…
RANDOM– I sent an event invite to my hometown friends of Facebook to meet up at Jillians on Saturday. I thought it would be cool for the out of town folks to see the hometown folks in a fun setting. How about folks are forwarding that on and now there are about 450 invites? So glad I put a disclaimer out there that they better not be asking for ME at the front door because that shat is informal like a mugg! LOL Oh, and how about I inadvertently invited Osun, too (lol)…
Hey LawdHv…Where’s my invite??? lol
LHM – I was in Pier One the other day thinking the same thing. Too bad I don’t like these mofo’s. I might get some stuff for my aunt & friends though.
You KNOW somebody is gonna say “I should be on the list, get LHM out here!!”
Kim better not be smoking & drinking if she’s really pregnant. Her other 2 kids are already crazy enough.
side note: why do I think if a pregnant mama smokes, the baby is gonna come out grey?
Flyte, I only sent it to my Columbia folks… You gonna be nearby on Saturday? I’ll most def send it to you!
Love– you know good and well she is probably smoking. If she didn’t go to Augusta to see Phaedra because Khandi wouldn’t let her smoke in the car, SURELY her addiction is such that she needs to puff during her pregnancy. To each her own who decides to do that, but Kim’s baby already has a negative start with her foolishment gene so she needs to try to give them as much advantage as possible!
It’s pitiful all the way around.
I would think that now that she’s carved her body the way she wants it she wouldn’t want to have another baby.
I guess time will tell…
My bff’s cousin had a baby and a tummy tuck/boob job and she was serious when she said she’ll never have another baby.
LHM, I wish I was…I’ll be in the big “O” until Friday…LMAO @ Lovely and the “grey” baby…
Went to the dentist yesterday afternoon…thought I would have to get a root canal…but the doc said since the temporary filling he put in last wednesday was working(no pain for me) that he would try out a long term filling(less money out my pocket)….so I gets home yesterday evening…after the numbness has worn off…and I swear it feels like this dude done put the filling right on a nerve in the tooth or something like every few minutes I get a pain/sensation that shoot thru my body…that hurts like hell…been like this all night…I woke up this morning first thing I did was call and left a message on their appointment inbox describing the pain. I ended the message by saying ion know what yall schedule looking like today but yall finna have to get me in first thing THIS MORNING….*ouch* *grabs jaw in pain* I wouldnt wish this on nobody…im headed to their office once they open in 15 minutes #hell
Oh my bad. Morning All. Lawdhv: where’s my invite?
SB – ouch!
What do people put cranberry sauce on?
(i know it’s a dumb question, but I don’t eat it so i have no clue what it goes on)
On Dressing @ Love…
OAN: Cee-Lo singing his azz off on his new cd…for real…number 12 sounds just like some old school blues that my dad used to listen to and as a result we listened to….so soulful…tight album…
Ina Garten has this cranberry sauce recipe on google today and I might try it out for my fam. Looks interesting.
I’d warm it up and put it on vanilla ice cream and some pound cake.
Cee-Lo is that dude. I wish 3000 would hurry up and put something out. I switch stations trying to find the Deuces remix just so I can hear his voice!!!
Tupelou… It’s in Columbia, SOUTH CACK! I’ll roll thru MS on my way back…
I am going to get Cee Lo’s CD today… Is there a soundtrack for For Color Girls?
Good morning all! Let’s all have a moment of silence…That skank Boomquesha gave me a trojan virus and killed my computer at the gig. They’re still working on it, but I’m sure it’s dead. So from now on I’ll be posting from my phone, which is what I should’ve been doing from the get-go! So this means no more “Word of the Day” cuz it takes forever to post. Plus I can’t click on thumbs up or down. Oh well, it was inevitable. Y’all be careful on this bootleg ass website!
I thought that said “I’m rolling through MS on my back”
I was gonna say… SB is gonna be on your front!!
Hey asize…glad you’re on here…I have a question to ask you…hope you can answer
Hey flyte! What’s crackin?
Awhile back you mentioned that everyone in your household does their own laundry…i’ve been thinking about making my children do theirs…how it that working for you? Did you notice an increase in your water? Does each person have their own day to wash? Any other advice would be helpful…
12 – did you see Neyo on Monique?
flyte…while we’re waiting for a12, I will say that the rule in my house is..if you need clean clothes you better wash them. No certain day, time or anything, it’s on YOU!
morning fam….
SB – I’m looking at an application from someone who banks with your bank
It’s a small world… He lives in Shannon, MS. Is that near you?
Thanks Letmein
Good morning family. What it do?
Overton is 50????
YLY – he CGI… I always thought he was kinda cute.
>flyte, it’s actually just like letmein said. Every man/woman for himself! We don’t have set days or anything, we just wash when we have time. We’re all so busy, it’s amazing that we ever see each other! Hubby has 3 jobs + he’s J’s football & basketball coach. J has football & basketball practice, I work full time, work out 4 times per week, & sing in the choir @ church…Lately I’ve been only seeing hubby in passing cuz he works the graveyard shift…I miss him so much:-( Life is a bit hectic right now, but we’ll be alright. I’m looking forward to the holiday’s cuz PD will be home from school and we’ll be spending some well deserted quality family time, that makes me happy:-) Sorry for rambling, just speaking from my heart.
My boys have been doing their own laundry since they were 12 yrs old. My daughter has been doing hers since she was around 10 because “I took too long to do laundry”, lol. Anyway, it is never too early to teach them the basics.
well deserted = well deserved
Love: that’s literally 3 minutes from house…about 6 from my bank…what are you needing again? I’m sure I wont be providing the info, but just wondering…lol
OAN: had my root canal started today…this was supposed to provide me relief thru the thanksgiving break…i’ll go back next wednesday to finish the procedure…let us pray I no long feel those pains from earlier. Amen.
Lovely and LHM I already heard on the radio this morning that Ms. Kim Z from RHOA is already asking for a spin off show like Bethenny’s. She got with dude cause big Poppa is supposedly broke and now she has 18 more years of child support coming in. Got to give it to her she knows what she is doing. I dont think her new boo has that long of a career in the NFL though so… lol
I have always wanted to know what is the reason for having root canals. Thank God and knock on wood I have never had to have one. I think these braces are torture enough.
SB – what are you talking about?
ohhhh, the app I was looking at. I don’t need anything, I was just saying that I was reviewing an app for one of ya’lls banking customers. He’s requesting a loan through us now.
I’ve know this chick for like 15 years and she has had braces the whole time.
God bless her, but whenever she gets them off she’s still gonna look like a monkey’s uncle.
I have another friend who just got hers off and her smile is absolutely one of the most beautiful smiles I’ve ever seen in my life.
Kim needs to just chill on RHOA. I doubt I’d be able to stomach a show with JUST her on it.
Ohhhhh ok Love…gotcha. Welp if he’s got good credit and income…tell him to come holla at me…:-)
*sings* “This love is classic And not just simply because I say it is.
It’s right on time (right on time)
And it’s timeless (timeless) And it’ll be right here, for always” *from Cee-Lo’s album….jammin*
Love, I can not WAIT until I get my braces off. I actually have a new doctor (he’s a kewt brother, but he is married…
). My old doctor was taking his TIME with me. This one has set up an extended appointment the next time to redo brackets to make the progression faster.
Once I get these sucka’s off, I plan to get them whitened, possibly veneered, fillings recapped in white, AND a gold tooth. LOL
Frezzy– how long do you have? My doc told me about 6 more months. It’s OK, but I really would prefer to kiss without braces. Not that I’ve been kissing anybody or doing any other type of illegal shat with my braces… *straightens pearls*
Tupelou, whatever you do DO NOT suck through straw or any on other suckable stuff during this time. You will lift the original root packing and could possible get a dry socket. Worst. Pain. Ever.
Oh well, off to Hibachi for yet another birthday lunch. I have gaine 72 lbs in 4 days. Jaysus be some fat-free rice/shrimp/steak and saki!
Thanks also asize and ms…We’re going to try this during the holiday break so I can make sure they have it down before something goes in white and comes out pink
SB- they’re trying to find him a lender halfway across the country if that tells you anything.
LHM – we have a fam friend who does cosmetic dentistry in H-Town… can’t think of her name right now but she just opened her own practice.
You have a beautiful smile with the braces so I’m sure it’ll still be beautiful once they come off.
LHM I have about three more months to go. I plan on having mine whitened when I get these thangs off also. Has never had a problem with the braces getting in the way of anything.
Here it is, here’s the link:
http://www.sdshouston.com/about-us.html
lol Love. That explains it all…lol
So, with the braces, can the guy feel them on his lips or anything?
I guess you don’t kiss with your teeth though…
Just got my sister Usher/Trey Songz tickets for her birthday which is this Thursday. She will be sooo surprised!!! She didn’t think she was going because her mom passed a couple days before we were to get the tickets. There was no insurance/burial policy so that had to be paid for. I can’t wait to see her face! I guess I’ll snatch her up an outfit when I go shopping Friday and that’ll be her Christmas gift. As much as I want to kinda check out the show, I’ll be the good big sister and let her take one of her friends.
SB – before it’s said and done, this dude is gonna be trying to get credit in Canada or Mexico…
Letmein – did your daughter get tickets? Can they go together?
Lwdhv: thanks boo. they aint go over that with me in my friendly reminders before I left…but now that you mention that i remember someone else going thru that exact thing…*mental note…no suckin thru straws…* OAN: can I suck on titties?
Lovely…I told my coworker that they need to use her as a spokesperson for braces. Her teeth are absolutely beautiful when they orignally looked like raggedy piano keys. She’s a walking billboard! LOL!
flyte…I was amazed at how well my son picked up on it. I never have a problem with him washing. PPP was good too until she went to college. College taught her new things like no ironing, and throw all that ish in one load and get it over with. Her clothes, her money that she spends on clothes, so oh well….
SB – no sucking. period.
Letmein – I think they help 95% of the people. The other 5% just need a whole face transplant.
>lovely, I forgot to respond, yes, I did see NeYo on Mo-Mo last night and he was awesome! I heart him. He has true talent and will be around for a while. And although he’s not the most handsome dude, I like his style. He’s confident.
Hey everybody1 Hope you all are well.
OK…A-12…you were not the only one that Boomqueesha tried to get. I have Kaspersky, and yesterday, it kept pinging on the EUR page, so there was definitely something going on yesterday. And Kaspersky said it was a Trojan virus.
Lovely, there is some sandwich that calls for turkey, cranberry sause and either bleu or cream cheese…its like some ultimate turkey sandwich. I dont eat cranberry sauce either, but I know I have seen that recipe hundreds of times…for whatever reason, it is a pretty popular sandwich, b/c there are several recipes on line for it.
OK…what else y’all talking about?
12 – I was not impressed with his highwaters. I love his music though.
Pen – My grandma told me not to bother; it’ll just be me, her and her husband this year and she doesn’t really eat it either. No need in going through the trouble for just him.
Good Day Good People! Today is my Friday and I’m soooo happy!
Just for the record….Crooked Brother is the bomb. I heart him!!
I had braces in h.s. Although I wasn’t pleased with them back then (I cried for 2 days str8), 2 years later, I’m glad I got them. Viva la braces…..for the sexy and sophisticated!!
*snaps* shux…
YLAWDY is PSF calling ME to find someplace she can go buy a new power cord for her laptop? Do I KNOW of computer parts/repairs in New Brunswick? NOOOOOOOOO. But I’m supposed to look them up on the internet and TEXT her the numbers. Wait, don’t they have free internet in their apt? Wait, don’t I pay a ridiculous cell bill to AT&T each month so she can have internet access and every other bell and whistle? WTH!
I KNEW I shoulda got a puppy rather than a baby!
But I bet you’re looking up places and texing phone numbers
lol Hell yeah Love…you know she is…lol And the TDB done came outta nowhere on our azzes today….dude/ma’am its the holiday season geesh…lol
Dang!! What’s really the problem!?
Wow… I just saw the pitiful Scroogalicious TBD’s work.
I suppose we should feel honored that somene so pathetic gets up damn near daily and thinks about us. Some cyber-mofos that he/she has never met…
Nice to know I’ve had such a major impact on your pitiful little life.
OK. I looked them up but I DID NOT text them. I made her stay on the phone and write them down. LOL
Or YLY, say like a friend of mine says, “I should have swallowed here when I had the chance…”
YLY – I guess you showed her who’s the boss!!!
I used to ask my mom “how do you spell ___” and she would always say “go look it up”.
If it had been socially acceptable for me to smack fire from her, I would have!! I would always say “how can I look it up if I can’t spell it?” but I kinda knew better.
I guess the valuable lesson I learned was “don’t ask her, just figure it out on my own”.
12 – yeah, I liked the sweater & cap combo, that was hot. I even liked the s.hoes, just not those doggone floods. That’ll never be hot to me (on a man).
I just want to vent here… If you come to me and complain fidd-leben times a day about your manager, please come with two or three ways on how you are going to handle the situation because that is the first thing that I am going to ask you.
I am ok with complaining, but you gotta have some solutions in your back pocket, otherwise you are waisting my time.
Please and demote you.
Lovely…yeah my daugher is going. I won’t stick my baby sister on her though although she did say she would take her Saturday morning to the CD signing at Nebraska Furniture Mart. It’s going to be a mad house out there!
Hey TBD, your nut sack stinks!!!! Go take a bath~
LHM – people like that burn my buns!! Don’t sit and complain about if you don’t have a possible solution or if you’re not willing to accept your own pitiful fault in the problem.
That saying “you’re either a part of the problem or a part of the solution” is sooooooooooo true!!
LETMEIN – who’s gonna be out there!? Don’t tell me Trey!!! I will put on a Bodyworks dress and some clear-bottom stripper pumps and be there at 4am!!!!
Lovely…get to squeezing in that dress baby ’cause yes it’s him. My daughter would be LIVID if she knew I was telling. she swore me to secrecy because she’s hoping not a lot of people show up. SMH….poor delusional child!
All I see is my Grey Goose bottle hidden in between the dresser and my night stand. I can’t wait to get home!
A-12, are you ‘shocked’ about the swallow comment?
Letmein – I’m going to make a liq run after work (or tomorrow) to prepare for the friends in town this week.
I doubt I go out there… If he’s still there when I get up around 10am, cool
Her secret is safe with me!
