Comment: Remember how I filled out that profile on eharmony.com yesterday? Well in my mailbox this morning are seven potential "matches". The irony of it is, based on the name and where they live, I think I know two of them. This morning I gotta figure out how to turn this thing off. LOL

Comment: I like the concept of Eharmony, but I wasn't feeling most of my matches. Their profiles made them seem really boring. There were a few who were cool, but they lived too far away to pursue anything. I had a ton of hits on match. Apparently the pics I posted got the men all excited (Take your minds out the gutter. I'm just cute) I had to cut match out though after I saw a friend on there who had no business being on there. I became really wary of internet dating after that. You have no way of knowing who's lying. My cousin has been on quite a few dates with men she met on match and she likes it.

Comment: OK, where is everyone? I'm bored. I need some stimulation. What's today's topic? In the meantime, I found this on MSN. Made me laugh. We women are well aware that most of the time we're a profound mystery to men. And for the most part, we like it that way. But the thought has occurred to just about every woman: Would it really be so bad if he knew _________ about me? Wouldn't it help him understand me better? And more importantly, Wouldn't he annoy me less if he knew what I really wanted? So for the benefit of women everywhere (and for your benefit too, guys—remember, a happy woman makes for a much happier man), we're going to let men in on a little of what really makes us tick, deep down. Read on for 11 near-universal secrets of womankind. Some may shock you, others may be things you've suspected for a long time (but never had the nerve to ask about). But know this: the woman in your life? She's hiding more secrets than these, including a few you'd never imagine. Lucky you—you get to spend a lifetime learning them all. 1. Everything we buy for ourselves—shoes, a skirt, even just stuff from the drugstore—really costs 20 percent more than we tell you it did.
Just because it's a classic sitcom plot doesn't mean it isn't true. "Sometimes I'll buy an outfit and charge half of it on our credit card and pay for the other half in cash so my husband doesn't know what I'm actually spending," admits one 32-year-old, who requested anonymity to protect her sneaky secret. Yeah, we know honesty is the best policy, hiding your spending habits is bad, blah blah blah. But sometimes we just don't want the hassle of arguing over the price of the fancy shampoo. Is that so wrong? We don't think so. 2. We actually think about sex—with you!—a lot.
Sometimes we think about it all day long. It's just that by the end of the day we're too damn tired to do anything about it. Now, if you could only catch us at lunchtime…

Comment: 3. We're just as nervous about commitment as you are.
True, many girls grow up dreaming of Prince Charming, the white wedding, and happily ever after. But we're human, just like you, and when it comes down to the reality of tying our life to another person's, we get scared, too. "The idea of getting married completely freaked me out at first," says my friend Lisa, 34. "I know this sounds like a guy cliché, but I saw it as giving up my independence and being tied down." The good news is, once we're hitched, we're generally pretty delighted about it. Says Lisa, "Now that I am married, having a life commitment is so comforting and wonderful. I love knowing that we are a team and that we're going to be on the same team forever." 4. We may be modern and independent, but we still want you to be "the man." We do want you to be sensitive, caring 21st-century males, but even the most %*$-kicking, take-no-prisoners woman still wants to feel taken care of by her man somehow. Whether that means you take charge in bed, know how to fix the car and kill spiders, or even just carry the big suitcase when we're on vacation—when you act all manly, even if you're 98 pounds soaking wet, it makes us feel more feminine, more safe. "I love that my friends and family always comment on how my husband opens the door for me and does all kinds of other chivalrous things—especially when I was pregnant, when he was so protective of me and my belly," says Lorraine, 29, of New Hartford, NY. "At the end of the day, being in his strong arms is definitely a good feeling, no matter how independent I know I am."

Comment: 5. Our ex-boyfriends were not completely terrible in bed. You know how we're always telling you things like, "No one does it like you do"? Um, yeah. Well, we may have been stretching the truth just a teensy bit. But we'll never actually tell you that a past lover was a bedroom dynamo—we're smarter than that. Just know that whatever toe-curling orgasms the other guy gave us, sex with you really is a million times better—because it's you, and you're the one we really want. 6. We're scared that we'll turn into our mothers. We love our mothers, really. We admire them, we're grateful to them, we think they're the most amazing women on the planet. We just don't want to be them. That's why one of the worst insults you can hurl at a woman is, "You're acting just like your mother." But here's one that's even worse: "You're acting just like my mother." It sends a horrible oedipal shiver down our spines—did he marry me because I'm like his mom? Will he start expecting me to cut the crusts off his PB&J? So please, if you value your sex life, never ever compare your wife to your mother. Out loud, anyway. 7. We want you to be jealous—but just a little bit.
We want you to notice—and care!—when the waiter flirts with us, or when other guys check us out on the street. It makes us feel that we matter to you. But please don't get all Neanderthal and possessive on us. "I'm very loyal, and if my guy can't understand that I would never do anything with anyone else, then that just makes me mad," says Paulina, 22, from Brooklyn. So, to recap: Raising your eyebrows when we introduce you to our cute coworker—good. Punching him out—very, very bad.

Comment: 8. Yes, we fantasize about hot celebrity guys, but that doesn't mean we want you to be them.
Christian Bale is sexy and all, but can you imagine having to clean that Batcave? 9. We tell our girlfriends more than we admit to you (but less than you fear). Yes, we tell them about the latest marital spat, complain about our mothers-in-law, and sigh over the hobby that sucks up all your free time. But we don't tell them how big your you-know-what is or that you cried in our arms when your dad died. Some things are just too important and intimate to share. "I definitely don't tell my girlfriends details like what my husband said when he proposed, the feeling I have every time I see him look at our daughter, and the little wonderful things he does for me every day," says Lorraine. "Those are just for me." 10. We really do notice and appreciate all the chores you do.
Why don't we say so often enough? Because we can't get over all the things you don't do. My husband, for example, is incredibly diligent about keeping a 6-by-10-foot carpeted patch of our apartment vacuumed and cat hair–free, and I love that. But it kills me that it never occurs to him to dust the furniture sitting on top of that piece of carpet, or to sweep the hardwood floor adjoining it. Blame our lack of positive feedback on that stubborn female belief that there is Only One Right Way to do any given household task—our way. It's probably the real reason why men don't shoulder a greater share of housekeeping duties; we complain about how you did it wrong, so you never want to do it again. (Sounds familiar, right?) Let's make a deal: You promise to dust the lampshade (or wipe down the kitchen counter after you wash the dishes, or take out the garbage and then put a new liner in the can) once in a while, and we promise to sing your praises. Agreed? 11. We love you with all our hearts, but we still get wistful about the fact that we'll never feel that falling-in-love sizzle and spark again. I'll just come right out and say it: Most women are love addicts. And while we appreciate the depth and richness of long-time love, there is simply nothing like the giddy, fluttery, crazy feeling we get (or rather, used to get) with a brand-new guy. We know we'll never feel that high again, and there's a little part of us that will always miss it. (Why do you think we watch so many romantic comedies?) But in the end, what we get instead—you, and a lifetime of true devotion—is more than worth the price.

Comment: I was in the ninth grade when I learned a vital lesson about love. My girlfriend at the time, Amy, was stunningly cute, frighteningly smart and armed with a seemingly endless supply of form-fitting angora sweaters. And me? Let's just say I was an adolescent Chris Robinson to her budding Kate Hudson -- and well aware of my good fortune. Then one day, as we stood in line for a movie at the mall, Simone Shaw, junior high prom queen, sauntered by. Suddenly Amy turned to me. "Were you looking at her?" she asked. "Do you think she's pretty?" My mind reeled. Of course I was looking at her! Of course she was pretty! My God, she was Simone Shaw! I paused for a second, then decided to play it straight. "Well, yeah," I chortled. Five days later our breakup hit the tabloids (a.k.a. the lunchroom). There comes a time in every man's life when he discovers the value of hiding the grosser parts of his nature. He starts reciting the sweet nothings you long to hear: "No, honey, I play golf for the exercise." "No, honey, I think you're a great driver." "No, honey, I wasn't looking at that coed washing the car in the rain." We're not lying, exactly. We're just making things...easier. But Glenn Good, Ph.D., a relationship counselor, disagrees, and maybe he has a point. "These white lies are pretty innocent, but they can turn confusing," he says. "Many women think, If he's lying about himself, is he also lying about something else? Is he having an affair? To establish trust you have to tell the truth about the innocuous stuff." And so, in the interest of uniting the sexes, we've scoured the country for guys willing to share the private truths they wouldn't normally confess. Some are a bit crass. Some you've always suspected. Some are surprisingly sweet. (Guys don't like to reveal the mushy stuff, either.) But read on, and you may discover that the truth about men isn't all that ugly.

Comment: Secret #1: Yes, we fall in lust 10 times a day -- but it doesn't mean we want to leave you
If the oldest question in history is "What's for dinner?" the second oldest is "Were you looking at her?" The answer: Yes -- yes, we were. If you're sure your man doesn't look, it only means he possesses acute peripheral vision. "When a woman walks by, even if I'm with my girlfriend, my vision picks it up," says Doug LaFlamme, 28, of Laguna Hills, California. "I fight the urge to look, but I just have to. I'm really in trouble if the woman walking by has a low-cut top on." Granted, we men are well aware that our sizing up the produce doesn't sit well with you, given that we've already gone through the checkout line together. But our passing glances pose no threat. "It's not that I want to make a move on her," says LaFlamme. "Looking at other women is like a radar that just won't turn off." Secret #2: We actually do play golf to get away from you. More than 21 million American men play at least one round of golf a year; of those, an astounding 75 percent regularly shoot worse than 90 strokes a round. In other words, they stink. The point is this: "Going golfing" is not really about golf. It's about you, the house, the kids -- and the absence thereof. "I certainly don't play because I find it relaxing and enjoyable," admits Roland Buckingham, 32, of Lewes, Delaware, whose usual golf score of 105 is a far-from-soothing figure. "As a matter of fact, sometimes by the fourth hole I wish I were back at the house with the kids screaming. But any time I leave the house and don't invite my wife or kids -- whether it's for golf or bowling or picking up roadkill -- I'm just getting away." Secret #3: We're unnerved by the notion of commitment, even after we've made one to you. This is a dicey one, so first things first: We love you to death. We think you're fantastic. Most of the time we're absolutely thrilled that we've made a lifelong vow of fidelity to you in front of our families, our friends and an expensive videographer. But most of us didn't spend our formative years thinking, "Gosh, I just can't wait to settle down with a nice girl so we can grow old together." Instead we were obsessed with how many women who resembled Britney Spears we could have sex with before we turned 30. Generally it takes us a few years (or decades) to fully perish that thought.

Comment: Secret #4: Earning money makes us feel important. In more than 7.4 million U.S. marriages, the wife earns more than the husband -- almost double the number in 1981. This of course is a terrific development for women in the workplace and warmly embraced by all American men, right? Right? Yeah, well, that's what we tell you. But we're shallow, competitive egomaniacs. You don't think it gets under our skin if our woman's bringing home more bacon than we are -- and frying it up in a pan? "My wife and I are both reporters at the same newspaper," says Jeffrey Newton, 33, of Fayetteville, South Carolina. "Five years into our marriage I still check her pay stub to see how much more an hour I make than she does. And because she works harder, she keeps closing the gap." Secret #5: Though we often protest, we actually enjoy fixing things around the house I risk being shunned at the local bar if this magazine finds its way there, because few charades are as beloved by guys as this one. To hear us talk, the Bataan Death March beats grouting that bathroom shower. And, as 30-year-old Ed Powers of Chicago admits, it's a shameless lie. "In truth, it's rewarding to tinker with and fix something that, without us, would remain broken forever," he says. Plus we get to use tools. "The reason we don't share this information," Powers adds, "is that most women don't differentiate between taking out the trash and fixing that broken hinge; to them, both are tasks we need to get done over the weekend, preferably during the Bears game. But we want the use-your-hands, think-about-the-steps-in-the-process, home-repair opportunity, not the repetitive, no-possibility-of-a-compliment, mind-dulling, purely physical task." There. Secret's out.

Comment: Secret #6: We like it when you mother us, but we're terrified that you'll become your mother. With apologies to Sigmund Freud, Gloria Steinem -- and my mother-in-law. Secret #7: Every year we love you more. Sure, we look like adults. We own a few suits. We can probably order wine without giggling. But although we resemble our father when he was our age, we still feel like that 4-year-old clutching his pant leg. With that much room left on our emotional-growth charts, we sense we've only begun to admire you in the ways we will when we're 40, 50 and -- God forbid -- 60. We can't explain this to you, because it would probably come out sounding like we don't love you now. "It took at least a year before I really started to appreciate my wife for something other than just great sex; and I didn't discover her mind fully until the third year we were married," says Newton. "But the older and wiser I get, the more I love my wife." Adds J.P. Neal, 32, of Potomac, Maryland: "The for-richer-or-poorer, for-better-or-worse aspects of marriage don't hit you right away. It's only during those rare times when we take stock of our life that it starts to sink in." Secret #8: We don't really understand what you're talking about. You know how, during the day, you sometimes think about certain deep, complex "issues" in your relationship? Then when you get home, you want to "discuss" these issues? And during these "discussions," your man sits there nodding and saying things like "Sure, I understand," "That makes perfect sense" and "I'll do better next time"? Well, we don't understand. It doesn't make any sense to us at all. And although we'd like to do better next time, we could only do so if, in fact, we had an idea of what you're talking about. We do care. Just be aware that the part of our brain that processes this stuff is where we store sports trivia.

Comment: Secret #9: We are terrified when you drive Want to know how to reduce your big, tough guy to a quivering mass of fear? Ask him for the car keys. "I am scared to death when she drives," says LaFlamme. "Every time I ride with her, I fully accept that I may die at any moment," says Buckingham.
"My wife has about one 'car panic' story a week -- and it's never her fault. All these horrible things just keep happening -- it must be her bad luck," says Andy Beshuk, 31, of Jefferson City, Missouri. Even if your man is too diplomatic to tell you, he is terrified that you will turn him into a crash-test dummy. Secret #10: We'll always wish we were 25 again. Granted, when I was 25 I was working 16-hour days and eating shrimp-flavored Ramen noodles six times a week. But as much as we love being with you now, we will always look back fondly on the malnourished freedom of our misguided youth. "Springsteen concerts, the '91 Mets, the Clinton presidency -- most guys reminisce about the days when life was good, easy and free of responsibility," says Rob Aronson, 41, of Livingston, New Jersey, who's been married for 11 years. "At 25 you can get away with things you just can't get away with at 40." While it doesn't mean we're leaving you to join a rock band, it does explain why we occasionally come home from Pep Boys with a leather steering-wheel cover and a Born to Run CD. Secret #11: Give us an inch and we'll give you a lifetime. I was on a trip to Mexico, standing on a beach, waxing my surfboard and admiring the glistening 10-foot waves, when I decided to marry the woman who is now my wife. Sure, this was three years before I got around to popping the question. But that was when I knew. Why? Because she'd let me go on vacation alone. Hell, she made me go. This is the most important thing a man never told you: If you let us be dumb guys, if you embrace our stupid poker night, if you encourage us to go surfing -- by ourselves -- our silly little hearts, with their manly warts and all, will embrace you forever for it. And that's the truth.

Comment: Why Black Americans should not disrespect Black leaders -- disgree with? Yes, Call-out? Yes, Disrespect? -NO! Why? It gives other races ammo to disrepect ALL BLACKS period. They are not laughing with you, they are laughing at you.....

Condoleezza Rice depicted in Al Quds as pregnant with a monkey. The image's caption read, "Rice speaks about birth of new Middle East."
JERUSALEM – While U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has been in the Middle East meeting regional alongside Israel's military campaign in Lebanon, media outlets controlled by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party the past few days have been using racist rhetoric in their reports, referring to the American representative as the "black woman," "raven," "colored dark skinned black lady" and "black spinster."
The Palestinian media coverage follows an article last week in which WND reported senior Fatah members staged an anti-American protest outside the main government building in Ramallah while Abbas met with Rice. Most media coverage of last Wednesday's Ramallah protests claimed ralliers were affiliated with Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

Comment: According to a translation by Palestinian Media Watch, the PA daily Al Hayat Al Jadida detailed Wednesday's Ramallah protests in which Rice was described as a "raven" who "brings only destruction."
Al Hayat Al Jadida featured pictures of ralliers brandishing anti-Rice placards, some reading, "Murderer Rice go to Hell" and "Get out." One placard had Rice drinking the blood of dead babies and stating, "I need more blood."
A cartoon last week in the PA controlled Al Quds depicted Rice pregnant with a monkey. A caption read, "Rice speaks about birth of new Middle East."
In a previous article by Al Hayat Al Jadida, Rice is described three times as the "black woman," and her father, who was an ordained Presbyterian minister, was called the "black clergyman [who filled Rice's head with Bible stories]." The article warned, "Beware of this 'black spinster,' we don't want to say 'the black widow' out of respect for her femininity and her intelligence."
A report this weekend by Palestinian Media Watch stated, "In addition to the offending news articles, the PA society is orchestrating demonstrations, children's activities, and hateful visual displays all personally attacking Condoleezza Rice."
WND reported from the scene in Ramallah last week as hundreds of protesters gathered outside a meeting between Abbas and Rice, many chanting, "Down with America," "[Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah hit America," "Fire rockets into Tel Aviv," and "We don't need American money."
Palestinian police clashed with some protesters who tried to shove their way into the government building.
A group of ralliers who said they were affiliated with Fatah told WND they would try to charge Rice when she emerged.
The main protest organizer, who was outside leading the crowd, was Zyad Abu Ein, a senior Fatah official and general manager of the PA's Ministry of Prisoners. Ein is well known to be a close Abbas confidante and is considered one of the most important members in Ramallah of Fatah's Revolutionary Council.
Ein told WND aside from last week's street protests near the Abbas-Rice meeting, he asked Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails to stage what he called a "day of rage" against Rice's visit by not cooperating with prison wardens.

Comment: Good morning Kings & Queens! I miss-ted y'all yesterday:-( Remember I told y'all about my cousin (aunt) that died 3 weeks ago (July 10th)? Well, her b-day was yesterday and we celebrated it by visiting her dialysis clinic, visiting her grave, and going to her favorite restaurant. It was a beautiful day because everyone was in great spirits. We just laughed and joked about her all day because she was quite a character. One thing I neglected to mention was how beautiful the funeral was. I know that sounds weired, but it really was the most beautiful send off that I've ever witnessed in my life. Sure there were people crying, I broke down, my husband among others gave a beautiful eulogy, and of course there were our favorites, the fake folks that want attention. Her sister that always faints at every single funeral while standing at the top of the casket. It's funny cuz my cousin said to her daughter prior to her death that her sister, lets just call her Lisa, always faints at funerals. And I quote, "Lisa is always fainting at funerals with her fake a*ss!" Well, when she fainted, her daughter smiled to herself just remembering what she had said about her. Anyway, if you all would like to read some nice comments about her and see how beautiful she was, you can go to: http://www.laynemortuary.com/ click on "obituaries" then scroll down to Carol Neal dated 7/10/06. My comment was the last comment on 7/28/06. I loved her so much and I really miss her but she's definitely in a better place and I'll see her again in Heaven.

Comment: Smokey, was "Why Black Americans should not disrespect Black leaders" the title of the article or is this what you're saying. I don't think how we feel about our black politicians would change how folk in the middle east see us. Many of our prominent black "leaders" don't deserve my respect.

Comment: Stanley Crouch
Third World Unity? Sorry, It's Just a Dream
http://www.jewishworldreview.com -- THERE is a lot of talk about immigration in New York these days. Because of growing Latin and Asian populations, the ethnic texture of this city -- already so much richer than any other in the nation -- is being modified.
On one level -- that of ongoing vitality -- this is good for the city, just as it is good for the nation. But black Americans needn't be as reverent about immigration as are people of European descent whose presence in this country goes back no more than, say, 150 years. Research shows that black Americans have advanced most when there was little or no immigration. So the Negro should look at this phenomenon both rationally and strategically.
I say this because Afro-Americans in positions of leadership too often succumb to the sentimental dream of Third World unity. The dream, which has evolved over the decades, is that people who are either not white or who come from places outside of Europe will merge to work against the barriers of bigotry.
What happens, however, is that groups that make it economically and socially abandon the Third World for the white world. So long, solidarity. And black people usually end up holding the bag.
Much of this results from confusion in the wake of the civil rights movement and the emergence of excessive identification with foreign nations on the basis of color. Some refer to this as "the black consciousness movement." The problem with this Pan-African concept is that the history of black Americans is quite different from that of the people who were colonized in Africa or the Caribbean. None of those people had the same fundamental impact on their colonizers as did black Americans on this nation's development.

Comment: The forward motion of black people in this land often has to do with coalitions forged with the broad majority of the country. The dream of forging some other alliance has not served black American political interests particularly well.
Take, for example, the way the Third World game played itself out in the affirmative action arena. Affirmative action was originally intended to help blacks compete in the American system after being handicapped by 300 years of slavery and oppression. But it wound up so that anybody who wasn't white could stick out a hand and demand admission to a university -- or a contract or some other benefit. Women got into the affirmative action game, too, and as things have gone, white women have gained more from it than anybody else.
None of this is meant to encourage ethnic hostility or paranoia. What I think is that black leaders should realize that celebrating the long history of black and white Americans together -- while still criticizing that history's faults -- might be the best protection against blacks' getting shoved out of the picture as other ethnic groups grow in size.
Never be so naive as to expect those who have no long history with you to feel responsible to you on the basis of a "common" enemy.

Comment: YLY & MDhornet: I just recently signed up to Eharmony. I got (only) two matches. One closed it out on their end because I didn't have a photo up. I put the photo up. Still no new matches. Sigh.... and this is on top of my friends hooked me up with her husband's co-worker (talked him up really nice) and then he BLASTS my phone for a week before we meet and then we meet and no calls after that. He tells his co-worker's wife that I put myself on a pedestal and that he doesn't know how to deal with me and he's afraid he'll have to pay for everything. What kinda mess!?!? All I'm saying is if he's just not that into me, then say that...but to leave one hanging like that is QUITE COWARDLY. I'm ok...really...(snicker)

Comment: My brother and his wife tried to set me up with someone who after just talking to me on the phone decided I traveled too much and he wouldn't be able to spend enough time with me. Thsi because I was getting ready to take a few trips right around the time we were supposed to go out. This before he ever met me or we even went out. Needless to say, I was not interested after that. If you want to tie me down before we even meet, that's a problem.

Comment: MDHornet: No, not the title, just my thoughts. Most Blacks I know are 'conservatives' at home but 'liberal' in the streets/politically. Why? It just don't make no sense. As if Hillary really cares for AAs, yeah riight! Condi may not be anyone's cup of tea, but she is representin' AAs all over the world. She is intelligent, articulate, well groomed and not shamming us abroad, unlike a host of others 'keeping it real'. N!$$^3S! More AAs give more 'respect' to clowns (rappers, Jessie, etc) aka snake oil salesmen than real heros and the real everyday people who truly uphold the race.

Comment: Smokey I have to agree with your last post. I don't begrudge people their political leanings. I dont expect all blacks to be aligned politically. I hate it when people say if you are black you are automatically a democrat. I consider myself an independent who more than likely votes democratic b/c at this point it seems to be the lesser of two evils.

I SAW DMX ON 106TH AND PARK LAST NIGHT AND HE WAS SO FUNNY. SPOKE HIS MIND AS ALWAYS ABOUT HOW HE'S NOT GETTING THE PUSH FOR HIS NEW ALBUM FROM THE MEDIA AND RADIO STATIONS HERE IN NEW YORK. BUT THAT'S ALRIGHT, HIS FANS SHOWED UP IN FULL FORCE AT B.B.KING'S FOR HIM FRIDAY AND HE DID A PERFORMANCE MONDAY.HE'S THE ONLY RAPPER WHO'S HAD 5 MULTI-PLATINUM ALBUMS, SO I THINK HE SHOULD GET SOME TYPE OF RESPECT. i THINK HIS SINGLE IS #1 ON ONE OF THE CHARTS.SOMETHING ELSE>>ROXANNE, ROXANNE" Kangol, then MARLEY MARL talked a young 13 y.o SHANTAE GOODEN who lived in Queensbridge Houses (she was doing laundry that day)into a rap to the fictional Roxanne. Then KANGOL came back with "The Real Roxanne". SHANTAE responded with RUN, KURTIS, LL. (Sister, mother, aunt...)KRS1 got into the mix SHANTAE attacked him. Then came down on YOYO, QUEEN LATIFA. ICE CUBE, SNOOP, DR.DRE got in on the attacks. There were over 55 response battles. Careers were started and mucho records sold.>>A little history i picked up last night.

I googled natural hair care products for African Americans and found the site. While navigating through the site it was kind of confusing and hard to see some of the products and I noticed a number of grammatical errors. So I'm kind of skeptical. Oh, she sells organic/natural hair & skin products and jewelry. Thanks.

Comment: BigChassie, here's some more info about Yo-Yo: After a six-year hiatus, Grammy-nominated diva of hip hop, Yo-Yo, is returning to her musical roots! She’s back on the music scene and you still can’t play her out!
In case you aren’t familiar with the Los Angeles born lyricist, the Ice Cube protégé first exploded onto the scene in 1991 with her hit single “You Can’t Play With My YoYo” from her debut LP Make Way for the Motherlode. Yo-Yo quickly made a name for herself as one of rap’s fiercest, but most intelligent, female MCs. Her second LP, You Better Ask Somebody, was released in 1993 followed by Total Control in 1996.
Yo-Yo is working on her latest CD, Fearless, due to drop this year, but in the meantime you can hear her on 93.5 KDAY Monday-Friday 10a-2p!!
Get Fly with YoYo
Tired of working out alone?
Feeling uninspired to exercise, but you want to lose weight?
Then Get your workout on with YoYo every Saturday in her workout group. If you would like to join her and receive the workout plan and meals, email YoYo at yoyodiet@gmail.com .

Comment: Probation for woman who sliced son
6-year-old's tongue cut with scissors
A Stockbridge mother accused of cutting a piece of her son's tongue with hot scissors was sentenced Tuesday to 10 years probation after the boy's father testified he didn't want her imprisoned.
"He told the judge she is a good woman, and he doesn't feel his son is unsafe around her," said the woman's lawyer, Rickey L. Richardson.
Henry County prosecutors had recommended Samantha J. Davis, 33, serve five years in prison. Instead, she will spend a 60- to 180-day stay in a detention center before going on probation.
Judge Wade Crumbley also ordered her to finish a 26-week parenting class and a nonviolence class and have only supervised visits with her son.
Henry County police said Davis heated a pair of scissors on the stove in August 2004 and held it to her 6-year-old son's neck before cutting off a piece of his tongue as punishment for talking back.
Her estranged husband, Toby Davis of Decatur, reported the injuries to police and she was arrested. The child has been in his father's custody since then.
Davis pleaded guilty in June to two child cruelty charges.
But the state's case was hampered when Toby Davis filed court papers refusing to cooperate with the prosecution and asking that charges
be dropped. The boy also signed an affidavit saying he did not want his mother prosecuted.
Henry District Attorney Tommy Floyd said he didn't know if the father's refusal affected the sentence.
"The judge didn't say, 'This is why I'm doing what I'm doing.' I know the father was very reluctant to prosecute and we feel he influenced the child," Floyd said. "We had to take extreme measures to even get them into court today."
Crumbley did not return a phone call seeking comment. Toby Davis said by phone Tuesday he had no additional comment. Samantha Davis could not be reached.
"She's relieved," Richardson said. "She was hoping for straight probation but at least it isn't the five years in prison the state wanted."
Davis will not serve her sentence as a first offender, which would have allowed her to have no criminal record on file if she successfully completed probation.
As Davis gets further along in her sentence, Richardson said, he will petition the court to amend those restrictions.
