Comment: Morning J. I have been up since 2am

Comment: Good morning JFrom and Juice! Everyone, please have a safe and blessed hump day.

Comment: Hey NYeng. You are up early. I am watching the Real Family of Jesus on Investigation Discovery channel. Moesha comes on in 7 minutes. I think I will get up and do a little work in my closet.

Comment: Well isn’t this peculiar. ATL Housewife NeNe Leaks has been evicted from her “lavish home” in a gated Sugerloaf community in Atlanta. Apparently the home she and her Greg and her sons were living in on the Bravo “Real Housewives of Atlanta” show was being rented. And they owe over $6,400 in back rent. Interesting since these chicks from the show were talking big and bad about balling out of control. But we all knew some folks were frontin’ for the cameras. According to the AJC, here’s NeNe’s response when asked where she’s been living since she was evicted in September: NeNe Leakes, in a series of e-mails Tuesday, would not say where she is living now. “It’s none of your business,” she wrote. But she noted that they “are financial able [sic] and stable to live where ever we feel fits.” She also says “people don’t really know her relationship with Greg”. Um, what? So they’re possibly not married either? WTF is really hood with the poserificness in the ATL? And we also reported several months ago that a birdie told us many folks on the show were frontin’ and rentin’. We hear Sheree was put out of her house as well. No clothes for her fashion line to go along with her no house having self. Womp! Womp womp! And NeNe isn’t the only Housewife on the show frontin’ and rentin’. But you haven’t heard that from me….

Comment: Lovely this is for you.....According to one of my favorite message boards, the reason why Detroit Piston Allen Iverson missed practice with his new team last week may have had something to do with Flavor of Love hottie Deelishis. There have been several sightings of A.I. at the Detroit MGM Grand Casino, as well as at All Stars strip joint on 8 mile, but the night before he missed practice snitches claim A.I., Deelsishis and two of her girls were all over each other at the black jack tables in the high rollers section of the MGM and then slipped off for a foursome

Comment: bullshit, bullfuck

Name: NYengineer74
Comment: Juice: My work day normally begins 5:30 - 6:00am but I couldn't really sleep last night thinking about an argument I had with my lady. We are in the beginning stages of something that I believe will be a wonderful relationship but you know how people say things or act a certain way other than what was seen the first time you met; that is where we are at right now. I don't want my NY attitude to run her off so I am just thinking of ways to make it up to her.

Name: LawdHvMrcy
Comment: JB, you stoopid! I've always wondered why we could Type BigChassie, which includes A.S.S., but we can't type other words with A.S.S. in it like A.S.S.ume.

Name: Juicebox
Comment: NY you will get past this. Having dated an east coaster before there is a bit of a culture shock. We southern belles are not used to that ny swagger. It can be overwhelming and misconstrued. Just ask her to bear with you and both of you will adapt

Name: LawdHvMrcy
Comment: NYE-- AWWW! That's so sweet that you give a dayum about first impressions enough to want to stick around! However, just be yourself. If you have to change who you are (especially 1-2 weeks into getting to know a person), that is not a good sign! Either way, just talk to the young lady so that yall can work it out. I wish you well!!!!!

Name: LawdHvMrcy
Comment: And if talking it out doesn't work, just flex your muscles and she will be OK! LOL RANDOMNESS Speaking of 'When First Impression Goes Wrong', my mom (who is 67) has a new special friend (who is about 72). Well, this guy was actually her first love, but when he went off to the military my momma met my daddy and married him instead. Well, they were able to reconnect and have been 'courting' for a couple of months. WHYCOME this fool called my house yesterday and when I said, "May I ask whose calling" he replied, "This is the man who shouldda been your daddy!" *faints* Was I wrong in thinking this was hella inappropriate--especially since is the first time he's ever said anything to me? Anyway, I just logged on real quick to check in my mom for her flight this morning. We actually had a good time, altho that was some ole BULLSHIT with her special friend. OK, yall have a good day today!!!!

Name: JFromMO
Comment: LH - Even though I'm LMAO (cos it didn't happen to me no doubt), yes, that was hella inappropriate. You knwo old folks say what they want. What was your response to him? Did you mention it to your mother?

Comment: I am watching yesterday's episode of Young and the Restless and I just have to say that I love Jack Abbott. The look on Jill's face was absolutely priceless.

Comment: I have deduced that if you put 'bull' in front of curse words it is a force field against the censors.

Name: CRENEEJ
Comment: juice, u r stoopid. LHM, i woulda felt the same way, but that was said to my son before, and NYE, i cosign w/ LHM. if you have to guard who you are this early, you'll be guarding through the whole relationship, and eventually you'll get tired of doing that. at this point, have a conversation about it. people say stuff they don't mean or maybe things they do mean, but the wrong way *raising hand* all the time. bullfuck

Name: CRENEEJ
Comment: oh, bullshit, it worked...hahaha thanks JAV... now i can curse when i really want to so which bullmutherfucker @ my job is gonna catch it today?

Comment: CREE/Cree...breathe girl breathe!!! Language Language. Just in case I have told any y'all in awhile: LOVE YA!! * and she's out*

Name: Lovely
Comment: Bullshit! Deelishis can not have my man, she kissed Flavor Flav for Christ's sake!! My man's dad said he saw him at a strip club in Denver a few months ago so that MTO article may not be too far off base. That bullbitch with the big keloids needs to keep her paws off him, he's married!

Name: CRENEEJ
Comment: When we pray to God and ask for something, often we are asking him to answer it a specific way within a specific time frame. And that is an easy way to become frustrated with God. You can feel like he’s not paying attention and not listening to you. But really we’re the ones not paying attention. Just because God doesn’t answer a prayer the way we want, when we want him to, doesn’t mean that he didn’t answer the prayer. He always answers. Sometimes we don’t see it because we are busy looking for something different. When we are thirsty, we might be looking for a glass of water, but miss that God has given us the rain. Sometimes answers to prayer come in ways we wouldn’t have imagined. Watch for God to answer prayers in unexpected ways, and try to notice when He does. Isaiah 65:24 I will answer them before they even call to me While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!

Comment: Good morning, fam. JB you got me laughing early this morning. LHM, that would have made me *slap him upside the head* LOL NYE just do you.

Comment: one more Bible passage.... Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; then stick to the path and stay safe. Don't get sidetracked. Proverbs 4:25-27 Scripture maps out for us how we should walk--straight ahead with no sidetracks. Plan your course ahead of time and stick to it.

Name: Penelope
Comment: Hey everybody! Good Wednesday morning. I see some of yall still testing the censors. NYEngineer...I try not to give advice, but I will say, be careful about getting into the habit of 'making it up to her.' I'm not saying you shouldn't go out of your way to show how special she is to you, but Don't get into a pattern of behavior like that. I some apologizing needs to be done, well then by all means, get your hat in your hand and do what you need to do. But, don't get into a thing where everytime something happens, there needs to be candlelight and velvet boxes so to speak. I will suggest you process whatever happened, and think about what you would have done differently, and act on that.

Name: Lovely
Comment: NY - don't change who you are. That is, of course, unless you're being a "stereotypical" New Yorker -- gruff, rude, cold, impatient, etc. That's not acceptable in any part of the world EXCEPT new york. Just teasing, I'm sure you're not any of those things. ;)

Name: NYengineer74
Comment: Ladies, I am not going to change because there is both the gentleman and thug in me but i've been a gentleman with her b/c she deserves to be treated like a lady; however, the li'l thug came out for a minute yesterday and i think she was a li'l turned off but i know what i have to do as beyourself stated: i will just be myself but turn it down a notch so that she can see the real me and not be afraid. I know relationships are about compromise. have a lovely day, ladies. i have to get back to work.

Name: Lovely
Comment: Oh, one more thing... why was I halfway sleeping on the couch last night and my man musta thought I was all the way sleep because he was standing in the kitchen "running" on his crutches when Chris Brown's "Run It" came on the radio. He had both legs off the ground and was 'running' in the air. I didn't say anything and then the boy tried to crip walk on his crutches!!! Obviously he's not as hurt as he's made it seem!!

Name: Disillusioned_Jones
Comment: Pen, I see. You coulda been a leg model...

Name: beyourself
Comment: If it is true, A.I. better be careful. I bet $50.00, a mistletoe, and two gas cards, that he fell in there and got lost. She probably been with 100 + men.

Name: Disillusioned_Jones
Comment: Be, 100+? That's all? I see your off to a conservative start this morning...

Name: Penelope
Comment: DJ...I think I could! A part of my workout routine now is a mini-trampoline, and some CLA supplements for weight loss. Yeah baby, its working. 30 mins on the minitramp to Beyonce's Single Ladies, Avril and Lil Momma's Girlfriend, I have dropped a dress size. Oh yes. Oh yes, Oh yes.

Name: beyourself
Comment: Go Pen, go Pen, go Pen. Um, DJ, maybe I should change that number to 500+.

Name: yelleyw
Comment: Morning Fam! Lovely>> Did you see Bey perform last night on the World Music Awards. She cracks me up cause she dances so hard. One day she's gonna break her neck. Where my Bad Girls Club fans at? The new season started last night. Its a mess already.

Name: Disillusioned_Jones
Comment: Be, you went from far right and now your starting to move to the middle but you're still off...throw a few hundred more and we might meet goal. I wouldn't go over a thousand, though. That's a tad bit left. Either way, she look ran through...kinda rancid. >Pen, a mini trampoline? My dad was telling me about that. I've been told by my doctor to slow down on my running and start using the elliptical and bike. I'm going to look into this minitramp and see if it can give me some good cardio...

Name: letmein
Comment: Morning fam! I'm so mad, sad and bullpissed today. I found out last night that my son bullpissed in my laundry room. I wore his bullass out. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is wrong with him? I wanna leave work and go to his school and whoop him again. I told him he could forget Christmas. We DO NOT live like animals!

Name: Disillusioned_Jones
Comment: Aight, first meeting of the day...I'll get up with y'all shortly...

Name: Lovely
Comment: letmein, what was his excuse for bullpissing in the laundry room? could he not make it to the restroom? was it an experiment? was he trying to kill a spider? YELLEY, i missed it, we rented Hancock (which was surprisingly good) and we were watching college basketball. PEN, I will not entertain the thoughts of my AI falling into Deelishis' dark hole! And yeah, my man was funny... he's so helpless when I'm paying attention but when he thinks I'm sleep, he's a damn dancing machine!

Name: letmein
Comment: Lovely....for real I wasn't trying to hear an excuse especially since he tried to lie about it. Now I'm not speaking to hubby because he made the comment 'damn he could have at least used the drain'. WTF is wrong with him? This cannot be a 'man' thing. That's just bullfucking trife!!!!

Name: JFromMO
Comment: Lovely that's funny.

Name: Penelope
Comment: DJ, the minitramp is the bizness! Talk about upping your cardio! Whew. I tivo shows during the week, and watch them when I exercise. It is really fun, and a good workout that is not too stressful on the body.

Name: Disillusioned_Jones
Comment: Yesterday we mentioned how Plaxico was a weird name...well, I have another one. What the hell exactly is a Saxby? I mean, that isn't short for another name is it? Yesterday Charli said Plaxico sounded like some sort of ED medication but Saxby sounds like some type of laxative...to me.

Name: letmein
Comment: Pen...which one? The older idiot or the younger idiot. LOL!!! My son is 11 old enough to know bullfucking better. I think he was just being lazy all caught up in that damn game or computer. All that shat has been unhooked, TV too.

Name: asize12
Comment: *crackin' up* Y'all so stupid:-) All-a youz. >lawdhv, I sho' hate that man had the gall to say "I shoulda been yo pappy, WTH???" Whatcho momma say? I woulda passed out! That's bold as a mofo and EXTREMEMLY inappropriate, I'on give a damn how old you are. All of those years of manors & kindness shouldn't just 'go out the window' just cuz you're a Sr. citizen! Who the hell made that rule anyhow? And y'all just killin' me w/ the censors! Unfortunately lovely's didn't work...umm, EUR, handle dat...

Name: Penelope
Comment: I got it at Dicks Sporting Goods. It was $39.00. They had a different one that hand a support bar that was $79.00 I think...I just remember thinking that was too much just to pay for that extra piece...but I think just about any sporting goods store, including Walmart, should have them. In my workouts, I just ankle and hand weights too. It is a serious cardio workout!!!!

Name: Disillusioned_Jones
Comment: So it's true...one can post cuss words so long as the word "bull" precedes it...Wow! Looks like we have some hackers up in here! Now go solve the DaVinci Code!

Name: asize12

Name: Penelope
Comment: Oh my, Letmein, yeah, 11 is a bit too big for that! I would have worn his arse out too!

Name: Disillusioned_Jones
Comment: Pen, aight...I'm a find out. I have a treadmill the size of a Honda Accord in my garage. It's state of the art but takes up so much room. I think if I can get some cardio out of this minitrampoline then I might do like you and watch some TV while using it. Good look, Pen!

Name: asize12
Comment: ...letmein, don't feel bad about your 11 y/o...my 12 y/o decided that his 'eddie' was growing outta control so he decided to give himself a lining and now he looks like Mr. Jefferson. That is all...

Name: Penelope
Comment: Sorry DJ...typing too fast...I was trying to say that I jump while wearing ankle weights and handweights. i really good move is the waist twist, where you twist the torso mid air. Great for the obliques.

Name: CRENEEJ
Comment: PEN, what do you do on the trampoline. do you run in place, i wanted one too, but i wasn't sure what to do on it.

Name: CRENEEJ
Comment: ok PEN, i was just joking on the which bullmotherlover part....

Name: Juicebox
Comment: DJ I am not so sure if I dont believe some of the Davinci Code claims.

Name: Penelope
Comment: DJ, an added benefit for me is I feel like a kid when I jump, so I'm sure the endorphines are just off the chart...I get so giddy when I'm doing it.

Name: JFromMO
Comment: I need yalls help. I'm going on vacation the first of the year. Of all places I chose Europe. In the winter. *sigh* Anyway, I need some really comfortable shoes that I can walk around in for hours that are still really cute and will go with almost anything. I don't want my luggage weighted down with shoes. Any suggestions?

Name: Disillusioned_Jones
Comment: Pen, I used to do speedwork with a skiprope before I got my treadmill. But the way you are describing the different moves on this tramp it's sounding like a winner. Cardio AND obliques at the same time? Oh, hell yeahs...

Name: Penelope
Comment: Creen...I jump, I jump and twist, I walk over it. Its just fund. There are all kinds of exercises outlined on the web for it. But, it works for me, bc the stress to my body is minimal, but it really gets the heart racing.

Comment: Good morning. LOL @ Lawdhv. I would have taken it as a joke but I can see why it would be inappropriate to you are someone else.

Comment: Dayum but it's live up in here for it only being 9:36 ET. Jeez. Lil boys peeing in laundry rooms, bold nasty old men. I got one better than that for ya though. I dated this dude 4 years ago and he had on a T-shirt that said "You are what you eat". Okay, why did his dad look at him and say, "Hi(my name)". I think I threw up a little in my mouth. For this nasty, wrinkled up dirty old man to even be thinking about his son going down on me - Ew. I think that was the final deal breaker for me. We were actually considering marriage but having that man as my in-law and his mean azzed mother and the fact that the family was addicted to karaoke. Nope. Couldn't do it.

Name: Disillusioned_Jones
Comment: J, what part of Europe you going to mind I ask? And as far as shoes that are comfortable...I recommend some Bjorn's or Birks...I onced scaled Mount Vesuvius in a pair of Bjorn ankle boots. They aren't exactly "cute" but my feet thanked me when I was done with the tour.

Name: Penelope
Comment: As far as the minitramp, just buy it and have fun with it. Try to jump for about 45 mins...it will wear you out at first, but it is serious cardio... My drawback is that I have to hold down my girls, but DJ, I'm sure that is not an issue for you.

Comment: Well, after I get out of this training that I'm getting ready to go into in a couple of minutes I'm going to google this mini-tramp and look about getting my hands on one.

Name: Penelope
Comment: Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a toning supplement to support weight loss goals. I use the Puritan's Pride brand. My husband (a fitness king) bought it after he read that most folks lost weight with minimal exercise while taking the CLA. I have hypothyroidism, and it is a safe supplement for me. AS ALWAYS, check with your doctor and all that other stuff...but I have to admit, I have noticed more room in my clothes.

Name: javone77
Comment: Pene: do you have to get it at like health food stores or do you order it online?

Name: Penelope
Comment: One of the reasons I put off my foot surgery is that I want to drop some weight because I won't be able to exercise for 3 months at least when I have it. So, I have committed to being fit for life and doing all I can do on my own. I have always been like a size 2, but a while back I started adding weight and nothing seemed to work. Now I am on HRT and CLA, and feel pretty good. The exercise really helps fight the winter funk too. Its hard for me to go to a gym when there is snow outside! So the minitramp has become my new friend.

I was just staring at him yesterday like I always do, you know, givin' him the 'momma needs to make sure that ain't no dirt on you' look...so I looks at his lil' fro and I said, "Boy, what you don' did to yo head?!?"

Name: Lovely
Comment: flytetime - my suggestion is that you throw it away. Folks can only stand turkey for so long. My man's grandma made turkey tetrazinni (sp?) with her stuff. Personally I think that stuff looks and smells like slimy alien vomit but my man loves it. I let him funk up his house with it but not mine.

Take a sour dough bun, lightly butter (or EVOO) the inside...on one side, put some turkey, then some cheese then some cranbery sauce...stick under you broiler for a couple of mins (with a watchful eye.) Remove, close bun, slice in half and serve with some chips and/or soup.

Comment: Lovely, I thought about throwing it away but as hard as times are now, I just couldn't do it. I also thought about freezing it, but for what??? We don't normally eat turkey any other day except Thanksgiving and Christmas. I just threw some away from last year and thought, I'm not keeping this in the freezer for another whole year...

Comment: DJones - I'm going to Budapest and Vienna. I really wanted to go to Prague, too but we will only be there for eight days. I've tried Borns and they don't really work for me. I will never buy Birkenstocks. They are way too hard. My feets iz sensitive. I was thinking about buying some Danskos. Anyone ever worn those? They have an awesome rep, but I also have an issue because I have narrow feet. Why the heyell didn't anyone remind me how cold it will be in January? Actually, my brother mentioned it when we went to Italy earlier this year, but it was not bad. I should have gone to Australia. It's summer there.

Comment: >yelloyw - The funniest thing I ever saw - I was at Home Depot a few years ago and I walked past a toilet display. As I walked by, a lil white boy, maybe about 4, who had to go dropped his drawers, jumped up on the pot and started tinkling. His father looked around at him and tried to grab him up off the pot and I was crying, ya hear, CRYING - tears rolling down my face, bent over kinda laughing. I laughed my way all the way through the store off that!

Comment: What is it about boys and peeing anywhere? My 3 yr old loves peeing anywhere but in the toilet. The first thing he does when he gets in the tub is pee. Now he finds it funny to hold his pee til he can't anymore then run to the bathroom and do a little dance to hold his pee. Then he laughs b/c he barely made it to the bathroom. I disinfect my bathroom every 2 days b/c when he does this pee gets on the back of the toilet making my bathroom smell pissy. I hate for my bathroom to smell like a bathroom.

Comment: Hotshots are like an open face sandwich. Its not my thing, but you start with bread, put meat on top, then mashed potatoe and gravy on top of that...Its not my thing, but it can be done with just about any type of meat...even barbeque...On your pot pie, use fresh veggies and a good rue

Name: Lovely
Comment: what is a rue?

Name: flytetime
Comment: bey, what kind of "bomb" bbq sauce did you use? store bought or something you made?

Name: Penelope
Comment: Rue...um the base for a particular dish. For me, rue for any particular dish is thicker, and say I'm making beef stew, i make a rue with broth, cream of mushroom soup, some simmered onions and celery and lipton onion soup mix. I simmer that then add the stew stuff to it.

Name: Penelope
Comment: As far as the cream of mushroom soup, I'm sure you can use something else...for that matter, use extra broth with a little flour or cornstarch to thicken it up. Cream of muschroom is a great base for many dishes...and the campbells brand has really tiny pieces of mushroom.

My hubby spoils the mess out of me & I love it. I am lacking nothing. Letmein LOL… Boy’s are nasty.

Comment: flytetime - I'm all for his golf, basketball, racquetball, softball, football. I figure it's either that or strip clubs, bars & hanging out doing nothing. I enjoy my "me" time when he's out doing that stuff and I go and watch him & support when necessary.

Name: queeniebunz
Comment: >NYEng - I thought about what you wrote and your situation reminded me of men I've dated in the past. Once we got to about 3 months, dude would stop being on his best behavior and his "real self" would come out and I'd be like, "Who the f--- are you!!??Bring me back the guy who called and sent flowers and did everything a woman wants cuz I don't even know who you are"...and that's why I had quite a few "3-monthers" because when the mask came off, my beautiful handsome, black king turned into Shrek. I hope you aren't like that. OR like a lot of people who think that they can say anything to the people they love/care about, meaning that you are nicer to strangers/acquaintances/co-workers than you are to your family/significant other. I'm not saying that is you but what you said just reminds me of that. Me and my dad had a conversation about this last week. My dad told me that he always thought you could "be yourself" with your family meaning you could verbally rip them to pieces and they'd still have to love you because you're family. He told me it took him a long time to realize that you can't treat ANYBODY including family like that if you want to have people around you. Again, I'm not saying that this is you, just that what you said made me think of my conversation w/my dad...

Comment: Ark, he has DEFINITELY adjusted!! Sounds like highschool, not preschool!! FLYTETIME, my man isn't obsessive about it but he has a basic schedule for each sport and if there's something that i need or want to do, he'll cancel or rearrange his plans to make sure I'm a happy camper. It doesn't bother our schedule at all... in the summer though, he plays golf about 4 times per week and the other 3 days, he goes to hit balls. I always have stuff going on too so we normally meet up once the sun starts to go down ;-)

"What're you doing?"..."Watching the Miam Midgets."...but it still sucks that he watches sports so d*mned much.

Comment: >javonne - I think that's evolution to not discuss sex past a certain age. When I was in my 20s, we told EVERYTHING - kinda Sex and the City-ish. But as a 30+ woman, I don't talk about it at all. It's a maturity thing to me but that's just me.

Name: Lovely
Comment: Be - very funny! queenie - i enjoy watching sports, i'm just not good at playing them. i go play basketball with him sometimes but i suck. i was on a coed softball team once but that was just because my cousin's FINE friend was on the team and I wanted to have an excuse to wear short shorts and bend over in front of him (I was young, don't judge). Me and my man have a lot of the same interests but I need a lot of time to myself and with my girls or I won't act right.

Name: javone77
Comment: Queenie: I understand that. but then again I have always acted older than my age...my nickname in high school was "granny" LOL I guess that's why I missed out on a lot of stuff. I never talked about sex, even in my 20's but I've had the same friends since I was 14 :)

Comment: Mornin' to all yall' ((((cyberhugs)))) to my sista-daughter12' GLAD TO SEE' U BACK BABYGURL'!!!! I've been prayin' for you!!!! and now your bread' for today.....Expectations! We all have them. We expect that people will be nice to us, that we’ll have good health, great marriages, faithful friends, successful careers. But what do we do when life doesn’t live up to our expectations? In Philippians 1, Paul shows us the way. He faced broken expectations of place, people, and the future, yet he remained surprisingly upbeat. Paul was stuck in prison—not a great place to be! When we get stuck in a tough marriage, an unrewarding job, or a challenging neighborhood, it’s easy to get discouraged. But Paul was wonderfully positive. He said that his suffering helped to advance the gospel (Phil. 1:12). Maybe people haven’t lived up to our expectations. Paul likely expected other believers to encourage him. Instead, some were actually glad he was in jail and were preaching out of “envy and strife” (v.15). Paul’s response? “Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice” (v.18).

Name: Lovely
Comment: queenie - i agree. me and my friends don't discuss every detail anymore. we have this saying "yuk puke" if someone starts to tell too much. Ya'll the only one's that know i use my entire house and every surface for spooging!! ;-)

Name: CaliRedbone
Comment: Maybe it’s an uncertain future—the loss of a spouse, a job transfer, or a health crisis. Paul knew that at any moment Nero might give the order for his execution, yet he declared, “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (v.21). Adopt Paul’s only expectation—for Christ to be honored no matter what! — Joe Stowell In all I think and say and do, I long, O God, to honor You; But may my highest motive be To love the Christ who died for me. —D. De Haan * You can expect to enjoy God’s presence when you honor Him with your life.

Comment: >rayne & nuby, I too watched Unsung, The Donny Hathaway story and I was blown away by his musical genious. I learned so much about him. I had no idea that he lived in St. Louis or that his funeral was here. I didn't know that he had 3 kids, thought he only had Lalah (who looks EXACTLY like her mother btw). I kept looking for Roberta Flack to say a few words but was surprised that she didn't have any words to say. She's probably still devistated even though it happened 30 years ago. The man was/is timeless and his music will forever live on. My absolute fav, "Someday We'll All Be Free". That song makes me cry everytime I hear it. I heard it the night Obama won as they played it in the background while showing pics of Obama throughout as well as some civil rights movements from that era and I just LOST IT! Wow...we as a people have been through so much and we've come so far...It's amazing what God can do...

Don't get me wrong, she played okay, but she was a bit flustered. I'd like to say lets just chalk it up to the '1st game jitters' but I'll have to see how the next game goes...She was boo-hooing all the way home...Poor baby...>jav, whatchu talkin' 'bout willis?

Comment: Ame, I hear what you're saying but I think it all boils down to self analyzing. I think its dangerous to switch up just to make somebody happy. I think you should look at yourself and switch up because you want to become a better person. None of us are perfect. Some people are just ultra sensitive and the slightest flaw turns them off. If you make every effort to make yourself a better person everyday then it's all good. Real recognize real. And if she's real she will know in her heart that dude is flawed but trying. And if she don't? Well, that's for my man to decide if he wants to hang around. But I say like me, love me or leave me the FU*K ALONE!!!

Comment: Thank you Ame...I hope you feel better...a cold is floating around here too. I feel 'coldish'...you know likes its coming on but hasn't taken hold yet. I have been eating clementines and assorted fruit to fight it off, b/c I think if I get it I will have to take to my bed. But on the other subject, as I age, i am learning that I can only control me. And I have to always make the decision of being a better person. You know? I mean, sometimes it would be so easy to just let it all out, but when you think of what it gets you in the end, it comes up short. Taking the higher road and being the better peson can serve us well. Like happiness, it is a chouce.

I also believe that you should treat others as you want to be treated so whether it is family/friends or strangers to me, I follow that rule b/c karma is a mofo. I am a good man and in the end, I don't want the person I am involved with to be afraid of me if a li'l thug comes out of me. I thought women appreciated "intelligent thugs". You get the best of both worlds right here, there is nothing better than that (LOL). I hope that clears up the "assumptions" you have presented.

Comment: Actually, according to the TVOne website, Episodes 101 and 103 are coming on Thursday night at 10PM, and then Episodes 102 and 104 are coming on Friday night at 10. Episode 102 is coming on tonight at 10. Episode 104 came on last night, so that's apparently the Donny Hathaway story. Here it is: http://www.soulmusic.com/phhyuhedo.html Phyllis Hyman was Sunday, Clark Sisters were Monday, Donny Hathaway was last night, Debarge is tonight. So they're showing Phyllis Hyman and the Clark Sisters tomorrow night (Thursday, 4 December) at 10 back-to-back and then Debarge and Donny Hathaway back-to-back Friday night at 10.

Comment: javone - Your post caught my attention. Do your SINGLE friends not talk about sex? Why is it taboo? My married friends don't put their bizness in the street, but there are references and comments from time to time. My single friends and I don't talk about spooging regularly, but it comes up sometimes. Although I'm fighting hard to stay celibate, I acknowledge that sex is a wonderful thang. When I get married brotha-man and I both will be taking vitamins and trying out the things I've learned on the F4A!!

Comment: When Are WE Going to Get Over It? For much of the last forty years, ever since America "fixed" its race problem in the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, we white people have been impatient with African Americans who continued to blame race for their difficulties. Often we have heard whites ask, "When are African Americans finally going to get over it? Now I want to ask "When are we White Americans going to get over our ridiculous obsession with skin color? Recent reports that "Election Spurs 'Hundreds' of Race Threats, Crimes" should frighten and infuriate every one of us. Having grown up in "Bombingham," Alabama in the 1960s, I remember overhearing an avalanche of comments about what many white classmates and their parents wanted to do to John and Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King. Eventually, as you may recall, in all three cases, someone decided to do more than "talk the talk." Since our recent presidential election, to our eternal shame we are once again hearing the same reprehensible talk I remember from my boyhood. We white people have controlled political life in the disunited colonies and United States for some 400 years on this continent. Conservative whites have been in power 28 of the last 40 years. Even during the eight Clinton years, conservatives in Congress blocked most of his agenda and pulled him to the right. Yet never in that period did I read any headlines suggesting that anyone was calling for the %*$assinations of presidents Nixon, Ford, Reagan, or either of the Bushes. Criticize them, yes. Call for their impeachment, perhaps. But there were no bounties on their heads. And even when someone did try to kill Ronald Reagan, the perpetrator was non-political mental case who wanted merely to impress Jody Foster.

Name: lilmocc
Comment: But elect a liberal who happens to be black and we're back in the sixties again. At this point in our history, we should be proud that we've proven what conservatives are always saying-that in America anything is possible, EVEN electing a black man as president. But instead we now hear that schoolchildren from Maine to California are talking about wanting to "%*$assinate Obama." Fighting the urge to throw up, I can only ask, "How long?" How long before we white people realize we can't make our nation, much less the whole world, look like us? How long until we white people can-once and for all-get over this hell-conceived preoccupation with skin color? How long until we white people get over the demonic conviction that white skin makes us superior? How long before we white people get over our bitter resentments about being demoted to the status of equality with non-whites? How long before we get over our expectations that we should be at the head of the line merely because of our white skin? How long until we white people end our silence and call out our peers when they share the latest racist jokes in the privacy of our white-only conversations? I believe in free speech, but how long until we white people start making racist loudmouths as socially uncomfortable as we do flag burners? How long until we white people will stop insisting that blacks exercise personal responsibility, build strong families, educate themselves enough to edit the Harvard Law Review, and work hard enough to become President of the United States , only to threaten to %*$assinate them when they do? How long before we starting "living out the true meaning" of our creeds, both civil and religious, that all men and women are created equal and that "red and yellow, black and white" all are precious in God's sight?

Comment: Until this past November 4, I didn't believe this country would ever elect an African American to the presidency. I still don't believe I'll live long enough to see us white people get over our racism problem. But here's my three-point plan: First, everyday that Barack Obama lives in the White House that Black Slaves Built I'm going to pray that God (and the Secret Service) will protect him and his family from us white people. Second, I'm going to report to the FBI any white person I overhear saying, in seriousness or in jest, anything of a threatening nature about President Obama. Third, I'm going to pray to live long enough to see America surprise the world once again, when white people can "in spirit and in truth" sing of our damnable color prejudice, "We HAVE overcome."

His wife said that he was okay when he was taking his meds, but he went on spells when he wasn't taking it at all and that's when he'd have these 'delusions'. One guy that worked w/ him said that one day he was just staring at the snow on the tv in amazement and he was just mesmerized by it. Another guy said that the night before he committed suicide, he stopped in the middle of the recording session, ran to the corner covering his head, stooped down in the corner and was screaming telling the guy that 'they're tryna kill me!' The guy said "Who's tryna kill you Donny?" He said, "The white people...they're tryna steal my music & my style outta my head." That's sad...

Comment: DJ: where do you live?

Name: CaliRedbone
Comment: Javonne'.... this is for you.... Living a full and overflowing life does not rest in bodily health, in circumstances, nor even in seeing God’s work succeed, but in the perfect understanding of God, and in the same fellowship and oneness with Him that Jesus Himself enjoyed. But the first thing that will hinder this joy is the subtle irritability caused by giving too much thought to our circumstances. Jesus said, ". . . the cares of this world, . . . choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful" ( Mark 4:19 ). And before we even realize what has happened, we are caught up in our cares. All that God has done for us is merely the threshold— He wants us to come to the place where we will be His witnesses and proclaim who Jesus is. Have the right relationship with God, finding your joy there, and out of you "will flow rivers of living water" ( John 7:38 ). Be a fountain through which Jesus can pour His "living water." Stop being hypocritical and proud, aware only of yourself, and live "your life . . . hidden with Christ in God" (Colossians 3:3 ). A person who has the right relationship with God lives a life as natural as breathing wherever he goes. The lives that have been the greatest blessing to you are the lives of those people who themselves were unaware of having been a blessing.

Comment: >NYEng - You do know I said several times that I wasn't saying that was you, just that what you said was reminiscent of my convo w/my pops. Aside from that, well, this whole "intelligent thug" thing. Nah. I just want the intelligent part, I guess. I want an intelligent STRONG black man - a man strong enough to protect me in a bad situation (criminal act/robbery/etc.) yet also strong enough to share his feelings with me and not think he's a punk for doing so. If you are confusing "strong" with "thug" then we are on the same page but I don't think good things at all when I think "thug". I think crime / misogyny / ignorance when I think thug. At 36, I don't want any of that. Sh*t, at 26 I didn't want any of that or even at 16. In high school I had a crush on a total geek! LOL. I've always liked intelligent men. So in saying all of that, I guess I need a fuller understanding of what "thug" means to you. And as someone else said, I'd love to know what the h*ll you said to your woman! LOL

Comment: Javone - I can't post details on the board 'cause my mama be on here. I will say that one should only have sex with someone who she is attracted to and turns her on. I've never been a casual sex participant so I can't speak on that. When there are real feelings of love, respect and adoration to go along with the physical attraction sexual experiences are much better. Everyone has a right to choose when and with whom they have sex; don't sleep with somebody just because he/she pressures you or your friends encourage you. I've been teased about not being sexually active but I'm comfortable enough with me and my spirit to do what feels right for me.

Comment: Yelleyw: I plead the 5th BeYourself: just for you: the art of erotic oral sex. haven't seen this on the board in awhile, you'll need this: Well first off i love to flirt and tease big time. Now getting into your mates head is a big key. And start out SLOW. I start with teasing kisses on the neck making my way around the body and laying her down letting her think I am going for the bullseye. Instead I love to start kissing them inner thighs. Soft kisses sucks here and there. i like to blow the cl** not hard but soft warm air letting her know i will get there in time. I like going from thigh to thigh. as i pass over her pink I suck the cat lips wink. One to the Other then kiss them. Then make my way on over to the other thigh. And continue doing the same things I did over >>>>> there. Oh I love watching those pleasures signs. They let me know the deal winking Then when I lick the kitty I love to keep it slow I am in no rush. I love lciking and licking then a little flickering on my tongue on her cl**. Just to remind her of my quest. i love tongue fugging her every now and then. lisking and sucking the cl** and fugging her till i get her to scream out. And when i enter her i love to every now and then stop and pull out and start licking again.

You shouldn't try to change yourself to please someone else. Always be you. However, like DJ said we should as-sess ourselves for ways to become a better person, son/daughter, sibling, friend, partner, etc. I'm not perfect and I've used some of the feedback I've gotten from friends and ex-boyfriends to change some things that improved me and made me more likable or tolerable. If several people who care about you tell you the same thing, perhaps it's truth.

Comment: javone - When you look back, were there any signs? How did you feel in your spirit? What were his friends and family like? How did they treat you? Most people have made some bad decisions in selecting partners. We can't let it haunt us. We learn the lesson, shake the dust off, and keep it moving. But my sister, please, DON'T EVER FAKE IT!!! Girl, don't sell yourself short; make sure you get what you came to get, or don't go at all! I dated a guy for almost five months. Things were going great, then one day his wife called. She was thoughtful enough (LOL) to let me know that he had been lying about being divorced, they were only separated. I didn't feel bad or guilty about anything because I asked the right questions and there were no signs that he was still married (he lived with his sister and I visited their house several times and was cool with her). He has to live with the fact that he was a lowdown liar and he missed out on this here good thang.

Comment: >amethyst - it's called evolution. If you act the same way at 35 that you acted at 5 - throwing tantrums, being a bully to other children, being stingy w/toys then that's really sad. And I know people who haven't evolved past that kind of behavior. I've worked with them and in some cases tried to be friends w/them. It's not cool. I co-sign that we need to grow and sometimes "be yourself" ain't such a cool thing. My older brother will tell you he's an a--hole. He's freakin' proud of it. My little brother (and best friend) and I agree that if he weren't our brother, we'd have nothing to do w/him because he's rude, uncouth, and a hot-headed bully. I've told him several times through the years that the way he is ain't cool but he says that "I am what I am and if you don't like it f--- you"...and he scratches his head that he has no friends, not even his siblings...So, yeah, I co-sign. Sometimes there is need for change. Your friends should challenge you to be a better person. If they don't and all you get is that ole sista girl "I know that's right" you won't grow.

Comment: Lovely, how you gonna twist up the words like that? It's Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! >Queen, facetious? Me? Sometimes I can be but I was truly in agreement with what you were posting. Most people I know use blanket statements to describe things but I felt that you did a really good job of breaking it down. Some dudes take the thug thing too far because they think that's what women want/need and what a man is supposed to be. I would never describe myself as a thug. I got a mean streak that might get me labeled as a thug by other people but as I get older I'm starting to see the forest from the trees...I don't want to be attached to negativity like that. That's why I stopped using the "N" word...as much. I slip from time to time but in an effort to be a better person I have to stop using negative stereotypical labels and titles to define who I am or what I represent.

Shoot, he was making HER some breakfast! /The Twizzlers reference ^^ reminded me of a story from back in the day. One of my friends said she was with this guy and he was huffing, puffing, sweating, the whole nine yards. Whycome she said "He was doing it to the sheets because he never got inside me."? That's why teenagers need to focus on academics and athletics, they ain't ready. Also, I've "heard" of men who have Twizzlers instead of Chico Sticks.

Comment: A good piece of advice I got from an ex was that I needed to improve my communication skills. He said when we were friends we talked about any- and everything for hours and hours. After we got in a relationship he said I became an "emotional illiterate". I would hold stuff in for a while, then when we disagreed about something I would go off, and bring up 50-11 other things. I thank the brother for telling me something that would edify me and make me a better person. After that I spent a lot of time understanding who I am, what makes me tick, and what I want in a relationship. Now I am able to communicate what I'm looking for and speak when I'm unhappy or concerned about something. To me relationships should be like jobs: each one should be of better quality than the previous one. You should be gaining more accomplishments, skills and knowledge with each experience.

Comment: I ont know, I like traditional christmas music. But, I know its a cute song however, if i hear Mariah Carey's All I want for Christmas one more gin! OMG make it stop. Ban it. Play it every other year. But I have heard it a ga-zillion times already this year.

Comment: >DJ - I think Utah is in reference to polygamy and the Mormons. In defense of Lovely, I had a crush on MJ when I was 11. I had a dosier on him - magazine covers/articles, posters in my room, buttons. I woulda bought that red jacket with my babysitting money if I could've afforded it. I had to settle for a T-shirt w/a picture of him doing the "toes" thing in the "Billie Jean" video. By the time I was 14, he was a crazy ghost-white nut ball and the thrill was gone. But I get her w/the MJ thing. To an 11 year old, that feminine look is non-threatening I guess. If you look at the teenie bopper heart throbs, they all are kinda feminine or baby-fied in their appearance, almost pretty. Think Sanjaya from American Idol and the screaming/crying little white girl...

Comment: Asize-- yep, that is one of the CD's I sent to you. Its downloaded on my laptop. I got fiddylevel mo that I will be listening to this afternoon. TO ANSWER THE INQUIRIES ABOUT THAT DISRESPECTFUL OLD MAN: When he said that to me, I told him "Excuse me, but you don't know me like that. Hold on while I get my mother" Then I left him on hold for about 7 minutes before I decided to go upstairs to give the phone to my mother. That long azz silence gave him plenty of time to think about that shat. My momma didn't hear it, but later said that he was truly apologetic. But, the damage was already done and I was kinda mad that SHE didn't cuss him out on my behalf! That showed total disrespect for the father who raised me. What I shoulda done was 3-way my daddy so that he can cuss him out. That would have been pure comedy cause he uses words like bullfock on the regular.

He did have some special teeth :-) Oooh I remember I went to a Bobby Brown concert when he went solo and he had on these hammer pants and was poppin all over the place.

Comment: >Nuby - I like to be thorough...when I was in 6th grade, I brought in a page from Star magazine with a bunch of pics of MJ - in the Whiz, in concerts, etc. to show my friends. My teacher told me to put it up and do my work. When I had it out again, she came over and took it and ripped it up in front of me (and the entire class) and threw it in the trash. I looked at her was imagining stabbing her and then calmly walking home. I think death was in my eyes cuz she told my mother I intimidate her. She f*cked w/my dosier. She had to be eliminated (at least in my mind)...I've never forgiven her for that! LOL...and it taught me a lesson. When I was teaching, I never did that to a child. I'd take up something they shouldn't have and either give it back at the end of the class or day or I'd make their parents come get it if it was something crazy. You don't destroy a student's property, even if it's a magazine article. It's just wrong.

In that case this dude named Terry who tried to date me with the nose an anteater would be proud of would've been a hella good ride...He reminded me of that sinus commercial with the big noses walking around sniffling. His biological clock was ticking becuz he was about to turn 40 and he was talking marriage/babies a month into dating. All I could think of was big nosed babies and I couldn't do it. And don't misunderstand. I'm not talking "black feature big". I'm talking nose spread all across your face Andrea Mitchell big...I can say that feet and height are wrong...or that's what I've heard.

Comment: DJ, a foretaste is an appetizer or a tease. Like when your lady walks past you and just raises her hem enough so you can see that she's wearing stockings and a garter, but not the rest of her ensemble. It's a foretaste of what's to come much later. Comprende?

Comment: >yelleyw - ya beat me to it. I've known a couple black guys named Dana. I always thought it a bit odd, though. And I've heard of Kim, too for a black dude. The one that I could never get is "Marion". Marrianne, for a woman, sure but "Marion" for a dude. Nah. Nope. Can't get w/that. What gets me is the names people give their children. It's like they don't realize that this child will carry this name FOREVER. Why name a child the name a hundred kazillion other children have? Amber/Ashley/Taylor and names like Bailey/Madison/Kennedy/Parker/Raven/etc. - it's been done. It's not unique anymore. Move on! I have a niece named Amber and it fits her but that name needs to go into the name vault and not brought back out for at least 10 years. My nephew's name is Xavier - that's where it's at. We call him X-Man. And yes, me and my lil bro were frustrated superheroes growing up but I'm not sure if that's where it came from. But I may name my child Storm. LOL...

Name: Disillusioned_Jones
Comment: SB, you and me see neck to neck because I also feel that FLA spreads the field too much and runs alot of trick plays. I can't see Bama stopping them. But then again, Percy Harvin is hurt. I wish Mizzou could stun OK but that's wishful thinking. The question isn't if, but how...as in how much is OK gonna win by. Will they score 50? 60? Seeing OK and FLA with all that offense on the field is sick. Like you, my heart lies with the SEC so I'm pulling for FLA. I guess I'll be bold and call a score, too. I say FLA by five. Like 42-37.

Comment: I have no idea on earth why a woman would have her pants and drawers down in the bathroom. That's a new one. A woman needs to wash her special place EVERY day of the month, and sometimes more than once/day!! Funk is NOT acceptable. In high school my cousin said she always knew when her best friend had her cycle because she smelled. Ewwww /Lovely, you've been doing good for a while now, but here's a slap upside the head. Any form of sexual activity on church grounds is blasphemous and nastay. Some kids at my church got caught spooging in the balcony pews in the dark on a weekday. And a boy at New Birth (Eddie Long's church) was accused of raping a girl on Easter Sunday in a classroom at the church.

Comment: DJ, either way. If it is a OK/Fla game its gone be great man. All that offense in one stadium seems unfair. If Mizzou somehow does pull off the upset I believe Big 12 officials will breathe a sigh of relief because then TX or maybe even SC will play. But it won’t be OK who lost to TX head to head. I still can’t get over that. It’s like you cant settle issues on the field anymore, its done by these so called “geniuses!!!” Anyway, you keep up with the NFL, who you rolling with this year? Im a titan/Atlanta/saints fan…and that’s because they’re all in my region, we don’t have anyone here in MS that we can call our own!!! Yelley, what you stroking with?

Besides, I never met Lena Mae because she died right before I was born so I think it would be a nice tribute to her. But I'ma have to drop the Mae...My ma may get mad but I just can't get w/Goldie for a child. I know that's an old fashion thing but sorry.

I am not a traditional or conventional beleiver. I dont think the church house is any more special than any other place on the earth. You are supposed to be "righteous" at all times. I am so not righteous,but that is my take on it.

Well, they did play Ohio State...like I said they played NOBODY! Now, either way you look at it the BCS Championship will be decided between the two best conferences in College Football this year. The SEC and the Big 12. Now, as far as the NFL...Giants, baby! You got alotta Titans and Steeler fans on here and they real sensitive. I'm looking forward to seeing that showdown between Carolina and Tampa Bay, too...I'm just glad you didn't say you was a Dallas fan!

I've been have a convo with my BFF about me wearing pants to church. Of course her mom is old school and they're always getting on me about it. So the other day I let them have it. The Bible does speak on women not trying to take the image of a man, but it did NOT say ONLY when you're in the temple/church. It shouldn't be done in God's eyes at all. So, in actuality, women should NEVER wear pants.

Comment: Amethyst I see your point, but I hold a different view because church folk have a tendency to create idols out of the pastor, choir, church building etc and worship them. Of course I am not accusing anyone of doing this and Of course I dont think type of behavior is acceptable but I dont believe in getting caught up in a building. God is everywhere and imo it is just as scandolous to have s@x in any public place.....and yes I have done it.

Comment: msfres'... my boy Dave Hollister got a new gospel CD... he has a cut on there called church and makes reference to that very thing... "its not about your clothes, its about your soul" I know for me, most of the churches I vist have gotten away from the back in the day' suited and booted Sunday morning fashion show, I mean its nice to see the mothers with their coordinated hats and suits and furs.. but for the young folks just wanting to hear a word'... the dress up factor can mess one up!!

Comment: Letmein, I have attended a nondenominational church with roots in Cogic and he taught that as well. I disagree with that point about the pants, but hey we can pull many scriptures and say we shouldn't cut our hair, be touched at all while menustrating, eat pork, the list goes on and on.

Comment: Hey, Fresno!!! /letmein - Oops, got the number of Usher's mixed up. LOL I'm old-fashioned about church attire. My Pastor's wife told me years ago that women shouldn't wear pants in the sanctuary; we were at Revival and I didn't have a chance go to home and change. I never wore pants on Sundays and still don't. Out of consideration for her and the older women I don't wear them in the sanctuary at any time. I don't have a problem with women wearing pants; my problem is the TYPE of pants they wear. The tight, hip-hugging, thong-showing, stretchy-material-showing-your-cellulite just ain't cute in worship. You're distracting the men and upsetting my stomach. Slacks and pantsuits are nice, and are better than size HH cleavage showing, 15 tattoos peeking out, or short skirts/dresses that you know will rise 3 inches when you sit down. Don't need Sharon Stone action in worship, either. I put a scarf or my jacket over my lap if my hem is too short.

Comment: Juice, I feel you. Wanna hear something weird? When I was visiting ruins over in Greece and Italy when I walked into a Temple I took my hat (If I was wearing one) off and took a more reverant tone. This wasn't because I'm a religious fanatic (cause I'm nowhere near) but because I felt that these places, even in their ruin represented a place on Earth that was built soley for worship. True that. We can worship anywhere but personally I don't see a church as just "any" building. That's just me, though.

Comment: Oueenie, I agree with you. To me that is what is wrong with some black church goers. What does me wearing pants, TENNIS SHOES(thats for you DJ), and whatever to church have to do with me worshipping and honoring God. I dont think you should wear your whore gear, but if all you have is whore gear then I think it is better to wear that than not get some word at all. This topic is so very interesting to me. But I like you really dont care what church attendees think of me. They should be more worried about saving souls rather than my clothes.

Comment: >Amethyst - I gotta cosign on the type of pants. I wear appropriately sized dress slacks or pantsuits. Pants like the kind you are talking about are not my style. Too tight = trashy. My clothes are classy. My church doesn't trip off pants so it's not an issue. So many women wear them that I don't feel out of place at all.

Name: amethyst
Comment: Fresno - I interpret "Come as you are" as come in the best state that you can. There are people who don't have nice or dressy clothes and they should be welcome in any church. Those of us who are fortunate to have the means can wear something nicer. When I first started going to church I didn't have "church clothes" (i.e. pumps, skirts and dresses). I bought blouses and skirts so I could mix and match and stretch what I had. I wore one pair of black heels most of the time. You do better when you can. I respect the contemporary churches where folks dress casual. The focus should be on Christ, not Christian Dior. My friend said her father, a pastor, said he doesn't care what they have on he's just trying to get them in the door. No one at my church says anything to people about what they have on and that's how it should be.

Name: Juicebox
Comment: DJ, I feel you I just dont beleive in worshiping a building. Alot of people do that. I am basically playing devil's advocate because I think people focus on the wrong things......12, you are right people do try and interpret things to fit their lifestyle but they know they are tripping when they do. otherwise they wouldn't fight so hard to prove their point.

Comment: queenie - I'm from the South and never thought of wearing pants to church. When I went to school in Connecticut I went to a local white church with some friends and was freaked out that women had on pants. It made sense to me, it was cold as the North Pole up there! /Although we shouldn't worship buildings, I agree with DJones that there is a place for everything. There are certain behaviors that are not allowed in courtrooms, for example. When I went to traffic court a few years ago the bailiff explained that we couldn't chew gum, wear sunglasses, wear headphones, and men had to remove their hats. You don't approach the bench until told to do so, and everyone must stand when the judge enters and sit when he/she says so.

Comment: Queenie, YOU FELT THAT WAY, TOO? I remember going through a little forest and then it was like the trees parted and gave way to the most beautiful sight I've even seen on Earth! And you are so right. Nobody believes me when I say how spiritual it was! I felt like the canyon was giving out "energy"...like there was a "hum" coming up out the depths. It was such a spiritual connection that I kept thanking God that I was there to see it. But I'm a nature person. I'm always in the woods here in VA walking through trails. Nature puts me at ease and makes me feel closer to God.

Comment: That's right, DJ and Cali, everyone should be welcome into any place of worship no matter what they have on. My church is in the 'hood and my pastor said that's where we are going to stay so we can serve the community that needs us. We won't be moving to the country or burbs. Folks come inside dirty, funky, high and drunk and no one bothers them. We need to remember the purpose for being there: to worship God and preach salvation. /asize - Note had a friend who was Muslim. Negro had the nerve to say something to me about eating a ham sandwich. I told him "When you put down the weed, maybe I'll put down the pork." And your friend's husband is not a devout Jehovah's witness. Weren't they together before they got married? And he's celebrating holidays? Whateva..

Comment: Well Amethyst i hardly have any dresses in my closet and I am not about to go buy some to go to church. I have nice slacks and pant suits that I wear, if that is not good enough for the masses, oh well. They can always pass the collection plate around and buy me some.

Name: Disillusioned_Jones
Comment: Juice, like you said. We will all have our opinions. I can see where your logic lies. I'm not saying that you are wrong but at the same time as humans whether we admit it or not we all hold material things in esteem. While we might not think we should worship buildings or people many of us worship the dollar bill. Depends on how far we want to break this down. At what point are we willing to use moderation and balance and apply it to our lives? I've traveled alot around the world and I've seen alot of weird things. I can't find it within myself to tell someone what shouldn't be sacred to them...

We are supposed to be lights of the world. I am not sitting in judgement of anyone because everything I type I have trampled over before and probably will do so tomorrow.

Comment: Fresno - The problem is we often speak on our own accord, not when moved by the Holy Spirit. When my pastor's wife talked to me she took me into a room in private and talked to me lovingly. She told me she considered me like a daughter, then mentioned the pants. I was a new Christian and 21 years old. Because she had a decent spirit I received what she said and wasn't offended. One of the things I work on is praying before speaking (and posting on EUR) because I do care how the recipient will receive it.

Comment: yelley - Different churches are different when it comes to attire. I went home with one of my friends to the celebration of their new church. They are Pentecostal and her father is the Pastor. Why my crazy self wore a "regular" dress and when I sat down the hem was way above my knees. They are traditional Pentecostal, all the women wear their dresses/skirts to the ankle, and few wear make-up. I was self-conscious all day. And I've worn earrings when I've worshipped with my Seventh-Day Adventist family members. My cousins were like, "Whatever, ain't nobody mad at cha." They traditionally don't wear any jewelry.

They were from out of town and were discussing buying alcohol. Being my Southern hospitable self, I told them they better get it then 'cause you can't buy it after 11:45pm Sat. night. They were shocked. They thanked me. You can buy alcohol on military bases, and in restaurants and bars on Sunday.

Comment: Ame, I remember Blue Laws being something about what you could or couldn't do on Sunday. I never heard of it until I got down South. I was told that Blue Laws are practiced in the Bible Belt of the country. So I think GA is in there, too.

Comment: Ame>>I had to pull a Cali and google it....A blue law is a type of law, typically found in the United States and Canada, designed to enforce moral standards, particularly the observance of Sunday as a day of worship or rest, and a restriction on Sunday shopping. Most have been repealed, declared unconstitutional or are simply unenforced, although prohibitions on the sale of alcoholic beverages, and occasionally almost all commerce, on Sundays are still enforced in many areas. Blue laws often prohibit an activity only during certain hours and there are usually exceptions to the prohibition of commerce, like grocery and drug stores. In some places blue laws may be enforced due to religious principles, but others are retained as a matter of tradition or out of convenience.

Comment: Cali - Our ur-shers will give you a scarf for your lap. I saw one woman get ticked off and she left. Sorry, dear, but the folks in the pulpit and choir stand don't need to see the color of your undies. Some ministers have said it takes a lot of concentration when they sit on the pulpit. Looking up at the balcony can test a brotha!

Comment: I remeber when I was living in PG County and I had friends over in VA. I used to HATE going to VA because it was like night and day between MD, DC and VA. VA was all strict and I remember they didn't have liqour stores...they had ABC's. I hated VA! And now look at me, a Virginian. Oh well...
