Comment: I received the following e-mail from a SRIAH reader and was APALLED! I knew Crusty was crazy but I did not know the extent! Am I the only person who did not know about her STALKING Beyonce?!!! Check this out: This is something I thought was PRETTY funny. Its from a blog called The Blueprint : (AP) ATLANTA Pop superstar Beyonce may file papers requesting a restraining order against an Atlanta photographer who she claims has been stalking her for 2 years. According to reports, Beyonce fears for her safety after allegedly being stalked by Sandra Rose, 46, who began stalking and harassing her in 2005. According to sources close to Beyonce, Rose, a photographer specializing in celebrity events, was commissioned to photograph a party following a Destiny’s Child concert in 2005. Rose introduced herself to Beyonce and a conversation followed. Following their brief meeting, Rose began sending nude pictures of herself and sexually explicit emails to Beyonce’s publicist offering to perform [sexual act] on Beyonce and saying that she wanted “a relationship” with Beyonce. After Beyonce and her publicist declined her advances, Rose reportedly became enraged and began a campaign of threatening emails, phone calls, and faxes to Beyonce’s publicist and her management company. Beyonce was reportedly so distressed by Rose’s harassment that she cancelled a month of album promotion and left the country out of fear for her safety. According to sources, Rose’s harrasment of Beyonce is sexually-charged and may escalate to violence. “Ms. Rose’s attempts to contact Beyonce often contain disturbing sexual references and graphic sexual language,” says sources. In the restraining order Beyonce may request that Rose stay at least 300 feet from her as well as her family and employees, and be barred from attending her July 20 concert at Phillips Arena. Sources close to the incident agree that a restraining order is prudent in the situation. “Her fascination with Beyonce has grown into an obsession that we fear may grow into something much worse. If given the opportunity we fear that she may harm Beyonce.” (© 2007 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.

Comment: Rapper DMX was arrested at the house of hip-hop producer Scott Storch. A bench warrant was issued for DMX's arrest after he missed a court appearance in Arizona on Friday, where he was due to face charges of drug possession, identity theft and animal cruelty. FBI agents tracked down the star-real name Earl Simmons-on Tuesday at a mansion on Palm Island, off the Florida coastline, belonging to wanted hitmaker Scott Storch. A warrant was issued for Storch's arrest earlier this year (08) after he failed to appear at a child-support hearing, but it remains unclear if the 34-year-old was present when the authorities apprehended Simmons. Simmons' lawyer Bradford Cohen tells XXL, "(DMX) got picked up at Scott Storch's house this afternoon. I don't know if Scott Storch was home at the time." Simmons - currently behind bars in Miami-Dade County jail-is scheduled to appear in bond court on Wednesday morning, according to Cohen. IN OTHER NEWS: Mariah Carey is delighted voters chose Barack Obama as the next U.S. President - because she's convinced his victory will change the world. The singer admits she was shocked at Obama's landslide win, and insists it shows how far race relations in the U.S. have come in the last 50 years. Singer John Legend has vowed to continue with his acting career-but only if the right part comes along. Pharrell Williams is set to become the face of a New York textile firm (Bionic Yam) after he was inspired to invest in the environment-friendly fabric company. Williams is now set to become an amb%*$ador and spokesperson for the brand, which makes clothing from recyclable bottles.

Comment: "OVERSEAS "BILLIONAIRE" SPONSOR" "Behind The Velvet Rope Of An Overseas Sponsor & Black Female Celebrity" She finally has the spotlight trained on her! She hit the jackpot just in time because her career was winding down and her money was getting low. Our black female celebrity snagged a married overseas billionaire (sponsor) who replenished her funds and gave her 24/7 access to his private jet. He picks up all her bills, whether they are 4 figures or 6 figures. He's presented her with a black Dubai credit card, he's opened an Swiss bank account in her name with a six figure sum and he has secured overseas projects for her-where she's paid big money. He's also bought her a home overseas. But, she's in over her head and loves to flaunt their affair openly to the discontentment of his wife who's a very well connected woman who feels very humiliated by these events. Our female celebrity doesn't realize, power can open the door and power can also be the cause of your destruction; career wise. It's being rumored that the wife has a fixer on retainer to bring her photographic evidence so she can receive a big divorce settlement if it comes to that. Meanwhile, our female celebrity has been seen all hugged up with Mr. Billionaire in St. Tropez and Monte Carlo. Who Is She & Who Is The Well Known Billionaire Sponsor?

Comment: BLACK ACTOR (DELETED FROM HISTORY) Actor Canada Lee (1st photo) was an outstanding actor, in the category of Sidney Poitier and Denzel Washington. He was one of the most respected black actors of the 1940's and a passionate civil rights activist. Lee was born in Harlem in 1907. He was a renaissance man like his idol Paul Robeson. He was a musical prodigy on violin and piano, he made his concert debut at New York's prestigious Aeolian Hall at 11. By 13, he had become a successful jockey; in his teens, a pro boxer, and in his 20's, a leading contender for the national welterweight title, until an unlucky blow to the the head cost him his sight in one eye and ended his fighting career. He turned to acting. He was a natural and his most famous film was Alfred Hitchcock's "Lifeboat," in 1944. Lee also gave a memorable performance in "Body & Soul." In 1946, Lee produced "On Whitman Ave," becoming the first African-American to produce a play on Broadway. Lee experienced a meteoric fall from grace when Joseph McCarthy labeled him a communist. His longtime friend Ed Sullivan also denounced him in his nationally syndicated column. A few of Lee's black friends also turned on him because he fought passionately for civil rights but was carrying on an public relationship with a White/Jewish woman named Frances Pollack. He was labeled a hypocrite. Racism from both sides ended this interracial romance. In 1949, the FBI offered to clear Lee’s name if he would publicly call Paul Robeson a Communist. Lee refused and responded by saying, “All you’re trying to do is split my race.” In 1952, Canada Lee, 45, died penniless. Lee’s chronic high blood pressure led to kidney failure, and he died of an excruciating blood poisoning known as uremia. Source: "Becoming Something: The Story Of Canada Lee," by Mona Z. Smith

Comment: Whoopi Goldberg purchased the rights to the book, "Destined To Witness: Growing Up Black In Nazi Germany," in 2001, based on the memoirs of former EBONY Magazine Managing Editor Hans J. Massaquoi. "It's a story that needs to be told," Goldberg told the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper. "People don't realize that during the course of the '30s and '40s in Germany, there were a lot of Black people trying to survive and not making it." The son of an African diplomat and a White German nurse, Massaquoi details the plight and prejudice faced by Blacks at the hands of the Nazis. Like all non-Aryans, he was dehumanized and devalued by the Nazis. His skin color made him an especially easy target in the Holocaust era. The compelling novel marks the first time in literature that the experiences and ultimate survival of a Black youth growing up in Nazi Germany have been chronicled. Rumors persist that Goldberg is finally on the verge of securing financing to start production on the film.

Comment: CONGRATS TAZ!!!! Good morning everybody! All I wanna know is... How in the HEYALL was it 76 degress in Houston yesterday and today the HIGH is 43 degrees with a chance of sleet/rain?!?! JUICY-- what do you think about Heidi and Spencer getting married? I say its a publicity stunt to get their own show. Theyy are tired of being in Lauren's shadow. I heard that Audrina wants her own show, too. You know Whitney and Brody are debuting their own shows soon...

Comment: Hey Lawd, I hope that it is a publicity stunt and not real. I cant believe that Heidi can watch the show and not see Spenser for who he is. If all of this is true she went from having goo gobs of friends to no friends. I wont be watching Whitney, Brody and definitely Audrina's show. I am not that bored. I am about done with the Hills, it is really on its last legs.

Comment: Well isn’t this special? The I-Team over at My Fox Atlanta did a whole feature tonight on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” stars NeNe and Greg Leakes (if that’s even her husband). Remember when her people and Bravo put out that statement denying The Leakes ever got evicted from their “mansion” in Sugarloaf–the same one we were all led to believe they actually owned? Well, Fox put them on blast showing the actual eviction documents. The eviction was retracted after an “agreement” was reached, but they still left the home because they couldn’t afford it. Check out the I-Team’s whole investigation here that aired tonight. Furthermore, Fox blasted that Greg is a rental manager and wasn’t that great at his job. He owed over 100k in back taxes, and his clients haven’t seen or heard from him. They had to hire a P.I. He even moved his friends (a pastor and his wife) into one client’s rental property, but the couple couldn’t afford the $2300 rent and left the home in disgusting disarray. Now NeNe’s saying she never said they were rich–just comfortable. Um, isn’t the premise of this show about being rich? And who is comfortable getting evicted? Just saying… The whole show makes my stomach hurt because all the “cast” needs more people. The poserificness is suffocating. Either you got it or you don’t. Stop posing. I put 5 on it NeNe’s about to sell her entire closet of Louis Noitton and Nada just to get that house back and save face. Hell, Sheree might even throw in some of her nonexistent “She” clothes from her “fashion line”. We love you and all Lennethia. But this extreme poser sh*t is out of control. Girl…stop.

Comment: Juicy- I agree, that show is getting boring altho I did hear that it has been approved for a 5th season. Heidi is indeed stupid. Most women in bad relationships don't have the luxury of seeing just how much of an a.ss their bf is ON NATIONAL TV. And where does he work? I heard that he was her 'manager' but what does she need to have managed? I despise him. And he reminds me of Jim Carrey in The Mask... Anyway, I am headed into the office. Yall play nice today...

Comment: Cancer to be world's top killer by 2010 Who Says--ATLANTA – Cancer will overtake heart disease as the world's top killer by 2010, part of a trend that should more than double global cancer cases and deaths by 2030, international health experts said in a report released Tuesday. Rising tobacco use in developing countries is believed to be a huge reason for the shift, particularly in China and India, where 40 percent of the world's smokers now live.So is better diagnosing of cancer, along with the downward trend in infectious diseases that used to be the world's leading killers.Cancer diagnoses around the world have steadily been rising and are expected to hit 12 million this year. Global cancer deaths are expected to reach 7 million, according to the new report by the World Health Organization.An annual rise of 1 percent in cases and deaths is expected — with even larger increases in China, Russia and India. That means new cancer cases will likely mushroom to 27 million annually by 2030, with deaths hitting 17 million.Underlying all this is an expected expansion of the world's population.

Comment: Hi fam. Well, my patient is doing just fine, they gave him a hard cast yesterday and told him he'll have to wear that 4 weeks and the if his achilles is healing properly, they'll push his foot into a 90 degree angle and put him in a boot. He's sad that he's going to miss his dad's birthday golf trip but I think he's still gonna go and just ride in the cart. Poor baby. Anyway, I spent last night trying to cheer him up (and I think I succeeded when I put on a little show for him). Be back, going downstairs to get breakfast and then I need to do some work.

Comment: I Didn't Know This---Subject: Pin number Reversal (good to know) If you have and use an ATM Card to withdraw money and you're being forced to get cash for an invader, you may want to know this...!!! I was skeptical about this one and called The Bank of America to verify it -they told me it is true - it's something that has evolved fairly recently.PIN NUMBER REVERSAL (GOOD TO KNOW)If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin # in reverse. For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321 The ATM recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine. The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to help you This information was recently broadcasted on FOX TV and it states that it is seldom used because people don't know it exists.

Comment: Morning Fam! Congratulations Taz! Juicey>> I can believe Sandra is a stalker as crazy as she talks on her site about Bey but I CAN'T believe her fugly azz would send explicit pics to ANYONE! *swallows back bile* LAWD>> I read that Spencer and Heidi are already married. They did it a few weeks back. The show is getting tired and I can't believe they are giving Whitney and Brody their own shows. Whitney is a sweetheart but she is boring to me so I can't see myself watching unless she REALLY comes out of her shell. Brody already bombed once a few years back when he and his bro tried to do a reality show. A bromance? Sounds geigh to me. It may do well though cause he's hot. I have a cold like the other 50-11 people at my job. I took some tylenol cold nightime and was in a coma by 9:30 I'm mad I missed my Bad Girls. Guess I'll have to catch the rerun.

Comment: Jfrom>> Yeah I heard something about it wasn't legal. I don't know what that poor girl is thinking. The man has alienated her from her family, friends, she got demoted at work. He reminds me of a Chucky doll. My biggest question is what the hell does he do to have so much money. I'm azzuming its his parents. He was a moocher on Brody's old show years ago. He was living in their house and gettin them in trouble all the time but I guess that was his "role" in the show.

Comment: The ATM PIIN Reversal is a hoax. Please don't try that, b/c it could put a person in even more danger, b/c while the technology is in fact there, not all banks use it. As a matter of fact, very few banks use it, and considering the vast network of ATMs, finding one that is wired for reversal piins is unlikely. But, if a person is being forced to withdraw money against their will, it is safer to just do the withdrawal and report to the police ASAP. But DO NOT think that reversing your access code will summon police. It will not.

Comment: The devil never stops working. See how they are trying to connect my President with this Blagojevich crap? They just cannot stand that B.O. won. He has a very hard road ahead of him. The devil will continue to come at him from all sides. jLet up please continue to keep him and his family covered in prayer. >>>>>WASHINGTON – President-elect Barack Obama hasn't even stepped into office and already a scandal is threatening to dog him. Obama isn't accused of anything. But the fact that Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, a fellow Democrat, has been charged with trying to sell Obama's now-vacant Senate post gives political opponents an opening to try to link him to the scandal. A slew of questions remain. The investigation is still under way. And the ultimate impact on Obama is far from certain. He pointedly distanced himself from the case Tuesday, saying, "I had no contact with the governor or his office, and so I was not aware of what was happening" concerning any possible dealing about Blagojevich's appointment of a successor. In Chicago, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said prosecutors were making no allegations that Obama was aware of any scheming. And Blagojevich himself, in taped conversations cited by prosecutors, suggested that Obama wouldn't be helpful to him. Even if the governor was to appoint a candidate favored by the Obama team, Blagojevich said, "they're not willing to give me anything except appreciation." Republicans pounced nonetheless. "The serious nature of the crimes listed by federal prosecutors raises questions about the interaction with Gov. Blagojevich, President-elect Obama and other high ranking officials who will be working for the future president," said Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the new GOP House whip. Added Robert M. "Mike" Duncan, chairman of the Republican National Committee, "President-elect Barack Obama's comments on the matter are insufficient at best." >>>>>For the rest of the story, go here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081210/ap_on_go_pr_wh/ill inois_governor_analysis

Comment: I want his glove! - LOS ANGELES – Michael Jackson's glittery glove is going on the auction block. The glove, which inspired countless copycats, quips and Halloween costumes after it was unveiled in the 1983 video for Jackson's hit "Billie Jean," will be part of a five-day auction next year, Julien's Auctions announced Wednesday. Jackson is also unloading the grandiose gates that once led to his Neverland Ranch, along with more than 2,000 other personal items. The King of Pop's possessions will be on display before the auction begins on April 21, 2009. Bids will be accepted in person and online. The sale is to be broadcast live on Auction Network. Jackson plans to donate a portion of the proceeds to MusiCares, a charitable organization founded by the Recording Academy to help musicians in need. The singer has been plagued by financial woes since he was acquitted of child-molestation charges in 2003. He went into default on his sprawling Neverland property earlier this year, before an investment company bought the loan. Last month, Jackson's lawyers reached a settlement in a $7 million breach-of-contract case brought by a Bahraini sheik. As Jackson marked his milestone 50th birthday in August, the reclusive star hinted that he would be back to work eventually. "(I'm) looking forward to doing a lot of great things," he told ABC News. "I think the best is yet to come in my true humble opinion."

Comment: Am I the only one who was rooting for Brit to get better? I was even thinking about buying her new CD. Anyway, I say good for her and may she continue to get better. Oh, and I like her new song, "Circus". >>>>>Los Angeles (E! Online) – Britney Spears is back at No. 1. For the first time in more than five years, Britney topped the Billboard 200. Her new album Circus sold more than half a million copies for the week ended Sunday. This gives Spears the second biggest female bow of the year, topping debut weeks by Mariah Carey, Miley Cyrus, Madonna, Janet Jackson and Beyoncé and only trailing Taylor Swift. Once the final retail receipts are counted, the album should claim the seventh biggest bow of 2008. Back in October, Britney set the stage for her comeback when "Womanizer" became her first Hot 100 chart-topper since "…Baby One More Time" a decade ago. "Womanizer" also set the record for the biggest digital sales debut by a female artist (286,000 copies) since Nielsen SoundScan started tracking downloads in 2003. "Imagine a year ago, did anyone think that today she would be able to come out with an album that would, not only just debut at No. 1, but also do half a million copies in its first week?" asks Billboard Senior Chart Manager Keith Caulfield. "It's surprising, but at the same time it's got to be pretty satisfying for Britney and for her record label." And it's not just album and song sales soaring, because according to her website, "This tour is selling out like hot cakes! In response to overwhelming ticket sales, we have several more dates in cities including Los Angeles, London, Chicago, Toronto and Newark!" So expect the circus to be coming to your town soon.

Comment: Oh Yelle...I wasn't talking about you...LOL. I'm talking about my coughing, wheezing, sneezing, blowing co-worker, with whom I have a conference call in about an hour. I asked why he was here today, and he said to take the call. I said did it occur to you that you could have been conferenced in from home if it is that important to you? He said well, I'll leave after we're done. (I hate when people give a response that is not consistent with the question!) Bottom line: WTH is he doing here? And to top it off, he lets at least 4 weeks of leave get lost because he won't take his time off. Yeah, it %*$!es me off! If you are sick, stay home. The doctor even told him there is a really bad cold going around the city! So bastard, you are contagious stay home!

Comment: Good morning! Stuff like this never happens to me. If I find a bag of money with no way to identify whose it is, I'm not turning in jack. And won't feel guilty about it..... Honest woman finds $97K in restroom, returns it. MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – A Murfreesboro woman says she returned $97,000 she claims to have found in a Cracker Barrel restroom, but police said Tuesday they have no report of the find. Billie Watts, 75, told The Daily News Journal that she discovered the money inside a tapestry bag hanging from a hook on a stall door last Thursday. But five days later, the money and its anonymous owner remain something of a mystery in the community, where police said that they have no report of the find. While digging through the bag to figure out its owner, Watts says she found a bundle of neatly stacked $1,000 bills. Watts said she and her husband took the money home, but later called the restaurant back and asked if there was a lost-and-found department. She was told yes, and left her number. A woman called about 15 minutes later and verified she was the owner by identifying pictures left in the bag. Watts returned the bag to the owner, whom she described as an elderly woman, but said she does not have the woman's last name or phone number. Watts said the woman told her that the money came from selling her home and her belongings and that she was going to start a new life in Florida with her son. Watts says the woman offered to pay her $1,000, but Watts refused it. A manager of the Cracker Barrel restaurant, Bill Shupp, said no employees actually saw the money or the elderly owner.

Comment: JFromMO> I heard Dan Abrams say that there is actually some suspicion that Gov. Rod Blagojevich is a little off. He said that it is believed that the govenor suffers from dillusions of granduer, and there is a belief that the governor actually feels he should be president. I really admire the U.S. Attorney, Fitzpatrick, because he is not one who shucks and jives. He means business. But in this instance, he went after the governor before anyone else could get in trouble with him. Fitzpatrick at this point may have saved some power hungry folks from themselves before they could enter into a deal with the devil, who is this case is Gov. Rod Blagojevich. All I can say in this one is, "wow."

Comment: Yelley, that's exactly what it is. In the time it took her to call and ask me if I could make us some massage appointments and some dinner reservations somewhere, she could have just as easily done it her damn self. When we go out of town, I make all the arrangements (including putting the hotel/air/car on my card) and then she normally has an excuse about how she has to pay me back in installments. That's not the issue though, the issue is that I always have all the responsibility and I'm tired. That's why we didn't take a trip this year - no one else stepped up to do it all so we didn't go anywhere. I'm just tired.

Comment: LMAOO Oh its Pam thats cuttin up? I just fell out reading that cause I used to call my girl Beady B that and people didn't get it cause she was mixed (it was an inside joke). Anywho, you shoulda told her in a nice way to do it her damn self. What would really be funny is if you made an appt just for yourself. Its crazy that they really won't go anywhere if you don't plan it. Oh and your good for putting ish on your card knowing she takes her time to pay you back. I aint doin all that it shouldn't make a difference if I have money in the bank. If you can't pay up you need to keep ya azz as home.

Comment: Good morning. It's been raining since the wee hours and I'm fighting myself not to get back in the bed and watch TV or a movie. /Congrats Taz! You're the flyest GG in Cali! /be - You can check the validity of internet stories on www.snopes.com. /ark & SoBro - Where does "Better" come from? I can't remember.

Name: amethyst
Comment: Lovely & yelley - I'm the friggin planner, too. One friend told me a few years ago "Amethyst, just accept your role." I pondered on that for a while and realized that planning and organizing are my gifts. When you put that together with my being "particular" (according to Notesinger) about things being orderly, neat and timely I am usually the best candidate to get it done. My friends say my being detail-oriented is very helpful and they do appreciate my efforts. These skills are helping me in my travel business, too. However, Lovely, when you're tired just say no. Either let it ride or let someone else pull it together. Yelley, there are a few times that nothing happened because I wasn't in the mood to pull it together. Oh well, e'erbody is alright, we'll do it another time.

Comment: Good Morning Everyone...Happy Hump Day!!

Name: Lovely
Comment: J & Yelley - I am. That was a good idea, I'm bout to make a massage appt for just myself and then I can have dinner with my man and he can pay for it. Yelley, I think I'm just annoyed with her even more today because in the 3 minutes I talked to her, she managed to ask me how "Tiny Tim" was doing and to tell me that I need to drop him off at his mama's. I didn't even bring him up but she just HAD to say something stupid. I don't know why I'm so annoyed with her lately.

Name: amethyst
Comment: Lovely & yelley - Also, I can't stand dealing with folks who are trifling, unreliable and last-minute. I'd rather everyone else kick in their money and let me handle everything. One of my new things since I turned 40 is to limit group activities. I won't set myself up for others to get on my nerves or ruin an event. For instance, one of the girls who was going to DC with us is backing out because her family has decided to go and I guess she's going to stay with them (our other friend told me). That puts us in a bind because we are planning to split the hotel 4 ways. We have a couple of people who want to go, but the plane tickets are more than $400. When I see ol' girl Imma tell her how I feel about it.

Comment: *Sending prayers up for 12* Ame>> I have cut people outta things for those same things you just posted. Oh and no offense to those who have kids and hubbys but don't get mad when I stop inviting you when EVERYTIME I do you can't go. I have bought things in advance for those who I KNOW can and will pay me back right away. I've been burned before and won't ever go through that again. We are going to Wheeling on Sat just for a day of gambling and I told at least 2 people no when they asked me if I could front their money. If you don't have it in advance (and its only $30 for the bus) you don't need to be going anyway.

Comment: Yelley, see, it's ok for you to call him Tiny Tim because you just think it's funny, but it annoyed the crap out of me when she did it because she said it with a mean tone. I need a break from everything and (almost) everybody. I'm glad she's not going out with us this weekend...

Comment: Love - Sometimes you have to evaluate your relationships and decide if you still want to continue with certain people. There are people I have been friends with for a while who I sometimes look at like, WTH did you just say? Everyone is not worthy of your time. I can't stand negativity. Those people have to go. And I have enough issues on my own that I don't need to hear yours, too. I understand sometimes we all go through things, but ALL THE TIME? Uh uh. No. Sometimes you just have to let people go.

Trusting the Lord does not always mean getting what you want when you want it. Trust in the Lord shows an understanding that God is directing you in the proper way, regardless of what the circumstances might appear to be. Following God, not man, leads to victory. Do not become fearful when things are not going your way. Spend your time seeking God's direction for your life, and know that He has your best interest at heart. The Lord, not you or another person, will lead you into victory. Seek His will, walk in obedience, and you shall be blessed.

Comment: YLY - Obviously you know it's time to update the shoe. Good for you. Now, there are several really good brands out there, but what you end up with depends on what you plan on doing and what fits you best. Are you running? Walking? Weight-training? The answer to that will determine if you need a walking shoe, running shoe, or crosstrainer. Once that is established you can start trying on to see what fits you best. New Balance are excellent. So are Nikes, Asics, Rykas, or Reebox DMX. It may take you a while to find your best fit, but if it does, don't become discouraged. If you do find something you like, before you wear them for the first time, wear them around your house first (on the carpet). Just like with anything else, you get what you pay for. Stores like Foot Locker or Finish Line should have associates who can really help you and also make suggestions. You may get lucky and find someone at one the department stores (JCP or Macy's) who can help you as well, but they don't always know as much. Of course you can always do a little research online first to see what's recommended and start from there.

Your situation is not new O, it is none of our business.

Comment: YLY is looking for athletic shoes? I only wear Nike & New Balance. My fav workout shoes are the New Balance 1600's that my man bought me a long time ago. They were a limited edition shoe but they're amazing. My other workout shoes are all either Nike's Tuned Air's, Shox or 360's - the 360's are extremely comfortable. The tuned air's sync with my iPod and the shox are just my 'whatever' shoes.

Whycome my supervisor called me in her office last week to tell me that I made a mistake on a letter and that someone told her I interrupted them while they were tawk'n so she has to write me up. Blank stare!!!! Then she went around to tell everyone that there will be no salary increases next year. Hell the attorneys are making $815 an hour. It's always the little guy that suffers. Oh, the kicker, now that I've been written up because of this mysterious person I don't qualify for a bonus this year. Well, I see no reason to hang around, no bonus, no raise.

Some of my college friends have been trying to get together for over 2 years. Since yours truly hasn't organized it, it still hasn't happened. /Lovely - Do you think you're at a place in your life where that particular friend doesn't fit anymore? I think of "reason, season, lifetime". Just because you've been friends with someone for a long time doesn't mean there is still quality in the relationship. You may need to cut back on the amount of time you deal with him/her, and some relationships need a break because you're at different places at that time. You may re-connect down the road. /Javone - Part of Diva training is learning to do things for yourself and by yourself. Don't let other folks hinder you from doing what you want to do.

Comment: Greetings' to yall'... Prayers to my sista-daughter12' and congrats to GG Taz'!!! for yall that will be attending the inauguration just an FYI: Senators Feinstein and Bennett Urge DC Government To Reverse Emergency Alcohol Law WASHINGTON, DC—Senator Dianne Feinstein, Chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies (JCCIC), and Senator Bob Bennett, Member of the JCCIC and Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, today urged the Mayor and City Council of Washington, DC to reverse the emergency legislation passed last week to allow bars and restaurants to sell alcohol until 5 am during the week of the inauguration. “We have reached out to Mayor Fenty and Council Chairman Vincent Gray because of our grave concerns about the unintended consequences of this legislation,” said Senator Feinstein. “What is clearly meant as a boon to local businesses may instead create tremendous problems for already overwhelmed law enforcement agencies.” “Security needs to be the number one priority during the Inaugural ceremonies and extending the sale of alcohol until 5 a.m. in D.C. will only divert law enforcement resources away from their primary focus on security measures and crowd safety,” said Senator Bennett. The text of the letter follows: Dear Mayor Fenty and Council Chairman Gray: We are writing today to urge that City Council and the Mayor reverse emergency legislation approved by the Council last week that permits nightclubs, bars and restaurants to sell alcoholic beverages until 5 a.m. for four nights during the Inauguration of Barack Obama as our 44th President. With projections as high as 4 million people planning to visit the city during this time period, we are deeply concerned that the plan approved by the City Council could seriously strain law enforcement resources that need to be focused on the large crowds and security requirements of the Inaugural and its impact on the City. There is great cause for celebration at this historic event. But we believe that the benefits of this emergency legislation, passed with little public notice, are far outweighed by its possible consequences. We understand the pressures you face from the different constituencies in your city. But we also know the importance of standing firm to ensure the safety of residents, workers and visitors who will be in Washington, D.C., participating in this historic event.

Comment: when text messagin' goes really wrong....Text message links man to wife’s murder By KATHY JEFCOATS The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Tuesday, December 09, 2008 A Riverdale woman was found dead after her husband text-messaged his sister that he’d killed his wife, Clayton County police said. Police said Alesha Merritt, 38, had been dead several hours by the time medics were called to her Green Valley Lane home early Saturday. Her husband, Montay Lee Merritt, 33, has been charged with murder and is being held without bond in the Clayton County Jail. Police spokeswoman Officer Sonja Sanchez said the couple argued after a night of drinking Friday because Montay Merritt had impregnated another woman. The suspect told police he went to bed about 11 p.m. and woke at 7 a.m. Saturday to find his wife on the floor. But his sister, Monica Edwards, told police she got a text message from her brother at 6:40 a.m. stating he’d killed his wife. According to police the text read: “Monica, plz call me! I thk I killed Lisa (Alesha Merritt). We argued last night. I choked hern and she still on the floor naked. I haven’t touched her though. Plz call me.” Friends told police Montay Merritt had threatened “on many occasions” to kill his wife and that he recently went to her job with a knife threatening harm.

Comment: YLawdY - We talked about your 40-year-old Reeboks last year. /javone - So you can dance to Soulja Boy but not to Kirk Franklin? The times we live in. God bless all you educators. /Juicy - Have you been influencing your niece? /I'm short (5'2) and don't like tall men. It hurts my neck to look up that far. /Lovely - I was glad to see a new episode of The First 48; I've seen just about all of the old ones. That guy choking his ex-girlfriend was very sad. They were young, looked under 25. He was a cute guy, surely he could have gotten another woman.

Comment: be - Girl, I'll bring you some lunch. I can't stand the 25/20's licking fingers and rubbing hair while messing with food. I watch people while they are cooking, too, no matter the race. yelley - I hate mixing food with my hands, I use a big spoon if I can. Haven't folks heard of plastic gloves? javone - That's the Black program: ask who brought what before you get to the luncheon and pass the word!

Shoot, I may need to go work at the Bunny Ranch to earn a little change before I head out on New Year's... LOL Cuzzin>> You told us about those Reebok classics a while ago. I really hope you don't have bunions because those shoes are notorious for showing horrible toe prints! CTFU

Comment: Amethyst I spoil my nieces rotten. They have me wrapped around their tiny pinky fingers. My nephew will have me the same way. My two year old neices plays me like a piano. She called me at work to ask for a pooh bear. You know I am going to get it. She is too sweet for words. I cant wait for her birthday.

Comment: J77>> I've never met a man over the internet not that there is anything wrong with it. I have a few girlfriends I hang out with that I met in a chat a few years ago. I like to travel and so do they so we hang out every now and then. Years later and my friend still thinks its strange. Like they are some lesbos out to turn me out or something.

Name: LawdHvMrcy
Comment: FRES>> Girl, I know that's right! I am so excited b/c this is my first time going.. I have a friend from Altanta, Houston, and Florida flying in. We are going to be there from Saturday, December 27 through Thursday, January 1st. Other than New Year's Eve, we are trying to find other stuff to do. The shows are REALLY high, too. Most are around $150 - 200. The good thing is, I don't gamble (other than the $20 I have put aside for my gambling budget LOL), so all I plan to do is shop, party and eat! Since you and your new boo are going to be hemmed up most of the time in Vegas, you and I will have to connect when I finally move to Cali. Have fun, and don't end up in the Elvis chapel trying to get married and shat! CTFU

Comment: yelley - Note says companies always lay folks off around the end of the year when it's the holiday season. I told her they are trying to finalize things before Dec. 31st, which is the end of the fiscal year for many companies. The helper at your job has no clue and no manners, huh? My BFF's mother told her niece on Thanksgiving that when you got to someone's house you never sit at the head of the table. She's 12, so she didn't know; your co-worker is an adult and ought to know better. No home training, as Note would say.

Name: amethyst
Comment: Juicy - I call people out when they double dip. I've concluded that a lot of people just don't pay attention to germs and proper behavior. /TI is crossing over, too, huh? I saw the commercials for his appearance on SNL. I guess if Snoop and others can do it, he can, also. /Lovely - Those shoes sound cool and techno, but ur, I'm cheap and ain't about to pay for some shoes that play music! My budget for sneakers is $30-$35, and I only own one pair at a time.

Name: LawdHvMrcy
Comment: yellowchile-- I have met plenty of folks from the F4A as I often travel all over this country. When me and IJA met some dudes, we just said we went to college together. Its just easier that way because people tend to give you the side eye when you say you've met them on a blog... lol

Name: yelleyw
Comment: Lawd>> Hahaha! I don't tell just anyone how we met and we don't use our screen names in public. We were so used to doing it in the chat that most of us use it when we meet. Its just like a nickname to me. Funny my name was Lovely1 in the chat but I had to change it when I came here since it was already taken. *sticks tongue out at Lovely*

Comment: Ame, oh... naw, he spends that plus another hundred for my nike's... now me personally, i couldn't care less about them but luckily he has bought every pair of nike's & new balance since I met him. he keeps me well supplied. my ex did the same. they're both sneaker freaks. i probably have at least 15 pair of nike's and 5 pair of new balance in my closet right now (and that's a low estimate). He went through this air max phase when we first met and bought them in all kinds of colors for me and then when they came out with Nike id, he went crazy making custom shoes for me. The thing is, I hardly wear them out-out so they all look brand new. my shox & 360's get the most wear.

Comment: Yeah, I've been productive today and got some tasks done, while keeping up with the board. /yelley - I hope you get someone to go on the cruise with you, we are going to have a blast! Should we each call your friend and identify ourselves? Some of us have met in person, and Note and chassie work together, so we are real people, not psychos. LOL /I like feta cheese too, especially on salad with balsamic vinaigrette. Jason's Deli has the best balsamic in the land. /Soror Juicy - I don't spoil my niece or any of my godchildren. I am good to them and show them a lot of love and attention.

Comment: Today I asked a friend about another friend whom I haven't talked to in more than a year. I am sticking to my policy of not being the one to always call or email. My friend said she is going through a lot right now with her marriage and mentioned a couple of times that I should call her. I'm not calling her for two reasons. First, I'm not in the place to have her problems and negativity infiltrate my spirit and mind. Second, everyone has problems sometimes, just not the same ones. She hasn't taken the time to find out what's gone in my life in more than 12 months. I will pray for her. I refuse to accept the "I'm so busy" excuse. Everybody is busy, whether they are married, single, employed, or have children. You have to MAKE time and TAKE time to stay in touch with your loved ones. It's dangerous to take for granted that someone will always be here, tomorrow isn't promised to anyone.
