    First I want to say Happy Belated Turkey Day...(I enjoyed my holiday even though I am a vegetarian) The collards were on point :)..
    Black Friday..it's wayyyyy out of hand..I have attended a few of the black friday shopping sprees..but when people start to loose their lives because of someone wanting to save a few bucks..I'm speechlees..
    There was also a woman who was pregnant and got knocked down and lost her baby..This is terrible..
    I love me some Jill Scott too...who said there was a specific time span that you need to adhere to before u can move on after you've ended your marriage...Once u know what it's like to feel real love u miss it..life must go on..I just wish her much happiness.

    3 - I sure hope not...

    Lina - Same to you!

    I refuse Black Friday...I don't need the craziness!

    I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

    #10 I missed the news this weekend. This is so disturbing and sad. Trample a man to death over. . .What? What was in there worth a man's life?

    #8 I know every couple has their problems and trials. But, I do admire the Obamas. And I tend to tell people I want that type of love.
    But, you are right I have to work on me and worry about what I got to offer.

    And you do deserve your awards. Congrats to you.
    Thank you for mine.
    I am always honored.

    Cheers Miss Marva! I hope you had a wonderful holiday. I've never been a big Benet fan though his voice is beautiful.

    I can't even bear to think about Bobby and Whitney. Contrast them with the Obama's and it gets really ugly. I agree w/you on keeping perspective on the new PE and Michelle.
  • DB · 1 year ago
    wow Plaxico is such an ass. this cat has no maturity what so ever.

    let Bobby and Whitney do their thing. he's probably still been hitting that since they split up anyway.

    i don't do Black Friday...you see something you like and get to the store and realize that they only had 4 of them. i'm straight.

    like the new layout by the way.

    10. Yet another reason I am sour on Black Friday. One blogger used this tragedy as an opportunity to write a post about the dangers of not having crowd control when dealing with low-income Blacks. I was tempted to ignore him, but I couldn't let his foolishness slide without saying something. Here is the link in case you want to read it.

    9. If Whitney and Bobby do reunite, it makes no difference to me. It sounds like they just might be on friendly terms. Either way, I wish them well.

    By the way, congrats on your two awards.
  • Marvalus · 1 year ago
    Sharon - I had a wonderful Thanksgiving...I hope yours was great too!

    10 - That's exactly the same question I asked myself...what is worth a man's life inside Walmart?

    8 - I admire them too...but I know I'm far from finding my Barack...

    Thank you...and you are welcome!
  • Marvalus · 1 year ago
    Danielle - Same to you! I've just been mesmerized lately by that silky voice of Mr. Benet's...::sigh::
  • Marvalus · 1 year ago
    DB - I wouldn't even be surprised to know that Bobby was tapping that...not surprised at all...

    Thanks...I think I will keep this one for a while... :lol:
  • Marvalus · 1 year ago
    Malcolm - I visited that link...it kills me when people say they aren't racists but insist on labeling all people of a certain class a certain way...if that isn't prejudice, then what is?

    I know that we all can have our hearts hardened by experiences in life; and even if this dude has "many black friends" and whatnot, he doesn't even realize that he's harboring some prejudice in his heart...and that is what's sad...

    First, many thanks for yet another award from you! You spoil me :) And nice new digs. You're always changing things up around here!


    I am so disgusted with humanity for that Walmart incident. And then just to walk over the guy while they are trying to revive him. Despicable. And then to hear that a pregnant woman miscarried. I mean, really.



    In Liz Mundy's bio on Michelle, she talks about how they went through a really rough patch in their relationship but they got through it. I guess I look to that as a model, how to not give up in the darkest hours. How to fight for the relationship. I do hope that it stimulates more discourse and ACTION on the black love and relationship crisis (such as it were).



    As for Jill, it's none of our business. And I know she would say as much. LOL! Not a choice I would make - which to clarify for those that aren't aware - to marry a man with 3 other kids by 3 baby mommas. But who cares what I think. As long as my tax dollars aren't paying for the crumbsnatcher!



    I'm not even going to bother to write another post on these ignorant athletes getting mixed up in mess. *sucks teeth in disgust*
  • Tha Connoisseur · 1 year ago
    Thank you so much for my award lady!! :) ***black woman blushing***


    You are most definitely on an Eric Benet kick and girl, I am NOT mad at ya!



    I agree with you wholeheartedly about the role model position that Michelle and Barack are being set into. I love their relationship and I have been singing it from the mountain tops. It is so precious and defining, that it has moved me to tears. However, I refuse to let society pigeon hole their love. We all know what happens once we place someone on a pedestal. One wrong move and we are not too forgiving about the fact that we are human and make mistakes. Relationships are about learning from our mistakes and making the love stronger. Be it a friendship, courtship or whatever it may be. Anyway enough preaching, I could go on and on...lol My point is - I concur. :)

    Mike -


    10 - And they should!



    9 - :)-



    6 - Yeah...I know...



    3 - I sure hope not...
  • Marvalus · 1 year ago
    Lina - Same to you!


    I refuse Black Friday...I don't need the craziness!
  • Marvalus · 1 year ago
    Viv - You are always welcome!


    I know (the Walmart thing)...it is truly disgusting...Malcolm hipped me to a link where the author said that because it was a group of lower class blacks, that this type of thing should have been expected...ain't that some shit?!



    You are so right about Jill...I ain't touching that...I wish her well!
  • Marvalus · 1 year ago
    TC - You are very welcome!


    Eric has me in a mood around here girl...ooh, chile!



    Barack and Michelle, I think, give us something to emulate...but only if we understand that it takes WORK to get there. They didn't just wake up and arrive at this point.

    Hello Marvalus,


    Thank you so much for your kind words and for honoring me with a Superior Scribbler Award. Congratulations to you and to the rest of the recipients!

    I was saddened to hear about the Wal-Mart tragedy. How is that possible that you don't know you're stepping on someone?


    Whitney and Bobby, again?! I'm not sure if that's a cool move. People start prayin'!



    Congratulations to Jill if she is. I did not know about the daddy and his other children. Has he truly converted to commit, or is after something else. Either way, she will be all right if things change.
