GAMan those were some great topics!!

Five things that are different about you that make you a better catch today than five years ago Maturity, decisiveness, confidence, my marriage/divorce (the experience) and the birth of my son. All of these things sparked or were changes that have allowed me to become a better person.

If you had one wish and could get back one ex from your past…which would it be and why? College Sweetheart, hands down! He still has a place in my heart! He was the best relationship I’ve had to date and all around the one I was most compatible with.

Okay I dont know if either of these will win as the new topic for today but just in case I have answered. Ya’ll know it might be noon before I can pop back in!

Morning everyone

Slim thanks for saying what I would have liked to say….we need help quick.

I just recently joined “Tagged” and have not figured out what to do on the site besides accepting and rejecting “friend’s requests”. All these sites” Face Book, Tagged, etc. are seem to be disguised dating sites. jmo I’m not sure I understand the so called quandary in this discussion topic.

GaMan

If you had one wish and could get back one ex from your past…which would it be and why?

If I had to go back to an ex it would be my ex from 4 years ago. He was a very good person, friend, and lover. We had many good times together, but I ended our relationship after three years because I felt that he would not be a dependable husband. After being with him for that period of time I was sizing him up for marriage. We both seriously discussed marriage. Although I loved him, I just could not marry him.

Five things that are different about you that make you a better catch today than five years ago

Ive grown up… i dress grown, act grown, conduct myself grown. my approach is not one-sided anymore. i actually am a lot more selfish than what i was before. yea, you read that correctly i am selfish! i subscribe to any rand’s definition of selfishness. whereas before i would not think what resources in myself were depleted to make someone else happy or whole, now i am a lot more modest in what i can actually do. i think of myself first before doing anything, or signing up to do anything for anyone….. from coming out in the rain to help change a tire to loaning you money. that make sense? to me thats grown. thinking a thing through before reacting. reactive behaviour is 9/10 times the wrong thing.

(ok. i got four more things to name and i promise 2 imma work on brevity, which is none the four imma name) :)

Good morning blogsville. WOW, don’t think we had a topic change request w/the very first post. I know nada about Facebook.

GaMan, Five things that are different about you that make you a better catch today than five years ago my marriage/divorce (learned a lot about living w/a wannabe man), have a better listening ear, manage $$ better, more adventurous, like to think I’m sexier and more mature. When I “found myself” again at the end of my marriage I found an exorbinant amount of freedom and peace of mind that helped radiate me inside and out.

**If you had one wish and could get back one ex from your past…which would it be and why? Every so often I still think of this guy I dated who worked for Marta. We had a connection that scared the both of us in and out of bed. He’s the one who simply walked away with no warning only to resurface a few months later apologizing. Oh Well!

My ex girl was sending all these BS messages and it was sketch that my professional co-worker has access to see these. My page is pretty clean, but still…I always think its a bit awkward you know.

But for the topic, I’d say that it’s not much of a quandry. If I want to keep in touch with someone, sure I’d friend them. If not, then the request gets denied. Same as real life.

Good Morning All,

Blanca I listen to NPR too and I heard the show where they talked about Facebook rules..etc. I have a facebook page and frankly I look at it on and off maybe once a week. I use it to keep intouch with my volunteer buddies but trust me it is not that deep.

Now on to the off topic-topics. Lets see..Five things that are different about you that make you a better catch today than five years ago.

If you had one wish and could get back one ex from your past…which would it be and why?

Logan, because we were more than lovers we were friends and no matter who we were with or what we were doing in our lives we always found our way back to each other. For convo or hot sex or a laugh or hot sex. It was like we grew up together.

What’s a major lesson you’ve learned, or was taught in dating that has stood the change of the times that’s still effective today?

Balance and Patience from my list abover. Relationships regard balance—give and take and a helluva alot of patience.

GAman I have another love lesson that I’m going to steal from EnVogue’s Hold On, but it’s been helpful:

Ooooohhhh, my first mistake was, I wanted too much time. I had to have him morning, noon, and night. If I would have known then the things that I know now, I might not have lost the time that I complained about. Don’t waste your time fighting blinded thoughts of despair….The art of playing games now is not the hearts you break, it’s bout the love you make when his heart’s on fire. Give him love everyday. Remember he needs space. Be patient and he’ll give his heart to you.

Cemeeli I have a question to ask you (sidebar) can you e-mail me at puridee7@yahoo.com?

On/Off Topic Five things that are different about you that make you a better catch today than five years ago.

1.) Self-esteem is really what I think about myself…LOL I’ve learned to stop looking for others to make me happy and I’m discovering my own happiness.

2.) Quick to listen, slow to speak - I use to be notorious for saying too much…especially when my opinion wasn’t even solicited…LOL

3.) Choose your battles - Like someone stated earlier, I always wanted to “win”, but sometimes “winning” is draining. Sometimes you just have to walk away and know that exerting that energy isn’t worth it.

4.) It’s ok to put myself first - I used to be the ultimate people pleaser (friends & relationships) so much so that my own wants/needs fell by the wayside. I’ve learned to balance those things now. It’s ok to think of me first and boundaries are necessary in any type relationship/friendship.

5.) I’ve learned what going with the flow really means. Every relationship isn’t “The One”…enjoy the person for the reason or season they are there…and should it end appreciate the time you had.

Interesting reaction, everyone. My friend with the facebook question is in her 40s, and most everyone at the AJC (from lowest rank to top of the chain) has a facebook account. I think people use it for a mix of personal and professional development. While I used to think of myspace and facebook as a thing “for my generation,” that’s certainly no longer true.

(And, by the way, I don’t use myspace, which I think is way too public. I prefer facebook because I can control the access to a greater degree.)

Now I’m more curious about your relationship with the cyber world. Many of you say you don’t use facebook, but you do spend a great deal of time posting anonymously on this blog. What’s kept you from venturing into social networking sites?

I’m with those that believe it’s okay to think of yourself first sometimes. I think that because I’ve gotten to my age without being totally responsible for someone else, I’ve gotten that “think of myself” thing down! I honor my commitments, but outside of that, I do exactly what I want to do and if there is something I don’t want to do, you won’t catch me doing it. I have no issues at all with saying NO, folks not about to run me in the ground. Because if they ever did, they’d just step over me and move on the next person to run down.

My sister broke a promise to me to go to the cabins with me in April, so I went alone. Her excuse was: I was invited to a surprise party and I have to be there. I’m like, it’s a surprise party, the guest of honor doesn’t even know that they are having a party, let alone that you were supposed to be coming. That chick can’t say no in English or Spanish. LOL!

I was confused and felt myself falling off but I found strength and courage to keep going even when the world around me is doubtful and the man i love acts blind to the fact..

And then you go and find En Vogue.

Girl, you are too much. Blog hug from me to you.

CEEmee sorry for the tumultuous start to your day…. you reminded me of something i saw this morning: this morning as i was leaving i noticed my asian neighbor out in his driveway which is not unusual bec he does his tae meditation every morning…. but what i had never observed before (bec this morning i was running late like a mug) was his walking mantra meditation up and down the driveway, which included him looking around and taking in the dawning day. suddenly i found myself envious of him, because i thought about what not rushing first thing in the morning, every morning must do for his psyche. and on some mornings how you came in this morning on the blog, is how i spend half my week, which translates to half the month and half the year. somethings got to give

(sorry for the long post…. on second thought, no im not. im being selfish) grin.

Many of you say you don’t use facebook, but you do spend a great deal of time posting anonymously on this blog.

Blanca I think that since most of us blog while working and we spend 8 to 10 hours at work, very few of us spend that kind of time on the computer when we get home. I sit in front of this computer all day and the blog keeps me company in between calls, emails, reports, and people generally irritating the hellz out of me.

When I get home, I have “home stuff” to attend to, I don’t have hours to spend in front of a computer. I don’t even check my home email but once or twice a week. If I want to talk to my friends, that’s usually done while stuck in traffic during my hour’s ride home, not during the little time I have at home before I have to start getting ready for the next day.

I think that pretty much breaks down why I’m not as into social networking sites as you are. I don’t have that kind of dayum time with the kind of life I have offline.

Good day to you Blanca. Can you too put your name in red so we can easily spot when you entered the room? Thanks!

No, don’t do facebook or myspace, but blogging is fun. It makes the workday go faster. The laughs are genuine, the fights are interesting and the knowledge that is spewed here can’t get from any book. Cyber chatting with folk you don’t know only through a screen whose personalities permeate the screen is quiet addictive. Here, no one is really trying to impress. Facebook and myspace, to me, are venues for a lot of falsehoods (JMO).

Alot of this online socializing is popular because people don’t have good social skills. They don’t have real life friends so they create an on-line version where they’re popular.

Networking is huge whether it is social or professional. Facebook, I’ve connected with friends that have moved all over the country. Its a means to stay in touch. Sure you can use it negatively if you’re a stalker or something…but ntworking in general is very Positive.

SexyLeggs She sure doesn’t. But she’s always been like that, even as a little girl. The whole family would get thrown under the bus if one of her friends wanted something of her. Part of my maturing process has been to accept that that’s who she is and love her regardless, so it doesn’t really upset me anymore. At least she called to check on me while I was up there.

ATL Guy, I have to presume by your words that you’re a technology neophyte or just a casual user that treats it all like a it’s a toaster. If you have no concerns over privacy and wish to waste your time with social networking, knock yourself out. As far as Facebook specifically, check current and recent litigation and other actions taken against them as far as privacy violation, tie-ins to advertisers, resulting in mass profiling, etc. The net result is a lot of spam and contribution to profiling of yourself that will ultimately be used to determine your credit worthiness, employment and insurance risk, etc. etc. If you don’t believe it or just don’t understand how that could be true, then take some Ginko or something, your brain could use a tune-up. Or, simply remain in the dark, like most people.

If you wish to stay in touch with people, then stay in touch with them. Staying in touch hasn’t to do with little snippets of typing back and forth. Emailing doesn’t really constitute ‘keeping in touch’ in any more than the most superficial of ways. Such a notion is an insult to those who might ever consider themselves to be your friends. Pay some personal attention to them instead, in the real world.

On topic I like My Space and Facebook. It keeps me in touch with my peoples. When my ex was overseas we communicated through My SPace as well as phone calls. But also I get to show my creative side and make possible new associates to get where I am going in my career. Now am I on there looking for a boyfriend/husband….no. But I met my ex online and I have no regrets. I am glad he contacted me. I also like My Soace for checking the music overseas since a lot of the stuff now is this garbage they call hip-hop.

I’m not a hermit or anything. Again, people might just live on it instead of getting out, I don’t know. But, I use it for more arranging or staying in touch with friends elsewhere.

The other topic:

What’s a major lesson you’ve learned, or was taught in dating that has stood the change of the times that’s still effective today?

I have a weird sense of honor weird in that it’s a lot different from what happens today but I’ve learned not to hold anyone accountable to the standards that I hold myself to.

The other thing is that I take people as they are, not what I wish them to be. That is, you could be my friend, and I could still not trust you in my house alone. But we can kick it, becuase other than your clepto issues, you’re cool.

So effectively, I’ve changed how I interact with the rest of the world, so that I don’t view anyone from my perspective, but try and see theirs.

Using Facebook like an evite just gets all your guests a bunch of spam, I’m sure they appreciate it. It verifies current email addresses for the spammers that such outfits sell information to. Selling of information is a major revenue stream for them. You don’t really think they survive off of advertising alone, do you? Perhaps they simply provide service with good and honest intentions for the betterment of humanity as a whole? Come on.

Credit worthiness has not only to do with ability to repay debts, just like employability or insurability. It’s all about perceived risk, and factors that play out in actuarial fashion. You can be identified by name within 7 clicks or less, there is no anonymity. Like I said, deny it or don’t understand, or get smart about it, your choice.

But mention a relationship they act as if you have just been blasphemous! “Girl I don’t know you like that”! But as soon as they begin to itch or she pops up pregnant will they wonder why they did not think of those same words as common sense to be appplied when being led by their lil’ heads? Other than how they use them to escape a commitment? Funny how you can only know a girl for a hour but sleep with her…but you can be with a girl for months and still have a problem with a relationship! HMMM!

Foots I do want to learn more recipes. I have been learning how to cook all over again once I changed my eating lifestyle. Some of my things I have learned to make lower in fat. But some things can’t be sustituted such as baked Mac & Cheese. So if a guy asks me to cook I would let him know he may not like it because I had to grow accustomed to it.

What do you think about a guy not being responsible for child support in cases like that?

I don’t even know. She’s wrong if that’s what she’s doing, but the responsibility is on both of their parts. If he didn’t want the possibility of having a baby, he could have used protection. It’s fine to think of what should be done regarding child support in the abstract, but when a baby is here and crying, you have to put the abstract aside for the reality of the child.

Dude is crazy, no doubt, and he has to pay for his irresponsibility. Hopefully he learned a few things.

That lady just need to be a foster parent instead of bringing more kids into the world. That way, she can get checks for kids that are already here that actually need homes. Please don’t try this at home…

Cee Gas is too high to be texting?? LMAO!! Girl, I use that gas is high excuse for everything.

Kym/SexyLeggs Since I had the laser eye surgery, I can’t really wake up suddenly unless I wanna be in tongue-swallowing pain for about 5 seconds. Seriously. I had to learn to be awake for a little while before I open my eyes, so that they have time to water a little and unbind. It’s like ripping a band-aid off of my eye if I don’t. After I wake up, my eyes will water off and on all day. Only bad side effect so far. Can’t believe it’s almost been 1.5 years since the surgery…

It is a bit curious how people whine and cry about their Facebook, MySpace, and whatnot. Content management systems block such sites as “Personals and Dating” (for children). I’m in the business, and haven’t seen a valid documented business case for allowing access to them from corporate networks yet, in spite of the teeth gnashing. They’re similar to IM use in corporate networks, 90% or more is strictly for personal use, with rather severe privacy and security risks.

That is real life as far as stuff like that goes. The more you whine about it, the more people like me see through your unsubstantiated rationale.

And, if you can’t differentiate between a so-called blog like this (it’s a rather old-fashioned forum that’s used a a chatroom, for the most part) then there’s nothing to be posted here that will enlighten you, sorry.

I totally agree with you. I think its all a networking tool etc. Nothiing more, but sometimes people try to make it more. Its like back when blackplanet existed. People put up pics but when you met them in person, whole nother game. That may even be going on here. Everyone thinks highly of themselves in life. Its always interesting to see how cyber people look for real. Some of us in the world could be in for a rude awakening….But the whole world is online so its all good.

I’m not offended, ATL Guy, you can accept or reject my input on face value, it’s perfectly OK. I invite people to get togethers at my house in person or over the phone, individually, or if a more formal event, by snail-mailed invitation. Personal attention is valued by people, it shows you care enough about them to invite them in a nice way. BTW, I tend to avoid calling such get togethers parties, as that tends to indicate that inebriation is a priority for the event, and I don’t want a bunch of drunks around… not that my friends and acquaintances would be so inclined, but still.

Speaking of video games, can anyone recommend a good chess program for XBox 360? Not the one on XBox live, that one kinda sux. I’d like one that I could practice standard and classic openings and closings — for chess games with actual people, in person, of course! Ha!

And for me IM’ing is not myspace or facebook or blackplanet. and ecards, evites, all dat should not be utilized because you will be spammed to death. and if you do, then set up a dummy e-ccount.the email addy i use to post here (bbq_sunflwr) is not my real e-addy…. but i recognize that nothing changes my ip addy, so i still have to proceed with caution.

seriously, i signed up on youtube cause i wanted to see the Tibet footage that wasnt making it to CNN and foxnews and you will get spammed doing that but its a small price to pay to be in the ‘know’… plus i know how to ignore, ignore, ignore. and it troubles me not to do so.

ABC Right I can see your Input. When you’re trying to get 20+ people together…this is the easiest way to coordinate who can make it etc. I call most of them personally between the time of the Invite and the Event.

Honestly, to say you don’t do “Get Togethers” because people being inebriation as a priority is kind of ludacris don’t you think!? The priority is having fun together, nothing about being sloppy drunk off alcohol. Regardless, people drive home so responsible enough that won’t even be a factor.

Morning Everyone, Blanca I hear what your saying, but I have to agree with Foots 10:21post and SexyLeggs 1029post.

We’re here to pass time with our workday and Cyber chatting with folk you don’t know only through a screen whose personalities permeate the screen is quiet addictive. Here, no one is really trying to impress.…its fun too!

And, I actually have to agree with whoever said that LinkedIn is where it’s at…network connections, way to go!

abc, you sound like one of my girlfriends whose hubby is the network engineer that we all rely on when our ‘puters break down…lol! She’s constantly warns us about hackers/viruses and how they can flat out wipe your hard drive clean. I heed your warnings as much as I possibly can.

Now, on GAMan topic:

What’s a major lesson you’ve learned, or was taught in dating that has stood the change of the times that’s still effective today?…

1) I believe someone said this the other day, I had to learn to not turn my back and bolt. I had to learn that sometimes, not always, but sometimes all that was needed was simple communication to work it out. With that, I learned to have a little more patience. I also learned about setting expectations on folks, people will disappoint you everytime. Not to say that you shouldn’t have normal expectations (i.e., respect..etc.).

On/Off Topic Five things that are different about you that make you a better catch today than five years ago.

1) Focused - More focused on goals and actually accomplishing them.

2) SexyLegs..When I found myself again at the end of my marriage I found an exorbinant amount of freedom and peace of mind that helped radiate me inside and out…I totally agree with you on this, it happened the same way for me.

3) That in itself, among other things matured me rather quickly which brings me to…4) knowing exactly what I want.

5) And, like someone else said earlier, my cooking library has expanded (gourmet…it soothes me) and with that, after a real man’s belly is full with a good healthy gourmet/soulfood/italian..etc. dish; well, I’m sure you get the pic (that has improved as well).

If you had one wish and could get back one ex from your past…which would it be and why?…oh, that would be this sweetheart who bless his heart, hung in there like a champ while I was going thru my divorce. But, to this day, I would follow that man to the ends of the earth, he had the sweetest disposition, loved kids and had a huge heart. He was short, dark/handsome and sexy as hellz (you ever have this one person who you moved an entire house, I mean literally move the house) when you had sex…dang! it was hot…lol! But, don’t sleep on a brutha, cause you couldn’t cross him or anyone who meant anything to him (there was a side to him that I had only seen once), if I could find him. I moved and we’ve lost touch. But, that was something he had said that he never wanted to do no matter what was going on in our lives. sigh…

I said I don’t call them ‘parties’. Rather, a celebration, a cookout, a social, lawn sports tournament, like that. When you say ‘party’ it implies the word’s use as a verb, and I don’t want to imply that. I typically don’t enjoy people who ‘party’ as its use as a verb implies.

Good chess players are often the most seemingly unlikely people, I wouldn’t endorse or discount your prowess based on other things.

Now I don’t know all of the intimate details, but it seems they would meet a local hotel and they hang out for the weekend or alternate weekends over a few weeks/months. That would explain the no-kids being around.

My cousin is 32 the chick is 29 (but who really knows). But to his defense he is “manning up” taking responsiblity for his role in it all.

From my understanding, he picks up his son on Friday nite and stays with one of our relatives until Sunday and returns the baby on his way back home. Very little contact with the girl. He makes sure that the money goes to her and that he fosters a relationship with his son. Which is admirable, at least to me.

The idea of letting a man be a man is not the same as lay down and let him walk over you. It is about letting him fulfill his traditional role as breadwinner and head of household without having a cackling hen at his side pecking and criticizing his every decision and asking him to complete tasks and then complaining about how they’re done. It’s about trusting him to do the right thing (when you know he will, of course) instead of leading him around by a ring in his nose.

As far as we have come as a society, we really need to just start over and go back to basics. I am a woman. Women need to start being women again— let him lift you up mentally, spiritually, emotionally and physically. Let him be the breadwinner, be the head of your household— in essence, be a man. I can do almost anything a man can do but why would I want to? It’s a partnership and men and women have roles— as traditional as that sounds, I believe it. We have the opportunity to not dumb-down relationships but so often, we go for the cheap thrill and it’s tearing Black families apart. It kind of makes me sick.

I love being a woman and letting my boyfriend do what he is supposed to do. Pull out my chair, open my car door, send me my favorite flower just because. Leave a post-it note in my luggage with my plane ticket telling me he loves me. Courting me the right way… Maybe I am too optimistic but men need to stop being coddled and start being men. Technically I could do everything he could do…hell, I might even do it better…but I have expectations for him, I have needs and wants that transcend beyond gender roles… Sometimes I just like being doted on, being loved and held, being respected but at the same time RESPECTING YOU. Not having to put up a ‘strong front’ of independence to prove that I’m capable of being superwoman. Not hiding my emotions from men because I need them to RESPECT me. I show vulnerability… hope, hapiness, warmth. I’m approachable but sexy. Isn’t that how it should be??

Kinder My tank holds 22 gallons and at 4 bucks/gallon that’s 88 dollars. The sad part is I don’t even get 300 miles to a tank. I’m sorry, my eyes started watering when I did the math. That’s why I park that thing and if it’s not code 1 priority I don’t go. I am turning into a true hermit.

Melo can sexx with a condom be considered or really turn out to be Hot Hell to the know. Folks act like it’s good but it isn’t. The first time you get some real wet wet it’s wrap. Personally I’d rather not have sex than wear a condom. My .02.

@Utopia

A lot of how you would feel about doing a solo vacation gig depends on how comfortable you are with yourself…I am a loner by nature and I spend a lot of time doing things by myself…I am fine with eating out by myself, doing movies or some other activity alone…but some ppl are not very comfortable with a solo outing or activity…maybe some place where you have various diversions of interest to you (dining out, shopping, spa treatments, casual mingle joints), then you will have more options for single or mingle activities.

Afternoon Blog Okay, how about today is our annual Indoor Picnic. 2 ladies brought baked beans that I would not feed my dog if I had one. One’s feelings is so easily hurt, so me & a coworker went and dipped out about 2 big cupfuls and threw them in the dumpster. Sure enough, the sensitive one came over and was so pleased that her beans were being “eaten”. I’ve had to do nothing but mediate and babysit a bunch of grown women that are older than me! Is it a full moon today? I gotta be a psychologist, a mediator, an attorney, a mama & a kindergarten teacher. Can’t I just be a manager/financial analyst like I’m supposed to be?

Okay, did Fallon put it down, or what? Tell it, Sister, I agree with every word you wrote. That’s how I feel a relationship should go, and for the 1st time for me, it is. And for the 1st time, it’s working:)!

Testing the bolded name…Hope the red works!

Beautiful Facebook and Myspace are fairly different, in my opinion. Myspace was designed as a public page in which people can post the “world of me.” (Now they can have private pages, but their photo still pops up to the regular viewer.)

I didn’t know much about facebook until a year or so ago, when I decided to join after a number of friends encouraged it. With facebook, you have to approve a friendship in order for the person to see your information. I use it mostly to keep in contact with my college buddies; lots of them are performers around the world and I like seeing where life has taken them, even if we only speak every several months.

As far as meeting new friends on facebook…in my experience, the strangers who have requested friendship don’t actually engage in back and forth. I think they just like to have their friend roster fairly high, either for their self-esteem or perhaps for a marketing tool. (You can then receive spam about events, etc.)

As far as meeting people online…that’s how I met the crazy crying on my living room floor guy. (Monday’s blog.) I think I’m done with that for a long while, but I know others have had better luck!

Utopia What was experience doing the solo trip or is that something you frequently do?

I agree with MKaryl. You have to really enjoy your own company. I am a person who like solitude, so those types of trips are fine with me. I’ve been to Mexico and the Bahamas alone, and I liked being able to do my own thing. I made friends when I got there and there were people who looked out for me and made sure they saw me at least once a day at the hotel (if not, they would alert the staff and authorities). Though, I wouldn’t go to the Bahamas again by myself. It’s a different experience when the men look like you and speak the same language, you can’t get much peace. Mexico was awesome though.

I have also done retreats in town, which are really cool. You can stay at a bed and breakfast (I absolutely love Laurel Hill B&B out by Fernbank http://www.laurelhillbandb.com/. Pure serenity, beautiful rooms, and they cook their tails off!!), plan a spa treatment (I did Natural Body) in the Highlands, and eat at a few of those spots around there. You can visit Fernbank. Just make a whole day of it.

The cabin thing was a little boring to be honest though. I couldn’t be outside just walking around like I planned because it rained the whole time. But it was relaxing to just sit on the porch or in the Jacuzzi and listen to nature sounds.

So go for it, it could be just what you need to relax.

I would be too wild for your get-together anyways. Also, I do have Chess Skillz so watch out!

TheTruth I see what you’re saying how games do help you learn…true, but keeps kids not exercising and intraverted in many ways (exception of the Wii Fit). You know in Tokyo Japan…girl’s will pay money to go to a bar and sit down with guy’s who work there to have social conversation. Attractive girls do this. I mean that society its rude to talk to people on the subway. Are Americans going that direction!?

Yes, a person would have to be comfortable with self to be alone and still be able to enjoy self alone.

ATL Guy Americans have the notion of “personal space”, which some other cultures do not. When you are in a country like Japan that has a high population and not a lot of space, there is no such thing as personal space. Everybody has to share the space. I haven’t been to Europe yet, but maybe their friendliness has to do with their more liberal alcohol policies, less uptight. Just guessin… LOL

In Japan, it’s rude to be loud. We studied about their culture before we went, but one of my friends didn’t (or she forgot). She laughed out loud in a restaurant and the locals looked like they wanted to stone her. I wanted to stone her. Too embarrassing. But I have never seen a whole subway or train station or mall so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. Or streets so clean without visible trash cans. wow…

Funny what one can define as personal space…I had a friend whose family was originally from the ATL metro area, but his father was a business exec in Japan. He grew up in Japanese culture and when he returned to GA at 17 for college (GA Tech), he experienced a culture shock…he found Americans to be loud, rude, uncouth, etc compared to the social comportments of ppl in Japan…speaking of loud…I had a guy on the bus, sitting directly behind me…he was talking so loud on his cellie that the dead from 2 centuries ago could hear his arse…

She picked up some kinda disease on a trip to Mexico a few weeks ago and has been running back & forth to the doctor for tests. Me a few others just decided to do a preemptive strike to keep the peace, thus the beans incident.

Yes, it is a bit harder managing women, especially ALL women. When I’ve had a nice mix things have worked out better. There are 2 guys under the other manager I work with in the group & they are so cool & laid back. They are just all about coming in and doing the work & don’t get caught up in office politics all the time, which is like me & our director. Just come in & do the da— work please!

FooTs Yeah you’re on point. Japan is a collective society. Everyone must f******* as a whole where its not individualistic. Its a shame base society where America is a Guilt base society. I think just many Americans are just so busy they don’t take the time to really let the guard down sometimes. Countries I’ve been to where money or work isn’t so priority…they seem to really embrace other people easier.

It bothers me though when I travel with Americans and they don’t want to take the time to integrate to the culture they are in. As someone told me in Peru “Americans come to visit our country, why do we have to speak English” I agree, people come here, we expect them to speak English. Should be vice versa.

Stupidest woman I’ve ever come across was in a Hotel in Mexico where she was American yelling at the Mexican clerk (5 star hotel) about bill being in Pesos…she said “if you don’t change this to dollars I will have you Deported!!!” I’m like WTF!?!? What an embarrassment. I told her, she might be the one deported, you’re in the Mexican woman’s country, idiot!

LMAO!! Oh wow!! I really had to cut back on my cell phone usage in public. Technically, it’s our right to use phones in public, but sometimes you have to remember that your conversation may be interrupting somebody else’s thoughts. What gets me is when people are profane when on the phone in public. That’s really rude.

I’m sure he did have a culture shock. We’re so all about self over here, while others are more about community as a whole. That thing that the Japanese have about quiet would work over here for about 5 seconds. It was so beautiful to see it there though, but we found ourselves naturally whispering and carrying around our trash all day cause we couldn’t find the doggone trash cans. LOL

Speaking of talking loud, just had a flashback of me being a little tipsy at home the other night…I kept asking my boyfriend if I was talking loud. I asked him like four times in one conversation. LOL!! I have no volume control if I’m tipsy.

ATL Guy, you’re being absurd with the reference to drinking at children’s parties, of course, but I’ve witnessed exactly that kind of behavior at exactly those kinds of engagements. Drunk and bickering moms are a sorry sight.

Nobody would ever characterize a social gathering at my house as ‘wild’, that’s for sure. That’s really my point: such engagements aren’t for ‘partying’. The people invited will enjoy themselves in more worthwhile pursuits than inebriation. A glass of wine, a nice beer or two, sure… that’s not ‘partying’. You rather endorse the point I’m trying to make with feedback like that.

ATLGuy We have to change this “I’m an American so I get entitlement” attitude with International Travels

I remember getting ready to go to Rio and reading up everything I could about it. Everybody said to learn a little Portuguese because they don’t speak English. Not that they can’t, but they don’t. You have to ask for menus that are not in Portuguese, and some restaurants didn’t even have them. Being American, we assume that every place will cater to us, but so not true. I don’t think there was an English sign in the airport.

Me and my friend were struggling with my translation book, a menu and a waiter for about minutes, since I was determined to speak in Portuguese but kept gettting some words wrong. The Brazilian lady next to us was watching the exchange each time the waiter came back trying to hold back laughter. When she finally offered to help, in perfect English, and explained to the waiter what we were trying to say in Portuguese, I was like “Heffa, why didn’t you say something twenty minutes ago? We hungry!!” LOL

We had a Pool party with music, cooking out, having drinks, relaxing, games in the pool, socializing…having a good time. No one was Drunk. So I’m not sure how you draw the line as the defining difference of party or get-together.

Then one time, I put both showers on cool and ran out and jumped in the hot Jacuzzi. The things you do entertain yourself! LOL

As much as I like quiet (I can be home all day with no TV and no radio and like it just fine), I was cursed with a boyfriend who turns on the doggone TV as soon as he opens his eyes in the morning.

I was born and raised in the south, however I’ve been in NYC a long time and lived losts of places state side. Not until I moved here was I introduced to the kiss on the check and of course in Europe. Like ATLguy I like it, its personable. So I can somewhat stand on the line with it(i’m sure that’s not fair) but I have such a mix of culture and traditions within me that I recognize…I take a bit of it all….and its me.

I would not pay for a refreshing conversation however to just open ones eyes to how amazing this world is with so any different cultures and ways they got about things.

Sidelines that would not play for me. I got it in an email this morning.But I’m dying to hear it.

Marla again he was blinded by the puddy! No way I’m giving my goods to a dude when I can’t go to his crib and we have to do hotels (Cause Staceye don’t do motels)! LOL

2C WTF is an “E-Thug”? LOL

Marla A Suburban..OUCH! Girl you are SOL. I now Appreciate my Grand Prix…i can use regular gas. HOw about these folks with luxury cars with match high azz note and insurance to go along with it. Oh on top of that they have to use premium gas! Suck azz don’t it? LOL

it’s hump day and i have no one to hump Oh hot dayyyum Beautiful! That was too funny!

I agree with the bad mouthing of meeting new friends on the internet. You could meet them anywhere..this is just the lazy way to do it! LOL I met one of my closest homegirls on My Space when she was new to town. Hey it the way to make friends before you even get here. It could be for business or friendship. I met a girl at the airport who is from MI and it trying to move here. I gave her my number and told her she could call me if she had in questions (apartments, car, job, etc.) I know lots of people. I’m just major friendly!

if i see that you have money, a car or booty/t* on yo page, denied* girl me too. Don’t forget the picture wiht the middle finger or you holding a glock! No thanks buddy!

Kym my girl works for Goldman SSachs back home and she said the bankers predict $200 a barrel. I am in finance as well, but in healthcare I am seeing mergers and buy outs in my industry as well. Cancer meds are costing $100,000 + a year. Having family who died from cancer I would hate to see patients denied treatment due to lack of funds. But it sees to be headed that way. Expect health insurance to go up. It could be via your co-pay, deductible or just how much comes from your check to cover yearly expenses.

Foots may I suggest a long walk now! Hey…you clear your thought and burn calories instead of gas! LOL

2 Cents where did you stay in Negril? My girls and I did the same thing. Did you cliff dive at Rick’s? Idid…I wouldn’t recommend it! OUCH! Flashbacks!

If you had one wish and could get back one ex from your past…which would it be and why? That would be the one I chilled with this past weekend. He will always have my heart! Even when he is overseas. Ok..Staceye had a mushy moment! Now back to business as usual. Wait…did I just express an emotion other than cynicism? Wow…hell is officially getting a snow day! LOL

Blanca, b4 this blog closes for the day can we see your name in red?

Then she’d be Roja not Blanca. j/k

It seems that you guys have been all over the place….so what else is new

Those complaining about MARTA not going outside the perimeter should thank the people that lived in your county when it was on the ballot in the past.

I know that Cobb has voted it down repeatedly. With Cobb saying no, The West Railine can’t go beyond Hamilton Holmes f/k/a Hightower because the Cobb County line is at 285 and I-20.

I grew up in Clayton County and I know that Clayton voted it down at least three times when I was growing up. MARTA doesn’t go much further south than the State Farmers Market and Lake City.

Gwinnett has it on the ballot next week. The vote is non-binding but there is a proposal to extend the Doraville line up to the Arena at Gwinnett Center with at least one station (maybe 2) in Norcross.

Those voters that did not want it are partly to blame for the limits on MARTA. Its one of the biggest reasons that we moved into the city. Rise in gas prices were foreseeable.

..Oh Yeah…Welcome Blanca!

I’ve been busy and attended the Obama rally yesterday. Something about Vernon Jones just irks me. If there is some controversy, he seems to be in the mix somehow.

My boy in Panama got some fine chick for like $10 us in the early 80’s. He also got crabs though. The thing I remember is the cops are hanging out in the ho house drinking and chilling. LMAO

In amsterdam it was more but I can’t remember the amount. There it was a full fledged business.

In germany we had a ho house about 2 miles from our base. If I can remember the cost was like $100 marks or $30 bux. Not that I used those services. Naw really

For you world travellers, the magic isn’t going to see the sites, although they are great. The real beauty is meeting the locals and letting them show you around.

Yeah…imma let ALL Y’ALL keep having them babies and I’ll stay Auntie Cee. If I was having a baby right now I’d be crying some real fat n’ raggedy crocodile tears just on the fact that baby items like that are a definite need just like gas/oil to get around.

LMAO My dogs refuse to ride with me anymore because I won’t turn on the ac unless the temp is close to hell. One day they threatened to bite me if I din’t turn it on.

Poppa are you fluent in Spanish yet? Let me respond in spanish. “Hell no”. I got a little frustrated a few times with the progress. That course does no english translating at all. you really think in spanish which is cool for learning words but when you have to put it together it gets alot harder. I need someone I can call and ask questions. I’m still trudging along but not as fast as before. Overall though the course is good. I’d still recommend it. I might as well since i paid for the course. LOL

Atl guy they do like americans because we have money, can get them in the country, and we love azz. I can’t tell you how many women married soldiers to get here and then bounced. I’m thinking about being a mail order husband. i’ll marry some foreign hooker for $10,000-$50,000 and then when she gets settled in divorce her and do it again.

Ok i have the ULTIMATE Facebook NONO! My baby’s daddy conacted my older kids(age 15 & 16) to tell them that he needed to talk to me! his son has not heard from him for 9.5 of the 10 years that he has been on this earth and he does not pay child support! He does not work and he never will(he now depends on disability to take care of him either that or the older Sugar Daddies like the one that helped him to move out of state)!

Both of my kids closed their accounts down becasue they want nothing to do wiht him our breakup was very ugly and he involved the kids in that mess!

Okay that is the Ultimate NONO to me!!!
