Morning All and Happy Friday!

Great ideas Wise Diva. I won’t be doing anything special this weekend. Just taking time to unpack etc from my past trip and getting ready to go out of town again. Oh and I’ll be watching the all-star events Saturday evening.

I would like to get a pair of those pink boxing gloves though.

Morning Looks like it’s all set to be a beautiful day. I’ll definitely be out and about at lunch.

On-topic Boxing sounds like a good idea. I need pics of the ex’s or anything, but I wouldn’t mind hooking up with a nice girl who knows how to land a punch.

I don’t celebrate v-day, so any prospects already know that spending time with me tomorrow isn’t any more/less special than spending time with me on Tuesday or any other random day. So, I won’t have to worry about how a prospect perceives going to brunch vs going to dinner, etc. We’ll just enjoy our outing like we always do, knowing that it has nothing to do with valentine’s day.

I’ll piggyback with Dreams I don’t celebrate V day either never did, even when I was married, guess it’s the way I was brought up. As for punching a photo of an ex I’m all game for that!

Good Morning Tazzee.

As for our plans for tomorrow, a little bit of something and a lot of nothing. We did talk before leaving the house this morning about maybe getting up going somewhere for breakfast. Or more like brunch. He offered to cook breakfast if that’s what I want. Right now it really doesn’t matter. I will probably suggest later going to see a movie on the big screen.

I just hate I will not be attending my friend’s wedding. Because that was what we had initially planned to do, since I can’t we will just something here together.

…Morning loves…

Centennial Park is beautiful anytime of the day!…There are “love birds” hanging out on the lawn, benches, and hugged up, down there before the night gets crunk.

PG I was sent downtown to Radio One on Marietta St. and was given a package. The package included a Alvin Alley postcard with a picture of Art Director Judith Jameson…very nice. I need an odd size frame to put it in. i enjoyed getting the A.A picture more than anything.

Tazzee It will be 24 hours of basketball in my spot (starting this evening). I got the boy a t-shirt for V-day and a cookie cake from our Cafe’ here at work. He has an 11:00 game tomorrow, and after that back to viewing the All-Star events.

GO HOWARD!!

What do you do for Valentine’s Day if you have 2 prospects? Who gets your time, flowers, candy, dinner, attention since its on a Saturday - that’s prime date night. Do you just take somebody to brunch and let them go to make room for your later plans? So, what say you, multi-daters, is the weekend going to be tricky for you?

Who gets your time - they both get time.. If you are playing the game fair then they both should know there is someone else that you are seeing…now one gets breakfast/brunch and a day time event..the other gets dinner and a night time event…no one gets flower or candies..period

Those are some excellent suggestions for anyone who is looking for a weekend activity…nontraditional and out of the box.

I will probably do my ususal…go hang out at Applebee’s…lol…I prefer locally owned places, but this one has a good list of regulars and an overall good mix of customer floating through…a few weeks ago, I had a blast with some younger brothers and sisters I encountered up there…a great conversational group of strangers with few degrees of separation…one dude that comes up there is actually from the ATL…so we all just was like cool colored kicking it…never did that much in the ATL…always tried to avoid establishments with too many of my folks…lol…but I have found quite a more down to earth mix here…and quite few more sisters who, like me, do not mind going out by themselves nor are they looking for a man/husband when they do…and the brothers are more sociable and less predatory…lol…so that may just be my outing tomorrow night.

M’Karyl Hey you’re welcome. Let me know how you like it. BTW, it doesn’t HAVE to be cedar wood. If you like the flavor from a different kind of wood, then go for what you know.

Drunk Man I like going to those wine tastings, partly because of all the drank available, but also because I like to people watch and laugh at alot of the people who act like connoisseurs but really don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. It’s even more fun when you’re with someone and the alcohol starts to get to you.

wow great suggestions for those who need to escape the fact that they arent in a relationship. if you arent in relationship and want to be, what is it about you that is preventing that from happening? and what are you going to do about it ?? how about spending v-day reflecting on that?? ppl cant get to that third level of ‘know thy self’ cause the second level is too scary. thats something to be pitied.

plus, v-day is an out for men wit agendas like rells… they only have to come through on one day out the year and they women choose to believe they are ‘loved’for the rest of the time. and even more pitiable situation.

Been there…seen that…wine is a very broad-based subject…and there are so many levels that a person can have to appreciate it from a simple palate understanding to a complex one…many layers on interest…but it is a hoot to listen to ppl who believe themselves to be connoisseurs add their flatulated .02…lol…I am knowledgable about basics…but definitely not a connoisseurs…big difference.

Similac a strong owner with no leash is better than a weak owner with a strong leash. We have a chick in our club that owns a 110 lb dog and she’s about 135. She can make that dog do anything to include run up to you and NOT bite you, then call him back. Its not the dog but the owner thats most important.

Last year we had heart-shapped pasta with sauce, pink champagne, and heart-shapped cookies.

We have a blast. No pettiness, anger, bashing the exes, crying about being single, etc. Just some friends getting together for fun.

Ofcourse on Valentines day,let him wear the kitchen apron and bring u breakfast in bed.This is ur time to shine!

Morning Blog and Happy V-Day in advance!

One of my employees is in the hospital, since last night, to give birth to her baby boy! They are expecting him to be 9 pounds. She has a 18 month daughter and 10 & 12 year old step-daughters. Welcome to the world Trey!!!

SO and I are going to go to dinner and a movie to avoid the rush tomorrow. His mom is keeping the kids. We were supposed to test for our orange belts tomorrow, but we are not ready so we’ll do it next month. His basement is finished so we’ll probably spend the rest of the weekend moving all the stuff back in it from the garage. So exciting, I know.

Did any of you all listen to the panel of both ladies & men on V103 this morning? Interesting.

On topic: Swiss Miss is running a half marathon in the AM, so I’ll be pampering her in the PM — putting on my chef’s hat & cooking a nice dinner, some good wine I’ve been saving, a nice, relaxing massage, maybe a bubble bath… and then the baby-making. LOL

For white folks, it usually your redneck, hillybilly type cousins. Same behavior at family functions.

We all got em somewhere down the line. lol

One guy was complaining that women give men things they did not need. When asked to elaborate, he said his fiance’ worked 2 jobs and when she did get time off she did not spend it with him.

as general rule if I ask a chick out and my offer doesnt trump any others she may have then we’re dead in the water. The key to dating happiness is only deal with those that see value in your product.

Truth, you’re right. We are dead in the water. If you aren’t thinking of me until 12 hours before you want to see me, you don’t see value in my product anyway.

Happiness in dating for me works with people who value my person, as well as my time.

If I’m free, you get my time, if I’m not, I’m not going to jump thru hoops just because you thought of me in conjunction with your morning wood.

My neighbor behind me has one of those wack azz sloping backyards so they have a company come in and build a concrete wall to level out the yard. Nice looking wall. They spend a week buidling it and when they start loading the dirt in the wall collapses. This is some funny shyt. 30 minutes later they had all left. They’re back now but I cant wait to see if this wall holds up.

A little education for the masses:

Personal hygiene left much room for improvement. As a result, many women and men had developed acne scars by adulthood. The women would spread bee’s wax over their facial skin to smooth out their complexions. When they were speaking to each other, if a woman began to stare at another woman’s face she was told, ‘mind your own bee’s wax.’ Should the woman smile, the wax would crack, hence the term ‘crack a smile’. In addition, when they sat too close to the fire, the wax would melt … Therefore, the expression ‘losing face.’

I do know my Son’s grandfather thinks Eharmony is the best thing going.

Shelby - older people are gonna think this because eharmony matches you up based solely on compatibility. You get no say so in physical appearance.

I was curious about eharmony, so I filled out the free form just to see what it says. I got 8 or 9 matches, no photos. Each guy was 5’7” or shorter. I’m 5’11” and that wasn’t gonna work for me. I’m gonna need to see what you look like and be taller than a leprechaun. lol. I think if I had paid, I could have seen their pics.

But eharmony says the physical doesn’t speak to true compatablilty so they don’t factor it in. And they select ALL your matches for you. At least with match, you can select the people who catch your eye, for whatever reason.

Ok to MELO I dont like to bring up my personal beliefs on blogs or in chatrooms, but MELO, Im about to uproot some of your disbeliefs or your non-beliefs in my God.

First, I and my 7 yrs old son transferred here with my job on last year, Got laid off 3 months later, was out of work for a year, My rent was never late, My car was able to stay in its parking space (no repo), I never received a shut off notice for not one bill, including the luxury cable and internet, me and my son ate without foodstamps (not to say they are bad) but we ate, cuz I still have hips and legs to prove it.) I even was able to help my sister with her bills) I had no more savings, but God opened doors, touched people hearts, and even wiped some of my bills with payments I didnt make, and still dont know who made them) and not one bill collector called my phone! Then the same job who laid me off, called me back.. even though they are laying me off again.. God got me! He sustained me until my work picked back up. and he will do it again.

So with that, I know the hand of God because I Seek his face daily. Success is not defined by how much you have.. it is defined by how very little you need.

I serve A God who’s promises and word does not return unto me void. never has, and never will.

And Dreams I live in Austell… He had all good days, teacher didnt have to speak to him and he participates well..

*SHELBY SHEA *

I sometimes belong to both. They each have pluses and minuses. eHarmony - more expensive, seems to have more educated group, it takes some effort to go thru the profile (the so-called matching criteria), the process tends to go really slow because you have procedures in their “guided communications” that make you and your matches go back and forth for awhile before actually directly communicating (unless you opt for “fast track”). I have had good experiences with it (almost got married twice). I do get the perception that there are many more ladies than men. I get maybe 20 or so matches a week (I must be the dating equivalent of O+ blood or vanilla ice cream or something), while the ladies seem to only get 1 or 2 a week.

Match, the pluses are you can connect immediately, you can peruse thru all or screen for criteria (size, weight, height, age, etc.), more to choose from. You decide more of who you think you want, i.e. looks, etc, and less upon some real or imaginary matching criteria. A little less emphasis on spiritual beliefs maybe (plus or minus I suppose). Minuses, you seem to see a lot of the same people, week after week, month after month, and even year after year. It seems that once they compile a list of who they think you are compatible with, the list does not change or very little regardless of how long you are a member.

Both work well for my temperament. I’m not much of a lounge lizard so I really do not enjoy the bar scene pickup, or the gym scene (built more for comfort than speed). I do however write well, and equally important “read” well, so they naturally fit my style.

I think that the two compliment each other, but I think I like eHarmony the best.

Fee glad your keeping your head up about this. Things will work out.

More info:

As incredible as it sounds, men and women took baths only twice a year (May and October) Women kept their hair covered, while men shaved their heads (because of lice and bugs) and wore wigs. Wealthy men could afford good wigs made from wool. They couldn’t wash the wigs, so to clean them they would carve out a loaf of bread, put the wig in the shell, and bake it for 30 minutes. The heat would make the wig big and fluffy, hence the term ‘big wig.’ Today we often use the term ‘here comes the Big Wig’ because someone appears to be or is powerful and wealthy.

But if you some how gotten to know a guy and he was what you would call “perfect” in all areas except height. Do you pass him up because his physical attributes don’t…. Measure up lol ? Personally we all have perferences and we like what we like BUT if his height is bothering you so much so that you would be willing tolet him go inspite of his “perfectnessness” then maybe you should look within ‘cause that’s where the issue lies…with you. It teeters that grey area between being superficial(from another’s view) or being true to yourself.

Would you really let something he had no control of be the cause of letting him go?…..I’m sure there are a plethora of reasons but height….hmmmm.

Shelby, no I don’t pass him up but it’s never happened to me. Short guys approach all the time but are usually insecure about their stature and therefore don’t get very far with me.

5’10” is the shortest I’ve dated, I wouldn’t rule a good man out, but the shorties have simply never stepped it up. Probably best for both of us.

After reading someof the comments about eHarmony. I find myself wondering if the men who join eHarmony often do not put in their pics. Most of the women do have pics, and if they do not, I do not respond at all (as shallow as the next guy about a pretty face). I guess over the years I have had close to 1000 matches, maybe 900 with pictures (their addition not mine, they keep tabs), so I can wean out the (how can I be PC here), somewhat “appearance challenged” ones without ever getting entangled.

Funny story. I was working on a power plant project out of town and coming in on the weekends. My best friend Craig is 6’6” tall, so he naturally likes taller women also. I had an account with Match, so he asked me to do a search for taller single women in ATL. So I set the criteria, height (5’10” or above), age, body type, etc. One of the “hits” was DanainATL (her screen name). She was a 6’ blonde with a really nice Glamour shots pic or two. Like most men, I immediately looked at the pictures first. Finally I started reading the profile. It started out this way, “READ MY NARRATIVE FIRST BEFORE EMAILING ME…I AM A TRANSEXUAL” He/she/it, had a great sense of humor, and seemed to at least as pretty as 70% of the ladies I had dated, and 100% of the ladies in Jackson County AL. Craig nor I had any desire to jump the fence, but the guy/gal/whatever did have great pictures. Weird!!!! It was funny showing the profile and pics around. Those construction types would look at the pictures and drool, then start reading the profile out loud and would read right through the “trans” part before the “light would come on”. One guy said, “I thought she looked like she had an Adams Apple”.

He’ll realize he was almost at death’s door and decide to REALLY live it up. Naomi is okay with having a little fun, but she’s not going to be down with that for long. They almost never show the chick Sam is messing with, so that’s a sign it’s not going to be long term. They are going to make their way back to each other.

Why did you get a 1/2lb burger and not a 1/4lb or 1/3 lb? 1/2 is 8 ounces of uncooked beef. 1/4 is only 4 ounces of uncooked beef. Don’t blame Fuddruckers, you chose poorly! You should have gotten a smaller burger. They have other options than 1/2 a cow.

I don’t eat there often because I don’t eat many burgers period.

@melo — Victorian, yes. And I’ll allow the comparison to Dickens — he’s a bit soap-opera-ish, though not geared as much to chicks as Bronte. But there’s no comparison at all to Chaucer. Not only totally different era, but Chaucer is as raunchy (a good thing in my estimation), controversial (for his time) and politically incorrect as they come. Nothing even remotely chick-ly about Chaucer.

Then again, I’m not sure how well reciting Chaucer would go over for a romantic, V-day gesture — particularly if you do it in the original Middle English. Maybe I’ll try that w/ swiss miss & see how it works. ;-)

And bathed every veyne in swich licour,

Of which vertu engendred is the flour;

Whan Zephirus eek with his sweete breeth

Inspired hath in every holt and heeth

The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne

Hath in the Ram his halfe cours yronne,

And smale foweles maken melodye,

That slepen al the nyght with open eye

(So priketh hem Nature in hir corages);

Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages

And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes

To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;

And specially from every shires ende

Of Engelond, to Caunterbury they wende,

The hooly blisful martir for to seke

I had to recite that shyte to my prof in the Middle English for my Chaucer class as an undergrad. Spent the weekend prior in a casino in Biloxi, practicing out loud & drinking while waiting on my then GF’s mom to drag her arse away from the slot machines. Got some strange looks, to say the least.

My co-worker been here 4 years to my 6 and we built a great rapport. Started off shaky, but we got it right. I didn’t think i would cry cuase i was the one not talking about it at lunch. But she came over and gave me a big hug and told me i was the coolest black-women she ever want to work with…lol..only she could say that. See what i’m sayin? I started tearing up when she said make sure to call her so she can learn how to make dressing and not stuffing for her family. inside joke

Her husband insisted that she stayed at home with the 8 and 1 year old…becuase it was too much on her. <—- look at that.

PG, Flip is on my list. Creative Loafing gave em a good review and my very picky homegirl went there and loved it.

Howell Mill is my old neighborhood and close to my pole classes, so I’ll be visiting soon. The Top Chef guy also makes these liquid nitrogen margaritas at another restaurant he’s affiliated with in town.

PoppaG I checked hulu - they only have the last 4 episodes like abc.com. I have a lot of stuff to catch up on. Hopefully fancast is legal too because I’m not trying to get in trouble.

Speaking of trouble, I got bit by a red light camera in Cobb county two weeks ago. Usually I know when I’ve ran a red light (don’t do that often) but this one caught me by surprise.

@PG…but others can reply:

Question: if someone walked into a room and said to you “I am going to make a pronouncement on such and such a subject…would you infer from the meaning of the word that meant he was making a authoritative statement of judgement or opinion about the subject…sans any experential or intellectual knowledge about the subject matter…just looking for a well reasoned and well rounded POV.

AJC gave it good reviews as well. I liked it too. I’m not the biggest burger fan. I haven’t had a BK or McDonald burger in about 2 years. Steak N Shake is the bruger that I get most often. Sometimes, I get a burger from Marlow’s Tavern or Gordon Biersch. ( I like the beer at GB) But that is rare.

Be prepared to wait. It has become the trendy spot to visit. It has gotten to a point that they use the parking lot to the auto repair shop that is across the street from it, and sometimes that lot is full, too. Sometimes they have to have a cop to stop traffic so people can cross the street safely. We went for lunch one day which wasn’t as bad as I’ve seen the evenings be.

It would depend on who made such a statement. If I knew that the subject was in their background, I would have an easier time seeing them as an expert.

Otherwise, I’ll need proof.

I was psych major and now a law student. Generally, I want to see empirical data or proof for most stuff. I’m just that cynical.

A pronouncement is an authoritative statement that is law or at least they think it should be law.

Very rough, very clumsy modern translation of the previous (can you tell this conference call is boring me out of my mind????):

When April, with his showers sweet

The drought of March has pierced to the root

And bathed every vein is such liquor,

Of which truly engendered is the flower;

When Zephyr, with his sweet breath

Inspired has in every holt and heath

The tender crops, and the young sun

Has in the Ram (Aries) his half course run,

And small fowls make melody,

That sleep at night with open eye

(So pierce them Nature in their spirit);

Then long folk to go on pilgrimages

And palmers for to seek strange shores

To far halls, known in sundry lands;

And especially from every shires end

Of England, to Canterbury they went,

The holy blissful martyr for to seek

That them has helped, when that they were sick.

Please make this call END!!!! I’m dying over here…. LOL

I guess that you win. I am not a big burger fan.

However, I did have an In and Out Burger last summer when we went to LA. It lived up to the hype. Ravens Tackle Big Willie (Anderson-own Fatburger off Sidney Marcus was interested in trying to franshise them, but they don’t want to franchise.

Oh yeah I promised to post the poem..it has been a busy day..

Anti-Valentine’s Day Poem.. Who said this Ok?

Who said your disrespect was ok? From my Queen to that Heifer all in one day…

Who said your cheating, your deceit, your lying would be ok? Love of my life to lying b*&&(d all in one day…

Who said this yelling and fighting was ok? Pillow talk to F)k off all in one day…

Who said walking away; leaving was going to be ok? Passion unknown to calling damn Tyrone all in one day…

Really can these feelings be ok? I loved you…you loved me we said until our dying day. Didn’t think death would be so soon. What in the hell happen? Where did we go wrong?

How do we start over, do we even want to? Hot and fast now it is just kiss my a*…can we make this mess ok?

Keep packing, get the hell out of the way…I don’t give a damn how you leave here…just leave OK?

PG, just said the winner of them all…In-N-Out burger! I had two on Monday. Yum!

Yeah, they won’t franchise em, keeping it a family owned and run company. Boooo…

I’ve never gotten into Five Guys. One of my co-workers ruined it for me when she said the burgers taste like In-N-Out. They don’t and my taste buds were devistated. The burger is good, but not compared to In-N-Out.

I must admit that In & Out is one of the few places that actually lived up to the hype. White Castle was crap!! Just as Krystal is crap!! They both are just fart burgers. Puffs of air.

For those of you out there w/o anyone to spend V-D with, don’t frown. It’s just another day where commercials and gimmicks leave some single women feeling depressed. This day also challenges a person’s self-worth (for some strange reason). STOP IT. STOP IT!!!! WHY allow society to dictate what should make you happy. So what, you may be alone this weekend. Be thankful for what you have, and keep loving yourself. That’s all you have to do.
