Hollywood sends out the message that all young (meaning college aged) women are into older men. Look at all of the movies and PR "relationships", and you will see what I mean. If their only intel or insight into American culture was our media, then they were doomed from the start.

Who doesn't know that workplace profanity isn't professional (depending on your industry). Grow up, Huckabee. We are allowed to express frustration, disappointment, anger, and a whole host of other emotions in any way we see fit.

I apologize for all the hearts that are about to break. Check out Item #260: http://www.agcwebpages.com/BLINDITEMS/201…

Virginity (or celibacy for that matter) either is, or is not a big deal depending solely on the person discussing it. We treat virginity like a big deal due to this country truly insane ideas about sex and female sexuality. Women especially are told we are frigid if we don't do it, and whores if we do. There seems…

True. Definitely true. Unless you consider a talent for marketing and self promotion as talent.

OMG! The customers in that last story:

You don't need to justify it Kanye. You have made some good music, some prescient statements, and some utterly stupid ones. Your mother passed away, you got silly for awhile, we get that. You chased someone that was in the same fame category as you, married and produced a child. We realize that she is not Black. …

Well Florida gave us Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, so that's at least one saving grace. It also gave New Yorkers and New Jersey-ites someplace to retire, so I'm sure that helps a little.

It seems like the polite thing to do would be to ignore it, especially if you have made it clear that you are not particularly in the mood. Me being a bit of a perv, I might try to discreetly watch, but my only other concern would be to make sure he wiped up afterward. I cannot stand wet sheets or blankets.

For the mouth part of your face?

It's the only time all of the grits are gone before we leave the house. I cook them in milk and butter, and add cheese. The shrimp is cooked in rendered, chopped up bacon, onions and garlic, with a very small pinch of salt, and a liberal amount of freshly ground black pepper. The whole thing is done in under 20…

Shrimp n Grits is what I make the kids for breakfast when we are going to have a long stint at church, it's early enough, and nobody pissed me off the night before:

Thanks for the info. I knew it was a hot cereal, but I had some vague memory of it being thought of as steel cut oats.

Not sure if you're trolling or serious, but generally speaking, that sort of question does not go over very well in most cases.

I caught that right after I hit publish. I thought it was kinda funny so I left it. Glad to to see someone else appreciates potty humor.

She has a point.

There is a Torrid at the South Bay Galleria, but I take it I would still have to order them?

Those boots are it! I must have them in my life. Right Now! From a fellow Southern Californian who understands the short boot wearing season.

True that. Then again, these were mostly Black and Latina girls who were likely raised by single parents by way of divorce (Soooooo many of our mothers were divorced!) who were raised on the notion that if we didn't get married straight out of either high school or college there was something seriously wrong with the…

Is it weird that I completely understand her sentiments? Although I go into it in more detail here: http://www.houseofperpetualdistraction.com/thoughts-feeli…, I am really at the same point. At 43, with two kids already under my belt, I finally realized that while the idea of marriage is nice, and if the right…
