Most Dateless Weekend
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
For the next 48 hours, the entire dating scene will be virtually deserted. There will be few actual dates this weekend and you can forget about Sunday brunch/movie date. It’s the football fan’s REAL Valentine’s day weekend. You know when they express their adoration for football, their first love!
If you are single and looking, you may have a few opportunities this weekend to score some numbers, do a little flirting, and maybe even turn some heads. Besides, if you are on the prowl, it’s good to find your prey in its native habitat. Defenses are down!
A few tips to help you out if you are mingling among other singles this weekend:
Do not to take it personally when the hot guy or girl you are talking to gets distracted by the game. Consider it a good sign if they actually acknowledge your presence. Thankfully, there will be commercial breaks!
Be sure to linger around the snacks. Hey, single people have to eat, right? Don’t worry, eating chicken wings can be sexy!
Ladies, don’t feel intimidated about joining a group of eligible bachelors. They won’t bite, and the game serves as an ideal ice breaker. You may have to do a little recon to find out who is single and who came with someone.
Also, don’t be alarmed if the seemingly quiet, laid back person you are chatting up suddenly starts screaming at the top of their lungs. Football fans can be pretty intense. Just watch for flailing arms and beer spills. You will be fine.
Get the digits at half-time. Check the ring finger. Keep your game face on!
What are your plans for the big Super Bowl weekend? Do you actually have a date?
Are you a football widow/widower? Does your SO completely ignore you on Super Bowl Sunday? Do you plan to try to squeeze in some romance somehow?
Who do you think will win? I will probably go to a Super Bowl party in Alpharetta. The host added a twist to donate items/money for a great cause, so it’s a win-win. As long as the screen is big, I’m happy.
Happy Friday everyone!!

Wisey great topic! btw, how are you doing this morning after going thru what you did yesterday? you were on my mind last evening. how scary that might have been.
i was thinkin’ about going to a Superbowl party, but i don’t know where one is. any suggestions? I would prefer a sports bar. the atmosphere there is really nice to me. the .02 given above is helpful, but all that was was common sense.

hi Tweety! i’m tryin’ to stay away from giving advice. sometimes i feel bad when my advice is taken the wrong way. everyones life is so different. but it’s hard to not respond. anyways, having a man’s baby is permanent. meaning he’ll be in your life forever. do you love him? if yes, marry him if you are even considering having his child. start off this thing right. having a child is serious business. the child deserves happy healthy parents in the home. good luck to you guys! and happy planning.

This is one of the best weekends to meet someone if you are into football. I have a few options this Sunday…either a small gathering with friends where I know everyone. Or a big frat gathering where men are going to be everywhere.
Since I actually like the Patriots, I am going to be focused on the game. The bad thing is that most folks are anti-Patriots, so it’s harder to bond when you’re rooting for opposite teams! I went to one huge party a couple years ago and it was just me and one other guy rooting for the Pats, out of like 500 people. But at least he and I got to know each other better!

Mornin Football fans
Also, don�t be alarmed if the seemingly quiet, laid back person you are chatting up suddenly starts screaming at the top of their lungs. Football fans can be pretty intense. - This sums me up perfectly. Wont do this much on Sunday but when my team is on I get instense. Fellas the key to a successful football party is not gettin a stain on your shirt. Ladies if you are gettin ignored by your man during the game make sure you know who he is rooting for, then wait until they score a big touchdown then grab him a give him a kiss in celebration. Trust he’ll remember this and now you’re apart of the game!

Morning blog…
The Super Bowl, and most sporting events are good occasions to meet other singles. Seems that everyone is more at ease and receptive. Not as much gaming IMO.
2 ever had to scrape up enough change to get your gas tank back on E!…be like, shoot, all I gotta do is make it home after work, then, ain’t gotta go nowhere…cause that direct deposit gon’ hit at midnight, then I’m straight!!!
Let me one-up you there champ… make it to Wednesday, call in sick on Thursday, then checking wachovia.com first thing Friday morning, just to make sure that your direct-deposit hit like it was supposed to.

Truth - Good point. Some amateurs began to emerge on the blog once the playoff started. I think someone asked if the Patriots and the Jaguars would be facing off in the Super Bowl, which is impossible because 1) The Jags had already been knocked out (by the Pats) and 2) they both play in the AFC so they would never face each other in the Super Bowl!

not to mention that by just attending a sporting gathering, a chick get major points for being sports inclined…
word of caution, if you meet someone there, be ready to be accommodating on the subject of sports, don’t expect a guy to miss a bunch on games next season just because u wanted him to do something else like go ride the bike at the park… by meeting him at a SB party, ur saying that u understand sports fanaticism and ur gonna be accommodating to that end :)

Morning Folks!
My co-worker is throwing a SB party and I’m going. She’s not a football fan and usually I don’t go to non-fan SB parties, but since I don’t really care about this game - I’ll be there socializing. I can catch the abbreviated version of the game Tuesday night on NFLN.
Remember Affect Verb, Effect Noun - don’t mean to be grammar police but the incorrect use of affect and effect is one of my pet peeves. So next time, think of RAVEN…
that and the improper use of ‘myself’ which has become acceptable for all public speakers

I am thinking…was that payed for out of the church budget?
Ms.Eye you straight…I am thinking of a trick I would like for you to try with your feather whip.
Ms.Wise you’re welcome…feel free to use it on Alvin.

I’ve been so broke that I had to go to church’s food pantry for food, help with the bills, etc. Then sat down rolled up some change to come up with gas money to put in the tank of the car that I had to hide from the repo man. Also, took trash bags, hand soap etc from work and washed clothes at the job using the detergent that just said Detergent…talking about some harsh stuff.

One way to keep people from wanting to be entertained at your house is provide bad food. But all my friends know that I am a pretty good cook so that’s out of the question.

Brown sugar my husband divorced me two years ago. I was walking around like James Evans. It was the best thing that could have ever happen to me. He call everyday. Begging. He was cheating on me with this hood rat that actually looked like a monchi-chi (I am not sure if I am spelling it correctly) It will hurt like hell at first but then you realize that what the higher power has for you he has for you and that he might have moved him out of the way because he was blocking your blessing. When I got over the initial shock, girl I finished getting my masters and got a better job and now I am walking around like I am Kimora slash Kim Kardashian, He can’t tell me nothing and when his family see me they are always talking about how he will never find somebody as good to him as I was.

For Real/2P You talking bout Ramen Noodles…how bout those $1.00 Frozen Banquet Meals (in the red box) & pot pies. I always got the chicken fingers, fried chicken (crossing my fingers for a drumstick inside), and the Yankee (Mystery Meat) Pot Roast. I ate so many of those things that I almost forgot what real food tasted like.
Brown Sugar So how did you find out? And when you did, what did he said when you called him out on it?
Six 1 I would take and butter my bread and but it in the toaster then sprinkle the sugar on it. It use to be delicious. We call that Ghetto French Toast LOL

Raqi I could have sworn I heard him cuss me when he was hanging up. But because I cannot prove it in a court of law I figured I would forego snatching him thru the phone and beating him to a pulp.
I hope that you called him back and got in his azz, just on the premise that you THOUGHT that you heard some ish!
Recall some of that old street knowledge and start if off somethin’ like this ===> “Look here son, I don’t know who’ you think you talkin’ to, but you betta know that I’ll come right ova dere! What da hayo did you say?!”
At that point you’ll get something like this ===> “I didn’t say anything.” …followed up by some more I-didn’t-do-its and that-not-what-I-saids.
Then you cut him right off and finish up with ===> “Aight then! You gon’ make me act like a N-word! Dammit!” click.
You won’t be able to see it but the look on shorty’s face will be priceless and the story will be told to his son’s and grandson’s.

SexyLeggs/Demi Talking about how poor we all used to be reminds me of that line from the movie Amistad, where Morgan Freeman’s character is asked the question “What’s your story?”. *(Remember that?) It’s reall cool to find out what you all’s “story” is, because people are so quick to develop this misplaced impression you based on the present, while not having a clue about what you’ve had to overcome to get where you are today.
This is why it’s important to me to meet a woman who is humble, because that’s where I come from. I don’t care how “large” I’m livin’ now, I didn’t have the luxury of being born with a silver spoon in my mouth and I’d appreciate a woman who can relate to that. Not that she has to come from the exact same place, but she needs to understand why it is I’m holding on to those last 3 packs of Ramen. Feel me?

BSV Your situation reminds me of an ordeal a friend of mine went through. She had been with her SO for 5 yrs, they were engaged & living together. She had never suspected him of anything until one day he mistakenly left his Myspace Inbox open and she saw where he had been communicating with some chick for the last 6-8 months. That morning she went out looking for an apt, rented a UHaul and moved out just that quick. She never told him what she found. All she left was a printout of all the messages. She didn’t tell him where she moved to, buddy was sick, calling her folks & job trying to find out where she dipped to. I think that hurts them most when you just say fugg it and dip w/o notice and they never get that chance to smooth it over. (IF they care about you that is)
By The Truth
February 1, 2008 12:58 PM | Link to this
BSV don’t let these folks get you wound up like that. First, it ain’t the chicks fault. She didn’t force the puddy on him so go to the source, your hubby. It’s a coward move to confront her. 2nd, after you leave him and do all that your gonna run up on the next cat and chances are he’s gonna do the same thing at some point. I know thats harsh but lets keep it real. (I was a cheating hubby too) Women rating dudes on fidelity is like a dude rating a woman on her ability to stop bleeding. Not likely. Believe it or not ol boy probably still loves you but needs some outside every once in awhile. It usually has nothing to do with loving the chick (or he would have asked for a divorce by now) but just the need to splurge. Now here’s the real fugged up part. If you try to get revenge and he’s a solid cat he’s gonna bounce. So, since women always talk about vows and whatnot and its better or worse you got your worse up front. Ride it out because in a few years this will be a faded memory but make sure you know his angle, meaning is this love or just booty.
Don’t use emotions like some other chicks but try to think thru it. Talk with him like he’s a human and not your husband and process the information, don’t react to it. Make the best decision based on the info you’ve gathered with a level head or your gonna regret this for a long time. Your holding a stick of dynamite and you can either diffuse it or allow it to explode in your face. Your choice.
Beautiful I thought about you last night when I turned to some millionaire dating show and this chick was complaining because men in Cali don’t chase women anymore. I remember you saying men here don’t date like back in Cali. Do you still plan on heading back home?

I know damn well that you and ALL of your potnas are out here cussin’.” So he starts smiling like ‘aight unc, you got me.’ Then we both started laughing, and then I just let him know, I was a kid too, but you better not be out here disrespecting the neighborhood, meaning his elders, b/c if I hear about it, there’s gonna be trouble.

Truth & rest of the blog family.
I am level headed person, even under the stress of this siutation.i’m not the kind of woman that’s going to do anything that I’ll live to regret. My confronting her will not change the what happened, neither will it bring me any sort of closure or gradification. I would never confront the other woman, because honestly my beef is not with her it is with my husband. He made a choice to step out, and take things to the next level.
It’s so sad to know that there are people that will always be there to accomdate your mate (married or not) if they ever decide to go that route While I am venting on here. I’m no fighter, but don’t think for one second I can hold my own.
Now on a spritual note they will have to answer for their sins on judgment day. All I can do is take it one day at a time. There is no quick fix to this siuation.

Happy Friday everyone
On topic, I may go back to the sports bas where I watched the Playoff games. I have a few other invites to consider as well.
Blog question
Is it wrong for me to hang out with my sister’s ex? I met him when I moved here in ‘98 while they were dating and even back in the day he always asked me to hang out with him and his friends. He’s never tried anything with me, but sometimes he says things that make me ?? myself for hanging out with him. For example….. I called him yesterday to see what he was doing for the SB. He answered his phone Wassup Sexy?
I hung out with him a few weekends ago at a friends house, we played cards, shot pool and watched the fight. He was openly flirting with one of his friends neighbors as well as some female who called him several times and somebody asked me if we were together. My response $h!t No!. Dude is cool as all get out, but I wonder if I am wrong. My sister has put us in touch to hang out too many times to count. Am I setting myself up for a foul play?
The strangest thing I ever ate was a raw hot dog or bologna wrapped in cheese. I used to love it!

Its not a matter of controlling your dyck either but its the thrill of the hunt. Its as uncontrollable as a womans desire to have children. Its what got us this far.

Truth I think her reasoning for the ‘no sex’ rule is to see if these men are really serious and not to compromise things, so to speak. You have to think, these millionaires are probably really use to just meeting chicks and fugging them before they are a faint memory but noon the next day. So her approach is to gauage how serious they are about finding love. True is may seems childish. Did you see the one with the guy that took the girl to the wine tasting in the jet?? He said since he doesn’t swallow he normally spits, so there will be a lot of swallowing and spitting going on. Ole girl was like, yeah that sounds about right, I like to swallow. WTF!

JustMe I’m not saying it is definitely wrong in practice, but in theory, usually when our instincts or conscience raises the question of whether a certain behavior is “right” or “wrong”, chances are that instinct is there as a “caution” to us to not do that thing as opposed to doing that thing. Again, I’m not saying that’s the case in every situation but, more times than not, I think the fact that you have to ask the question at all of “Is it wrong?” says a lot. Make sense? :-)

I never got that not filling up the tank thing. Keeping it half full just means you have to stop that much sooner to get gas. Either way, the same amount is still going in the tank.

the nerve you hit comes from the fact that the level of flawed logic that some individuals use as justification for bullshyt is often taken as gospel…
and your 155p statement doesn’t support your earlier statement…otherwise…there would be more women just holding on to fcuked up marriages waiting for the next infidelity to become a faded memory…
i also make it a point not to just spout off inflammatory, unsupported rhetoric in this forum just cause i like to see my name in lights…

BSV Truth laid it out for you. If it’s important to you (not your mamma, not your friends) find out the reason why he cheated. If his reasoning is logical and factful, then you evaluate it and make the best decision for you. Remember the peanut gallery is just as selfish as your husband is, so take what they say with a grain of salt.

Cool i was trying to make light of the situation. The fact is forever is a long time. Usually during that ime things happen, cheating, car accidents, children, medical problems, injuries, unfresh breath. The longer you stay together the more your exposed to. So my thing is instead of some pre-planned knee jerk reaction try thinking thru the problem and you can use it to grow. Honestly, she may look at it and say “I haven’t been having sex with him lately” (for example) and hence created an opportunity for this to happen. Who knows. Now, pick up the mike, step back on the box and tell me what you think of that sexaul chocolate. BTW, I have a sweet tooth. LOL

I mentioned my granny will be 70 this March and I have to do the Welcome speech. So I was thinking about mentioning some little facts about 1938. I came across this website that gives you an idea of wages, cost of cars, houses, rent etc. You can check out any year. In 1938:
the minimun wage amount was 40cents for a 44hr work week!!
That means about $70.40 a month
Avg cost of rent $27/month
So after rent you were left w/approximately $43
Average Price for new car $763.00
Gas was about 10 cent a gal
Oil is discovered in Saudi Arabia
8 loaf of bread 9 cents

ARed I’m with you because rolling around on 1/4 tank of gas can really mess your car up, plus you don’t know what situation you may be in like traffic or bad weather. Just a couple of weeks ago, there were two girls in a Chevy Tahoe and they were stalled at the light right off on 85 and North Druid Hills right after I got off of work. I pulled up next to them and asked the passenger if they were ok and she was like “we ran out of gas”. If any of you know that intersection, it is a complete nightmare, especially to run out of gas. The passenger girl had to dart in and out of traffic and run down the street to get some gas. To me, I’m thinking how in the world do you let your tank get that low to where your car just stops. I don’t know…

Once I was at the hair salon and a lady needed a jump and didn’t know who to call. It was one of the nights a few weeks ago when it was really cold, like in the 20’s. I offered to call AAA for her to have them come out and they did. She didn’t have AAA, but I do, so all I did was call and let her speak to them to give them her info and they came. Later, she left a thank you card with my stylist.

LOL @Darrell. That’s how I remembered doing it back in the day and that’s what I did. Man paper catches fire quickly. I tried 3x to no avail. I was worried about blowing myself up, burining down my kitchen and burning my hands running to the sink with the lit paper!
Going out for frozen margaritas after work so I won’t try to light the pilot until the morning.

And to lighten the mood:
We were at some friends’ house a week ago and we were talking about the water drought and just chatting about ways to conserve water. So the man says “that’s why I pee in the shower when Raqi is not in there. Ain’t no need of flushing the toilet when the shower is already running.” I found that funny however disgusting.
What’s the big deal about getting free lunch? I wish my son got free lunch. Heck I pay enough taxes and tuition for him to be at least eating for free. I say bring on the free lunch for every child across the board.

Once I fed my sons buttered rice for breakfast and dinner for two whole weeks.
I had a car that the gas gauge didn’t work and it took me running out of gas three times to figure out how long I could drive before I needed to go get more gas.
That same car didn’t have heat one winter and I would throw my sons’ sweaters in the dryer before leaving the house to keep them warm on the drive to my in-laws house.

These dogs aren’t for everyone but if you konw how to get down with them their the best thing going. I’ve had mine for a five years now. I lost 2 last year, 1 to a bad hip and the other died while getting fixed. That chick was borderline unsafe. She bit so hard she bruised the guys in the suit. LOL She was the kind of dog that would kill someone, just not me.
900 its cool man, your not gay…..are you? Really, i want you to see my guy. Shoot me an adddie and i promise not to flirt with you.

Have a good weekend Blog Fam. I am going to leave you with a song:
Ooops my bad Fam! See the correct song below.
here we go, Once upon a time not long ago, When people wore pajamas and lived life slow,
When laws were stern and justice stood, And people were behavin’ like they ought ta good,
There lived a lil’ boy who was misled, By anotha lil’ boy and this is what he said:
“me & you, ty, we gonna make sum cash, Robbin’ old folks and makin’ ah dash”,
They did the job, money came with ease, But one couldn’t stop, it’s like he had a disease,
He robbed another and another and a sista and her Brotha,
Tried to rob a man who was a d.t. undercover,
The cop grabbed his arm, he started acting erratic, He said “keep still, boy, no need for static”,
Punched him in his belly and he gave him a slap, But little did he know the lil’ boy was strapped,
The kid pulled out a gun, he said “why’d ya hit me ?”,
The barrel was set straight for the cop’s kidney,
The cop got scared, the kid, he starts to figure, “i’ll do years if i pull this trigga”,
So he cold dashed and ran around the block, Cop radioes it to another lady cop,
He ran by a tree, there he saw this sista, A shot for the head, he shot back but he missed her,
Looked around good and from expectations, So he decided he’d hit for the subway stations,
But she was coming and he made a left, He was runnin’ top speed till he was outta breath,
Knocked an old man down and swore he killed him, (Sorry!) Then he made his move to an abandoned building,
Ran up the stairs up to the top floor, Opened up the door there, guess who he saw?, Who?
Dave the dope fiend shootin’ dope, Who don’t know the meaning of water nor soap,
He said “i need bullets, hurry up, run!” The dope fiend brought back a spanking shotgun,
He went outside but there was cops all over, Then he dipped into a car, a stolen nova (?),
Raced up the block doing 83, Crashed into a tree near university,
Escaped alive though the car was battered, Rat-a-tat-tatted and all the cops scattered,
Ran out of bullets and still had static, Grabbed a pregnant lady and pulled out the automatic,
Pointed at her head and he said the gun was full o’ Lead, He told the cops “back off or honey here’s dead”,
Deep in his heart he knew he was wrong, So he let the lady go and he starts to run on,
Sirens sounded, he seemed astounded, Before long the lil’ boy got surrounded,
He dropped the gun, so went the glory, And this is the way i must end this story,
He was only seventeen What?, in a madman’s dream, The cops shot the kid, still hear him scream,
This ain’t funny so don’t ya dare laugh,
Just another case ‘bout the wrong path, Straight ‘n narrow or yo’ soul gets cast(?).
Good night.

He was the dude that turned me on to the domino spot….. we have been likd sis/bro for dayum near 10 years. I think if her really wanted to hit it, he would have tried something by now. Otherwise, dude must know I got some bomb azz goodies and he’s willin to wait a lifetime to get them…….

I’ve seen plenty of well trained dogs show aggression toward company. I would hate it if a dog ate my date while I was out of the room. dam I know that chic was jus sittin on the couch… Spike where you get that stilleto from?
scariest dog i have ever seen..the dog sitting down comes to my chest and i am 6’2 -HA!!! That 200lb mastif I mentioned earlier was playful man, put his paw in my chest and left a mud print that covered the whole front of my shirt!
