What to do when a mate wants plastic surgery

When I was last home, I attended a holiday party and ran into an old classmate. She looked great, as pretty as ever, with one noticeable difference: her chest. Meaning, it had grown…a lot!

Turns out, her affluent boyfriend bought “them” for her. This may be nothing unusual nowadays, but I can’t help but wonder how I’d feel if I told my boyfriend I wanted plastic surgery, and he agreed. How do you navigate that? “Baby, I love you the way you are, but if that’s what you want…” or “I’ll support whatever decision you make…” or “For your birthday this year, I was thinking I’d get you a pair of…”

(Obviously I’m speaking of elective surgery here.)

None of us are perfect, but when your mate has an insecurity, is it better to ensure them that’s one of the things you love, or support their decision to change it? I think I’d cry if I told Roland that I wanted liposuction and he was gung-ho for it. I’d rather him lie to me and say he loves me as is, no need for the knife.

Have any of you undergone plastic surgery while in a relationship? Did it bring you closer or cause weirdness? And have any of your mates wanted surgery, but were upset with you if you agreed with their decision? (And in doing so, confirmed their fear.)

Happy Friday!

Good Morning All, wearing my Huey P hat today

Plastic Surgery— This is some shiggidy that white people do..lets just go there early so we don’t have to stay all day. Nothing personal white folks..just business

White people go for liposuction or now fat replacement, botox or whatever the hell they are calling it.. since big round booties, thicker lips and breast have now become the in thing and less of a “ethnic thang”(they are nip and tuck happy) Angelina has big lips..so I want big lips. I need a new booty like J-Lo’s. Whateva Hollyweird is selling they are buying. Want to look younger, we can pull your face back, hell we will sell you a new face..smh head oh white folks

So in the words of whoever said it..Black don’t crack..baby.

Plastic surgery? What in the sam hell would I need that crap for? I am genetic soup made from generations of women and men(height from my great-grandpa)who had beauty beyond measure in and out.

Good morning everyone!

Never had plastic surgery, but did want a bigger chest. I wasn’t born w/one so I had to settle with what I had. Miraculously, they have grown in the past year (don’t know what that’s about lol), but I would not go for plastic surgery. I have a friend that will be coming on this blog shortly and will no doubt state that she wants lipo so badly she could taste it.

Kegels are so simple to do that all women should be doing them.

Plastic surgery is very deceiving. It’s false advertisement.

Just say I had opted for the mammary gland enhancement prior to entering into a relationship with my marido and he didn’t know me from way back. I didn’t know it back then but I know now that he favors a fuller set of mg’s. For him to have thought he was getting a f-s of mg’s would have been deceiving because they would not have been real and anything could happen to where they would have to be removed and then what. He finds out it was a lie the whole time. Not that they would be the only reason we are together, it would still be a lie to lead him to believe something that is not true.

I liken this to the cosmetic surgeries that I have seen that totally changes the way the person looks. I was watching an episode of Orange County and saw where one of the women had a major plastic surgery and she looked totally different. Imagine having kids with someone that is not who you really see. You can change your outside but you can’t alter your genes.

LOL I can’t even imagine what I would think if I had gotten with this super gorgeous guy and then met his family thinking he was the pretty duckling in the bunch. When actually he just changed the outside. Babies born to the transformed will take on the genes of the pre-surg.

One particular race cannot stake their claim to plastic surgery, I know alot of black people like to think so but it simply isn’t true. Trust me, there are plenty of black women who have had work done in all types of areas, whether the surgery was purely cosmetic in nature or not. Besides there’s a difference between cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery.

Plastic surgery? Nope. I can’t see myself going under the knife to enhance my beauty.

I agree with Kym, the Caucasian persuasion does go under the knife more than we do. And when we, Black folks do, it doesn’t seem to work well for us. Usher’s wife almost died recently in Brazil going for lypo. Kanye’s mom lost her life after it. Lil Kim looks a hot ghetto mess because of it.

Per the world blacks have the highest rate of HIV, blacks are leading in heart diease, blacks are leading in high blood pressure. All things that are based on life style..so says those in medical circles. So why can’t we say white folks are more incline to go to Doc Bob for a lift, tuck and lube more than blacks?

Kym you’re comparing apples to oranges in your rebuttal. I stated that one race can’t lay a sole claim to being the champions of plastic surgery. And when you bring in liposuction and gastric bypass, you must talk about the differences between cosmetic and plastic surgery.

But to your point, soicio-economic standing can dictate one’s ability to afford affluent medical services. At the same time it can be a trait of those with certain maladies. I’m black…I don’t have HIV (been tested), don’t have high blood pressure either, and my lifestyle isn’t as casual as it used to be but that’s besides the point. Ultimately, what I was refering to reagarding one race staking claim to plastic surgery is a very general statement without adequate data to support it.

melo I saw a picture of Jennifer Grey and she looks totally different. Some would say better but I just say different. But the lady on Orange County not only look different but worse. It’s ironic when someone opt for different, based on society’s beauty, and actually turns out to look worse than before.

Look at Star Jones. All she got was thinner because she definitely looks better with the weight on. Now she looks old and beat up.

Cosmetic surgery is for people with emotional problems, issues of extremely poor self-esteem, and is not particular to any particular ethnicity. I would think that cosmetic surgery is far more prevalent among females than males.

Acceptable rationale for cosmetic surgery would be to correct for disfiguring accidents, or illnesses and diseases that resulted in treatment such as mastectomy. Otherwise, get over it. God made you the way you are.

Not a fan of the false reinforcement, either. Nor the false advertising. <—-Raqi, this is what I tell my girls who won’t leave home without their Spanx and wonder why I don’t bother . We chuckle every time… But if y’all do opt for the surgery, please do extensive research on the docs.

Cemeeli You circling round yet? I’ma ask again whether these tidbits are Freudian or what, ma’am. Storyline gone from flyin solo to big, happy family… Coulda sworn you were gonna pack up & move out the cul de sac by the time ya hit that status.

Kiddies cuttin’ school don’t read this do they? Good. Regarding the crass descriptions of the sexual acts and those who paint them that way… That’s a huge part of the issue with Black women who would partake in certain acts or making it be known that they do. So many of you speak of anything beyond basics in a derrogatory and manner and about those who have done it in the same vein. Stop. It’s not gonna help you relive those sensations in the future b/c . This is a convo that amazes me how much Black men are in denial about. And I don’t think most things are cultural — but please note how Swiss’ cousins nem are congratulatory when making a reference. They speak of missing Suzie. She was a good girl who gave the best snow jobs b/c she left no evidence. She was a real trooper cuz she took it this way, that way and the other. But Stiff Donkey and his boys nem? Nope. It’s “Damn Ebony” (sorry Ebonys). She was a nasty bleep who drank his baby batter.

Donkey punch is a slang term for an apocryphal and potentially lethal[1] sexual practice supposedly performed during anal sex. The purported practice involves the penetrating partner punching the receiving partner in the back of the head or neck (what is known in boxing as a rabbit punch, after a technique to kill rabbits) allegedly causing the receiving partner’s anal passage to tense up and increase the pleasure of the penetrating partner.[2] When used, the donkey punch is almost exclusively executed during or just before the orgasm of the penetrating partner.[3]

I have no idea what the stats are, but from my experience, the black women I’ve dated have tended to be more secure with their bodies as they are than white women I’ve dated. So, I wouldn’t argue w/ Kym’s assessment that my people go under the knife more often. Though, I’m sure economics does play some role in it as well.

Also, based purely on my own unscientific observations — in general, white people do tend to age more quickly than black people (with some exceptions — myself among them, so far, at least).

Personally, I’m not a fan of cosmetic surgery at all. Especially the fake boobs. Ladies, please — I beg you…. Stay away from the fake boobs! If I wanted to fondle silicon, I’d buy one of those little stress-reliever squeeze ball things. I want real boobies! Big, small… I don’t care, as long as they’re real. That’s the only thing I don’t like about strip clubs. Fortunately, I can focus my attention on other body parts there. ;-) LOL

Speaking of which — Melo — Strokers tonight? You know, swiss miss was just saying the other day that we should go to a strip club “just to see what it’s like.” LOL Although, I don’t know if I want her to know that any of my associates are as depraved (and I mean that as a complement, by the way) as you. At least not until after she says “I do.” LOL

Tatas I may have an explaination for your accusations. On Swiss’s team the chick is usually in some type of relationship whereas alot of sista’s can be met today and guzzling tonight. This is what happens in a society filled with emotionally damaged folks acting like they’re grown then going home crying because they’ve been used, again.

No matter the times dudes are still programmed to despise a chick that will open her insides for anyone. He’ll even pay her but want to slap her the second the deed is done. He’ll do her but hate her in the same breath. Can’t explain it but it’s the way it is.

Even a guys sperm is programmed to go in and block the last dudes residue. With some of these chicks the sperm gets overworked and just quits. LOL

Kym Ok, you’re a tough negotiator. Mail me a check for $2500 and we’ll call it a wrap. It should be downloaded in 2 hours. Demonoid is the bomb.

Not much to say on this subject. I personally do not care for plastic hooters, although maybe lifting a few I’ve seen might help where they ahve strted to sag. Frankly I have never understood the obsession of many men with giant breasties. A nice 34B or 34C is great.

One story on subject though…all of my children played competitive soccer. When my son was maybe 12, someone got the idea of renting an indoor arena and having a parent/children match. One of the female parents had a fairly slender body but huge breasts, maybe 36DD. She and I were out on the court when she came dribbling down. One boob was swinging clockwise, one was swinging counterclockwise in these big circles. I ran right into a wall when watching them made me sort of dizzy and seasick. Hurt like a bytch. One night she and I sort of bumped into each other (literally). I apologized (hellz you ran into them a minute before you ran into the rest of her) but she said, “no problem, I have another”. I think that happened a lot to her.

Someone mentioned gastric bypass up top… is that considered plastic surgery?

I had gastric bypass a year ago next month. Best decision I’ve made by far.

I was talking to this dude before I had it done and when I told him I was going to do it, he got mad and stopped talking to me, lol. Another guy I was dealing with at the time told me that I could stand to lose a little weight - I withheld the fact that I planned on having the surgery b/c I didn’t want him sticking around if he didn’t like me the way I was then. He eventually stopped talking to me. I saw him about 2 months ago and it felt so good to tell him NO when he asked for my number again.

@My2

There’s really no difference other than the way we talk about it.

All men have the same goal with regard to “talented” ladies. That is to have at that action.

Yeah, Billy Bob and nem celebrate her skill level. But what presents the dissonance is that Ebonys start the game talking about “what [they] won’t do” knowing all the while that they want to try the stuff.

This goes back to my point yesterday afternoon, faking the funk. Becky don’t care what her friend think because Becky knows they’re doing it too (where do you think she got it from).

That said, Ebony won’t tell her man (because she doesn’t wanna be thought of as a ohe), won’t tell her friend (because she doesn’t wann be thought of as a ohe), so she walks around with these pent up desires and suppresses them under the guise of mostly religion.

My thing is why would God give you these desires if not to act upon them?

And I’m not saying run the streets with it, but a love for a woman to own her sexuality and the expression of it.

Like I hate queit chicks, I hate the one’s that don’t voice what your body is telling me that you want. I can feel you holding back…and it frustrates me.

So Dan would offer his non-judgmental services for any lady that wants to let it out.

I have seen to episodes of Family Court (I like to watch it while I make dinner) that I feel are the effects of our twisted misleading society on our youth. One girl was suing her mother for money to get gastric bypass. She felt like she would be more attractive and get more boys to like her if she had the surgery. Another girl was suing her mother trying to get her to pay for breast implants so she could get more modeling jobs like her sister. Her sister was naturally endowed and so was the mother. The one suing said that the mother should pay because she did not get the mother genes. How foolish is that little girl. Like the mother had a say in how each developed.

But these young folks look at tv and see how society promotes certain aspects has being elements of beauty and desire therefore misleading them. They need to get a hold of some of the magazines that prints the real deal, sans airbrushing. They will see that we all have the same type of “flaws”. They really aren’t flaws, just the human body.

Michelin you dont need nerve or money, you just need to start moving. Start walking a half mile every day and pulling back from the table. Before the month is out you’ll be doing a mile and feeling better. Once your metabolism kicks in, and you’ll know it when you’re starving right after a meal, it will take care of the rest.

A joke:

A woman calls her boss one morning and tells him that she is staying home because she is not feeling well.

‘What’s the matter?’ he asks. ‘I have a case of anal glaucoma,’ she says in a weak voice. ‘What the hell is anal glaucoma?’ ‘I can’t see my a* coming into work today.

When I was in college, one night I got stuck with what I perceived as “the ugly one”. She was chunky and wore glasses. I heard later that she really liked me and was quite vocal in saying, “not just no, but hellz no”. Six months later I ran into her (did not recognize her). She had lost weight, gotten contacts, and was an absolute “10”. She wouldn’t give me the time of day for blowing her off earlier. It made me wish I could give myself a really good extremely hard kick in the azz. I really screwed up…also learned that one should ALWAYS attempt to leave on good terms just in case, LOL.

Why Randy, because she is beautiful now? What if you had ran into her looking the same as she had before but now she has added success, a husband and kids to her life? And she is a beautiful individual as a whole. Would you still kick yourself the same just knowing that she made a man somewhere a happy husband and they are doing well?

I come to work, I see people. I go out, I see people. I shop at the stores, I see people. I know and see a fair share of men and women that are overweight by fact and some deemed overweight by society, however they are happy. Some happily married/coupled. They have good jobs, finances, family, kids and the whole nine. Some could be said to not be attractive, but the also have the same.

People steadily blind themselves to believe that the society’s less beautiful and fit cannot lead a happy fulfilled life.

Happy Friday All!

I like the way I am and whomever is with me must accept me this way too, I don’t care who’s paying. I am terrified of surgery and being put to sleep, so I’m not submitting to ELECTIVE anything!

I have no problem with the idea of a person doing what makes them feel better or look their best, as long as they are doing it for THEMSELVES and not someone else. I have a decent size chest, but I dated a dude once that wanted Madea-size boobs and I sent him packing. He came to one of our family dinners and a cousin of mines wife had on a push-up. It made her look better in the dress she was wearing. This dude of mine got all upset because he had seen her before and he knew she did not have that much. He said it was decieving. I’m like why are you tripping, she’s my cousins wife and its just to make her look better in the dress, at least she did not go out and get implants!

One reason I know why folks of color traditionaly did not get cosmetic surgery is due to scarring & healing issues. I know I have a tendency to scar very bad when I get a scratch or burn and I can keloid. This on my beige skin is not very attractive. Advances have recently been made in that area so now more people of color are inclined to give it a try. This in addition to cultural acceptance and financial issues.

Yes, naturally more women have undergone cosmetic surgery than men is due to society and the emphasis on women’s outer beauty. A man can look like he just crawled out from under a rock, but if he’s smart & has money, he’s accepted. Society is not as kind to an unattractive woman.

One thing I tend to disagree on. I know and see a fair share of men and women that are overweight by fact and some deemed overweight by society, however they are happy.

Most people I know that are overweight often put on a front that they are happy, carefree, that life is great, when in reality, they are hurting badly inside. Society/media has dictated to us that every woman should look like a “pre weight gain Jessica Simpson” type body. Society/media has made many, if not most women (and men to some degree) feel really bad about that person they see in the mirror. It is tragic because that very anxiety creates stress, and stress causes much food abuse.

It is sad, but no I do not believe that most people are truly happy inside because of those stereotypes.

The tummy is one of the last places that fat leaves.

A couple of suggestions: Look at when you eat the most calories. Try eating the bigger meals for lunch when you have more time to burn it off.

Also, as Melo suggested, eat more veggie and fruits. Particularly veggies, because the tend to not have a much sugar as fruits. For Example, stay away from bananas that have spots. Once they start spotting, they become more sugar then potassium. Really that point aren’t as nutritious.

Last but certainly not least, relax. It will come. Stress makes it tough to lose weight. Cortisol is a chemical created by the body and it leads fat to be stored right around mid section.

I don’t know what workout that you do, but try yoga. It is very good exercise and strenghth builder. Also, it teaches you to relax and breathe correctly. (breathe in such a manner to get the appropriate oxygen to the body to do what you want it to do.) This appropriate oxygen will increase you metabolism.

If only the “beautiful” people of the world are truly happy why do some of them continue to alter their appearances? Could it be because they are not happy? Is it because being fair of face (per abc) and thin is not what happiness is based on?

Actually what I am saying is that I think most people are unhappy with themselves and for the worst possible reason. I think people have been brainwashed into thinking that if they are not a perfect size 2 to size 4, or look like whatever “flavor of the week” model/movie star/rocker, then they are somehow a “lesser” person. It is untrue, and on a conscious level, we know it is untrue, but underneath I think most people fall for that crap. It is sad, but I think most people have a distorted image of what they “should be”, and it hurts them inside. I really do not think most people are really happy with themseles, I really do not.

@Randy T/Raqi

You’re both right.

Randy is right in that most people are not completely happy with their physical appearance, and would like to change some things.

Raqi’s right too, in that the vast majority of people find either harmony with what they look like or work on it gradually.

What the question of the post and the extreme you two are debating on, is the small percentage of people that look in the mirror and feel like they have to change what is bothering them. Thus, plastic surgery.

To that end, even Kym was right earlier when she said that statistically this was a Caucasian issue.

Black women have culturally accepted curves, noses, buttocks, hips, lips and hair on their own terms.

Caucasians have a sense of beauty that is culturally defined differently. Thus, the need to change it.

I would agree with most of what you said in your 12:57 post. I would submit that I think the “harmony” comes, but I think it comes very late in the game, sometimes/often in later years. Maybe that is part of aging, an acceptance and appreciation for oneself.

Regarding the comments about Caucasian and African American cultural differences regarding plastic/cosmetic surgery, I would agree. I am white, and I suspect there is a much greater insecurity in Caucasian women when it comes to “matching up” with other women. Men have the reputation for being competitive, but in social settings women take the prize…or at least the women in my dating circles. I know there are exceptions, but when a man enters a party, the first thing he checks out are the women (well maybe not in certain parts of Midtown and Piedmont Park area perhaps). When a woman enters a party, the first thing she checks out are (drum roll please) the other women…and they can get dayum catty.

Randy oh, my bad. LOL

Dan I don’t doubt that we all could change something about our physical appearance. However I don’t agree with those that say that a person cannot live a happy, fulfilling life because they are overweight or below society beautiful. Although Randy explained that is not what he was saying there are folks out there that do feel that way toward others and obviously themselves.

I was watching a show the other day where a lady had half a body. She was also married and had a son. She raised her son and was a wife to her husband. She was happy despite her situation. Now there are many that would like at her and ask how could she be happy the way she is. Those people don’t realize that happiness is a state of mind and not how one looks or what one may have. I don’t doubt that she would like to have a whole body but I watched how she got out there in the yard and tussled and played with her son. She is happy. I would imagine there are many that have taken their own lives after finding themselves with a lot less of a “deformity”. And there are others that will ridicule some for a lot less.

Some of the happiest people I have ever met were in third world countries, or backwoods country areas, who had very little material possessions. They did not know what they did not have. That is where I see the unhappiness…by world standards we are almost all rich…but we do not consider ourselves rich because we know someone who is richer, prettier, healthier, better body, etc.

My father died when I was seven, and I lived in an 8” by 45” trailer until I was twelve, when we moved into a three BR, 1 bath house with a carport…which was nicer than those around us. I never heard the term “trailer trash” until I was in college. My point is that I did not know I was poor, and as long as I did not know I was poor, I was fairly happy about my circumstances.

Some of the happiest people I have ever met were in third world countries they are content in their situation,not necessarily happy.U have ur answer here,My point is that I did not know I was poor The woman Raqi cites is not happy.She is content in her situation coz wail as much as she can,unless there is a jesus-like miracle,shes gonna keep the same body.There is a difference between being happy and doing what u gotta do! U cannot let ur lyfe pass u by just becoz u poor,disabled etc.U do what u got to do and maximize on ur opportunities.U dont even have to verbalize ur frustrations to strangers etc.U put up a brave face coz u have to live the next day,if thats what u chose. U now reminding me of what Barbara Bush said after Katrina when Bush was critisized for not helping to put pple in better digs,sooner.They are poor anyway! meaning,better diggs wldnt have made them happier.THUPID…. I grew up much poorer than iam today.So did the rest of my fam.I wish i cld do more for them but i cannot.But given their situation,they are content.It dont mean they wldnt want something better given an opportunity.They wont bemoan that,day in,day out!

I honestly am not saying this to be mean or cutting, but I have often wondered how two lesbos live together. Both have hormones that get all out of whack, probably at different times of the month. When I was married, I often thought that the best for both me (and my wife) would be to chain her to the wall in the basement til the full moon passed.

kimmie, I’m surprised they’re continuing with that storyline. They need to give it a rest because it’s not going over well, and they’re making her out to look like a desperate, confused wannabee. Most ppl seeking sexual encounters don’t go about it the way she approached that woman in the open at a bar. Doubt many straight women curious to go the other way would do it that way.

I love Bailey’s new look. I like everything about her.

SexyCool, I too do not like Derek’s attitude, and yes Dr. Sloan is sexy, but the fact that he is a w******* makes him ugly. However, Addison’s brother on the other hand is the biggest wolf in sheep clothing I’ve seen in a long time.

Also, growing up in The Bronx, back then, “bulldaggers” were plentiful and fighting was prevalent. Girls got jumped left and right. No, I’v never been jumped. Like I said on more than one occasion, no one wanted the girl, skinny legs and all (me). I was too boney to get jumped on (thank goodness)!

No one goes there or bothers the people because anyone who has even attempted to try has gotten a butt full of arrows. They can only guesstimate the number of people left. And India simple leaves them alone. Now documentary people have tried..arrows to the azz and some fishermen even had the nerve to get too close..they wound up dead.

Everybody surrenders to something or someone in life.If not to God, you’ll surrender to popular opinion, to money, to resentment or fear, or to your own pride, lust, and ego.

We were designed to worship something, and when we fail to worship God, we create gods (idols) to surrender ourselves to. E. Stanley Jones said, “If you don’t surrender to Christ, you surrender to chaos.” You’re free to choose what you surrender to, but you’re not free from the consequences of that choice: “So give yourselves completely to God” (James 4:7 NCV).

Surrender is not the best way to live; it is the only way to live. Nothing else works.All other approaches lead to frustration, disappointment, and self-destruction.

The King James Version of Romans 12:1 calls surrender“your reasonable service.” The Contemporary English Version translates it: “the most sensible way to serve God.”

Surrendering your life is not a foolish emotional impulse but a rational, intelligent act, the most responsible and sensible thing you can do with your life.Your wisest moments will be those when you say yes to God: “So we make it our goal to please him …” (2 Corinthians 5:9 NIV).

Sometimes it takes years, but eventually you discover the greatest hindrance to God’s blessing in your life is not others, it is yourself – your self will, stubborn pride, and personal ambition.You cannot fulfill God’s purposes for your life while focusing on your own plans. If God is going to do his deepest work in you, it will begin with this.

So give it all to God: your past regrets; your present problems; your future ambitions; your fears, dreams, weaknesses, habits, hurts, and hang-ups. Put Christ in the driver’s seat of your life and take your hands off the steering wheel. Don’t be afraid; nothing under his control can ever be out of control.

Mastered by Christ, you can handle anything: “I am ready for anything and equal to anything through him who infuses inner strength into me. I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency” (Philippians 4:13 AMP).

You may worry, “What if I stumble or relapse?”

If? You will stumble in pleasing God! No one can live a perfectly surrendered life except Jesus.

But God has provided for the inevitability of your sin: “If you do sin, there is someone to plead for you before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who pleases God completely”

SexyCool,Staceye,Raqi,Leggs - Okay on PP everybody was hoeing!!! And did I not tell you all that Naomi & Sam had unfinished business!! I was screaming when he called ole girl Naomi!!! My diabolical plan is really coming together,LOL!!! I do think Mark is really feeling little Grey, I kinda luckwarm about that, but okay. Yes, I was very upset about Derek in the OR last night. The thing that turns me on about Derek is his complete control and competence in that OR. When he’s in that OR he can do magic! He was so off his game, and he really cares about his work and his patients, but everyone is off sometimes! He needs to just chill for a minute and go on and ask Meredith to marry. Is it just me, or did Faye Dunaway bring back memories of Mommy Dearest last nite?!!! She scared me just watching her on tv, LOL!! Yes, get Chief a beautiful love interest and let them have a baby!! Love everything about Bailey too, Leggs!!

Yoga forces you to use all the muscles of your body. It even forces you to use muscles that you forgot that you had. It is a full body workout.

My wife bought a wii for the wii fit. She does the yoga routines on it. I’ve done some of the routines and they are just as taxing if done correctly. The only problem is that if you are doing it incorrectly, there is no one there to show you.

Melo, the oldest portraits of Jesus are purported to be by apostles Luke and Peter. Luke tried over and over to make a nice portrait to no avail, until St. Veronica’s hankerchief was imprinted with the image — this is supposedly representative of the hankerchief.

Peter presented a mosaic to to the Church of St. Praxedis that has a similar portrayal.

It brings up an interesting Biblical point: what is the nature of immaculate conception? Does Jesus’ appearance represent God’s appearance as He would if God’s DNA were involved, or would physical and medical matters not apply, since the conception wasn’t achieved through sexual intercourse?

In any event, Jesus’s appearance was what God wanted it to be, and is most likely very similar to what we’ve all seen portrayed. If bloodline mattered in his appearance (and, Jesus being traced maternally directly to King David, one must assume that somehow it is important) then it traces back to Noah’s 3 sons: Ham, Shem, and Japheth, who correspond to Africans, Semites (Middle Eastern in appearance), and Europeans (Caucasian). Abraham was in Shem’s line, 7 or 8 generations after Shem; David was the 4th son of Abraham’s grandson Jacob, who compared to his brother Esau such that Jacob wasn’t hairy as his brother; yet Esau is described as coming from the womb ‘red and hairy’.

I believe that God, Allah, Buddha, Rai, Zeus..whoever you want to call her is a power most mighty and that it is man that has taken something so beautiful and turn it into fear, shame and greed all in the name of being right and for a profit. Religion and Spirtuality are two totally different things. Religion calls people heathens or dogs, says women can’t be enlighten, gays are going to hell, blacks are inferior, jews are enemy, muslims are the enemy. Religion took everything that was and turn it into hate. But the Spirt..the essence of what is real and all knowing and all power. It does not hate, it does not boast, it does not label or judge..It simple is. And you draw from it what you will. Somedays I draw nothing. Other days I lock in and draw everything. let me turn my Tolle off You know I love when people want to shout and praise and give testimonies to how they got over..but how many times do you shout and praise when you can’t? How many times do you testify to the world your sad little mistakes and f**-ups? How many times will you tell someone about the time you did something so screwed up and it didnt come out right?

I am an advocate of doing it all b/c they are all important. Strength training doesn’t mean that you will look masculine. Many women fall into that line of thinking and miss out on something that is necessary. The wife does them all. We manage to balance them somehow. The wii fit allows her to do yoga at home. But she goes the the gym for most of her cardio and weight training.

She likes a class called Body works w/ abs at LA Fitness. They use dumb bells throughout that class for weights.

I to the dumbells from kettle. Much better. Masciline? nah i enjoy seeing the results from muscle gain. I just don’t like the issue with not knowing my own strength when doing simple tasks. I have broke the handle of door latches pulling without knowing i could break the thang.

i lauffs :)

Kym I believe that God, Allah, Buddha, Rai, Zeus..whoever you want to call her That right there let’s me know ya spitting none of what ya truly know. If you can’t identify from a personal one on one exactly who God is and what he is to you and calling God from a list of something somethings supposedly given to identify with the Almighty or some higher power, a few possibilities of who ya think he might be, then no my sista, you don’t know from whence you speak. When you’re talking what you know, you can speak in the direct sense of who God is, his relationship with you and what he’s done for you…not none of the bogus stuff you spewed, laced with hatred.

Love,

Sister Sinai

Which dude will you roll off of on Saturday night cause you can’t be late to repent in church on Sunday morning? Classic just classic. By the way when “God” spoke to Moses at the bush..she told him tell them I AM. she didn’t say tell them this is God, or Rai or Allah. just “I Am” but hey everyone believes.

Cee

I just don’t like the issue with not knowing my own strength when doing simple tasks.

I know that feeling all too well. Before peanut butter started coming in plastic jars, I broke a number of glass jars trying to open them. I forget my strength sometimes and it can be frustrating.

Have a good weekend.

Melo N-joy the birthday celebrations

Melo, mid-eastern strife has basis in a couple different things.

God gave the land to Abraham, promising his first born son’s line would be His chosen people. Muslims argue with Christians and Jews over who the first son is.

It came to a head after W.W.II, when the allies took land from Palestinians (a gross simplification, really) and gave it to Jews to create their own state of Israel. The rest of the region disagrees with that, to this day.

The US supports Israel, because we put them there after W.W.II, and because the Bible says Israel wins.

melo Add up everything you already know about me. Does any of it suggest you’ll ever be able to add that to the list? Move on to relishing those visions of the shoe show dancing in your head. I’ve pre-paid 10 mins w/ Hottt Chocolate for you.

Dan Does it matter if your boss or someone you respect refers to you as N—- or boy rather than the D? Guess it’s all interchangeable cuz they’re referring to the same person, huh? Whatever acts adults choose to engage in are fine. It’s the negative tone that can diminish a woman’s openess about em. Try it the reverse way next time and see if you get the bizness or the hot pot of grits. Oh & I think you’re tellin a fib on Swizzie’s folk. It’s just not as common.

Cee I knew the smelling salts would work. Not surprised at the Chief, given previously mentioned parallels.

Have a lovely weekend y’all.

Good night everyone!!

God loves everyone, but probably prefers ‘fruits of the spirit’ over ‘religious nuts!’

Give someone a hug and be thankful for all that you have!

Melo I meant “go home” as in leave work. Thanks for the playbook offer, but I developed my own over the years. Can’t go by another man’s playbook…gotta create and execute your own plays.

Kym I feel you. The whole concept of immaculate conception, death, resurrection on the third day is not specific to christianity. Many cultures and religions that predated chrisianity for thousands of years have had these concepts, i.e. Isis and baby Horus. The lives of Horus and Jesus exactly parallel each other. Pretty much all of christianity is borrowed from earlier religions, even (dare I say) the concept of monotheism. People just believe what they’ve always been told without searching for the truth themselves.
