After what I read yesterday...I'M DONE!

Common bond of life for me with the food, the low esteem that still surrounds me even with sexy jeans and my daily struggle with not eating what Im not suppose to.  I have some experience in this area so its more easy for me to let down my guard and get some help. You are welcome for the response.

Carolyn....don't let this board confuse you gurl....just have to take some things with a grain of salt! Take what you can use and the rest...place on the curbside for the trash man to pick up! Hugs.

Now see... I was gonna leave it alone, but since you brought it up......
I guess I am jus' an ole relic...
That is the kind of thang you share with your girls ...not a public forum full of strangers. BTW (I know y'all thought i was gonna quote sum scriptures....HAHAHAHA ...fooled y'all) I am a Christian but, I am also a woman (and very black I might add)
But I digress....It left a bad taste in my mouth becuz of the seriousness of the sistah's signature. My greatest fear raising my children was that they would fall prey to a predator. I still have much empathy for her.......
Sex has been demoted by this society to recreation. I do understand that. But unless as #1 MM, stated it is a forum on style and technique( and I prefer we use technical terms, the profanity makes it soooo common) for me its TMI.
There is the option of PM. Cut and paste and PM away. Just my humble opinion.

I hope all works out for the sistah.Giving away the milk w'o even a lease option usually don't work in this economy. Then you are left picking up the pieces. Is it worth it?

  I can't BELEIVE I lost that bet!!!   I just knew you were going to quote some word....... LOL!!!

as far as giving away the milk..... hell - sometimes you don't intend to do it that way - but it's been on the shelf so long, you gotta open the container to make sure it ain't spoiled.....


LMAOOOOO

just fell the heyll out! Trina...girl, bye! LOL!

 @ Mack Mamma  Gurl...I am 53 years old!! There is a whole lot to this ole girl. I wasn't always saved!!!
I wasn't even raised in the church. My mama would have skuuuured Tyler Perry's Madea. We had 38 bullet holes in the kitchen for real. (she was shooting at my step daddy -the dirty dawg) My knick name was Fat Biotch, my sistah was jus a plain ole garden variety biotch.( we both became massively obese as adults.... anybody wanna guess why?) Everythang in our house was "hot". My mamma was a contemporary of the real "Nicky Barnes" (you know from American Gangster) My "play uncle" was one of his enforcers. I prayed with him years later because he confided in me that he could see the faces of the people he had killed. He was a hard core drug addict at that point. So coming from that environment it is no surprise I raised a bunch of hell....matter of fact i had me a 55 passenger bus full of folks going to hell with me and I was driving b4 I got saved.  You did not want to miss one of my party's. But.....That is why I am so passionate about my salvation. I know what the road to hell looks like. and i know there is a Hell!!!
Peace

Isaiah54mom ~ I can't do nothing but respect your post.........you keep it 100 and don't waiver!

Girl! Now you need to write a book about this right hur!  From one 53 year old to another...^5...you have EARNED the right to talk the real talk!

Hollah!

You cannot believe how many people who I have shared my life with over years have said the same thing. (about writing a book)
I got enough material to keep Oprah on the air for the next 30 years. You name it...It was in my krazee family or my own wanderings. TD Jakes said once, "You people all brag about what the LORD saved you from. I wanna brag about what he stoppped me from doin'." (paraphrase)
I know,  I had no conscience!!! Period!!!!I was not raised with a bit of restraint as far as right and wrong was concerned. I have seen what that selfish, self indulgent, morally bankrupt approach to life brings. My step daddy was a low life sexually addicted pedophile (God rest the dead...and yes I told him i forgave him b4 he died and i meant it). My mamma just had to have him( only GOD knows why). He did anything that got within 10 feet of him. And our family enabled it the whole time. My sister has been drug addicted, obese, alcoholic and self destructive her whole life. I never had the nerve to ask her, but i am sure he probably got her too.  Gangsta's (the real deal) ran in and out of our house. They was company. LOL
My mamma used to have coffee ery' mornin with Mistah Clarence. He had killed 2 people (his wife was the 2nd...he did her in front of their two kids) and everyone else on the block was skuuured of him.Thats when i found out that a black womans life in America ain't worth nothin. He did 18 months for killing her and got the kids back. I finally asked my Mamma one day wasn't she scared she might say something to **** him off? she said''Clarence ain't as crazy as he acts and he knows my Azz ain't Pearl(his wife he shot). Imagine having a Mamma like that!!!! No warm fuzzy memories there. BTW she died @ 5AM in her brand new Lincoln town car looking for my stepdaddy who had been MIA for the past 2 days. He found out 1 day later when he decided to come home. I had to go identify her body cuz they didn't know where his new woman lived (he was still married to mamma and supposed to be livin there). Phew!!! i guess thats a good start for chapter one LOL

Hi...yes, that was my point...but some will find no problem with the signature and the message that was given yesterday.

I am sure MANY here wondered the reason for the post...and why someone would place such a personal matter on public display...they have just chosen not to say anything - and that's cool.  However, it actually bothered me because, yes, I know the self-esteem issues many of us faced prior to surgery and the same issues are plaguing folk even after surgery...Perhaps MD's self-esteem has been increased because of her getting 'some'...I don't know..but at any rate, thanks for your response.
