Cuss at your momma and live to talk about it Really?
Have you ever yelled or cussed at your parents?
This girl thought it would be a good idea to yell and cuss at her momma!
The brother in the video is HILARIOUS. Even though you know he is DEAD WRONG for cussing around his momma too.
Wait....there's MORE.
If 2:02 on the video happened in my home. Please believe I would be posting this blog from prison. I can't even imagine what it feels like to give birth to someone and have them raise their voice and better yet, CUSS at me? No way!
What??????????
My favorite part was when she told her mom she's GROWN! She's 18.
Is 18 really grown when you're still living at home with your momma?
All kidding aside, this situation could have turned out tragic or worse...... As her brother said, "In the butt!" Let me stop.
thank you youtoldharpotobeatme for this gem!

To be forgiven or to be the forgiver?
Who holds the most burden?
I remember when I was about 11 or 12. I stole $10 out of my choir director's purse at church. She knew I took it and came up to me after the practice and said, "I know you took my money and I am going to let you keep it but, I am going to let you know that I am watching you." "You better do some good with that money." I was shocked. First, I got caught stealing then instead of being forced to give the money back, I'm told to do some good with the money.
I am 38 years old and I've never forgotten that incident. She never told my grandmother. (Thank GOD) I begged her NOT to tell. She said she would NOT tell but, she was going to be watching me to make sure I did something good with the money.
Like what? What could I possibly do good with $10? She said, "I'll let you figure that out. You're the one that decided to go in my purse and steal my money, you figure it out. I am not going to discuss this anymore and I'm never going to bring it up again."
Choir rehearsals and events were never the same in my book. She never treated me any differently though. Every time she saw the group, she would always give us hugs and kisses, taught us the most beautiful songs, never raised her voice at us and took us on a lot of trips to other churches to sing. I never told anyone about the incident. I always peed myself a little when my grandmother would drop us off at practice. I just knew that would be my last day of living. LOL
It still haunts me every now and then. I can't even remember what I did with the money or what good I wound up doing. All I can be thankful for is my grandmother NEVER finding out because she would have whooped myass butt right there in church. Those of you that grew up in my generation know exactly what I'm talking about! She was the head of the Usher board, the community service organization and the ingathering for the pathfinder group and more. She was HARDcore and I was afraid of her.
Funny thing is, she was the sweetest woman ever. One day she's blessing and praying over you for any and everything. The next day she is snatching you up by the ear because you 'thought' about talking back to her. Those were the good old days. Remember the good old days? Try looking at this new generation of kids sideways, they wanna call 911 on you! Humph!
I miss my grandma.
I always wonder if it's easier to forgive or easier to be forgiven. To me, BOTH hold great weight.
Question: Take your pick. To forgive OR be forgiven. That is the question.

Hey, that was my prize! OR was it?
You give your ticket to someone because you're unable to attend an event. There's a HUGE prize given out that day. The person you gave your ticket to, WINS and WINS big too!
Example: A new car, an all expense paid for trip, $$$, the examples are endless.
What would you do?
How would you feel?

The odd man out.
Remember THIS clip from Sesame Street back in the day?
There are objects placed next to each other and ONE of the items obviously don't belong.
Tell me.....which ONE of these items are out of place?
You can find these videos in my favorite store of all. CVS! Ugh. I had to leave.

What would you do?
What would you do??--This is a serious question--Need Feedback.
You're at the playground and a child (age 2-4) starts screaming and pointing at YOUR child's (age 2-4) hat saying, "I'm scared, I'm scared!!"
The other mom asked the "kid with the scary hat" mom to remove the hat from their child's head.
What would you do? (if you were the mom of the scary hat kid)
What would you do? (if you were the mom of the kid that was afraid of the scary hat?)
Note: It's a cowboy hat.
Everyone can answer the question hypothetically too. I want all feedback. Thanks.

Here's the photo of the 'fixed' uneven hair.
I wanted the stylist to cut my hair to make it even and she said NO! She actually said, No honey, that's not the answer. It's normal for your hair to do this. Don't worry, the other side will catch up.
SCREEEEECH!
What? Yeah, that's when I started text messaging people asking them to please just say a prayer. I'm having a rough time at the hair salon. Nell had the nerve to laugh and say girl, behave, you don't want to end up bald. She was right. Don't talk crap about anyone that's going to do your hair! Thanks :) Good looking out! LOL
The other side will catch up? Like you can lose weight on one part of your body. Yeah, like I wanna lose my pouch but, not my butt or breasts. Umm...they're a package deal woman. Focus!
Ok, back to the hair.
She 'trimmed' the uneven parts just a teeny tiny bit and this is the final result.
My hair is 'tucked' in on the longer side so you can't really tell the uneveness (is that a word) of my hair.
Ugh. I am going to the wig store this week. I'm just really having a hard time dealing with this hair stuff. The husband doesn't want to me chop it all off again.
Yes, I do ask his feedback on my hair issues. I don't want to have unnecessary issues in my home. He agreed to the hair in the box but, I'm not sure how he's going to feel about the wig. I'm off to have a talk with the mister. I'll keep you updated.
I know he'll say....do whatever you feel. Which means, thanks for checking with me even though I know you'll do whatever you want anyway.
He's so sweet. I love that man.
Here's the hair:
The husband and family says it looks nice and to leave it alone. I feel like crying. I'll have to find a middle ground for this hair business.
I tried braids (i'm not sure i can sit through all that again)
I tried a weave for 15 minutes (the first track made me quiver and I asked missy to stop) I couldn't go through it.
Wish we luck!

My day at the hair salon.
I went to get my hair done yesterday. As I mentioned in the earlier post, my hair has decided to grow back UNEVENLY. Again.
Instead of my usual (at the kitchen sink) services. I decided to splurge on myself and go to a hair salon.
My appointment was 2pm. I arrived at 1:50pm. I was greeted and asked to sit down in the front waiting area. No problem. I grabbed a magazine and sat back to relax while I waited for my turn in the salon chair.
I glance over at the hairdresser and she's dressed really nicely and her hair was very stylishly done. She got cool points from me for that. Have you ever gone to a hairdresser where the stylists hair was just RAGGEDY?????
Would that make you feel uneasy about getting your hair done?
Anyway back to the story.
I'm halfway through the magazine when I look up at the clock at it reads 2:30pm. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to say this is my main reason why I really detest going to hair salons. I make eye contact with the hairdresser and she says, "you're next" as soon as I sit her under the dryer.
Umm...yeah, ok. Sure.
It's 2:45 and I'm in the stylist chair. (my appointment was at 2pm)
2:50 the phone rings and she answers it.
3:00 she's still on the phone yapping away about NOTHING.
Since I'm in the chair, I'll tell you what it was about since I wasn't exactly eavesdropping. They're going out tonight, they hope there's some fine ass men in the spot cuz she tired of the same old same old dating scene.
Her: Wha chu wearing?
chick on the other line: blah, blah, blah
Her: I gotta run to the mall real quick to pick me up something, NO I'm not going to be late. Stop tripping.
See?????????? The conversation was about NOTHING.
Ok, this is where I want to know as the customer, how would you feel? It's your FIRST time going to this hair salon, it's the FIRST time you've had your hair done by this person.
How would you feel about the service so far?
Timecheck:
3:15 Perm has been applied and you're asked to sit in the chair by the sink. Let her know if you start burning. She has to style the other ladies hair while you (with the perm on your hair) wait.
3:25 or 3:30 I can't even remember and NO she didn't set a timer or nothing--- She rinses you out and there's some tingling on the nape of your hair. You start to freak out because you get a flashback of the episode of martin when she-nay-nay burns off all Freda's hair. LOL
3:50-Treatment conditioner applied and placed under dryer
4:15-Rinse out and some other steps
4:30-In the stylist chair for Leave in conditioner application then placed back under the dryer. Have I ever mentioned how much I HATE being under the dryer?
4:45-Wrap then styled.
5:15-Finished. I breathe a sigh of relief.
5:30-Pay with credit card gave her tip in cash then RUN out the store to drink and smoke a cigarette. I'm joking about the cigarette part but, I damn sho know how it feels to want to smoke and drink after all that!
Question(s):
If you have a 2:00pm hair appointment, what time would you like to be sitting in the stylist chair? What is the realistic time to sit in the stylist chair?
Do you think it's rude for your stylist to talk on the phone while they're doing your hair?

When keeping it real (goes wrong)
You remember my post about "You go girl?"
Well, she's still at it. I haven't had the guts to cut her at the ankles yet. I was on the verge of telling her to go sit her $5 ass down somewhere before I made change but, then I remember what happened to Dave when keeping it real went terribly wrong.
Click HERE.
I'll keep you posted on the outcome of me and the "You go girl" *sigh*

The Dirty Dozens (gone wrong)
Remember when we were growing up and the dirty dozens were the clean versions like I dare you to knock this rock off my shoulders?
Or when you would battle someone in a group to throw some baby powder on the floor or a cardboard box and have at it on the dance floor?
Well...apparently, times have changed and so have the rules.
Check THIS out. I think it's safe to say, Green Hat dude should have seen that one coming. I know I did. A Mile away that is. LOL
Ouch.

Don't ever touch a black woman's hair unless
Don't ever touch a black woman's hair unless of course, you want to get cut.
I want to know how Brandy and the other lady (her name escapes me) sat there with a straight face when Babs touched and asked very rude questions about their hair.
Take notes people.
Don't you ever touch a black woman's hair. EVER.
You got it?
Good.
