But you do know the type of people the "birthday girl" generally hangs out with.

Nah. You just need to hang out with better people.

I'm going to vote "Yes," but she needs to make a chocolate cake. Not a "ganache" or a "torte" and def not any of the "Black Forest" stuff. An actual chocolate cake that's moist and with chocolate icing that she almost ran out of.

Your mother's story nearly mirrors that of my aunt Lillian, who died of liver cancer in 1990. Liver cancer is pretty much fatal, but by the time it was discovered, it was too advanced for most treatment. I can't help but wonder what if.

"I’m simply not counting Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson’s and Vin Diesel’s ethnically ambiguous asses…"

Wow. You really didn't pay attention there, young brother. The "Frequently bought together" section just below includes the "Leegoal Twilight Retro Bandage [that's an "a"] Synthetic Leather Pen Bag Pencil Case Makeup Pouch(Dark Brown)"

"Jesus Day?" If I was a believer, I'd be backing away from the keyboard to avoid the inevitable lightning strike right now.

I'm partial to this one. It says so much.

I'm sorry, but they still have to be invited to the cookout…

Okay so he's the first Black athlete *who the media likes* to divorce his white wife and marry a Black woman…

Best response possible.

My only issue with this is that you kinda bashed University of Phoenix up there. U of P — like many for-profit educational institutions — is certainly not without its problems, but those are problems of the institution. You came across (to me anyway) as coming down on the people who for whatever reason, choose to…

The same person who said that someone said it was.
