I remember seeing “Electric Horsemen” and wondering if they were having a truly scorching affair. There’s a scene with just the two characters talking about he is a surprise in her life and their interaction was one of the sexiest things I’ve seen on screen. Who knew that a man actually, actively, paying attention to…

They didn’t have to escalate to the point where the mentally ill man was clearly going to be killed. The area around him was clear, he was not paying attention to the cop, until the cop ran up on him screaming. At that point, that man was gonna die - because he was put into a position where killing him could be…

I live in a small city/large town, and while there are several credit unions and local banks, the only nation-wide bank is Wells Fargo. I do business back east and it is a LOT easier for my contractors to cash a check from them than from my extremely local savings and loan. I love my s & l (it still has passbooks!),…

Predatory banking is going to become more and more prevalent, and we really need to step up teaching folks how banking works in this country. Starting with setting goals when you walk into one so you don’t end up signing up for something you can’t afford, or finding your name on something you never agreed to.

If he is really a fan of history, then he’d know a bunch of those cowboys he thinks he’s like, weren’t white.

The Defenders. Lord, that was bad. Ms. Weaver does look her age, and will OWN the “bad-assed bitch/HBIC woman of a certain age” roles until she retires. My guess is she avoided getting work done by the usual “Hollywood” plastic surgeons, got some good advice about keeping the changes subtle and in no way interfering…

I’m not up for fighting the Feds. I’ve inherited some assets that good people worked their asses off for, and I’m not losing them to the KKKebbler Elf. The second my cash-strapped state decides to cave-in to pressure from InJustice Department, I’m holding a private blaze-a-thon, and switching back to legal booze. In…

Yep. I know enough folks of color with chronic pain, and a bit of capital, to seriously talk about investment in incubators like this. Problem is, though we are in a legal state, none of us are gonna risk losing our homes. My money stays put until Jeff Sessions goes away.

It was. Mine was an expert at home training. Time I ended up in her breakroom crying ‘cause some older, white boys chased me through town spitting on me and hitting me, she sat me down, told me the uplifting tale of the time she opened the head of a boy causing her grief with a piece of lead pipe. Woman helped…

Find a tailor. Mine is a hole-in-the-wall place run by a Vietnamese woman who mainly does work for the military - and yes, those dress uniforms need to be altered. Very few of us look good in clothes just off the rack. An extra 20 bucks to get a piece altered is a worthwhile investment in clothes you plan to hold on…

Oh, please. Talk about your tired stereotypes. Every one of my relatives who lives near one, shops there on occasion, if not on the regular.. Yes, even us Black folk like organic veggies. I don’t shop in one usually, ‘cause the nearest one is 1,500 airmiles miles away, but every time I’m in the District and getting…

She is talking about someone who is SEVEN years old. No, that kid should not be spending that much time in front of a mirror. When I was seven, the only time I looked at one was when I was brushing my teeth and the mirror was right in front of me. Also, to check my hair.

I did read a bunch of “think pieces” about Ms. Fey’s performance. They were all nicely typed.

Folks tried, and tried, and tried, and tried to educate you. Since that failed:

Welp, that was ... typed.

Sigh. My neighbors just painted their new front door red. Jerks. I wanted to paint mine red first, but I didn’t own my house at the time so I couldn’t. *pout* So, maybe I’ll do mine in Prince Purple too!

That was one long world salad bar. Too bad there was nothing there but some nasty semi-rotten lettuce and a couple of dried out beet slices.

Real people are dead. Real people are in critical condition in hospitals.

Antifa is a word that was made up last Thursday. Most of us had to look it up yesterday.

*sniffle* This brings such joy to my heart! Kinda feel sorry for the flowers though. He touched them and there is no way from them to get that stank off until it rains. Poor flowers ...
