Sigh, she frustrated me. One one hand - its bound to happen, you say or do something insensitive or from a position of privileged or ignorance. It happens. But she crossed that line so much it went from misstep, to “this chick really don’t get it”...like there is a spectrum from “woke” to “Stacey Dash/Clueless”,…

*slippery slope engaged*

It’s a night and day thing, creating in solitude, vs with others. In solitude, my music is typically more somber, more bass heavy, slower tempo - a reflection of the mood...to break that I have to inject energy from other sources...sometimes listening to songs closer to the direction I’m aiming for, to just get me…

I have to bark back at this article and the ones popping up like it that are just pouring on because “it’s in”.

We did our due diligence the first go around, things just slowly fell apart after a few years, our issue with him was living remotely caused us to be too passive about kicking him out. Second go around was more personal - in short her dad moved in after living with us the past year and change. However he lost his…

Naw, not moving - we are essentially in our dream house, and it was within our means at purchase, our issues - while they suck - are temporary - and magnified by our savings being drained...bought the house used most of our savings between purchasing and furniture, started recouping savings, AC issues that went beyond…

This is a touchy one. My family falls in the middle class and are going through a major financial strike (was climbing out of an issue that killed our finances, and another issue is in the *middle* of happening). I’m not reading the article *right now* as this was a five minute excel break at work (heh), but I…

impromptu carbonara...not bad...

Another option...cook a pack of ramen noodle without the season packet, then mix in the left overs. Season to taste as necessary...

Cookbooks and recipes are for the average person “evil”. You spend more money than you normally would to buy that one seasoning you won’t use again until the on you have is already bad, the proportions are never right, leaving you with not enough or too much, and due to in-experience with a new recipe - that shiny…

A couple things...first the number of apps needed is a HUGE turn-off, I haven’t used my second wifi controlled outlet because I bought it on sale, and it was a different company than the one installed....so I’m waiting for the one I have installed to go on sale again to get more.

All this is very true, heck a large reason for the existence of loyalty cards - is for tracking purposes, but I have to ask...is this a bad thing? I’d much rather get “slapped” by targeted ads...like on Youtube, due to my watching habits, I get a ton of music based ads - I’d much rather that, than getting bombarded…

Unless that [choice] involves abortion *AAAAAAYYYYYYYYYEEEEEE*

Pardon my ignorance...but where is the benefit in this that makes it better than the ACA? (I’m personally done calling it Obamacare) People wanted to b!tch about it so much, yet I can’t see any redeeming value in ANY of this.

*reads article*
*reads like 90% of benefits can be had from working out*

*ding dsing ding*

I’m a black guy, I still remember vividly after that, shaking my head in sadness at the profiling. It was like “that’s what I go through”, and I’d NEVER want anyone to go what we go through...but the same way I get nervous in certain situations I shouldn’t be nervous in - I saw the same look of unfair fear. …

Ah this is great. My friends and I have this FB thing where we try and one-up each other with nasty Oreo flavors...Peeps is the current winner...

::sigh:: that’s like 30 minutes from where my son will go to high school. This was not part of “wanting to be a black parent” that I realized I was going to have to deal with.

I just f#cking can’t.
Sure rappers are setting black people back...sure...baggy pants...blah blah blah...
No we are going to ignore how far back the black guy that white people like saying b#llsh!t like this.
