Evil professional writer, Holly Jahangiri, is having a “procedure” and didn’t want everybody to get all “pink and smarmy” so she took it out on her list.
Give it a go… and post a comment.
I did.

There’s a difference between White Love and Black Love. Who knew?
Amy DuBois Barnett, Editor-in-chief of Ebony, explains her “aha” moment. She was with her family at Thanksgiving and her mother-in-law said:
Well, Black Love is a special love. Because all we have endured as a people, it’s hard to us to feel good enough about ourselves to feel. But when we do love, we love hard.
ADBB decided that Ebony was going to take on Black Love and explain to those of use who didn’t know there was a difference how…
So much of what Black folks have gone through has damaged our self-esteem and our ability to see a positive future.
Ebony commissioned a study which is representative of African-Americans. Wait. I thought this was about Blacks.
I get so confused.
Onward.
Why Oprah isn’t all over this study is beyond me. (Well, aside from the fact that she’s gay.)
Get this: not only is there Black Love, African-American women really prefer to marry rich causasians who drink.
Whuck? There are causasians. Day-am, I’m so glad I read Ebony. (I also subscribe to Latina, Esquire, and Maxim too, so shut up!)
Causasians (according to the census bureau) describes a group commonly called White Americans. Dammit, I get so confused, I thought those were Caucasians. Nope.
Onward.
Suitable partner requirements that black women want in their man (according to the study):
78% – Good Income
46% – Causasian
42% – Drinks Alcohol
Here are some other qualities black women ranked in double digits:
40% – Hispanic
30% – Asian
17% – Uses Pot
15% – Different Religion
Coke users ranked a measly 4% on the desirability scale.
Black Love is different that White Love. Ebony said so.
I am so confused.
66% of black men have cheated on their partner. 43% of Black women have cheated, but add marriage and the equation flip-flops. 25% of Black women have cheated but only 9% of men.
Yeah, you still have to use a browser to access GoingLikeSixty.com but a plug-in detects you are on a smart phone and reformats the blog to be more iPhone friendly.
was the culprit (numbers have been changed to protect the innocent.)
Yeah, a UPS tracking number from Office Depot.
Here it is FULL FRIGGIN’ SIZE.
I was shipping payola to St. Todd DeCubbville. It was a 27″x24″x7 3/4″ box of money – small used currency of mixed denominations.
Being careful, I wanted him to have the UPS tracking number.
I just had my eyes checked last week. I commented to Nancy that I wouldn’t need new anything since my prescription had not changed. The doctor confirmed that I am still blind as a one armed paper hanger on stilts.
Between my five focals: tri-focal glasses, single-focal computer glasses, and head-focal au natural vision, I could not get the tracking number typed correctly until I had a set of young eyes read them while I typed.
I remember being 40 and losing patience with geezers who would hold a sheet of paper (shakey too) at arms length, then push their glasses up on their forehead, bring the paper to their nose, then whip off one pair of glasses and put on another pair, hand the sheet of paper to me and say “can you read that?”
