I just checked my inbox and I have 10 promotions some from Duane Reade/Walgreens, Marriott, Twitter, REI, etc. Just because I buy something from you doesn't mean I want to be pestered day in and day out with e-mails. Ok, Crest is $2.00s off, thanks Walgreens, I really needed to know that this morning. Oh Twitter, @LaffyFaffy878 made a post about Minecraft that was exactly what I was wondering about this morning!!!!!

I hate to rant but this has been bugging me. It's a constant fight with my unsubscribe button.

It is looking like there will be hard times ahead. Judging from the past, the black community's biggest problem is resource availability. More important than availability, is knowledge. I found a website that has collegiate level subjects for free. Please take advantage and pass around.. B1

I will be honest, it didn’t hit me hard until I saw an article about it and looked into it more. I thought more about it myself because I work at a clinic. I see more black women with this issue than white women and more women in general as compared to men. They say your risk of diabetes increases when your stomach or waist measurement is over 35 inches (for men it is 40). I know in general, the US is filled with people who weigh too damn much but this puts black women at the highest risk of diabetes!

Why in the hell then are these "body positive" movements using black women? Like if you are a big girl and you are happy, you do your thing but this is just contributing to a big problem no one seems to be talking about. This is not just going to affect the lives of these ladies but it will impact the health of any children they have. Why are we not having discussions about this?

This is a long read but apparently the water in Benton Harbor, MI is extremely poisoned - Even worse than Flint. The nearby "white town", St. Joseph, of course has perfect water. This has been going on for three years without the city, county, or state taking any action despite the water consistently testing above the federal limit.

A Black town’s water is more poisoned than Flint’s. In a white town nearby, it’s clean

I love starting my day with fresh green juice! It's like a delicious boost of energy, and it's super healthy.
Have you tried juicing?

Has anyone here dated older women? I'm in my mid 20s right now and I have been into older women as of late. I think it's their maturity, because let's face it a lot of young women out there are overly immature and can't grasp relationships. I mean, that's how I feel from my past relationships with women my age. Anyway, I've considered dating older women as of late, because I feel like I will never find a woman my age who's not always wanting to party at the club or bars, or go to these big ass concerts. Which is fine, but take a damn break right?

Anyway, I'm on a few dating sites trying to meet some older women. Have you guys and gals tried to meet older women/men on any dating apps or out in public somewhere? I wouldn't say I've sworn off women my age though, just the ones who are crazy about partying often. I can't do the partying anymore. I used to drink way too much, and I can't go through that again honestly.

Are you still friends with anyone from your childhood? I'm not friends with any of them which I guess is kind of sad lol Most of them I just grew a part from but I did have a pretty big falling out with my best friend in high school. I've wondered how a few of them are doing but I think it's best to leave the past in the past for the most part.

I am an open person. I have dated different types of men be it race, background, height, or weight but it is clear that there are some real weird people out there who look to fetishize these things. I have met men who will only date Asian women (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) and they were white or black. I have met women who will only date black men and they were white. I even met an Asian man who only found black women beautiful (but to his own standard of beauty).

We all have our preferences but when does a preference cross the line and become a fetish? What are some signs to look out for? I want to hear from both ladies and gents on this one.

We’re in an age where women have found a new level of autonomy which has caused us to buck many traditional gender roles e.g. subordinance, domestic duties, child rearing, etc.

So what do you think a woman’s role is in the modern world where women have grown accustom to the autonomy but want to maintain the role of male as the main provider?

Do you return to the traditional gender roles or is it a hybrid?

Ladies, if the man is willing and able to pay all the bills and provide you a comfortable life would you be willing to forgo work out of the house to tend domestic duties, child rearing, etc? @sourgrapes @lexodyssey @Caprice @Ebonyjo @sunshinenmay25 @Cassandra113364 @Red Velvet @Tati 304

Men, what would you require from your woman if you’re meeting 100% of the financial obligations? @The Haze Of Our Lives @HennyPapi @TheHarmattan @Deluge @De'Londa Brice @SnakeyG

Pfizer is voluntarily recalling all lots of its anti-smoking drug Chantix due to high levels of cancer-causing agents called nitrosamines in the pills.

The recall is for all lots of 0.5 mg and 1 mg varenicline tablets, the Food and Drug Administration said Thursday. Long-term ingestion of the drug can lead to a "potential increased cancer risk in humans, but there is no immediate risk to patients taking this medication."

For this reason, the FDA said on Friday that patients taking the recalled drug "should continue taking their current medicine until their pharmacist provides a replacement or their doctor prescribes a different treatment."

"The health benefits of stopping smoking outweigh the cancer risk from the nitrosamine impurity in varenicline," the FDA added.

Pfizer initially paused distribution of the drug in June, and has already recalled a number of lots of the medicine so far. At the time, the company said the pause in distribution was conducted out of an abundance of caution, pending further testing. Pfizer then expanded the recall to additional lots of the anti-smoking drug in August.

Chantix was approved by the FDA in May 2006 as a prescription medication to help adults aged 18 and over quit smoking and is typically used for 12 to 24 weeks.

This is the company that people are shaming us to get the vaccine for...think about that. What if a couple years down the line we find out that some crap like this happens with the vaccine?
