    When do you think this nonsense will end?

    Between people still living in fear over the virus damn near 2 years later, issues with stock and shortages, inflation hitting every aspect of our lives... When is this nonsense going to end? I am over here trying to plan for my future and I am afraid to take any step forward when it comes to...

    COVID-19 Megathread

    I notice when I was doing some shopping yesterday, meat prices are almost double what they were just 2 years ago. The shelves are looking more and more empty too. My mom actually got herself a used freezer and started storing meats last year. I probably should have done the same. Of everything...

    Does Africa Owe Black Americans Reparations?

    I feel like putting it all on Africa does take away from the fact that it was wrong to begin with. Back then, it was legal and the people in this country could have chosen not to participate but they did so they are just as much to blame as the people who were doing the selling. Africa made a...

    Buying new, used, or leasing?

    The older I get the more I question the logic of driving around junk cars. Like I know if you need a car and don't have the cash for something better, that is the option you have to go with but you risk a lot driving one around. I have always been a bit paranoid of older used cars myself. I was...

    Would you marry an ex-stripper, escort, prostitute, etc.?

    Yeah, women can be very indecisive, I know from experience. Like if I am interested in someone and they aren't showing me any signs of being interested back, I am not going to wait around. Maybe I am old school with this but I think men need to be the ones to approach women, not the other way...

    Would you marry an ex-stripper, escort, prostitute, etc.?

    I feel the same with drug addicts. Like people can change but there is always the chance they slip back and I can't handle that risk, especially not when I want to have kids in the future. I feel you 100%.

    If You Don't Laugh, You're Dead Inside

    LOL She is just laughing at her mother like "you can't tell me ish!!" mjlol I love kids when they are at this age. They are so fun to watch. Some of the stuff they think is funny is hilarious too.

    Today Is My Born Day...

    Happy Birthday! I wish you many years of health, wealth, and happiness. That is awesome you share a birthday with one of the greats. MLK was such an amazing and inspiring man. I loved learning about him growing up.

    Buying new, used, or leasing?

    This is true. Some brands/builds have higher value than others cause they are built to last longer. You just have to take care of them. I heard/read that used car prices are up right now as well which could be good for anyone looking to sell a used car to get a newer one. Not sure how much they...

    The Circle of Life

    I actually used to want one as a pet but because of their intelligence, they tend to not be ideal to keep. If they are bored or understimulated, they become very destructive. I wouldn't mind befriending a wild one if given the chance though.

    Gathering Of The Grandpas

    Yeah it is a bit... Weird. Like the only time I see an older dude acting/being hard is when it comes to Italian mobs and even then, they are actual criminals. Not some old rappers who settled down and have kids, money, and protection. They have nothing to worry about at this point. lol

    Gathering Of The Grandpas

    LOL'd at the title with the connection to the video. I mean they are old. I am not going to hate on them for wanting to put out music. I prefer this kind of rap over the mumble, pop, club garbage from the last 10 years if I am being completely honest with you. The thing is... They are old now...

    Would you marry an ex-stripper, escort, prostitute, etc.?

    This is a question for the guys. I want to see your take on this. It was a convo I was having at work the other day. A few of us ladies were asking the men around the clinic if they would. Only one of them said yes. So say you met a woman who you find very attractive who has a good personality...

    Finding A Wife In Africa

    How do you think people adjust to marrying women who are from Africa when coming from the US? My youngest brother recently said he is going to go to Africa to find himself an African queen. I thought he was joking. I bet he is watching videos like this lol I feel like the cultural differences...

    Buying new, used, or leasing?

    When it comes to cars, which do you think is the best option overall? Cars drop in value right away soon as you drive them off the lot. I can't remember the average they drop but it almost seems criminal when you look the prices doing down. I used to think buying a new car was a good investment...

    The Circle of Life

    Crows, ravens, and the like are all HIGHLY intelligent. Did you see those videos where they trained them to recycle? I can't remember what channel it was on but they will pick up bottle caps and similar things and bring them to a recycling unit for a reward. It is crazy! They can talk too...

    Do you think your past experiences help you decide on what you want?

    This is something a lot of women say and share. It seems like we all have our own levels of baggage but when you are able to sort through it prior to starting a new relationship, it makes it way easier. Like I could have brought my ish in my new relationship and let my emotions and trust issues...

    Otter Handling His Business

    Yeah, I want kids, I don't need animals acting like kids on top of having them. Seems like all foxes are like this. Cool to own if you have an outdoor space but not ideal to have them living with you like a cat or dog.

    Americans Continue To Quit

    They have to know this primarily hurts black communities too. I am convinced of that now. I don't trust anyone in the government at this point. Money easily sways them and they have their own agendas. With the economy tanking and everything, would not surprise me if these dems and reps are just...

    Would you ever consider micro-farming?

    There is so much knowledge and experience with older women when it comes to cooking, gardening, etc. that I think younger people these days don't appreciate. I would have loved to have a close relationship with my grandma and learned this stuff from her. Too little too late for me though.
