    Vape or smoke?

    I smoked for maybe 5 or 6 years. I can't say why I started, I guess it was just the social circle I was in at the time but I quit cold turkey and haven't had one in like 4 years now.

    Satin bonnet or satin pillowcase?

    I use pillowcases. I hate sleeping with stuff on my head. I feel like I am more prone to scratching my scalp in my sleep when I do. These are the ones I use and I swear by them: https://www.amazon.com/Adubor-Pillowcase-Mulberry-Breathable-20×26inch/dp/B07VKRTKRM/

    Do you go to yard sales?

    Back in 2014 I was staying with a friend and her mom. She was having some windows redone and couldn't hang up any blinds so she headed down to the Goodwill and picked up some sheets to hang over the windows. Needless to say, one of them sheets has bed bugs in it. She never did treatment for it...

    Online Privacy

    Maybe it is just me, but I legit have my laptop camera covered as well as my front-facing camera on my phone covered. I never buy cameras or camcorders that have wifi access either or use my phone to take pictures I wouldn't want leaked out into the world.

    Take A Bow, Queens!

    Happy to be here! I hope to see this place grow and flourish with many other women and men joining the place. Having a community you can get serious with but clown around with is the internet dream.

    Would you ever get tech implants?

    I'd rather live in the woods and deal with nature than have a tracking device put in me LOL You ever hear of the dude who burned down his own house for insurance money? He got busted because he had a pacemaker in him.

    Crashing parties and other events

    I only crashed one and it was by mistake. I had no idea I was part of the crashing group. A friend of mine told me she was invited and could bring a few guests. Turns out we were crashing her ex's birthday party. He was cool about it at first but she ended up getting kicked out not even an hour...

    Do you go to yard sales?

    This is something I did a lot growing up. I would go with my mom and grandma and I had a lot of fun. My mom would give me $10 to buy whatever I wanted but I only had that $10 so I had to decide if I really wanted something or if I wanted to wait for the next sale. She also said I could save it...

    What are some goals you want to accomplish before 2021 ends?

    I would like to work more on my dreams. I make decent money working at the clinic but it is not something I want to do for the rest of my life. I would like to invest more time in writing and try to get a few blogs going. See if I can get some online earnings and move down to part-time. So as of...

    Weddings, ugh, like them or hate them?

    I have been to some fun ones and some not so fun ones. I find the smaller ones tend to be better. Once you get a bigger gathering going, something is bound to pop off. I saw a few fights break out. My older brother's wedding was a good one. He has a smaller wedding and he and my sis in law did...

    How often do you eat meat?

    Around here it seems to be LOL Everyone in my family calls them stank burgers because they insist they smell like dog food. When they used to sell them at BK and I would order one, the workers would get pissed at me lol

    Online Privacy

    I know, it is the sad truth. You can do everything possible but something is still being tracked. I just don't want to hand it over without a fight. I made sure my internet provider isn't getting my info either by switching the DNS. Screw them! lol

    Taking You Back to the 90's

    Yup! Was the case at my house as well. I grew up with two brothers so someone was always having friends over playing something. Fun times. Miss being a kid numb and dumb to the world lol

    Online Privacy

    Do you care about your online privacy? This is a topic I can say I never thought I would care about up until a few years ago. I became rather paranoid with things when all these reports were coming out about how the government and the big tech corporations were spying on us and using our...

    Creatives thread

    Before I got away from Insta, I followed some artists with mad skills. I will have to see if I can remember their names and share some of their work here. I do a bit of drawing. I am okay with it. I got myself a digital drawing pad this year but I am still trying to figure it out. I grew up...

    Taking You Back to the 90's

    I can't see any of this, I have Insta blocked, same with Facebook. I do miss the '90s. I feel like that was such a cool time period to be alive. Tech was booming but it wasn't everywhere. Coming home after school and looking forward to the weekends to kick it with friends and play games on...

    Tuskegee Syphilis Study

    If you are not familiar, here it is in a nutshell: There have been several “studies” (experiments) run on people throughout modern history using risky drugs, vaccination, and fake treatments. This is one prime example why a lot of people, especially black people, are not trusting this...

    How common do you think catfishing is on black only dating sites?

    I mean I don't see anything wrong with using a fake profile to see who's on the platform but what happens if someone gets interested in your fake self? That would end up being a mess to explain lol

    Have You Done The Duck Flower Cleanse?

    I'll just stick with my nasty wheatgrass and coconut oil. You know you can get some pretty solid detoxification from both especially if you mix in some rebounding. You don't need to suffer to get the bad stuff out your body! lol

    Zillow Drives Up Home Values to Increase Their Profit

    This is legal!? I never use Zillow. I only use Trulia for house shopping and looking around. I wonder if they are doing this as well. I mean what kind of scam they trying to pull off here? How are you able to know if you are buying from a person or a bot for the site as well? I mean I have gone...
