Not only cut off negative thoughts, cut off negative people in your life. Stop covering up. Take it off; hiding behind clothes and thoughts continue our negativity. Covering it up for weeks and months; we wake up and; Oh! my gosh we are upset with what we see. Get rid of the negativity.

I am with you on the "Red Lipstick" it looks really nice on women on all hughes. I have yet to find the one that I think looks nice on me. When you find a "red" or even a cosmetic line that you like let me know.

If you want to get cardio and work out; get some 5lb weights; and do lunges and or squats to the corner and back; you will probably burn as many calories as you would running; but you would be working out more parts of your body. (I work out with a PT 3-4 times a week; and those are the tricks he gives me when I am short on time.

I always thought that Nancy Reagan and Ronald Reagan were in love. President and Mrs. Obama have the love that I thought never existed in real people. Their love can be seen each and every time they are in the presence of one another. I wish them and their family the best. (great picture)

I don't think we will ever see a picture of the first lady, or family all glammed up. From all of the photos that I have seen they are down to earth. I watched the interview from one of the editors of Vogue, and he said "the First Lady wanted to wear what she had in her closet, she did not want to have anyone brought in" All of the interviews with people inside the First Family Circle; comment on how non over the top or "elitest" the First Family wants to portray.

You are so right about the New First Kids; they are cute and beautiful. Sasha knows he is the President, and all that goes with it. But to me he is just daddy, and I am his little girl. I think the biggest thing for Sasha to do over the next year or so is get used to her dad being the President. I do believe by the time she is 10 years old she will be more adjusted and just as mature as Malia will be at 13. But they are what I remember being as a 10 year black child in the 60's. I was not aware of all the hate and predjudice around me. I believe my parents sheltered me from it. Or it could have been the fact that I grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles.

Hey! Tula it is much easier than you think, I am down 15 - 20lbs not eating fast food or refined sugar. There is a lot of sweet that can be found in a baked sweet potato. If you can bake it for about an hour 45 and eat some veggies you might have a great filling meal. Hang in there, this too shall become a way or life before you know it.

What the heck was she trying to do by standing on the table; she would have had better luck standing in the chair with wheels; at least she would have the table to to eat on. Now she has no table and a sore tush.

This should be a very interesting Inauguration Ceremony; he may have as many viewers as American Idol. I am sure CNN will carry it in it's entirety. If CNN or any news camera can get on the train that Biden and Obama take to get into the city I am sure they will. You will be inaguarationed, if that is a word, out by noon Tuesday.

I know that you are so excited. Congratulations; there is nothing like having a little money while you are getting an education, especially in these economic times. Have a Great Holiday Season

I am not sure what this guy was thinking. They have reports that he was wanting to run for President here in the near future. This will be one Political book, that I can't wait to read.

A caller on the TJMS said that Govenor Blagojevich looked like "Tattoo" from Fantacy Island with that big swoop as a hair style

Spears will never get her kids back because she didn't want them. I have a saying "everyone wants a baby but no one wants a child" Now that her babys require attention she has no problem going to see them every now and then. Brittney could be of the mindset, if I am paying to keep a roof over their head, food on the table and clothes on their back, that should be good enough. Kevin is happy getting the $$$ that he gets each month. Those two boys may turn out to be the next "Menedez Boys" who knows.

This was the most crazy thing I have ever read about in modern time. How did he think he was going to get away with that. Did he not know that O.J. was on trial for "trying to get back what was his", and getting caught on tape. I am like Judge Glass, of Las Vegas; he is both arrogant and stupid. I am sure they are going to throw the book at him, and I am sure when Obama's term is up; that he will not be pardoned.

I goofed, it was Sanaa Lathem that was in Nip Tuck and not Gabrielle Union. Ooops.

I also remember Gabrielle Union, and not for her role in "Bring it On", but as her innocent role of Keesha Hamilton in 7th Heavan. Gabrielle also had a great role in Nip Tuck. I don't watch a lot of television series; so I am not sure what types of shows are out there, and where our beautiful black women would best fit in with what is on television now. I am more sure than ever, that America will be much more at ease watching "us" on television; because one way or another we are going to be there, now more often than not, with this new Administration.

WOW! They are all so beautiful. The one thing that I do not really want to see are the girls in long dresses. The girls are young, and they I am sure, are going to want to look back on this time and like what they look like; and a long dress on a girl between the ages of 7 - 14 never looks good 20 - 30 years later. So anything Michelle wears will look great on her because I am one of those people who thinks she is so beautiful; made up or just kicking it hoola hooping with her girls in the park.

He may have been younger than you think. The only line that young guys have these days is "how old are you". He may have looked much older than you thought. He himself could have been just 20. As a 20 year old he thinks he can get with an 18 or he could have thought that you were a "cougar" and would be willing to get with him. Marya Cary did

Jazzy I am still perplezed why people have to carry a consealed weapon. If you have to carry a weapon and you are not wearing camaflague, you might want to stay at home.

I am sure if you heard but Lisa Raye is no longer with the Prime Minister; if I am correct, the Prime Minister was caught with some chick who used to be on 106 and Park. The media has reported that the break up with the Prime Minister has gotten as ugly and ghetto as Kiesha and Tyrone at the corner
