It was a definite surprise because I have never seen a First Lady rock an outfit like that, but she looked hawt. She made me go do some crunches.
HotNESS or HotMESS? (SM) - Madame Obama's Fit
Some folks think it's inappropriate for our First Lady to wear skinny jeans. What say you?
I think you already know that it's a red flag. Segzy time aside, anyone that's damn near forcing you to do ANYTHING that you're not comfortable with is someone that you don't need to allow into your life on any level.

I have a question for the Tribe. It's sort of a topic you're not comfortable with discussing on your blog so I'll keep it G rated. Here goes: If someone is dating a guy who has been locked up for 10+ yrs...and the guy now INSISTS on doing certain things..that errra...are nonconventional betw...
I'm good.
Scenario...
You and your S/O are visiting friends. The husband of your friend gets home and barely says two words to you. The next morning, the wife tells you they've booked a hotel for you to stay in for the duration of your visit and they are paying for it. She apologizes and simply says it's not a good t...
If I were in middle school...maybe. Seriously? Are we talking about adults? Wondering why someone they didn't know was quiet the first time they met and they're still concerned months later? O_o
Scenario...
Your friend has a new S/O. You only know this because of something they accidentally said. You're scheduled to go on a trip together with other friends. Your friend brings their S/O. The S/O seems nice enough but they kinda hang back and don't say much. The friend and their S/O do their own thin...

This. I rarely look at people's pages nowadays and unless something pops up in my newsfeed while I'm viewing I don't see it. But whenever I see someone on my feed that has the potential to irk me (FB prophets, people who type in all caps, Steve Harvey wannabes and dem damn high heeled sneaker models), I hide their profiles and keep it moving.
Scenario from real life...
You receive a friend request from someone you went to high school with. You accept it because yup...you do know them. You're looking around through their pictures and whatnot and see a picture of their house proudly flying a confederate flag. Not your cup of tea so you make the decision to un-fr...
I wouldn't respond. I don't feel as though I owe anyone an explanation for how I choose to manage my free time online.

Whoa! When did this happen? Dude doesn't look geeky here.
This is why people need to be psychologically evaluated before being allowed access to the internet. Whether or not its rape depends on the understanding between the couple. Some women may not mind and may actually enjoy being awakened in that manner. Some women would feel violated and taken advantage of. But having a page like that opens up the floodgates to a lot of sick individuals and impressionable minds.
I would be sickened and embarrassed if I found out that my 19 yr old son made that page, but he's an adult. If he's living independently, I'm not sure what I could do.
What say you?
About this being on Facebook? Riding your Girlfriend softly, Cause you dont want to wake her up Do you consider that act rape? What would you do if you found out your 19 year old son was the owner of this page?
I honestly can't think of a time that I've done that. I'm sure that if I have, I've blacked out that experience due to severe emotional and physical trauma. I still spell curse words if I'm repeating a story to her.
"Oh...they cussing their mamas in Spain now?
If you look real, real close at my face you will note that it is slightly crooked from the time I cussed in front my mama. What happened the first time you cussed in front of yourN? Connected by DROID on Verizon Wireless
I would have a problem with it - not particularly because of the sexual component but because of the chemicals and side-effects. But ultimately, if it was the best choice I'd find a way to be OK with it.
Tell the truth and shame the devil!
Would YOUR 15 year old daughter's father have a problem with putting her on birth control pills? Would you? Connected by DROID on Verizon Wireless
Yep. She would be presented w/ every option available to her. The final choice (just like the sex) would be her decision to make.
Options...
Would you give your pregnant 15 year old daughter "the option?" SIP: And don't act dumb either. Y'all know what "the option" is. Connected by DROID on Verizon Wireless
No, but my guy's truck seats used to. LOVED THEM although it's a little startling when you're caught unaware and your azz starts tingling. O_o Really wish he wouldn't have traded it, tho. :(
Question...

I had my first "boyfriend" in nursery school. He gave me his juice every day at snack time and taught me to tie my shoes.
Boy Crazy
How old was your daughter when she started noticing and liking boys? How old were you? Connected by DROID on Verizon Wireless
As soon as his 'lil azz can reach the pump and use it w/out spilling on himself. His daddy should be taking him in and out of the car to show him from the time he can walk, similar to the way our mamas made us sit in the kitchen to watch until we were old enough to reach over and help add ingredients to recipes.
Gas Pumping?
At what age should a boy start pumping gas for his mother? Connected by DROID on Verizon Wireless
So y'all oldheads just gon' let Ms. Smart Debo her lurkers and comment like that never happened, huh? Bwahshaaaa!!!!
Guest Blogger Ted Presents: The Key Word
As the title indicates, this is a guest post by Ted Noblog, of the great northeastern Nobloggers. I'll add my bits in in bold italics, m'kay? There are two topics that people who read blogs always lie about when they comment: sex and credit. At first glance, it would seem that this is so bec...
I haven't read the afternoon comments but while I hear Ted's suggestions of essays and interviews - we do have interviews as a part of our membership intake process. I still question how the hell some of these folks got past that part.
I don't know how it is on other HBCU campuses but one thing that happened at my alma mater was that the women do not turn out in droves for the rush anymore the way that they did for us. It's easy to pick 40-50 women out of 600. But out of 200? That's one of every 4 women being selected. Part of me wonders if it is because students don't see the impact of BGLO's on campus anymore and want to be a part of that impact. Or if they don't mix with the personalities of the members. Alumni chapters should also play a role in selection *cringing as I feel YoungSoJo side-eye me*. But since our organizations desire a LIFETIME commitment for members, I think that adults would bring a persepective to the selection process that goes beyond "the yard".
The image thing is partially our fault. We have to become more visible to our youth than the YouTube videos. Even though in HS my only vision of sororities and fraternities was some warped School Daze fantasy, what really sold me was that every Delta I knew growing up was TIGHT.
I used to joke about the new breed's vision of BGLO's was Stomp the Yard. But do they see real life role models that they want to emulate? Sure, we're out in the real world doing our thing but how many young people outside of our family and friends see us on a regular basis to KNOW how extraordinary we are?
Observe, Complain, Discuss, Solve, Rinse & Repeat
KaNisa, Ted NoBlog, SoJo and I were having a discussion on the twitter. It started out innocently enough. Someone made a comment about the Ques being in town next week. The conversation spun off into how the members of our organizations behave in public. Before I go on, I am specifically tal...
Yep, I was turned on to this abt 5 yrs ago and it works well. I only wear it for special occasions. I've had some messy situations happen but they were totally due to me being careless.
Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs: Things I learn from Actresses...
I was watching an actress recently and marveled at how gorgeous her legs were. Even toned, no marks, simply gorgeous. She was holding her hands out weird. Me: What's wrong with your hands? Her: I have leg makeup on my hands. Me: Seriously? Her: Yes. And this is what she was using: Sally H...
"R'pubs stay fabricating facts!"
And they will continue to do so as long as we continue to react the way we do - from an emotional place.

Since we're being real with it today I have a question. (*Note from SIP: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!*) I have great boobs in my great bra but without my great bra my boobs are droopy from the weight of them. I'd like to know how others deal with sessy time with someone new when this is an issue.
Everything everyone else said. Try lemon slices or lemon juice in your shower or bath. That also cuts underarm odor. Try a new ob/gyn too, if you don't feel as though you're getting the answers that you need. Everything with pores has a scent, but your "love below" shouldn't be rancid.

This question is a piggyback off yesterday's question. What if you don't know how to cook but wouldn't mind learning? How do you learn? I am dating someone I would love to cook nice meals for but I don't know how to cook. I watch cooking shows and they go too fast.
