Sorry to bring race into the picture, but fact is, i've been raised around caucasion males and females all my life. I've learned the subtle ins and outs of that culture. And I say "that culture" because, as i've found out the hard way, young women of color respond quite differently to me than the youing caucasion women. Now I do know there's deep complex psychological and sexual-tension theories out there about black man/white female relationships and I accept that.

But what I refuse to accept/believe is that all (or at least most) black females desire black men embodying the qualities celebrated in the modern hip-hop cuture. (i.e. thug, ganster, hustler, etc)

Is it so bad to wear clothes w/o the logos?
Is it so bad to be able to make my subjects and verbs agree?
Is it so bad to not drive an expensive whip w/ crome rims and tvs?

Seriously, I want to know your opinion. And i'm not knocking the culture, i'm just asking if conforming to it is the only way to get a sista now days?

My nephew is 3 months old. All he does is wave his arms and legs around, laughing and sticking his tongue out. Why does he do this. Is he just getting used to his body or something (at least he's not crying!)

We were just hit with another huge LP bill. Has anyone removed their propane and replaced it with electrical. We have oil heat, and LP for the hot water, dryer and cooking. But $150 a month to heat water and dry clothes, we only cook on the weekend, seems outrageous! I was also wondering if oil burning water heaters were available. If so, we may just go with electric appliances and change the water heater to oil.

Thanks.

Simply that. How do you do it? What spacing is needed? How should it be formatted?

My book is in first person and throughout the whole book she (the main character) will be emailing her best friend that she moved away from telling her best friend about all of her adventures.

I propose once CHild molesters are released from prison assuming their not beaten and killed, tattoo or better yet brand Convicted Child molesters on their forehead. It will keep them from reoffending, as everyone will know they are a child molester.

NOw here comes the fun part. IF they attempt to cover that brand or tattoo with makeup this is punishable by up to 100 whips( and not no pussy whip cat o 9 tails) with an experienced dominater or dominatrix, either sex is fine as child molesters are no longer considered human beings.. Then they pour salt on their wounds and let them suffer.

TO prolong their sufferring anyone that kills a child molesters only has to serve 30 days in jail. Enough to deter some people, but keep the child molester in check.

We already have megan's law, lets take it one step further. And mark them at their hnouses, apartment buildings.

Also I think it would be a good idea if all sex offenders would not be able to go out of their house without police escort.

For starters - I'm a 22 yr. old woman, and my soon-to-be fiancè is 27. We recently had an unexpected discussion over having a prenup, which he's all for, and I don't agree with. He says it's the smart thing to do, and it's just a precaution. (He knows people who didn't have one, got divorced, and one person lost everything...) I feel like he's planning a divorce before we've even officially planned the wedding. This is my 1st real relationship & the 2 of us are very much in love. He's told me time and time again that he wants to spend the rest of his life with me, but now I can't help but feel that he must not trust me as much as he says he does, and he already is thinking about us not working out. Should I be taking this so personally, and letting it make me feel as if he, even subconsciously, has some doubts, or is it really just the "smart thing" to do? I love him with all of my heart, but if our feelings on this are so different, should I be reconsidering things?? PLEASE HELP!!

Ok...we started this crate training when he was 10 weeks old...he would whine for 15 min. and then settle down. Now for the past 2 weeks, ONLY when the door is shut on him, he will whine and drool so much that he is 2/3 of his body is soaked and he feels very warm. I tried to ignore him and then he was just so soaked. We both work so crating is almost a must! It appears that when we are in the room with him and he is in the crate it is worse no matter how we ignore him. He pants like he's dying. But, if I just keep the door open and put him in there he will chew his toys, etc.
Any suggestions or alternatives? We thought about blocking off a room instead.
Thanks!
