By "wanna be" I mean that someone has accused you of wanting/trying to be white, black, Asian, etc...

And yes, I know we cannot "act a race". And no, I'm not trying to stir anything up. I'm just curious to know if you've experienced this and how you reacted.

I do apologize if I've worded this in a manner that anyone finds offensive. That was certainly not my intention.

I'm a teacher and I've noticed that it's pretty common for parents to make-up names. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
I have two baby grand daughters with beautiful, old-fashioned names. Just found out yesterday that I'm going to have a grandson in February. When my son told me what they're going to name the child, all I could think of was, this poor kid is going to spend a good part of his life explaining how to say his name and how his parents came up with it. I know, it's none of my business and I would NEVER dream of saying anything to them. But I'm a teacher and I always feel bad when I have to ask a new student how to "pronounce" his/her name. It's not a name that rolls off the tongue easily. I know I'll get used to it and this isn't really a big deal but I'm curious, how many of you who are grandparents have thought the same thing?

Judy B. made me think up this one. Like my mom would scare the he** out of us when we were young. We stayed with friends in the city once and tried some vodka (or was it tequila? Not sure what it was but it tasted terrible) anyway we went back home and my mom said, "Last night I had a dream an old man was trying to force blue liquid down my throat. Which one of you drank?" We all gave one another that guilty look, I took the fall for my brothers.

I used to look around before doing something *cough* not so good, because I wondered if my mom was following us to know the things she did.

Mothers and Fathers, do you have anything like this with your own?

I just tried to post a question and it got
stuck on the "preview" section so I will
try again.
Did my cousin Rowena keep you entertained while I was away?
She is gone to visit relatives here in the states, then its back to her little island
home. She had a great time here and
on Seniors.
She was house-sitting for me and I will
miss her. She's one of my favorite
people. Here we go again folks.
What's new since I've been gone?

My girlfriend and I have been together for three years. She has three kids from another relationship (two live with us). I am interested in having a child of my own. She believes in natural conception and not AI or Invitro. Should I break up with her just to have a child of my own? Or I bring up the subject again with her? It is all that I have been able to think about for the last year!

How come if I'm in a car, I have to listen to new music with in the past two years. And If I bump a good song like Gangsta's Paradise, or Baller, or some stuff like that people will look at me crazy? Well at least outside the sub-urbs. Is it like an unwritten law, like it's not cheating if it's in a different area code?

Tommorow is the aniversary of the opening of the Berlin Wall. Can we please remember Peter Fechter aged 18 who bled to death in front of the TV cameras calling for help and his Mother after being shot and left to die on August 17th 1962, by the border guards? I will never forget him. I know he wasn't the only one, but he broke my heart.

I have a fireplace but have not used it in years. I plan to buy the rod-iron tea candle holder and put in my fire place this Christmas. Our fireplace was built with a defect by the previous owner, and if you use it, it will work for a while but then the smoke drifts into the house instead of up the chimney.

He's due to be on the Ellen show on Friday!

The concept was so simple [like trash cans] one has to wonder why it has not been done in the past!

Why are people getting sex changes, saying they're the opposite sex in the wrong body? God knew exactly what He was doing when he made us, so why call Him a liar? To make it worse, why are they giving children these operations, especially since they don't really know too much about their own sex? The ones I've seen so far don't fool anybody, but now I don't know what to look at anymore. Damn, what is this creepy **** all about?

Excuse me? Do people honestly believe the majority deserve such a thing? As a majority, what would you need it for? W/E you can't accomplish in a 45 minute Social Studies classroom from elementary to HS, you probably won't accomplish in a month. From reading that, you've probably inferred I'm some uneducated black person who hates the world, feels unprivileged & emotionally abused by the US social system. You're wrong. I've been exposed to all cultures & I accept each one. I was raised with & by the majority, & my best friends are of the majority, even though I am a 16 year old "black" female. I think a White History month would be the most ignorant addition to the US holiday chart.. & would do nothing but increase the racial tension between minorities and the majority. My ? is, why do white people feel the need to have their own "month" & "clubs" in school? Is it possible to be SO ungrateful? I'm could be just as lost as some of you right now..so enlighten me.
