He Kept Having To Use The Broom

I went on a walk through the park with a nice guy. I like walks in the park. It provides a chance to chitty chat, enjoy nature and get some exercise.

The guy was handsome. After talking with him awhile I learned that he was extremely family-oriented. I loved it! He also didn't have any children and I loved that too. It's not that common that you find a nice looking guy, who is family oriented and doesn't have about three or four children....soooooo I was excited.

And the topper...I was attracted to him.

Butttt errrrrr uhhhhh, he kept having to use the bathroom.

The first time, he told me that he had a bunch of water that day so I was like OK. Heck, I need to drink more water myself, I thought.

Then he had to use it again, and again and again and again.

We went on a 45 minute walk and I think this joker had to use the bathroom 4, yes, 4 times.

At first, I would lag behind, waiting on him to take care of his business. Heck after the second time, I kept it movin'. I actually was getting a bit irritated and thinking WTFudge.

By the end of the walk, I was disgusted, disgusted, deeeeeeegusted!!!

And I even told him at a subsequent meeting that maybe he needed to get his prostate checked cause he was using the brooom tooo dayuuuuum much.

Was I wrong? LOLOLOLOL

What Is Unforgiveable In A Relationship?

At a recent book club meeting while discussing a book on relationships, it was asked by one of the members -- What is unforgiveable?

The book dealt with the ups and downs of relationships and sisterhood. It was kinda along the lines of what I want to do with my book but not quite.

Any who.

There was one character who was dealing with an A-Hole of a man. Yea, he was a supa dupa assola --- period. Mean, nasty and a cheater.

Then there was another character who was dealing with a guy who didn't even seem to be real. He was always very nice and sexed her to def LOLOLOL Is that real? Well, maybe that's a topic for another day.

Then there was a character who didn't have a fella she liked. She liked evbody LOLOLOL

And then the last chickypoo was married to a man and they didn't really have a lot of sex. They were each other's firsts, but he was having an affair 3 of the 8 years of their marriage and actually had gotten his lover pregnant. And she was carrying twins. Wild stuff!

So the question was asked. What is unforgiveable? Is is abuse -- verbal, emotional, mental? Is it cheating and he gets the other woman pregnant? What is unforgiveable?

I sat back in a very comfy brown leather chair and pondered the question. I took a sip of my chardy chard and blurted out my answer.

There is nothing that a person can say is truly unforgiveable because marriage is about continually forgiving, having a forgiving heart. And then as a Christian, there's no way that you can walk through life saying this is unforgiveable or that is unforgiveable if you want to get into heaven. And then on top of that, if you don't forgive you will be stuck in a bad place, not living, not open to what the future holds in the next relationship.

The ladies in the room, all of whom are my friends, agreed for the most part but took the conversation in all different directions.

Soooooo is there anything that is unforgiveable in a relationship?

She Stole His TV After An Arugment

I love, love, love to hear people talk about relationships.

Sooooo when I was recently involved in a conversation about relationships, one of my family members interjected something that caught me completely offguard.

We were jibba jabbin about whether women should wear lingerie or not; whether women should wear house dresses that are not that attractive in the house; some of the very nice things we had done for men in our lives and then wham! The conversation took a curve and someone in the room said, "I stole his TV after an argument."

Well, it wasn't really that abrupt. We were talking about how sometimes men do not show that they appreciate the things that women do for them.

But errrr uh, when this comment was made, I was like woooooo ummmm wow! Why did you take his TV?

She never said that she purchased it. She just kept saying because we got into a really bad argument so I took it.

The thought of it seemed to bring the fury back to her eyes. Her lip was a bit twisted and poked out with soooooo much attitude, I didn't push her for a reason.

She thought she was in the right then and still soooooooo who am I to judge. LOLOLOL

But I really was thinking, this girl is off her rockers. She stole a TV...Who does that? A danggone TV!!!!!

Any who.

What is the craziest thing that you have heard someone do after an argument in a relationship? And if you want to be bold, what is the craziest thing that you have ever done?

I swung a golf club.

I Regret I Slept With Him

I am not into living life with regrets. To me, it's a way to beat up on yourself unnecessarily, and I don't beat up on myself.

I also think that all of life experiences -- good and bad -- made me the smart, strong, intelligent, beautiful, foxxaaaay woman I am today LOLOLOL (Yea, I do not have a problem with self-esteem!)

Any who.

I was thinking the other day about the little boys, young men and grown men who have come in and out of my life over my years. I'm approaching a birthday so I've been reflecting on this thing called life.

I thought back to the first boy I ever kissed. I was standing near a tree on MLK Boulevard and he was walking me home and we kissed. Until that moment, I had kissed a mirror and a pillow. I used to kiss my hand LOLOLOL Criiiiizaaaay, right? But that was what people my age were doing -- practicing.

Then I thought about my very first, ya know, sexual encounter. I was scared to death OOOOOOOK.

I was a late bloomer and other girls had talked about it around me. They made it seem like fun, but I never gave in to the temptation until I thought I was ready. I didn't cave to peer pressure at all. :)

And then I started thinking about the guys who I have given an opportunity to take one of my precious jewels out of my jewelry box. LOLOLOL

And I'm not going to lie. I was thinking...nah, I should not have. LOLOLOL

Yea, I said I don't live with regrets, but errrr uhhhh. LOLOLOL

Do you have any regrets when it comes to your selection of diggity mates?

I May Be A Lil Shallow.....

One of my friends pointed out an article about Lisa Raye that discussed how she is not interested in dating men without money.

Interestingly, she dated and married a man who was a prince or whatever he was who appeared to have plenty of cash. Problem was that he didn't have any money. In fact, he was broke.

Now, she is crystal clear in her desires ummmm a man with money. :)

And what girl wouldn't want that. Is there anyone who would say sure give me a broke a$$ man...I don't think soooooo.

Any who.

After I thought about her position, I was like who am I to judge her. If she doesn't want to date a man who doesn't make a certain amount of money, good for her.

Plus, if she dates someone with less AGAIN she could be setting herself up for a huge loss...as in getting involved with someone who wants to take what she has. And boi oh boi oh boi, there are a lot of men who are sooooo looooserish (yea, I made that up) that it is not funny. Girls who want to take a guy to the cleaners are gold diggers. Guys who want to use up a woman for everything she has are looooserish. Get it. Got it! Good! :)

My friend, however, called her shallow.

Hmmmmmm Really? Is that shallow?

Then I sorta turned inward as I tend to do when relationship shiggidy comes up. I'm an ever-evolving being in this area. I don't really want to date anybody beneath me. Yep, I said it...BEEEENEEEEEAAAATH me! As for income, it would be nice to have it comparable. The reality is money causes aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa lot of problems in relationships so if salaries were comparable --- this to me would be the beginning of a recipe for success.

But forget the finances for just a second. I thought about how I have tried to date a few shorter fellas and fatter fellas and -- ooooooh myyyyyyy -- close but no cigar. Nah, let me stop lying before my pants catch fire. It's not even close to an attraction with a shorter man and definitely not a fatter man.

Soooooooo am I shallow because I have decided that I am not going to date any Fatsooooooos and Shorty Macks!!!!???

One guy told me he used to play football so that was why he was on the overweight lover side ... ummmmmmm nooo, you are fat! lololololol

But seriously, am I shallow? Tell me and don't forget to be honest :)

When Your Fam, Friends Call Him Ugly

The relationship is over, history, done dadda, good riddance, vamuse, ghost and people are coming out of the woodwork with commentary.

Well, a few like my bff, cousin and nephew didn't reserve their feelings, but others weren't sooooooo blunt.

I remember my dad saying, "There's nothing wrong with that young man as long as he is good to you."

Heck, he was tall, he prayed, brownskinned. And at the time the jury was out on Tina Turner's tune -- "You Bettah Be Good To Me." LOLOLOL

But seriously, he was nice. And he was ahright looking to me too, but people who love me and have found out that we are no longer together feel very comfortable calling him anything but attractive.

What the heckypoo?

This was not a new occurrence to me surprisingly. After I got my divorce, I had many people make comments and heck I couldn't argue with them for the most part.

But my ex-husband was not ugly LOLOLOLOL

Any who.

Someone jumped out the bag on me this weekend and said, "Yea, I was trying to figure out what you saw in him?"

I was like wowsa. He wasn't that danggone ugly!!

Sooooo, does it matter if your family members and friends think the person you are dating is unattractive? And would you be offended if they told you that thought your new boo was UNsexy? LOLOLOLOL

Arguing Is For The Birds

One day, I was standing in the yard and I heard -- well I was ear hustling -- a man tell a woman in the house across the street that she was far from a woman.

Yea, they were arguing and it was getting really nasty. He called her some very uncool, un-nice things. And she was no lightweight in the war of words. She was hitting below the belt, nah, she was cutting dude off at the ankles.

They were tossing low blows so much that it saddened me. People get into arguments all the time, but I just couldn't for the life of me understand why they goin at each other's throat the way they were. Well, I do understand. Hurt people, hurt people.

This wasn't the first time I heard them arguing either. In fact, he was hauled off by the police a time or two last year.

At that time, she hurled profanity and don't you come back and this and that. Whew!

But he was back and I knew he was back because of the argument and also he drives a white van. So whenever I see the white van, I know there's gonna be trouble. They are going to argue.

I've argued like a nut before, but I'm sooooo thankful that I do not care to argue with anyone like that again --- man, woman, dog, cat or rat, nobody!!!

I hate to hear couples arguing, but as I hear them argue I grow curious. I wonder why do they keep coming back to each other? How many nasty, profanity-laced arguments does it take to realize that two people are just not a good match?

Do You Perform Background Checks On Mates?

You never know what you are getting into when you meet someone new.

Sometimes, people tell you they are single when in fact they are married 10-plus years.

Sometimes, people say that they do one thing for a living when in fact they do something else.

Sometimes, people may say that they own their home when in fact they rent.

Sometimes, people may say that they have one child when they have several.

All of the aforementioned scenarios are real. The names have been changed to people to protect the identities of supa liars...LOLOLOLOL

But seriously, people do tell big, bodacious lies as they enter into new relationships.

Who knows why people do it.

Once a guy asked me if I had done a background check on him. Heck, it hadn't entered my mind to plug his name into the county Web site to find out if he had a record or had been married or had property or any of that shiggidy. But I think it's more common than people will admit.

According to the Diggity Institute, 3 out of 5 women do background checks on men when they first meet. LOLOLOLOL

I have gotten a little curious about a couple guys I have dated, but I haven't done background checks. Usually when I think something is up, I usually check on out as in vanish, leave the scene, get gone, bye bye :)

But would you conduct a background check if you were suspicious of a prospective mate? What would you be looking for?

Is Sexting Cheating On Your Mate?

There's nothing wrong with getting a hot, steamy, sexy text message, right?

I heard a story about two gfs who were having drinks together. One girl asks to use the other girl's phone and she steps outside the bar because of the music and noise.

When she steps back in with the phone, she confronts the other chickypoo about sleeping with her boyfriend.

Turns out, she saw her boyfriend's number and a few steamy text messages.

They got into a bad fight that involved drunken jibberish, a lot of tears and pulling hair. Hilllllllarious! OOOOOOOK!

Any who.

In this scenario as my bionic ears got more bionic, LOLOLOL, I think the chickypoo was sleeping with the other chickypoos fella.

But is a sexy text message enough proof that your girl or guy is tip toeing around on you?

Is sexting cheating?
