The odd man out.

Remember THIS clip from Sesame Street back in the day?

There are objects placed next to each other and ONE of the items obviously don't belong.

Tell me.....which ONE of these items are out of place?



You can find these videos in my favorite store of all. CVS! Ugh. I had to leave.

What would you do?

What would you do??--This is a serious question--Need Feedback.

You're at the playground and a child (age 2-4) starts screaming and pointing at YOUR child's (age 2-4) hat saying, "I'm scared, I'm scared!!"

The other mom asked the "kid with the scary hat" mom to remove the hat from their child's head.

What would you do? (if you were the mom of the scary hat kid)
What would you do? (if you were the mom of the kid that was afraid of the scary hat?)

Note: It's a cowboy hat.

Everyone can answer the question hypothetically too. I want all feedback. Thanks.

Here's the photo of the 'fixed' uneven hair.

I wanted the stylist to cut my hair to make it even and she said NO! She actually said, No honey, that's not the answer. It's normal for your hair to do this. Don't worry, the other side will catch up.

SCREEEEECH!

What? Yeah, that's when I started text messaging people asking them to please just say a prayer. I'm having a rough time at the hair salon. Nell had the nerve to laugh and say girl, behave, you don't want to end up bald. She was right. Don't talk crap about anyone that's going to do your hair! Thanks :) Good looking out! LOL

The other side will catch up? Like you can lose weight on one part of your body. Yeah, like I wanna lose my pouch but, not my butt or breasts. Umm...they're a package deal woman. Focus!

Ok, back to the hair.

She 'trimmed' the uneven parts just a teeny tiny bit and this is the final result.

My hair is 'tucked' in on the longer side so you can't really tell the uneveness (is that a word) of my hair.

Ugh. I am going to the wig store this week. I'm just really having a hard time dealing with this hair stuff. The husband doesn't want to me chop it all off again.

Yes, I do ask his feedback on my hair issues. I don't want to have unnecessary issues in my home. He agreed to the hair in the box but, I'm not sure how he's going to feel about the wig. I'm off to have a talk with the mister. I'll keep you updated.

I know he'll say....do whatever you feel. Which means, thanks for checking with me even though I know you'll do whatever you want anyway.

He's so sweet. I love that man.

Here's the hair:


The husband and family says it looks nice and to leave it alone. I feel like crying. I'll have to find a middle ground for this hair business.

I tried braids (i'm not sure i can sit through all that again)
I tried a weave for 15 minutes (the first track made me quiver and I asked missy to stop) I couldn't go through it.

Wish we luck!

My day at the hair salon.

I went to get my hair done yesterday. As I mentioned in the earlier post, my hair has decided to grow back UNEVENLY. Again.

Instead of my usual (at the kitchen sink) services. I decided to splurge on myself and go to a hair salon.

My appointment was 2pm. I arrived at 1:50pm. I was greeted and asked to sit down in the front waiting area. No problem. I grabbed a magazine and sat back to relax while I waited for my turn in the salon chair.

I glance over at the hairdresser and she's dressed really nicely and her hair was very stylishly done. She got cool points from me for that. Have you ever gone to a hairdresser where the stylists hair was just RAGGEDY?????

Would that make you feel uneasy about getting your hair done?

Anyway back to the story.

I'm halfway through the magazine when I look up at the clock at it reads 2:30pm. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to say this is my main reason why I really detest going to hair salons. I make eye contact with the hairdresser and she says, "you're next" as soon as I sit her under the dryer.

Umm...yeah, ok. Sure.

It's 2:45 and I'm in the stylist chair. (my appointment was at 2pm)
2:50 the phone rings and she answers it.
3:00 she's still on the phone yapping away about NOTHING.
Since I'm in the chair, I'll tell you what it was about since I wasn't exactly eavesdropping. They're going out tonight, they hope there's some fine ass men in the spot cuz she tired of the same old same old dating scene.

Her: Wha chu wearing?
chick on the other line: blah, blah, blah
Her: I gotta run to the mall real quick to pick me up something, NO I'm not going to be late. Stop tripping.

See?????????? The conversation was about NOTHING.

Ok, this is where I want to know as the customer, how would you feel? It's your FIRST time going to this hair salon, it's the FIRST time you've had your hair done by this person.

How would you feel about the service so far?

Timecheck:

3:15 Perm has been applied and you're asked to sit in the chair by the sink. Let her know if you start burning. She has to style the other ladies hair while you (with the perm on your hair) wait.

3:25 or 3:30 I can't even remember and NO she didn't set a timer or nothing--- She rinses you out and there's some tingling on the nape of your hair. You start to freak out because you get a flashback of the episode of martin when she-nay-nay burns off all Freda's hair. LOL

3:50-Treatment conditioner applied and placed under dryer
4:15-Rinse out and some other steps
4:30-In the stylist chair for Leave in conditioner application then placed back under the dryer. Have I ever mentioned how much I HATE being under the dryer?
4:45-Wrap then styled.
5:15-Finished. I breathe a sigh of relief.
5:30-Pay with credit card gave her tip in cash then RUN out the store to drink and smoke a cigarette. I'm joking about the cigarette part but, I damn sho know how it feels to want to smoke and drink after all that!

Question(s):

If you have a 2:00pm hair appointment, what time would you like to be sitting in the stylist chair? What is the realistic time to sit in the stylist chair?

Do you think it's rude for your stylist to talk on the phone while they're doing your hair?

Have you ever gone to a hairdresser where the stylists hair was just RAGGEDY, would that make you feel uneasy about getting your hair done?

Hair Salon Question

If you have an appointment at 2pm, what time are you supposed to get your hair done?

How reasonable of a wait do you give before you start to just act a complete fool?

Hair Advice Needed.-Uneven hair growth!!!

My hair grows unevenly.
I got it all cut off last summer and now it's growing back.
Unevenly. Again.
Help!
Do you know why this is happening to me?
Has this ever happened to you?
How did you handle this situation?

When keeping it real (goes wrong)

You remember my post about "You go girl?"

Well, she's still at it. I haven't had the guts to cut her at the ankles yet. I was on the verge of telling her to go sit her $5 ass down somewhere before I made change but, then I remember what happened to Dave when keeping it real went terribly wrong.

Click HERE.

I'll keep you posted on the outcome of me and the "You go girl" *sigh*

The Dirty Dozens (gone wrong)

Remember when we were growing up and the dirty dozens were the clean versions like I dare you to knock this rock off my shoulders?

Or when you would battle someone in a group to throw some baby powder on the floor or a cardboard box and have at it on the dance floor?

Well...apparently, times have changed and so have the rules.

Check THIS out. I think it's safe to say, Green Hat dude should have seen that one coming. I know I did. A Mile away that is. LOL

Ouch.

Don't ever touch a black woman's hair unless

Don't ever touch a black woman's hair unless of course, you want to get cut.

I want to know how Brandy and the other lady (her name escapes me) sat there with a straight face when Babs touched and asked very rude questions about their hair.

Take notes people.

Don't you ever touch a black woman's hair. EVER.

You got it?

Good.

Cop a squat.

Have you ever used one of these?

Please tell us about your experience. Thanks.

The drinking is the worst. LOVE IT!

This is my NEW but, old favorite commercial.

The drinking is the worst. LOVE IT!

How is this supposed to be funny?

Ok, I don't work in an office any longer. Not even sure if I miss the hustle and bustle. I can tell you if THIS happened to me at my place of work, oh, I would be HEATED!

It is the year 2008. Why is stuff like THIS still happening?

Here's the story:

Man allegedly showed noose to black co-worker
Frontier Airlines disciplines 2 employees, one of whom was cited by police

DENVER - Denver-based Frontier Airlines has disciplined two employees who allegedly made a noose and showed it to a black co-worker, the company said.

Denver police have cited one of the workers for an alleged “bias-motivated crime.”

A man allegedly showed the noose to the co-worker and asked “are you ready” in a break room at Denver International Airport on April 15, police said.

Frontier spokesman Steve Snyder said the man, who was ticketed by police, and another employee accused of making the noose have both been disciplined. Snyder did not specify what actions were taken.

The airline is stepping up diversity training for workers at the airport, Snyder said.


STEPPING UP DIVERSITY TRAINING????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

How to annoy me.

1. Saying You Go Girl to or around me.

I've been sitting on this for a few weeks. Thinking whether or not if I should blog about it. Maybe I'm just tripping. Yeah, that could be it. I've been known to trip about a few things for no particular reason.

There's this chick that I met recently and I noticed how she always switches her pitch around me. Let me explain.

We're at a women's event and I notice when she speaks to the other (white) chicks in the room, she's all "Harvardish" when it comes to speaking to me she will bust out with something like: You Go Girl OR insert whatever slang-ish ignorant sounding connotations you can come up with. I love Martin like the next cat but, there's a time and a place for the crapola.

I've been pondering whether or not to say something to her. The last straw was when she put her hand up for me to give her a high five about something she said. WHAT THE HELL?????????? I laughed it off and acted like I didn't see her do that dumb isht towards me. Ugh!

She might be 'reaching' for a way to 'relate' to me. Who knows. To be honest, I am so turned off by the way she tries to address me on most times that I AVOID conversations with her. There are so many You Go Girl's I can take in one sitting.

Sort of how Hilary Clinton switches up her pitch according to her surroundings. She's traveling to the South, all of a sudden, she has a southern drawl. Stupid. She travels to Philly, and she's all up in the Water Ice. Stupid times 3.

Oprah does it sometimes on her show as well. She will draw out some of her words or make one of those, You go girl type of references. Please. Stop.

Maybe I need to send them an email to let them know they are NOT cute and should stop it now.

Back to chick. What would you do if you were in my situation? Would you say something to her? What would you say? I need help here. I want to be nice. I don't have many friends as it is and I'm not pressed on making any new friends but, I want to be 'civil' and not come out of a bag on her ya know?

Dear Tanyetta (Advice Needed)-Letter One.

THIS IS A LETTER I RECEIVED FROM SOMEONE LOOKING FOR ADVICE.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO POST YOUR ADVICE IN THE COMMENTS. THANK YOU!

I need your advice.

I have a supposed "friend" that is not
nice at all to me or anyone else for that matter. I have been
very good at avoiding her for the past 2 months.

So, she
texted me, and asked "are you mad at me? BIG MAMMA!" I was
shocked that she called me a name. Umm...are we in JR HIGH?!

Ok, so I called her and said, what is going on? I'm not mad at
her, I just don't want to have anything to do with her. So,
her sister called me and left me a message inviting me to some
BBQ at her house.

I didn't call her back nor do I intend to.
Then she messaged me on the myspace. I feel like I can't get
away from these people, they won't leave me alone. I don't want
to have anything to do with them, I don't want to have a final
goodbye, or an argument, or a blowup.

I feel like deleting my
myspace, getting a new e-mail address, and changing my phone
numbers! Every time I see that either one of those girls have
called me, or messaged me, I get an anxiety attack. (not been
diagnosed, but that's what it feels like)

So, Tanyetta, my
brave friend, what should I do girl? If you don't have answers,
it's ok, I just needed to get this off of my chest. I'm sorry
that this is the first time that I've messaged you and I'm
complaining. Ok, thank you for everything! God bless.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR THIS READER? IF SO, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT. YOU CAN POST ANONYMOUSLY TOO IF YOU WISH. THANK YOU.

How to become an Ass. (Take notes)

There's a NEW book out. Have you heard of it?

It has the best title I've seen in a long time.

How to become an Ass.
by: Author Martin Kihn

I like the ring of this book too. I just might stroll to Barnes and flip through the pages.

Oh and the best part, he has a BLOG too.  I'm hooked!

A few days ago my feathers were attempted to be ruffled and I was so proud of myself for not going the hell off on certain people. I mean really, you take me as the nice, sweet girl who stays home to take care of her son and goes to play dates and such. Yes, this is a big part of what my life is but, please don't get it twisted, this is NOT all of what I'm made up to be.

The person tried so hard to get me to 'go there' with them and I have to admit, I 'almost' went there with them for a minute. For the most part, I have to admit, I chose to just fall back. I don't crave the spotlight, I'm not trying to prove anything to anyone. I don't have an agenda, a pre-conceived notion that I walk on water.

I have to admit, it was a big FEAT for me to conquer since those of you who know me, know me, like (1985-1991) know me. I was quite the character during those times. Ah yes but, I fall back. I smile and smirk and just imagine shredding people apart in my minds most times.

I take pride in the person that I've grown to become and the person that I'm growing to become each and everyday.

Take for instance, the things that annoy the itsh out of me on a whole, I just let roll off my back now. It's not worth the frown lines or stomach ulcers.  OH the fun days of just calling a person out on the carpet to rap a taste with.  Nope.  No more.  I don't have time for it.  I take that back, we have time for anything we want to do in life.  I'll just say, I won't make time for it.

For the record, my family is OFF limits.  You can talk itsh about me all day long. Bring my family or any reference to them and the 'play nice' gloves comes out.  Cool?  Cool.

You were warned. That's all I can say from this point on. Toodles.

I need a lawyer to break this down for me

If you are a lawyer and you're defending someone and they confide in you that they did in fact commit the crime but, on record, they have maintained their innocence.  It's your job to represent them and prove their innocence regardless right?

Right?

Really?

I guess this is where my job would be in jeopardy.  You're guilty and you confide in me that you did in fact commit this crime and another man is in prison for the past 26 years for something you did. I'm supposed to just sit on this information?  Instead of ratting you out, I with another lawyer decide to write up the confession and seal it in a box.  The contents of the box has been revealed.  Now what?

WOW!

This is an excerpt from the following article.  It pretty much sums up the question I would like an answer to: 

"What I can't understand is you know the truth, you held the truth and you know the consequences of that not coming forward?" he says of the lawyers. "Is (a) job more important than an individual's life?"

Up the chute with a mop pole!
