Lesson Of The Day: Employers, Jobs & Facebook/Social Network Sites

Keeping It Real: Want the job?, hand over over your Facebook info! Employers are asking applicants who come in for interview for password to their Facebook, Myspace or any network site prior to giving them a job! Ummmm, have they lost their damn minds? What a person says and do on their OWN time, has absolutely nothing to do with my performance on the job! I would say HELL NO and leave interview! I don't have anything to hide BUT that is like asking me to give you the keys to my house to look around! UH-NO!!! Ya Dig?...

Lesson Of The Day: Uncle Before Tom

Keeping It Real: This man took Uncle Tom to a whole nother level!!!!!

In a week of circus like activity for the GOP, Republican Congressman Allen West may have taken the award for the most over the top statement ever given. In a recent sit down with the Florida Representative, CNN anchor John King asked Mr. West how he felt about being a black Congressman during Black History Month.

In light of this month being Black History Month, I feel no way involved with this negro celebration of half accomplishments and borderline Communist agendas. View the list of these “fearless” leaders of black America. Black inhabitants of America knew their place at the table, and knew they could not eat off the same plate of the more than welcoming white men and women of the time. These men, I use that term lightly, like Malcolm X pushed themselves into the homes of innocent white Americans. This action riled up the negro, and scared the living hell out of people. I am no way apart of this community of transported Africans, I myself am an American. I’m a good ol’ boy from the great state of Florida, and a citizen of this great nation. I know God recognizes me as my true self, a proud, strong white man given dark pigmentation. God had to give the blacks at least one intelligent person, so he chose to give me dark skin. I curse my birth as a black man every day. I’m black by birth, not by choice. It will all be sorted out when my name is called, and I step in front of the great white Jesus himself.

 

In outrage, many black organizations and churches took to the internet. The NAACP posted a Tweet saying “Mr. West is entitled to his own opinion, no matter how outrageous it is.” Many black Americans feel that Mr. West should be removed from his position. Can we say, IMMEDIATELY!! Ya Dig?

Lesson Of The Day: To Die Or Not To Die...

Keeping It Real: You work for an establishment that handles money, so there is always a strong chance, you may be robbed! If you have a robber with a gun or any weapon but mainly a gun, do you say no to his demands or give up the money? What about a carjacking, do you give up car, or say no? What about on person robbery, you are accosted on the streets, do you give up wallet, purse? 

I know, sometimes, the assholes, may shoot and or kill the person, but do you stand your ground or give in to their demands? 

My momma didn't raise no fools or dummies, they can have whatever they want!! Ya Dig?... 

Lesson Of The Day: Love Me Or Hate Me...

Keeping It Real: If you're gay, it's a sin. If you're bisexual, you're confused. If you're skinny, you're on drugs. If you're fat, you look nasty & need to stop eating. If you're dressed up, you're conceited. If you speak you're mind, you're rude. If you don't say anything, you're a punk. If you cry, you're a drama queen. If you have male friends, you're a hoe. If you have female friends, you're a player. YOU can't do anything without being criticized . We live in a society where people can't survive if they're not judging the next person... Love me or hate me, but you will never change me! Ya Dig?..

Lesson Of The Day: CLOROX VERSUS PEROXIDE

 Keeping It Real: I would like to tell you of the benefits of that plain little ole bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store. What does "good" bleach cost?  

Most doctors don't tell you about peroxide. Have you ever smelled bleach in a doctor's office?  NO!!! 

Why?  because it smells, and it is not healthy!  Ask the nurses who work in the doctor's offices, and ask them if they use bleach at home. They are wiser and know better! 

Did you also know bleach was invented in the late 40's?  It's chlorine, folks!  And it was used to kill our troops. Peroxide was invented during WWI in the 20's. It was used to save and help cleanse the needs of our troops and hospitals.                

1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 5 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it when I bathe.) No more canker sores, and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash.

2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of peroxide to keep them free of germs.

3. Clean your counters and table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray it on the counters.

4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria.

5. It's good for fungus on the feet, mix a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water and use on them (especially the toes) every night and let dry.

6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to ten minutes several times a day.

7. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water and keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without harming your septic system like bleach or most other disinfectants will.

8. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold, plugged sinus. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes, and then blow your nose into a tissue.

 

 9. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for 5-10 minutes several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.

10. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the 50/50 solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You will not have the peroxide-burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages but more natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, reddish, or dirty blonde. It also lightens gradually, so it's not a drastic change.

11. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help get rid of boils, fungus, or other skin infections.

 12. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing, pour it directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary.

13. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors. There is no smearing, which is why I love it so much for this.

14. Another place it's great is in the bathroom, if someone has been careless & has peed on the floor around the toilet & it's begun to smell of urine. Just put some peroxide in a spray bottle & spray. In the blink of any eye all the smell will be gone & the bacteria eliminated!

 I could go on and on. It is a little brown bottle no home should be without!  With prices of most necessities rising, I'm glad there's a way to save tons of money in such a simple, healthy manner! ' This information really woke me up. I hope you gain something from it, too.

Pass it on! Clorox vs Peroxide:  VERY interesting and inexpensive. Ya Dig?...

Lesson Of The Day: Real Housewives Of Atl

Keeping It Real: This season hasn't been all that great, it has been good but not like the other seasons! 

What is up with Mallory? Why hasn't her husband been around to keep her out of Cynthia's business? He hasn't been in one episode and why does she think she can talk about Peter but Cynthia can't talk about Chris? I'on know about you all but I'm thinking maybe, just maybe Peter & Mallory has done the wild thang!!! She has so much animosity toward this man WHENEVER he is in her presence, she just GETS PISSED OFF!! WHY?? OK, he asked his woman for MONEY!! ANNNNNNNNNNNNNND!!!! How many women can say, their man/boyfriend/husband HAS NEVER ASKED THEM FOR SOME LOOT??? I'll WAIT!!!! Something is wrong with this picture and if they haven't done the wild thang, Mallory truly, I mean truly, NEED TO GETS SOME BUSINESS!!!! Immediately!!!

She admitted to Lawrence, that she indeed did use the word faggot and she just keeps it real!

Lesson Of The Day: Family Matters....

Keeping It Real: You are leaving a store across the street from a motel and you see your sister's husband coming out of the motel WITH one of your other sisters, what do you do?  Do you make them aware you see them?, do you tell your sister?, do you confront them?

Lesson Of The Day: Misunderstood....

Keeping It Real: From the day, my children were born until presently, I always, always say I love them and if I am around them or speaking with them on the phone, I always tell them to have a good day before I hang up or they leave!


When my son was a sophomore in high school, I was in the shower, when he left the house, going to school and I didn't get to tell him, I love him & have a good day! When I got out of the shower & realized he was gone, I called the school and spoke with the secretary and told her my son's name and said, please tell Donte', I love him and have a good day! I even told the scenario and how I always say it, but he had left early, so I didn't get to!

Long story short, they pulled my son out of class, took him to the school's psychologist and sent the damn police to my house! Because I called and told the person whom answered the phone to relay the message, they thought I was getting ready to commit suicide! HUH? How did they ever equate me saying, I love my son & have a good day to being suicidal? They said, they have never had a parent call and say that and they thought I was going to hurt myself! The principal and assistant principal knew me and I asked, based on my character & you all knowing me, why wouldn't you call instead of sending police to my home and embarrassing my son?


Anyways, he is a grown man now with his own family and doing EXTREMELY well! He has a beautiful wife & absolutely gorgeous daughter whom I love both so very much! Ya Dig?...

When is it time to draw the line? Ya Dig?....

Lesson Of The Day: Payless Shoe Stores

Keeping It Real: Ummmmmm & what the hell???? They should change their name to PayLess No MORE!!! I haven't been in the store for a few years and I remember how reasonable they used to be with their prices!

Why would you shop at Payless, when you can go into a department store and get better shoes without being BRANDED as buying from Payless??? Unreal Ya Dig?...

Lesson Of The Day: Phenomenal 2 Letter Word

Keeping It Real: I never knew one word in the English language that could be a noun, verb, adj, adv, prep. Read until the end. This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is'UP.' It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].

It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for election (if there is a tie, it is a toss UP) and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends, brighten UP a room, polishUP the silver, warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and fix UP the old car.  At other times, this little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.  And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is blocked UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takesUP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.  If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with (UP to) a hundred or more.  When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out, we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it soaksUP the earth. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP.One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now . . . my time is UP! Oh . . . one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night? U P! Did that one crack you UP? Don't screw UP.. Send this on to everyone you look UP in your address book . . . or not . . . it's UP to you.  Now I'll shut UP  Ya Dig?...

Lesson Of The Day: Why Go To Church?...

Keeping It Real: If you're*spiritually alive*, you're going to love this!   If you're*spiritually dead*, you won't want to read it.   If you're*spiritually curious*, there is still hope!
    

A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. "I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all."

This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher: "I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of  me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this. They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be   physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!" 

When you are DOWN to nothing...... God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment! 

All right, now that you're done reading, send it on! I think everyone should read this! *"When Satan is knocking at your door*,*simply say,**"Jesus, could you get that for me?"* Ya Dig?..

Lesson Of The Day: Drexting.....

Keeping It Real: Who do I write and or start a petition to have our government attack the cell phone companies and have them TAKE AWAY texting? 

This feature on the cell phones is killing folks quicker than drunk drivers, drugs & drivebys! 

I know it is hazardous because my daughter constantly texts while she is driving and on a few occasions she has almost had accidents! WE almost went into a ditch other day, because I was rummaging thru my purse and she was texting & I just happened to look up IN TIME, THANK YOU FATHER, or we would have probably been a statistic! 

I am on her constantly about drexting=drive & texting and I feel this is a serious matter! I want to start a petition to get texting off of cell phones! 

They can ban cigarette smoking in public places because it is harmful to other people but texting is just as harmful! Ya Dig?..

Lesson Of The Day: The Other Woman

Keeping It Real:  I am the one who consoles your man

I listen when you don't have time

I am his friend first and

His lover second

A lover who loves him unconditionally

I don't make him feel like he's less of a man

I know this good black man is doing

The best he can

In an unforgiving world

He laughs with me

Smiles with me

Shares with me

He runs my bath water

And licks the bubbles off my toes

He washes my body with gentle hands

Gentle hands from a gentleman

I make him feel wanted, needed and appreciated

He shows me a side of him

You never knew existed

Did you know he wanted to go to cooking school?

Who am I?

I AM THE OTHER WOMAN

You were always too busy for him

With your career

Too busy to get the brother a beer

Too busy for love

He was never next

Too busy for anal or kinky sex

Don't get it twisted

This isn't something that will pass

It's a lot deeper

We read books together

Cry together

Love forever

Who am I

I AM THE OTHER WOMAN

When his pager goes off

And he has to leave unexpectedly

Well, that's me

When he comes home late and happy

From an all nighter at the office

It's me that put that smile on his face

I've only spoken to you once or twice

You sound very nice, not cold as ice

Like he said, or maybe he meant

Cold as ice......in bed

Idle hands are the devil's workshop

Idle hands of your man

All over my tan.....brown body

A good man is not hard to find

A good man is hard to keep

Especially if you're a weak.......woman

He likes me because I talk back to him

I show him sass and spunk

I give him my lips to kiss

and my body to lick

I am the challenge you never were

I bring him breakfast in bed

Followed by a little head

And drink Mimosa's out of his naval

Hey girl, I understand

Everybody aint able

Quit trying to be the boss

And give that salad a toss

I ask him how was his day

And massage his head and his feet

Letting him know

He is my only treat

No disrespect intended

But then again

I don't owe you a thing

I didn't commit to you

He did!

We as women get mad at one another

Instead of dealing with the man

The man with idle hands

Who am I ?

I AM THE OTHER WOMAN!! Ya Dig?..

Lesson Of The Day: Too Black

Keeping It Real:  Isn't that a bit much to be called Too Black, is there such a thing?

They take my kindness for weakness
They take my silence for speechless
They consider my uniqueness strange
They call my language slang
They see my confidence as conceit
They see my mistakes as defeat
They consider my success accidental
They minimize my intelligence to potential
My questions mean I am unaware
My advancement is somehow unfair
To voice my concern is discontentment
If I stand up for myself, I am too defensive
If I don't trust them, I am too apprehensive
I am defiant If I separate
I am fake If I assimilate
My character is constantly under attack
Pride for my race makes me Too Black. Ya Dig?...
