Belly’s Sliders and Wings - Wings and sliders slathered in bold tosses

It started as a vision of four men to create financial freedom and generational wealth with a product that they each could relate to… FOOD! But little did they know how troubling this road would be. Their first event was a total disaster. After all the preparation that they had thought they had done they weren’t able to get the brand new fryers working. But that wasn't enough to deter these men from achieving their dreams. See for them they viewed every obstacle as a lesson. As a lesson...

Viola Davis says director called her by his maid’s name: ‘I knew him for 10 years’

Viola Davis says director called her by his maid’s name: ‘I knew him for 10 years’

Viola Davis is not the help.
The Oscar, Tony and Emmy winner has revealed that an unnamed filmmaker — a friend of nearly a decade — slipped up and called her by his maid’s name.
Davis, 56, dropped the bombshell claim during the “Women in Motion” event Thursday at the Cannes Film Festival: “He called me Louise — and I found out it was because his maid’s name was Louise.”
The diss went down when the now-revered “The First Lady” star was just starting out in the film biz. Davis added that it was not an isolated incident — but the sort of disturbing occurrence that happened repeatedly.
“I knew him for 10 years,” said Davis, clad in a scarlet suit. “I was maybe around 30 at the time, so it was a while ago — but what you have to realize is that those micro-aggressions happen all the time.”
The star — who earned an Oscar nomination for playing a maid in 2011’s “The Help,” a role Davis has said she regrets accepting — also discussed how race typically plays a role in the projects that she isn’t offered. “A lot of it is based in race. It really is,” she said.

He loves it: Ink enthusiast mom gets backlash for covering son with fake tattoos

Mom, Shameka Morris from Florida in the US has been labelled a bad mom by social media users for applying fake tattoos on her toddler son aged 1-years-old.

briefly.co.za

I want to hear everyone's take on this. I have mixed feelings. On one hand, she is bonding with her boy and she is putting him above everything else but on the other hand, she is promoting him as an accessory and he is likely becoming VERY spoiled. Even if I loved tats and was covered in them, I wouldn't be doing this.

The matrix trapping cage of the logic expressed below, precludes what other dimensions of more potency exist in the human capacity beyond our phenotypically similar cul de sac sources of incidental origin. Until your mind is freed to listen to the whisperings of your soul in its non-engaged sleep, you will have no hint or clue of what is greatly better!

I have been visting with my grandkids for the past two weeks and I'm extremely disturbed at all the LGBTQ subliminal messaging snd symbolism in the cartoons. My grandkids are 9,8, and 5.

One cartoon they've been watching is modeled after the cult and the Phonecians, the child sacrificing race that engaged in pedophilia. I'm disturbed because I know so many parents just allow their kids to watch animation alone with absolutely no knowledge of the occult and perversion woven into the shows.

Ion know how y'all do this child rearing today so hands off. I clearly understand now why kids are so screwed up. LGBTQ and the occult is openly being shown to our kids daily, and parents support it. If you have kids or grandkids, you should sit down and watch everything they watch.

Look for the lgbtq symbolism and language.

Watch the nonbinary character pushing.

Pay attention to the characters with anatomical parts bulging and how they interact with other characters.

Look for the occult symbols.

I am outdone. Really outdone. The overt perversion and occult symbolism is too much. How do you handle this, especially if you're a grandparent with little power to monitor and control tv consumption?

1. The thing I see a lot of black women have a problem with is that the quality she speaks of takes time. Black women want that right away.

2. Black women are poor at assessing potential. They want the results upfront. They can't see a guy who has potential and get with him and see that potential through.

3. Black women take an all of the above strategy. What I mean by this is that they want a guy who checks every box. He is a certain height, he is a certain complexion, he makes a certain amount of money, he has a house, he has a nice car, he looks a certain way etc. Now I get that you were going to want to be with someone that you find attractive, but with black women, if the guy doesn't meet every single check box then they write them off.

_________________________________________

Here's how that plays on the other side with Becky, Rosario, Ling etc.

1/2. Women of other races are a lot better at assessing potential. They see a guy who may not be making that much money but they realize he has potential. They get with him early on and see that potential through and the guy grows. Since that girl was with him when he had nothing he really values her now that he is doing well for himself.

3. Women of other races tend to look at the overall picture. Even if the guy isn't exactly what she wants she is willing to talk to him and see how things work. Maybe the guy isn't as tall. Maybe the guy doesn't drive the kind of car that she would like to see him driving. Women of other races can write these things off and get to know a guy for who he is. Maybe the guy was driving a Honda or Toyota and she would rather see him in a BMW. She takes the time to get to know the guy and as he grows now he's able to get that BMW.

_----------------------------------------------------------

Black women get upset when they see a successful black man with a woman of another race. What they fail to realize is this is the guy that would have shot down because he wasn't successful when they woman met him!

Don't know much about politics but do know a lot about energy: When the killer did his research, he knew who to find. People with a docile forgiving spirit. Ever notice these killers do not come around people with a warrior spirit? They feel the energy from a mile away.

The Root of Haiti’s Misery: Reparations to Enslavers https://nyti.ms/3G3zNKB

But France made generations of Haitians pay for their freedom — in cash.

How much has remained a mystery, until now. The Times scoured centuries-old documents to find the answer.

One of the most important things to me in a woman is natural beauty.
A lot of celebrities are always seen in make up and are rarely seen with out it.

With the right make up most women can be made to look pretty good.

I think one of the things about my wife is that she's naturally good looking even without makeup. Now I'm not an idiot either. She looks even better with makeup but she doesn't need to wear a lot of it to look good.

Even when she wakes up she's beautiful!

What are your thoughts on natural beauty?

Or as Beyonce said "I woke up like this!"

I was looking into some of those long-range forecasts and for the US, most areas are going to be hot and dry. Some places will be hot and wet. It is looking like we should expect to see more storms and likely more droughts which is bad news for farmers and produce. We are already looking at being shorted for the winter season when it comes to crops. I started growing some stuff, I hope you are all doing the same this summer. Do wheat if you can manage, that will be the biggest crop shortage from the look of things.

Where I am at though, it will be hot and wet, likely humid too. Probably going to have some crazy thunderstorms this year.

I don't know where to get one, but I'm damn sure going to get one.
I might design one and have it printed up, I'd like a different font and maybe a graphic on there somewhere.

Xeralto MAY not have the spectrum of efficacy that would be presumed

Xeralto MAY not have the spectrum of efficacy that would be presumed.docx

Xeralto MAY not have the spectrum of efficacy that would be presumed

I went from Coumadin to Xarelto in January 2021 for the presumed latitude of benefits. I resumed my consumption of green leafy vegetables for their ruffage/anti-constipation value. Also, I’ve been doing low-impact aerobics for at least 75 minutes every day.

This past Thursday in the 3o’clock hour in mid-80’s heat, I was dragging branches across a mowed field for 120 yards to the curb. On the second trip I felt weakness in my legs from what was a bulky but NOT a heavy load.

Despite having had 16 oz. container of water with a sandwich 30 minutes before, I experienced wobbliness after dropping the load at the curb. I became so wobbly that I sat down and then had to lay down to moderate the onset of dizziness (as an ex-medic, I should have had my legs elevated on the nearby bushes, but didn’t in the stress of the moment.

A contractor/friend who had been planting a tree for me in the area where I had taken the branches happened to drive to the area where I heard, spotted, and called out to him. He saw my condition and assisted me back inside. I lay in my bed for a bit, catching my returning breath before going to get more water to drink for what I supposed was to cure what I assumed was the heat exhaustion, though I hadn’t been exerting enough sweat when I was dragging the branches to the curb.

Because I’d been told of the better efficacy of Xarelto over Coumadin, I didn’t think this episode had anything to do with the acute PE/DVT’s I was diagnosed for in June 2011, which originally put me on Coumadin. When I saw that even when I was able to rise 30 minutes after the event, I had to use props as canes to support me to go out the 30 to 40 yards to view the newly planted tree.

It wasn’t until after 5pm-over an hour after the event-for me to feel stable enough to go take a shower. An hour later after 6pm when getting ready to go out to an event, I was still feeling the echoes of the weakness of 2-hours prior.

While at the event, my subconscious memory came up with the similarities of this event to the symptoms I’d had prior to the June 2011 acute episode that had me going to the ER, where the triage nurse guessed the diagnosis of my condition. Her diagnosis explained my lower kinesiological performance when just walking to doing recreational sports when I became fatigued to breathless to dizzy.

If these recent symptoms prove clinically to indicate a return of the higher clotting factor due to the absence of the S-enzyme in my physiology, then the Xeralto doesn’t have the spectrum of effectiveness one would expect and needs supplemental checks on the blood for advanced clotting as was done when taking Coumadin.
