    Flat Earth - What are you walking on?

    Love the topic and I am here for it. I like reading through people's ideas about it. Do I believe it? Nope. I still think it is interesting. I feel like if the government, the world leaders, NASA, etc. were going to lie to us about something, it would be the moon landing or aliens, not the...

    What Does Black History Month Mean to You?

    Black History should not be pushed and shoved into one box. You think white people living like this? They reflect on their history all the time. They use it. They learn from it. They advance with that knowledge. We need to do the same to be better informed, better prepared, and better aware of...

    Which could you live without?

    Since we live in such a tech forward world these days, it is hard to imagine how I would spend my time without my PC, phone, etc. I grew up without having a smart phone or being on the PC 24/7 so I know I had things going on as a kid but as an adult? I don't know what I would be doing. Most of...

    I think Lil Nas X is acting

    Hollywood is a giant clown show. You need to say and do things to stand out. Standing out more = more money. Just look at that Sam Smith dude. He never used to look, act, and sound like he does now and he ain't even gay. My gay-dar goes off every time I hear that man speak. They all behave...

    Ants And Termites Create A Gang Truce.

    I never had problems with these in my house, thank GOD. The last house I was renting though, it had an apple tree that was not cared for and it had termites in it. They had to cut it down which was a shame.

    Anybody Know Any Black Authors That Write Fantasy Books?

    The only ones I know of off the top of my head are Roseanne A. Brown and Ayana Gray. I am sure there are more though. I think you might be able to go on Amazon and sort by black author. I know that was an option before. I don't know if they removed it or not.

    750k Household at Risk of Evictions

    That's a thing!? It seems like I have a lot to learn. Thanks for all this information. I am taking notes. I know the housing market is a mess right now and won't be fixed anytime soon (if ever).

    White Women On the Job

    We all call her Karen even though her name is Samantha. One of the older ladies made a joke that her real name suits her cause she seems like a witch. LOL I never watched "Bewitched" but I have heard of it. There is a younger nurse, also white, who rats on her which is hilarious. Anytime she...

    750k Household at Risk of Evictions

    Nice. I will look into this. I think my boyfriend works with someone whose wife is an agent. Maybe she can get me some information. I don't want to be going into bidding wars this summer if I find something I like. I would rather get it before it goes public.

    If you won the lottery, what's the first thing you'd do?

    I would settle any debt I have. Then I would look into buying a home for myself as well as my parents. I would likely get a few cars too. One new one for my standard car and one that is older but in good condition that has no computer BS in it for back up if those solar flares do end up...

    Can A Man Be In Love With With Two Women??

    I think you can have different kinds of love for different women. I think the same can be said for women with men. The issue is that it is hard for a man to form longstanding love with more than one woman. The kind of love that is rooted in friendship and respect. Does that make sense? I mean...

    White Women On the Job

    This is fair. I think this is more common in equal positions because I see it at the clinic. There is a woman who is a little older than me, she is white. We are considered to be on the same level in terms of education and pay but she acts like she runs the place when she is around me or any of...

    750k Household at Risk of Evictions

    There were rumors in 2021 of Blackrock or Blackstone (I can't remember which one), that they were buying up houses all over the country to turn them into rentals. I also saw a lot of BS from WEF dealing with making sure gen Z is the first rental generation meaning over 70% of them never actually...

    750k Household at Risk of Evictions

    I will look into this. Thanks for the tip. I have heard of them but I am not really familiar with what they are exactly. I have checked programs in my area and the only ones that I seem to be able to apply for is a small discount for first time home-buyers that are married and over the age of...

    750k Household at Risk of Evictions

    I have been watching the housing market since 2019. I am checking prices and seeing what is available at least twice a month but mostly once or twice a week and I can tell you, something is not right. Next to no houses are available for under 400k yet when I drive around, I see all sorts of...

    Should Famous / Rich Men Record for Protection?

    All men that are rich and famous, don't matter their skin tone, are targets for harpies looking to make money off them. I think they tend to go after black men though cause black men (athletes especially) will lower their standards for easy access. I have heard some stories of women taking...

    Do you consider yourself a planner or spontaneous?

    I own a physical planner so I am fairly certain I am a planner. I don't like surprises. I like to have plans mapped out and backup plans for if something changes. Maybe that is just me. I been like that since I was a teen.

    White Women On the Job

    I am not sure about this. I feel like in my experience and from what I have seen, white women target black men more and like to have them under the heel so to speak. Maybe it depends on the type of business and job.

    Ohio Chernobyl

    I looked into it more. That one with the red is from the aquifers. That means the chemicals have been found in those areas of the water supply which does not surprise me because as I mentioned, one binds to liquid. I think cause a lot of people are panicking and there is a lot of people out...

    Ideal companion as far as pets go?

    They aren't for everyone but you can't knock em till you spend time with them. Most people that don't like cats just haven't been around them enough.
