How flexible are you?
If you’ve ever been on a date with an uptight, straight-laced person, then you already know how much fun it is to be around them. It seems as if these individuals are not always aware that they come across as uncompromising and inflexible. I’m not the type to turn into some doormat for a man. Believe me, I can speak up and express my opinion without hesitation. However, I am also able to go with the flow and relax too.
I think that while dating around, you absolutely have to be able to keep a good attitude. If you go around with hard and strict rules about every single thing then you are bound to run off a potentially great match. How flexible are you in dating? How do you handle sudden plan changes? What do you do when you don’t get your way on a date?
Have you ever dated someone who was stubborn and set in their ways? Is there a point where you have to either accept them for who they are or call them on it and ask them to bend a little?
I think when you have been single and on your own for a long time, your compromising muscle seems to atrophy a bit. What is a good way to exercise it a little?

When you sad depressed and feeling strange–who you blame

You’re all I need to get me through this thang–true to game

Mytwo I’m going to overlook the blasphemy in your post – but I agree, Diana Ross isn’t the strongest singer but she is the original Diva. I was a true Ross stan back in the day. I would cry if someone spoke bad about her, LOL.
My boo doesn’t want to go to the concert with me…

[Chorus]
I feel no pain
I can’t complain
Stuck in the game
Tryin to maintain
Cause I’m so real
[Pimp C]
We blow big everyday
But that don’t stop our pain
Or bring back our homeboys that we done lost off in this dirty game
Got n iggas doin 40
When you 25 that’s life
I guess when your career is sellin d ope somebody got to pay the price
These b it ch a ss n ig gas shife
N i gg as might snitch out they momma
That’s why me and Leroy watch stay strapped and ready for all drama
Cause we ain’t promised tommorow
But n ig ga you promised to die
Ni gg a can’t you see you gettin to high trippin of that potent fry
At night I talk to God and try to understand
How people can worship false prophets and say prayers to a man
I guess they already gone, ain’t nothin gone bring them back
So I just say thanks for what I got and blow on indo sacks
I still love my piece of change, wood grain and big head ones
But I had to realize in life everything ain’t always fun
I guess that’s true for some
But them h o es will never win
Out here just hustlin and grindin
Tryin to change from ni g gas to men

Weird question some woman posted on yahoo questions:
My jaw hurts slightly as i open my mouth wide, 2 days now and getting worse, any ideas, my teeth dont hurt?
My baby left me,
Left me sad and blue
I didn’t know what to do…
Without my baby baby baby baby
And then i met his best friend
And he took me to his house
And i said… i said…
(what you said baby) let me tell you what i said…
Put it in my mouth
She said put it in her mouth

Quando sono solo
sogno all’orizzonte
e mancan le parole
si lo so che non c’e luce
in una stanza quando manca il sole
se non ci sei tu con me
Su le finestre
mostra a tutti il mio cuore
che hai acceso
chiudi dentro me
la luce che
hai incontrato per strada
Con te partiro
paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te
adesso si li vivro
Con te partiro
su navei per mari
che io lo so
no no non esistono piu
con te io li vivro
Quando sei lontana
sogno all’orizzonte
e mancan le parole
e io si lo so
che sei con me con me
tu mia luna tu sei qui con me
mio sole tu sei qui con me
con me con me con me
Con te partiro
paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te
adesso si li vivro
Con te partiro
che io lo so
no no non esistono piu
con te io li rivivro
Con te partiro
su navi per mari
che io lo so
no no non esistono piu
con te io li rivivro
Con te partiro
lo con te

Afternoon All,
Dayum what i just walked into? Kinda like stumbling into a cool-azz ol school house party. How come nobody do that no more?
OK so heres my contribution courtesy of none other than MJG;
Hit a lick wit some
Tell my b#**h to quick get the gun
We got some sh*t to run so shut up and cut off the grits they done
I want you up on your feet until they blister some
B**ch you understand what I’m sayin’
I’m the official one
Mjg I pimp strong until the reasons gone
Until it ain’t no ho tracks left to sprinkle seasonin on

we called em tennis shoes, now since being away for a while occasionally i call them sneakers. Kicks was typically “upstate”
I’m originally from Cali (i.e. tennis shoes), but I’ve lived in GA since 85′. I had a major communication breakdown with him using sneeker and my using tennis shoe. My son and I’d gone to the flea market at old national and unknown to me his son had asked my son to pick him up a pair of “sneekers”… We’d been home about an hour and dude comes over and asked me if I’d bought his son some “sneekers”, of course I said no (puzzled, shaking my head)… he wanted to know where the “sneekers” came from (he didn’t give his son permission) … he burned them in the bbq pit. I didn’t know what he was talking about until he came back over the the box… oops my bad!

LL411… Now that was funny…I bet it depends on what part of GA you are from. We grew up saying tennis shoes as well. He probably was country as hell putting those shoes in the BBQ pit
