Dating: No laughter, no love
It has been a long week, people. From earthquakes, hurricanes, sad and heartbreaking headlines, the one thing that really can be the best medicine is laughter. I’ll be honest, dudes with no sense of humor don’t fare well with me. I am pretty sure I’m not the bee’s knees for them, either.
I have this theory that people who lack a sense of humor probably have something to hide. I have no scientific evidence of this, mind you. I just don’t trust people that don’t laugh. Have you ever tried to go on a date with a humorless individual? It’s like sitting in the dentist’s chair, only not as messy.
Do you rank great sense of humor as an important thing or are you fine with being the comic relief in a relationship?
Have you ever been on a date with someone and you laughed the entire time?
Blog prize awarded to the funniest story/joke/comment of the day. You guys decide the winner.
We all can use a little humor these days, don’t you agree?
Happy FUN Friday everyone!

good point, reign. and i guess that’s why it wouldn’t occur to me to ask about race. if he’s black and i’m black, i’m gonna assume he has a pretty good handle on “our ways”. i couldn’t care less if he’s done otherwise in the past.
different story when you’re different race/ethnicity/faith etc.
celisea, that’s awesome!

Oh and for lunch I had 9 wings and a slice of cake…I don’t think that was too bad. I’m SERIOUSLY wanting a snack…for real. Imma hold out though. It’s almost time to go.

I have been told that she had never dated outside her race but if she ever did and I was single that she would date me. I think that was a compliment sort of. LOL
Hey we are having a convo about race and UGA hasn’t showed up. LOL

I really need to be more consistant with eating something, anything for breakfast. I think that would help.

good music and slapping a mag right over the console is the only way i know to stop myself from clocking every step/calorie/minute. actually, i follow the closed captioning on the tv at the same time. told yas i have ADD.
i usually skip workouts on friday, but i’m going tonight because i treated myself to beer and pretzels last night. what can i say? i had a BAD day.
ahhhh. tonight … ‘colombiana’!

czBrat – I forgot to take my ear plugs and plug into the treadmill so I was watching Barbershop 2…in silence…anything for a distraction. It went off right at 33 minutes into my walk so I became distracted…LOL

PR – I know…just not a breakfast person. If I eat breakfast, as in a full breakfast I can’t do nothing after that. It makes me too full and lazy. I’m not a big meat eater either. Usually I want a slice of cheese toast, hashbrowns and coffee or a slice of cheese toast and maybe a small pork link, or eggs and hashbrowns. The oatmeal in my building is about the best I’ve had but I have to recover from the heartburn it incites so I usually keep away. Pancakes and waffles and eggs and grits and toast and hashbrowns…way too much. When we have breakfast out, I’ll have a half order of french toast, hashbrowns and coffee. I’m might talk alot about snaking but I’m really not a big eater.

reign, what’s that saying? breakfast like a king. lunch like a prince. dine like a pauper? something like that.
good advice, but i find it hard to eat much in the morning too. at least during the week. weekends are a whooooole other story! LOL.
be safe and have a wonderful weekend!
ciao all!

Metabolism is like a fire, food is like the wood, n exercise is like gasoline. If u eat one huge meal once a day u can smother the fire with to much wood and not burn efficiently. But if u eat small healthy meals throughout the day you will give ur fire just enuugh wood to keep the fire burning strong.

That’ the way one should eat in a day. Eat light for dinner and hopefully nothing past 8:00.

I can do something everyday if it’s light but not a full course meal. I had an egg white omelet at the recommendation of my coworker….he eats one everyday. It was YUCK. Given it was my first, I should have had very little spinach added, a few sprinkles of shredded cheese, onion and peppers. The chef downstair put about a bag of spinach in it and really I found myself “crunching” leaves….ut uh. I think I’ll try it again maybe next week. Just make sure it’s done to my liking.

I agree on the metabolism thing PR. I got a girlfriend that’s 37 with 3 kids and she can’t keep above a 6. She eats 6 meals a day.

I love egg white omelets. And egg whites are probably the purest source of protein.
You can also make yourself a fritatta, Celisea, and then just heat it up for breakfast. That way, it’s cooked the way you like with ingredients you like.

So, I’m funny, handsome, fairly stable, own a home, have a nest egg,, have an artistic bent and groom myself on a regular basis. Where is my lady? What is with Atlanta ladies? I see lovely ladies with real losers all over this town! Do ladies here lack self-esteem? Are y’all waiting for Rhett Butler to come along? Ashley Wilkes was the better MAN!

Into the light: There is a substance very similar to egg whites that is entirely made of protein! Can you guess?
