What is it about men and their money?
A guy once told me that he was advised by his mother to never give women money. It seems to be a way to suss out which women wanted him as a sponsor instead of a partner. If a man showed no desire to help a woman out financially, would that be a sign that he is smart or inconsiderate?
Women today generally prefer to hold their own financially. I don’t know a lot of women who have a salary requirement for the men that they date. I wonder if they would look to test a man to see if he would be a good provider, though. How important is being a provider to women?
Do you think men today use wealth to attract women?
Guys, what are your thoughts about your money and your confidence? Are the two related?

Actually Kimmie, was not Bruce Willis a lot older. So she has flipped in both directions. I’m suggesting that she might want to meet me in the middle.

Stop it pleeeeeeeease
Yeah, my heart skipped a beat for that little old lady. I was proud to see those men not having the heart to remove her. I believe they said her daughter was 83. I’m mad too at the person that did the 2nd mortgage. We know she didn’t do it.

@Fion..I am valid honey cause I am me. In all my glory. I am a little bit crazy, a little bit country, and I have learn how to be solid as a rock when sh**t hits the fan and I have to tuck in roll. I validate me everyday just by staying true to who I am. My son is precious to me..but the boy ain’t my life. Now I am gonna stop talking to you cause I have started rhyming my blog post.
O/T @For Real..where in the sam hell do they find these joker? These new crooks..got some cajones(sp) I will give them that. Robber gonna sue the people he rob..foolishness I say.

I’m hungry. I did good yesterday. I didn’t eat dinner though. My kid asked for FF so I stopped on the way. I though had a couple pieces of fruit and a bag of Cracker Jacks. I haven’t had breakfast so I’m starving right about now.

thanks fion (though I can’t front. I’m the same way sometimes when it comes to arguing moot points. drives my friends/family crazy – probably why I do it and probably why you are doing it).
kym – nothing surprises me when it comes to suing folks. heck, suing is one of the new hustles. why work hard when you can just aim for that one good settlement.
I’m hungry. if my co-workers happen to hear my stomach growling they might sign me up for some charity list.

I went to Target midnight Friday morning to get a tv, my first time I ever did the Black Friday shopping. Store was to open at midnight and they had lines on both sides of the building, I thought when the doors open people go in. Shoot when 12 came around the line never moved at 12:15 I pulled out of the parking lot and reasoned with myself why I never done any Black Friday shopping.

I used to love the black Friday sales. My mom and I would go every year. But the earlier the stores started opening, the less fun it became (for me, anyway).

@12:45 I was standing in the middle of Target talking to the manager about customer service, sales, and workflow.
By 1:30, he actually figured out it was a good idea to open more than 2 registers for 300 people….
