Dating: Reminisce!
Have you ever heard a song and was immediately reminded of an old flame? There are even times when I smell a certain cologne and the image of my ex pops in my head, and I smile. Reminiscing can be a really fun trip down memory lane.
Isn’t it fascinating how sounds, smells, or places can remind us of how we felt the first time we experienced them? I am a sentimental gal, so I have held on to a few mementos of former flames. When I want to think of the good memories, I pull out old photos or seek out reminders of happier times.
What are your best memories with someone you dated? What kind of things trigger particular memories of an old love?
Do you still have items from your past relationships that hold good memories for you?

I almost made a comment on Mmeell’s black wood remark. She would kill over if the blackwood got her. Stamina, size, strokes…IJS And the mind getting stroked as well? Naw, blackwood would have her hanging off a cliff.
Mo – LOLOL…my baaad. How are you?

C, I think she’s real, she doesn’t know how to show anger and snap back, that’s why men are able to treat her the way they do.

Actually I’ve been leery of the whole thing from the onset, but just never posted on it…I’m not sure what tipped the scale but I’m just expressing how I’m feeling. At least I haven’t turned it all the way up…

Single – Apparently she ain’t paying attention anywhere then huh? You can look around here and learn how to snapback…lol Maybe that’s what’s missing with Mags I mean I know their FWB agreement don’t really call for her to be angry, but she should be mad at herself for accepting below par. If you don’t know your worth, a dude slumming (not at you Bluz), dang sho ain’t looking out for you either.
Mo – A mini vacay is ALWAYS good. Happy birthday!! Anything special you did?

The cloak of anonymity this type of communication provides is a double edged sword. Some writers embellish while others, like myself, are too open and tell too much of their business. I posted stories on here years ago that I never told a soul in real life and some of yall still remember. Once you press send it’s out there. There is no message recall like in outlook.

Bluz is somewhere with that glossy look in her eyes…looking out the window…reminiscing and humming that song,“Take my breath awaaaaaay” for real.
Whew…okay..just over an hour left…

Celisea – Thanks! since it was in the middle of the week, I took it light ( or tried to) yesterday. Had breakfast w mom, hit the gym, went by Lil Mo’s school then had drinks with my sister and a friend at Cafe Circa. I will continue my celebration this weekend an on thru September 30th, LOL! Celebrating with the fam this weekend and Lil Mo this weekend.
And I need to stop staying away so long….whew!

C, she may not snap back but like you or someone stated a few days ago, she does seem to get quiet when everyone starts to come down on her, and sometimes it isn’t called for. I’m sure there are plenty of times she’s had to step away and have good cry because she doesn’t know how to say KMA and keep it moving.
and another reason I think she’s real can’t nobody keep up with lies like that, so it has to be true (LOL)

Therein lies the problem…she wants to learn on her knees and it’s NOT the time or situation. She’s gotta fall back a little bit and let him make the move…if any.

I hollered at “KMA”, I’m sure I would have said it by now. But then again, I wouldn’t be doing what she’s doing and if so, I wouldn’t tell a soul…lololol That was the laugh of the day for me.

Dushawn – Sup and True dat, but the thing is the blog has been over-run with fuggery. The audience is skeptical to a point. Back then yours and other stories were discussed. Nowadays they are weighed and measured.

No need to keep throwing out the “no offense, swiss” disclaimer. That’s one stereotype that doesn’t apply to me, and you know this, maaaaaaan.

Okay if that’s the case then I’m stepping away from the topic never to be posted on again. My final stance is and will be, Bluz, if you like it, then I LOVE it. Do you chica!!

33 dang, I am totally misinformed. Here I was thinking we talking to an under 25er. I am done now cause I really feel like she should get everything the game gives her now.
Sassy – yeah you right but she don’t know how to fall back (no pun)

Single is the only one sold that it’s real. I’m not buying. I stop buying a couple of weeks back, but to keep peace and harmony I just go with the flow and ask questions, give feedback and advice…lololol At least the day flows faster.

Actually, I’ve doubted all along. But I’m learning, on here and again, JUST GOOOOO WITH IT
If anybody not keeping it real talk long enough, they will slip and give it away. It ain’t rocket science.

And as far as alter egos go, there is Suzanne, Aquanetta (I think), Celquasha and CC waiting for hubs to come up with a name for the blind with fury side of her. We don’t want that other name…lol

Hey Mo, while we’re at it, do you have an alter ego (name) we can add to the wall? These are personalities IN THE PAST brought out that you either didn’t know was there or after seeing it, you had to place it in the dungeon under lock and key?
