Yeah, Charles is the cute one.

Wait, I haven't had my coffee yet. brb

Good morning ladies, and Charles

I'm just here at work, pretending to work and waiting for the games to start. I am predicting Egypt and Cameroon to go through to the next round. We had a scare at work yesterday but luckily we have some kick @$$ back up systems that saved us.

usually it takes alcohol to make me cute, not coffee

well if you lived near me you would know my degree is not fictitious, bu then again something else you do not know, maybe whine about later.. back all to your fantasy life carry on .. i have work to do..take care . hope the advice helped!!..Schizophrenia is usually hallucinatory and paranoid in nature..I would call this more the bi polar grooup myself....

Hola Ladies, Gents and (Charles) .

I just got out of this interview where the woman giggled 42 times.

[sigh] I'm having trouble finding an assistant in the office. Maybe I'm being too particular. I think I need a vacation. Or a rich uncle to die.

Difficult or not to find an assistant, I don't think I would want this lady. Sounds annoying

maybe she had some "cush" before the interview to relax her nerves

(over exaggerated J-Lo accent) jo'llaahh Cheeespaaahh!!!!

I love that pic Charles

pssst? charles....come ova' here...sshhh.*whispering* we can't see her, she's been put on block. Okay...'kay!
Bye now
UNO

I'm back. Have to pretend to work today and not play too much.

Muy bien Uno. You pronounced it correctly.

I just read this on Fox News. Someone allegedly left their children alone while they flew to Africa on marry someone they met on line. Hmmm ..........

Agradeciendola en anticipacion,

Chinemeze

Baya!!! Soy una chiva loca que anda por alli vacilando a la gente. Trato de ser ligera con las sugerencias porque ya pase por mi trauma y no es nada chistoza. Te mando un PM cuando llego a casa

Nena,

Que barbaridad, vos habla super bien el espanol. Cuenta me ahora, porque quiero ser un poco chismoso. Que onda? parece que tenemos mucho que contar. Bueno despues hablaremos en mas detalles. cuidate y que estes super bien

This is so shameful and sad. We don't need anymore negativity asociated with Nigeria.

Her sister was watching the kids, yeah right,,,, The fact that the kids ran out of money and food in 8 days, and the CPS contacted the girl in Nigeria, and she stayed for the original intended time. Tells me she was totally at fault.

She probably would have had a hard time meeting the 125% over poverty with a household of 8, but now whe can forget it.

Another thing, she says it was planned a year ago, and she has a one year old baby, Hmmmmm??????

Must say that I absolutely agree with you.

The story seems awfully odd to me. Like something, a lot is missing. In between story. Maybe I just refuse to believe. But, they watch two young children for a father that works, why would he drop them off and leave them if no adult was there when he arrived. Every time? And a 16 year old and a 15 year old didn't heat up a pizza, or call the police or the missing sister for help. It doesn't add up to me. Something is off? Why were they starving if the fruit was sitting in a bowl going bad. Couldn't they have eaten the fruit if they were smart enough to climb up to the freezer and pull out a frozen pizza? They said the kids were starving and the older ones couldn't remember their dates of birth. That kind of effect comes from long term malnutrition, not from a few weeks. (less than a month as they described it) I just feel like the story seems incomplete and misjointed. Not all the information is there, kind of like a tabloid. The parts of the truth are presented that are sensational enough to sell.

I agree with you about the media pumping up the story for a sensational tabloid dimension. I also agree some of the small pieces to the story are some-what shady, the frozen pizza, the additional 2 children (the father had to know the lady was gone), why were they not in school. the old fruit (kids watching themselves eating fruit) i do not think they were starving in that short amount of time. It is alleged there was no formula and diapers for the infant, I can believe the kids probably changed the diapers to often and mixed the formula wrong. The provisions the mother left for them were not rationed out the way she had hoped

Why I believe it actually happended, because, the children were found only a week after the mother left the country (the original story aired Jan 7) http://www.myfoxhouston.com/myfox/pages/Ho...mp;pageId=1.1.1. It took her and additional 3 weeks to return home. If it was an accident or a misunderstanding with her sister, I would think, she would have come home as soon as she was contacted about the children's welfare.

Maybe, I am a little hard about the issue with out having all the facts, but in Chicago people get caught leaving their kids, I have heard all of the stories about sisters, grandmas, the lady next door, the postal carrier, and 9 year old sibling being left in charge, it happens a couple of times a year. That is why I believe that it is more than likely it occured than not.

oh well, i guess we can all just warm up the report button instead

One part of the above story that catches my attention, is that the older children couldn't remember their names. Did they use the money to high? I can sadly say that on one of my trips to Cameroon, a friend stayed at the house with my children. She was supposed to send my son and daughter to Arizona after a week. Mind you, this woman was 33 years . She spent the money I left, toured with her girlfriend who came later, and told the kids I didn't leave money for them. My kids were 16 and 19 so they knew better than to believe what she was saying, but they still questioned whether I would have left them without money for so long. The kids called me and when they realized that she wasn't going to share the money I left or do anything I asked, they were preparing to press charges on her. The only thing that stopped them was they rewere afraid of what would happen to me. So
they were going to Arizona to be with their father and since they never left adjustments were made. Sadder than that, each time my cell phone was called I was billed whether I answered it or not. That baby sitting job cost me a chunk of money, and I haven't said one word to my friend since then. My attitude was that she had fun with the money, did what she wanted and thought it would be ok with me.
Sorry for the ranting, but I will never forget the stress she inflicting on all of us.

easy killah . a wise individual once told me that the world is a global village she has not gotten away scott free
I also hate you and your children had to endure that situation

g'morning everyone, it's almost friday

Good morning ladies, and Charles

Payday!!!!

Good Mornin' All

I almost forgot it was payday. Darn work. I've been diong so many things that I forgot to think about my money! Argh. The latest out here is that Districts are going to be Rifing people due to budget cuts. No taxes from homes sales no money for education.

Oh my gosh! That's incredible! I would be so pissed. I can't imagine how people think.




I get paid every other Tuesday. But I will get paid on the 5th. Now that I've posted that I'll need security to walk me out to my car.

I'm really not familiar with the crazy things people do.....I try to avoid the local news cause it depresses me. I k now that there is a part of me that doesn't like to believe that someone would do that. I do find the story odd. They found the kids after a week.....that's good. They didn't make it sound that way. Starving kids....rotten fruit....they made it sound like she was gone for a month and they caught up with the kids after weeks of neglect. oh well......hopefully it gets sorted out.

Hmmm...quiet.

Maybe I should say something controversial

or just wait for someone to show up and start some chit.

I guess so Charles....but I am bored now

Its a sad existence when I look to VJ for entertainment

I am here.

Ooops I forgot that you are on East Coast time Zee. I'll check you in the morning when I get to work. Fill me in on anything juicy that I may have missed.

or you can always read yahoo's odd news for entertainment

I love Yahoo's odd news! Like the guy whose pit bull chewed off four of his toes and he's so upset that they took the dog away. He wants his sweet puppy back!

OK. Maybe I will try to get something going ...... is everyone ready for Super Tuesday?

given the candidates, no. i'm not the least bit excited about it.

good morning to every one. I have a question for all y'all.
Does your significant other look like "your type?"
If you would not have met you s.o. they way that you did, would you be with them now?

my answer, is no, my husband is not my type "physically."
he is an attractive man, but I prefer the dark milk chocolate complexion, and some one who is kinda "thick".
my husband is very skinny and oven roasted chicken complected.
and if it were not for his intelligence, persistence and sense of humor,
I would never have even agreed to meet him.
but as my husband says "God knows better!"
next person to the "honesty mic"

um, long hair, big boobies, sexy accent. yeah she's my type

Ummm ...... Kind Of.... My husband has beautiful eyes, an athletic built, but he is barely taller than me. In the past I usually dated guys who were much taller than me. But oh well ... to me he is still F-I-N-E !!!!!!

Yeah..... He came across as extremely confident with a pinch of arrogance and a touch of vanity..........PERFECT

I think my fiance is totally my type. Tall, athletic, nice teeth, nice smile, smart....blah blah blah. Our personalities click and sometimes it is scary that we know so much about each other. The first thing that struck me when I first saw him was how tall he was (over 6 ft).



That brings tears to my eyes Charles

Had I met my husband here in America, I would not have looked at him all. He's tall and lanky, but it would have been where and with whom he hung out that would have turned me off. In Africa most of the people I saw him with were family folks who didn't drink or smoke. Once here, all that went out the window. Here, the drinking, smoking and not wanting to go to Church is a huge nail in my chest.

Almost forgot, another way my husband is my type is that he has nice teeth!!!! For me that's a MUST!

Boaz,
When I went to the Bamenda region I was struck by how many people had nice teeth. There was one tribe, Banso, where it seemed like they all had straight healthy looking teeth. I asked about it and the people I was with thought it was strange for me to say that. A few of the people had never seen braces in their lives!

Hey Chis ,
I must work on my espanol/spanglish .
It seems you said
"berry??" you are a crazy nanny goat walking/working for *alli*"?????
if my translation is off , its because I have not spoken spanish since high school. and as you know, I grew up in the 70's so that is a gooood indicator of my age bracket . I have been laughing at my translation for the last couple of days
and just got brave enough to post it .

Good Uno. Igive you a B+ for your translation. Baya = Wow ( in slang terms) and chiva loca= crazy goat. Alli = around there. So I said Wow! I am just a silly goat going around joking around with people. I grew up in the 70's too so don't feel bad. The only difference is that was in another country then and spent some summers in the US.
