Speaking of books; do we want to keep the conversation about "Loving the African Male" in this thread or do we want a completely new thread for it?


Definitely a separate thread. This one is a written to allow for free comments. Definitely don't want free comments. I hope people don't give us a hard time about the book club again. I wish we could give it a secret password for book club members only.


I still haven't gotten my book, but they have already taken my money!



If you have one, would you pass that word on to me. I really like reading you guys.

I'm nice. I promise.

You should get it soon. I think you ordered a little after me and I got mine yesterday.

So I guess a new thread then.

For whoever starts the thread I think there should be a disclaimer in the beginning saying that we would appreciate comments from readers and non-readers alike but we want to keep the thread on topic to the subjects discussed in the book. We are just using the book as a way to bring up topice we feel relevant to the discussion and may agree or disagree with what others say but we want to keep it a warm, repectful and friendly environment for everyone.

I flipped through my book last night and I already have some comments about what we will be discussing.

Who else is waiting for the book?


I think I like your wording better. I was just thinking "Don't come up in hur startin' no mess!" But yours might go over better.



laughing.gif OK. We can use my wording unless someone else comes up with something more concise

I am waiting for mine still. I would just cut and paste what you wrote above as the guidelines for the discussions. The one thing I would add is if anyone is "flaming" another person, that person can be ignored or reported to a moderator if he/she repeatedly violates the terms.

Which show do you want to see? My sister-in-law goes about once a month to see shows in NYC. I can ask her where she gets hers from. They are going to see one with James Earl Jones on Broadway the end of this month.

Perfect! The show I want to see is "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" ... guess who it's starring?!? James Earl Jones and many other big names. I would like to see it next week Fri. Of course this 'traveling bug' suddenly bite me. So I know it's a bit of a last minute notice. But anything she can do will be appreciated.

There's a tik center on 42nd street on the island that the junction of B'way. If you go there and stand in line three hours before the show, you might get tickets at a good price because they are last minute. If the show is sold out, you're SOL.

Good Morning!

I'm leaving work early today to take my daughter to get her shots. When she was three she started running. Now that she's five, she's actually pretty fast. So, we'll see how much of an ordeal this becomes. I've also been told, she's not my friend anymore. These vaccinations are traumatic for the whole family. Maybe we'll go to McDonald's afterwards and I can buy back my best friend.

Well, she was distracted and then the nurses came in. They hide the vaccines behind their back while I get her positioned on my lap and restrain her. She was kicking and screaming and fighting and then all of a sudden she fell completely silent. They gave her the shots and she turned her head away and didn't say a word. Didn't cry, nothing. I was TERRIFIED!!! So, I'm hugging and kissing and saying sweet words and she has this sad look on her face and won't talk to me. I felt horrible. I felt like a traitor or something.

Well, we got Tarzan and Jane (animated), Barbie Swan Lake, and Teletubbies on DVD. Stopped by McDonald's for take out and spent the afternoon rebonding. So, we're buddies again. I hope we don't have trust issues. I told her the same thing happened to me when I was a kid and it's to keep her safe. She just nodded. I HATE being a grown up!! I HATE cleaning up the cats vomit! I HATE paying my bills on time! I HATE going to work!! I HATE not having my Bassi with me! and I HATE taking my kid to get shots!!

Well I so have a quick question. Mr Husband and I are getting tired of just chating online. So I thought it would be fun to play an online game like Monopoly or something. For the life of me I can't figure out how to do this. Has anyone got any ideas or suggestions. Just looking for something different to pass the time.

About the hoagie... Have you daughter get it the day before or as late as possible. Tell her to ask for no sauce or mayo (I know that's what makes a hoagie good), also have them leave it whole. then She should put the wrapped sandwich in a zipploc bag and suck as much air out as possible. If she does this your hoagie shoud be very yummy.
I did these for a cousin that moved from Chicago to Arizona and was craving from up on 115th Street. She didn't come up for air for 20 minutes.

Have a good day YALL!

Bassi goes to a cafe, he doesn't have access to the internet at home. And at the cafe, they have an old version that doesn't work so we can't do it. Didn't know if that could play a part in why you can't get it to work.
