HC Soror lovelyivy, the lily-white publishing folks are often propped up by family caiche?

HC many of those women only stay in the market until they can find their Chad, Tad or Brad?

HC I don't generally listen to pop music -- but find Nelly and Kelly's Dilemma very enjoyable?

HC I found a free Mp3 site and downloaded it and Truth Hurts/Rakim's Addictive?

HC I can't download Jay-Z's Give it to Me?

HC I did have my talk with monkey (my name that tired arse brotha in my study group)?
HC before everyone went home, I aksed him if he could stay after for a minute so that I could talk to him?
HC this negro said...."ummm, why? I already have a woman"?
HC I was like

?
HC then

?
HC double

?
HC then

again, because I was thinking "I KKNNNOOOOWWWW this monkey don't think that I want him?"
HC oh heck no?
HC they don't even have a "smilie" to portray my feelings on that statement?
HC a sistah remained calm though, even though she wanted to straight break out a KEG of whoop a$$ on him right then and there!!!?
HC I told him, first off, I had a man, and secondly, I don't remotely see you that way so you can slow your roll on that one?
HC I then told him that I felt like there was some unnecessary tension between him and I?
HC he was like how so?
HC I asked he why did he ALWAYS feel the need to start a debate everytime I opened my mouth to say something?
HC was like he doesn't do it on purpose, he just finds fault with a lot of things I say?
HC I told him that one component of debating was having facts to back up what you say, and not just what you PERSONALLY think?HC he was just like well, whatever?
HC this was his response to pretty much everything?
HC whatevery my behind?
HC our talk was pretty much useless since this monkey wasn't really trying to hear what I had to say?
HC I bet if it was one of the white girls talking to him, he would be all attentive?
HC although nothing really got resolved, I know his intent and will be ready to take this dispute on to the next administrative step in order to get it resolved?
HC he just don't know.....?
HC monkeys usually don't

HC you prolly won't see me in a Ludacris video?
HC rap is good music for exercising?
HC I may be having an early midlife crisis?

HC I don't turn 40 for another two years?

HC Honeykiss called that man a "monkey?"
HC www.badazzmofo.com's editor calls Cuba Gooding a "porch monkey?"
HC I somewhat agree?
HC CGJr. doesn't hold out for better scripts?

HC Soror Steeltrap, I know about them white folks living on Mommy and Daddy's cash
HC I ain't mad, I wish I had it like that too!
HC I just wish that this industry would take into account that not everybody lives that way, and by not paying interns they cut down on the number of qualified minority applicants they will receive
HC we just can NOT afford it
HC it's VERY frustrating

lovelyivy84 · #97 09-09-2002, 07:14 PM

HC okay I feel better now
HC I got a call from a publishing company
HC their editorial internship PAYS

HC I agree, Soror?
HC I didn't take a training job at Fairchild Publications (Women's Wear Daily, W) in 1995 because they were only offering $25K for a job in NYC?

HC $25K wouldn't cut it for a woman with bills and no family support?

HC I think the magazine industry is truly a "Jill Job" situation?

HC I haven't consolidated them yet though, so there is hope.

HC I had a meeting with a group of my volunteers last night?
HC the volunteer manager for that group stopped by the office yesterday looking for me?
HC I was out?
HC I came in as she was there?
HC she was sitting at a table with my boss?

HC I KNEW she didn't have no business over there?
HC I walk over to talk to her, and I hear my boss discussing what will be done after I'm gone?
HC I lightweight got an attitude?
HC she did NOT need to tell her that I was leaving?
HC I wanted to tell her myself?

HC this volunteer is one of my few Black ones, and I had bonded with her?
HC I just felt like that was MY news to share?
HC what ticks me off about it is that she didn't even ask to see my boss?
HC my boss heard that she was downstairs and took it upon herself to go down and talk to her?
HC that right there is one of the reasons I'm up outta this piece?
HC she could not just wait until I went to my meeting a few hours later?
HC after my meeting, I sat down with my volunteer to talk with her?
HC she immediately asked me if the problem was my boss?
HC everyone knows how she is?
HC that is a trip?
HC I was sad that I had to tell them I was leaving?
HC that's the part of my job that I truly love?

HC I realized today that this really had become my home?
HC I'm going to miss so many people here?

HC not so much that I'd stay, though, lol?

Honeykiss1974 · #**101** 09-13-2002, 11:38 AM

HC i have some good news to report?

HC last night in our study group, the monkey was very civil?
HC his behavior seemed to improve since "the talk"?
HC I guess he had time to think it over?
HC I might have to upgrade my name for him?
HC I am glad today is F to the R to the I to the D to the A to the Y?
HC

?
HC it will be nice and cool this weekend, so I plan to enjoy it?
HC thank goodness for Fall, my favorite time of year?
HC

?
HC I hope that everyone has a good weekend and GOD bless?
HC

HC I am so happy for this thread?
HC I'm finally taking advantage of it?
HC I can because my supervisor finally took her azz home?
HC she had the nerve to tell me that handling my "personal" business before doing work is not a good work ethic?
HC she told me this after I got off the phone with my son's daycare?
HC I made the call during my lunchbreak?
HC she is too busy being evil to realize that?

HC she never bothered to ask if my son was okay?
HC I expect her to care?
HC I will pray for her?
HC I'm done talking 'bout her?
HC I want to move on to something else?
HC there is only one R&B radio station in Austin?
HC it sucks?
HC I know so because I am from Northern Va.?
HC I requested a song by Musiq Soulchild?
HC the DJ said, "Who's that?"

HC I'm movin' on again?
HC it's so easy to do so many HC?
HC black folks trip when they find out I am a vegetarian?
HC some binch had the nerve to say only white people eat that way?
HC I will pray for her too?
HC I will after I stuff a veggie burger down her throat?!

HC they don't understand that I won't let diabetes, cancer or anything get me?
HC it hurts to see so many of our people suffer from these diseases?
HC I am setting a good example for my son?
HC my husband has followed suit and eats better too?
HC (y'all ain't gonna believe this) my supervisor just walked back into the office?

HC I have to cease and desist HC right now?
HC I'm pissed?

Nappy_in_NJ · #**103** 09-15-2002, 04:18 PM

HC my internship is keeping me very busy
HC that's good, I want to parlay this into a good job come May 2003

HC I am a mess

HC I will go back to doing homework now

lovelyivy84 · #**104** 09-16-2002, 03:50 PM

HC developing type II diabetes has little to do with eating meat
HC it is more a matter of being overweight, and having too many refined sugars in your diet
HC being vegetarian does not make you less likely to develop diabetes
HC only a healthy balanced diet does that- with or without meat

librasoul22 · #**105** 09-16-2002, 05:12 PM

HC, I am not a vegetarian?
HC people act like I am from outer space when I order meat?
HC fear not, I will not keel over and die before your eyes if I have a steak or pork chop at the restaurant?
HC vegetarianism (word?) is all the rage where I am?
HC, in a day and age when even going outside can cause cancer or something, I might as well enjoy a tasty side of bacon with them there eggs?
HC, lol, oh well?
HC, you do you and I'll do me?
HC my vegetarian friends, please stop trying to convert me!
HC I will not convert!
HC LOL?

HC Lovelyivy, if you have more info on how a diet with some meat in it is not THAT bad, please keep me informed?
HC, no offense to vegetarians, just had to vent!

HC I cancelled a class today?
HC that's right, I cancelled it!
HC what that means is, I tried forever and a day to find a parking space (does anyone else call it a "park"? i.e. "I need to find a park so I can hurry up and get to class"? Just curious)
HC there was NONE?
HC therefore I could not attend class?
HC I tell people that I cancelled my classes when I can't go?
HC I have too much time on my hands if I can justify that one?
