Foreclosure Crises!

I am a single homeowner and although I have fallen on hard times "extremely" I have been fortunate enough to still have my home. However, my heart goes out to those individuals who have been unfortunate enough to lose their homes. Sudden job loss, unplanned emergencies, medical illness, divorce, death and the list goes on are all things that can happen to make one face foreclosure.

The foreclosure crises will most likely only get worse before it gets better. If you "or someone you know" are facing foreclosure, call your lender to renegotiate the loan terms, or setup a payment plan. They should be willing to work with you. I am in the process of doing that right now and although I do not know the outcome, I am hoping and praying it will be a positive one.

This is my first home and I desperately want to keep it.

BENAZIR BHUTTO IS ASSASSINATED!!!!

This just in:

Benazir Bhutto, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan has been assassinated this morning. It is on all the major news programs.

Now you are problem wondering why do I care.

Well, I care because I just do. She was a woman in a male dominated part of the world. She was educated and aggressive. She was educated at Harvard University and went back to her Native Country because she wanted to make POSITIVE CHANGES. She wanted a democracy and she was killed by a suicide bomber who was against the progression of that country.

How sad. How so very sad.

Damn.... I need a Job!!!!!

Yes. I need a job. A damn good one.

I am educated. I've been to college. Yet I am having a hard time finding good employment. Why on earth is this? Memphis sucks.

No one wanted to pay me what I'm worth which is why I'm trying to start my own business. An internet business selling a service. Heck, I can do it. I'm a smart person.

I'm tired of working hard for folks. I'm ready to start working easy making some good money.

I have bills and there are also nice things I want to buy for myself like the big screen Plasma Screen, some really nice furniture for my home, a nicer car (heck my car is over 10 years old!) and I would like to take a vacation somewhere exotic. Like Africa.

Damn.... I have mold in my bathroom!!!!

Damn, I have mold in my bathroom. I just discovered it. There was this dark substance in my sink. I didn't think anything of it and I spraid it with disinfectant and removed it. (Honestly, since my cat spends the night in there I had thought it was dried cat poop).

Well, I just went in there again and lo and behold, it is back. And this time with a veangence It looks like a green, leafy substance and I again removed it and hopped on the internet where I soon discovered my worst fear. I have a mold problem.

I have only been in my home a little over a year and it is basically a fairly new home (as far as houses go). I mean, it was built in 1993.

Well, I read that you can fight it with bleach and water and that Home Depot and Lowes sell stronger mold removal chemicals. I will first see how the bleach and water works out. I also read to get some papertowels and dampen them with bleach and let it sit on the mold for around 30 minutes.

That is what I will do.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will work.

Ho Hum.....

Until I post again........

JACOBSON STAFFING RIP OFF REPORT!

My cousin was just offered a temporary position through Jacobson Staffing Company in Memphis, TN. The position pays only $9.00 an hour, yet my cousin has been advised that he will have to pay for both the drug test and the employee background check. However, they wanted him to start work immediately that day.

What a fucking ripoff!!!

I understand many temporary staffing companies do charge for the drug test, however, to charge him $20.00 for the drug test and another $25.00 for the employee background check is totally absurd. My cousin will have to work at least the first 5 hours for the company. FOR FREE. Can anybody say slavery??

This is exactly what I do not like about so many Memphis staffing companies. They take advantage of the slim job market and start creating ridiculous ways to get even more money from people who already don't make much. Jacobson Staffing should burn in hell for this transgression.

But sadly they are NOT alone in their misgivings.

Most people know this amount of charges is totally absurd, but when they need a job they agree to be used essentially.

What's going to become of America where more and more companies are taking advantage of those at the very bottom??

I say SHAME ON JACOBSON STAFFING COMPANY!!!

Goofy African Men and Why Women Love Them...

Well ladies,

I am sure we all have dated at least one goofy guy in our past. They are sweet, however, who really wants a man who trips over his own shoelases. Anyhow, I once dated this Ghanian man. He was 30 (Or so he said) and really sexy. His face wasn't all that however. The only thing about him I did not find very attractive was the fact that he was sooo goofy.

He was a thick dude. One that had a little bit of weight on him, you know the kind that women find sexy. He was ugly from a face point of view, but women really don't care about that now do they. We eventually broke up because he was so goofy.

I wanted to know if any other women had stories about their goofy relationships and if they would care to share.

To Women: Stop Sweet talking these Lazy Black Men!!!!!

And make them get a job.

I wish more women would believe in "tough love" with these lazy black men. Stop feeling sorry for them cause their daddy ran off. Start making them work when they get of age.

Don't let them just sit around your home all day at 15 when they should be in school somewhere. If you can teach your daughters to budget, pay bills and handle their business; teach your boys also.

See, what so many of us fail to realize is that these same "big babies" who we spoil will one day be "grown men" with no work ethic OR sense of responsibility. They won't be able to earn a living for themselves and will thus turn to drugs or living off mommy or girlfried or wife.

They will NOT become men. They will ONLY become sperm donors. Black men should be taught to be more than that.

STOP SWEET TALKING THESE BLACK MEN FORCING THEM TO BECOME LAZY!!!!
