So I looked up at the window …………..why it was a Bee??????? You know I was hollering right???! So I let him stay there, but I was watching his butt still ironing. But why the dogone Bee go leave the window and try to come ova there by me? So you know I was about to hit it up the stairs? K, why I looked over there against the wall and remembered I had some bug spray. So, I went got it, turned the pump on, tipped over by the window where the Bee was and started spraying his butt!!!!!! I got that nicka drunk on bug spray. Do you know this fool was still moving in the bug juice, drunk as I don’t know what.
 
My eyes were this big 00.  My mind started playing tricks on me.

????????

Hey yahoo Family,

What advice do you have for a 38 year old God fearing Christian woman as myself, who does not have a special someone? I met this guy yesterday he\’s nice looking too, own his own business. But there is one problem. he\’s shorter than me, and he\’s about 100 years old.

Why does it seem as if Im running into men that I am not attracted too? And the ones I do like, they are like octopuses, and wont keep their hands off me.

What advice would you have for me?

Sign,
Where is my husband?

“I’m jus sayin”

“I’m jus sayin”

 
Ok yall know what? Every week Im going to do a blog under this name. Cause see my brain is leaking and I need somewhere to put all these thoughts. lol Im going to be spitting out thoughts, so be prepared for a ride inside my head. Ready?
 
Ok, I dont understand how “white people” ( no offense to any one reading…..Im jus sayin) but why do we black people have to learn to speak properrrrrrr English? See most black people grow up using words like, yall, dey, fo I can, whycome, etc. But white people come out of the womb using properrrrr (talking like Madea) language. Why the heck we gotta learn properrrrr English? And who said our language is not the correct way to speak? Why we gotta take english classes in order to speak well? Please somebody tell Lacrease why do white people come out speaking the “correct way,” and we don’t. I need phone numbers to the person/people who said this. I have black friends who speak the “correct way” but they azz sound white to me. I mean can we talk proper english without sounding white? And what does that mean? It means that we have to learn to speak like them. Then they call our talking “ebonics”. I jus dont understand that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m jus saying!
 
Why this gurl came through my line yesterday,
(she was blk) and call herself telling me that earlier when she was shopping, she got in line that was 12 items or less, but she had more. And my coworker Taneika told her look, you have more than 12 items, I’ll take you this time, but this is for 12 items or less next time.
 
So I ask the lady so why you get mad? She said because wasn’t nobody behind me!!!!!!!! Yall know I wanted to go off on her right? See Im not fake Im not bout to sit up here and let you think that you are right………when you are wrong. She went on to say see I work for customer service and I know how you supposed to treat the customers. I said well maam the sign did say 12 items or less, then she gon say. Well her job was to please the customer, and plus wasn’t nobody behind her. I said maam you  missing the point. She said andddddd she had a nasty attitude. I said Taneika?????? I said she is one of the sweetest cashiers in the building, then she gon say, well she must be having a bad today. I wanted to say so bad get yo butt outta my line  . I wouldnt have waited on you either!!!!!!!……….. I’m jus sayin!
 
So I said, are you mad cause she told you it was 12 items or less, or because she had a bad day? She was like ahmmmmmmmmmm both. ( dum) rolling my eyes!
 
I told her, I am a person big on rules. I said maam can I talk to you for a min she was like yeah yeahhhh. I said if you went over to your gurls house and she have a sign in her house that says no smoking……….and you wanted to light a cigarette this small ( I showed her in length)  would you light it up anyway? She was like yeahhhh cause I feel if she’s my gurl then she should understand.  I looked at her, and said to myself………ok Lacrease wrap this up…………….cause this heffa dont even get it.
 
 I said but the sign says no smoking! I said see its not about “she’s your friend”. Its about no smoking! ( I wanted to say so bad) You so busy thinking about you, you, you, till you dont think further to say well maybe her kids has asthma, or maybe her husband cant stand the smell.  Maybe she dont want it in her carpet. Everybody aint got to tell you why they made their decision! They dont have to put a sign up that says no ” ” and then an explanation after it. Those kinda people are thinking about themselves.
 
She wanted to still validate WHY she was right about being in the wrong dang on line. I  wanted to ask her dum butt so bad but customers were there, If you are at a red light, and you want to turn right, but the sign say NO RED TURN, would you turn anyway just because aint no cars coming? You cannot do what the heck you want to do in this world………….cause dey yo friend, cause aint no cars coming, cause aint nobody behind you( in line) (sitting at a red light), cause I aint got no food ( on stealing), cause Im sleepy ( on sleeping on the job). It’s up to the person in charge to make that decision!!! Its up to her friend to say ok gurl yeah you can smoke, or to the cops yeah you can dis regard this no turn on red sign, or to the person your stealing from, yeah you can steal. ITS NOT UP TO YOU TO DECIDE WHEN YOU CAN BREAK THE RULES. Then the first thing we holla…………..why God lets this happen to me? Why my family wont get me out of jail? Why the police write me a $100.00 ticket? Why I got fired from my job, I told them I was sleepy. Its about time we stop finger pointing and be Held Accountable for Our Own Actions!
 
Now everybody say: Its about time for me to be held accountable for my own actions!
 
I dont go for that the people are always right. Cause I aint go lie, sometimes I go into a store fowl as I don’t know what. Knowing my attitude aint right. When Judgment Day come aint go be no, Lisa did this, and see what had happened was. John came over and he got us something to drink, and after that Coco came over and then Lady J made the phone call, and then Blk mirror mirror killed her. Aint go be none of that. Aint go be no preludes……….its just gon be you answering to your part of what you did!
 
  • Admit you did it
  • Take your punishment
  • Forgive yourself and others involved
  • And make sure you learned a lesson
  • Move the heck on!
I’m jus sayin……………

“Submitting to Authority”

“Submitting to Authority”
 
There was a time in my life where I had a problem with authority. To me, people who were in charge thought they were that deal. I looked at them as people who wanted to point their fingers and the job was done…………….but not by their hands. But ………by mines.
 
Everybody wants to be a “plant manager.” I wasn’t a jump, jump, jump to it (Aretha Franklin’s song) kinda person. I was a why I gotta do that? Why you can’t do it? Kinda person.
 
Today, I Thank God that he is working on me in that area, to where I am a person who don’t ask why, I just do.
 
 The bible talks about people in authority. Hebrews 13 (New International Version) 17Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you.
 
People; Man and Police Badge - Pictures, Photos, Photographs
 
Lets dissect this scripture. It says obey your leaders and submit to their authority. Everyone has to answer to someone. If you have children they have to submit to you. If you have a job, you have to submit to your manager. If you are watching someone’s children they have to submit to you. If your neighbor ask you to watch their dog while they are away, That dog has to submit to you! Everyone has authority over something. When the mother, the dog owner, your manager comes to you, you have to give an account of how things were ran when that person was gone. What ever questions they need to know, you need to be able to answer them.
 
And thats just how it’s going to be on Judgement Day.
 
How can I get up, go to work everyday, and not be able to submit to authority? But at the same time, be the first to smack the heartbeat out my daughter’s chest if I tell her to do something and she asks me why she’s gotta do it. You see how this works? One respect deserves another!
 
I am not going to allow my child to ask me why she gotta do this and that…………..so in the same breathe I wont ask my manger why she chose me to do something. I ‘ll just do it!
 
Its not about negotiating, its about hearing a command from your manager and executing it.
 
Think about this: If we don’t learn now to listen to authority from the people that we see everyday, and live with. Why would God be any different whom we don’t see?
 
Let me ask you this: Do you grip and ask why I gotta do it, to your supervisor? If so, did you learn anything just now? Are you willing to change?
 
 
 
From this day on, I will try my best to live my life in a way pleasing to God. Because I want my name in the Book of Life~~ Lacrease

A young gurl

Stock Photo Of Two People Fighting - Conflict - Violence
 

Today this young gurl  (18) came through my line. She was buying clothes and pampers for her only child. She didn’t have enough to buy him socks. When all of a sudden she started telling me that her child’s daddy had jumped on her last night…….at the “hang out spot”( crack house). She had scratches all over her face and neck.
 
That hurted me to my heart.
 
As a mother of a soon to be 20 year old daughter, to hear that this young gurl was being beaten made me upset. I told her, “I said boo, God didn’t put you down here to be beaten on.” That’s not what you are here on this earth for. I wanted to tell her so much more. When she left I was sick that I didn’t give her my phone number. I wasn’t thinking at all.
 
We as parents must train up our daughters that its not okay to get beat by a man. Its not acceptable!! Growing up we got whooping, who wants to get whoopings while they are grown? Not me! I got enough coming up. In fact, I remember saying “I can’t wait to get grown, so I wont get any more whooping!
 
 Many times young gurls find themselves in situations (especially if they have a child by the man), where they are depended on him. They have somehow lost their own way. When a man can look around and see that
 
  •  she don’t have a strong family tie
  • don’t have dependable friends
  • have a low self esteem
  • very needy
  • she doesn’t have a vision or goal for her own life
Its easy to get caught up in the life of his, where it consist of control, anger, beatings and sometimes death. We as parents, women and men we must talk to our kids, nieces, nephews!!!!!!! Im willing to put up everything for this fight. She needs to know that God made her. He is the ruler of her body and her mind. She doesn’t have to put up with anything that doesn’t make her happy. God put us here for his purpose. Keyword: His Purpose!
 
When your self-esteem is low you will put up with a lot of things, things you look back on later and say dangggggggg “No I didn’t let that fool do that to me.” WE dont know any better. That’s why its important to set standards of what we would accept and wont except. And live by them.
 
To my yahoo sisters and brothers. I beg you tonight. Please adopt a teen. Find a teen in your area, at your school, in your neighborhood, at your job and adopt them as your own. Spend time with them, talk to them, invite them to outings, give them hope, pray for them, be that light in their lives. Even if its your nieces, nephews and their friends, please try to spend time with them. And talk to them till your blue in the face.
 
How I know so much? Because this same gurl was me when I was 18
 
God Bless

What would you do?


Photo of - The Passing Of Money - Win - Losses - Currency
 
 
Ok yall this is going to be real quick. I need to know what you would have done in this situation. Be honest okay? Real real real honest. I need you to look at this situation as the person you are today………..right now. Okay?
 
First let me tell you about the people in this story. my CO WORKER is a sweet person, she has some kids and a man.
 
A few times she has came to me and said Lacrease do you have $20.00 to borrow until such and such. And I have loaned her the money several times. As a matter of fact she asked at the right time. Because I was getting child support checks weekly and working checks so I was straight Okay? So…………………………………….
 
Whenever she got paid she alwaysssssssssssssssssss paid my money back the same day, I didn’t have to ask her for it, nor did I have to throw out hints. She alwayssssssss pay people back.
 
So last week (not even a week ago) it was me her, and our other coworker standing around because we didn’t have any customers, and she was about to buy something with her bridge card (food stamps) and I was like ooooo yeah ? buy me this with your card it was a bottle of water and a slim Jim. So she was like all I got is enough for my kids, and NOBODY I MEAN NOBODY COMES BEFORE THEM! So I looked. and I was like danggggggggg ? where that come from? And she was like I didn’t mean it like that, Im just saying I have to buy some food with this and it aint enough. So me being the person I am, Im like okayyyyyy I aint mad cause you aint gonna buy it for me, because I have some money. She still my gurl. I know that she is going through some things, and I can tell that she KNOWS that she shouldn’t have said that, I can tell that if she could take it back she would.
 
But ? was like dang ? you just could have said Lacrease I have just enough for my kids, you didn’t have to say all that other stuff. ?was really mad at her for saying that to me. The more ? kept talking about it, I think that my feelings was hurt a little bit. Because I started thnking about all the times I was there for her. And the thing about it is. ? dont know that when ? needs money she comes to me. Had ? known that she would have really been able to argue that case. I looked over at ? and I can tell that what ? was saying she was feeling. Then I said, thats okay ? when you sell stuff Im always supporting you. So she went to her register looking down.
 
Later on that day I knew that she was feeling funny. So I went up to her and started talking to her, and she said you aint mad at me? And Im like gurllllllllllllllll naw. I aint thought about that stuff. So the next day I hugged her as usual when I got to work. And that was that.
 
Now read this real close because I need your true thoughts on this.
 
Today I got to work and was standing at the podium to check in, when ? another coworker came up to me and hugged me, then she said I want to ask you something. So im like okay gurl what???? She said someone wants to know if you had $10.00 to borrow? So Im like whooooooo ?. She said they didn’t want to ask, so Im asking for them. I made her tell me who it was. It was ?! I said nope I dont have any money on me. She said okay and left.
 
Now I didn’t have $10.00 on me AT ALL. I really didn’t. But I keep asking myself if I did have the $10.00 would I give it to her.
 
So let me ask you this: If you were Lacrease and you had the $10.00 would you give it to her to borrow BASED ON THIS STORY???
 
Be honest.
 
Waiting…………….Lacrease

Forgiveness! ( Lacrease and Valerie)

 
 Me and my bestfriend Gloria, we would sit up and exchange exboyfriend stories about how we were treated by our kids dad and the things we did to get back at them. I would tell the story of my friend  Val who betrayed me and started creeping with my boyfriend who is the father of my now19 year old daughter. Me and Val lived in a 2 family flat she was downstairs and I was up.
 
It was her own sisters who confirmed to me what she was doing behind my back. So when they both confessed, I did things to get back at her, and once that blew over, I needed answers.  Still I was bitter and mad for the betrayal.I dissed him for good as far as me and him. Me and her talked, but I didn\’t trust her, she didn\’t trust me, and I found myself talking about it to family and friends daily. It took over my conversations, my mind, my everyday living, I was devasted. So when she knocked on my door and told me that she was moving to Florida, I was SO HAPPY. I didn\’t have to see her face anymore, didn\’t have to wonder if they were still sneaking around, didn\’t have to be fake anymore. I was very happy.
 
God spoke to me saying you haven\’t forgiven her. I was like yes God I have, I have forgiven her. She\’s gone now, so what does it matter? 

Once she got to Florida, she would call and I would act funny, I heard stories of her being beaten by her boyfriend who she left with, ( yes he knew about what had happened) but was feeling like…………oh well what goes around comes around.

 
 But One day I will never forget. After almost 2 years of her being gone, she called me and gave me the shock of my life. She said I talked to the landlord and he told me that the downstairs was vacant, and that she was coming back to live in the SAME HOUSE.
 
I thought I was going to pass out!!!!!
 
 After I got off the phone. I said God how could you let her come back and move in the same house? You know what we\’ve been thru. How could you do this to me? Why this same house God? Why? He said because you haven\’t forgiven her, and you need to before you can move on.  I had never in my life had to deal with forgiveness. I felt if you don\’t deal with them, or don\’t see them again, that it would eventually go away.
 
Before she came back, I had gotten real, real close to God, started dealing with my daughters father on a parent level,  I really thought that I was moving on. When she came back, everything came back to me. I remember God saying to me so clear…….. Lacrease you haven\’t forgiven her! I went back and forth with God, because I felt that since I didn\’t have to see her, that I was over the pain, But ahhhhhhhhhhhh when she came back on the scene, all what I thought was over, wasn\’t. I was angry with God. I felt that he could have moved her on another block, or on the West side somewhere!! Instead he had another plan for me, and that is when I learned Forgiveness!

 

Im sooooooooooo happy for that experiences. I Thank God all the time for being by my side during those hard times. I was young, I had never experienced any pain so deep. But I got through it. Believe it or not me and VAL are better friends today then we were before it happened.

 

So when Tyler Perry  said that you have to forgive, Lord knows he said a mouthful. Cause had God not moved her back in that flat apartment with me. I would still be hating her. Still thinking about that mess, still mad and mean. Still wanting revenge, wondering and hoping she is somewhere hurting. But today………….. Please I wish Lacrease would be still walking around with all that mess build up inside me. Nope cant do it. Um ummmm

Have you ever?

 
      
When I first started working for Walmart there was this CSM (Customer Service Manager) name LaShandra. I hated her. Yes, hated her. In my eyes she was loud, and had favorites. I felt that she her number one gurls who she liked, and the rest she would ignore or just not talk to you that much. It was something about her that could make the atmosphere where you could easily feel left out when you are around her. Many times I felt like that.
 
 Maybe it was my past haunting me of how I use to be. Me and my best friend would be bossy at work, we had favorites and if you wasn\’t feeling us, then we wasn\’t feeling you. We could be talking with a few people, and if someone walked up or happen to be around, it was something about us that can make the atmosphere messed up. We could make you feel so uncomfortable that it didn\’t make sense. We didn\’t even have to be talking about you, but our conversations was so bold, so \”out there\” and so intimidating that you can\’t help but feel funny. And we knew it. People told us all the time you and Gloria are out cold! Yall don\’t like nobody , yall funny acting. We didn\’t care.  See yaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was Our Motto.
  
Lashondra was just like meeeeeee back in the day. I knew it too. But since I wasnt like that any more, I wasn\’t gonna dare be treated like that. She had me messed up…………….for real doe. Ever time I thought about it I would tell God that I hated her. Yes, that is my testimony. I hated her and I told God. I would call Gloria every day and tell her how much I hated Lashandra. She would laugh cause she knew I liked everybody. She told me though and I will never forget. She said once you get to know her she is so cool. I didn\’t want to hear that, I felt that  she should have been cool right off rip, if she was so cool   But instead she annoyed and irrated me.
 
 
One day I came to work and instead of me acting funky right off rip with her, I decided to just listen to some of the things she say. I didn\’t have a comment about nothing, I just wanted to listen to how she talks to people, how she communicates to us (cashiers), how she handles authority. For a few days I watched her closely. And I begin to ask myself what is it about her that you dont like? After laughing at some of the things she says, and some of the facial expression she makes. I thought maybe it was me who had the problem!!!! Just maybe I don\’t understand her.
 
Time went on and Lashonda became my gurl! I realized that she is a great Leader, she listens to authority, she dont take side, she dont care if you are her friend or not, wrong is wrong. She comes to work everyday, she gets things started. She wont debate or argu with you, she\’ll say her peace and then its a wrap. She is a motivator, a person who wants to win.

I had to go to God and ask for forgiveness. I told him that I hated his child. Thats how much I didn\’t like her.  I know…….that\’s terrible. Me and her laugh about it all the time, and it just shows me that when I was being honest about my feelings, God let me see A. how much I really disliked her. B. that he could begin to work on this situation. And he did.
 
Today I loveeeeeeeeeeeeee me some Lashondra. She is my gurl! How can I say something so mean about someone I didn\’t know? Did my past catch up with me? I wasn\’t always this way you know? We went to see Madea Goes To Jail last year together, we went to birthday parties, and baby showers, go to dinner. And you know the fun part? All of us coworkers go places together. We dont fight, argue, we get along so well.
 
So my question to you is: Have there ever been someone who you didn\’t like, and now you are good friends ? Share your story.
