"No petites please"

Millionare taking wife applications!!

Gold-diggerory has reached an all-time high. It use to be that the woman had to cleverly seduce an established and extremely financially secure gentleman enough to get him to add her name to some paperwork but now, the millionare moguls are wishing this upon themselves.

The only catch was that the women needed to be 5'6 and over.
Hmm. I'm still in the running. . .

"I scream, you scream"

Woman fined for EXTREMELY loud sex!

Overdoing it, for real.

I don't know that there's any kind of sex out there that will have you screaming out in other languages, tongues, and dialects and willing to pay close to $1,000 just to do so. Just for screaming though? Come on now.

SUNDERLAND , England, April 18 (UPI) — A 47-year-old Englishwoman has been convicted of flouting a city order to keep her love-making sessions quiet, officials said.

The Daily Telegraph reported Saturday that Caroline Cartwright, 47, was found guilty of breaching a noise abatement notice served on her after police received 25 complaints about her loud sessions with husband Steve.

She was fined more than $760, The Sun reported.

“I am not making the noise on purpose,” she told magistrates in Sunderland. “I have no desire to hurt anybody or damage any property.”

One neighbor reportedly said she had not gotten a decent night’s sleep for two years because of the Cartwrights. Another neighbor said she was forced to move out because of the noise, the Telegraph reported." [Source]

Disrespectful neighbors. I mean, it's fine if you wanna get yours in the comfort of your own home but when it's seriously interfering with numerous people's sleep patterns perhaps it's time to tone it down. I'm not hating, I'm just saying.

& don't worry, the lady insists it was worth the money.

"What a nice surprise"

Mich. man helps deliver wife's surprise baby !!

So, I don't believe it.

A western Michigan man helped deliver his wife's baby boy despite not knowing she was pregnant. The Grand Rapids Press reported the man called 911 early Thursday as his wife was in labor. The man told the dispatcher that he had not known his 27-year-old wife was pregnant. He said they recently quit smoking and thought her recent weight gain was related.

The couple has two children, and the mother has an additional child from a previous relationship.

Following the successful delivery, the dispatcher talked the man through post-birth procedures. The child was taken to a local hospital." [Source]

So you thought the major weight gain was because she quit smoking? I mean, I guess. I know there are different reasons to not realize you're pregnant for a while but not finding out until the kids' already halfway out? That's just downright negligent on her part.



It could happen to anyone, right? Props to him for delivering the baby boy instead of just remaining in a state of shock about the pregnancy like I probably would have.

"Backlash for spreading seeds"

Man jailed for dodging child support for 14 kids

Authorities in Michigan say a man fathered 14 children with 13 different women and owes more than $530,000 in unpaid child support.

The Flint Journal reports 42-year-old Thomas Frazier was jailed Thursday. Court records say he hasn't made a support payment in six years.

The newspaper says the unemployed man could be held for 90 days if he doesn't pay $27,900.
Frazier says he thinks he fathered only three of the children and that it's unrealistic for authorities to expect him to pay child support that was $3,000 a month at one point." [Source- AP News]

Ugh.

I have no words. Just take him off to jail. You have 13 women claiming you're the father of their 14 children and you're not a celebrity or anything? It's not like you're loaded. . .you know you're the baby daddy. At this point (now that six years have passed) I think these women are secure with the fact that money from this man is just not an option, and his punishment should be jail time.

And a MAJOR deduction from any check he earns from now until the cows come home.

"If you blinked, you missed it."

Is love at first sight real?

Everyone has their own thoughts about that and I for one think that lust at first sight is the only think you can count on. Pure, unadulterated physical attraction -- you can get that from looking at someone one time, but not love. Ideally it would be lovely, but not in this world.


Love's such a strong emotion - like hate. Do you hate at first sight? Of course not. You might be turned off by someone initially, but you wouldn't conclude that you hated them until much later. After an experience, a bad memory - something. But that's just what I think. Some geneticists (because I love having scientific back up) have looked into the idea of "love at first sight". . .

According to a study published in the April 2009 issue of the journal Genetics, a team of scientists from the United States and Australia discovered that at the genetic level, some males and females are more compatible than others, and that this compatibility plays an important role in mate selection, mating outcomes, and future reproductive behaviors. " [Source]

The article concluded (after examining the behaviors of fruit flies toward their mating partners) that the female flies in particular cared about the character of their counterpart. In other words, they were attracted to them at first sight and strong feelings were involved that quickly. Hmm. . .it would be the females who would screw up my hypothesis. Read more here.

"More to love"

New Dating Reality Show Looking to Cats Overweight Contestants!!

Average Joes and Janes will get to pursue their shot at love with the launch of the new dating-competition series developed by FOX called “More to Love.”

The show has been billed as a dating show “for the rest of us,” and will feature overweight contestants.

FOX will be teaming up with producer Mike Fleiss (known for his work on "The Bachelor"). The show will feature a group of women competing for the love of one man, whom producers describe as a Kevin James-type (James was the star of “The King of Queens.”)

"For six years it's been skinny-minis and good-looking bachelors, and that's not what the dating world looks like," Fox president of alternative Mike Darnell said. "Why don't real women — the women who watch these shows, for the most part — have a chance to find love too?" [Source- Fox]

Um, I don't like how they're insinuating that the rest of us - the ones who happen to find their guilty pleasure is reality TV - are overweight and even want to partake in the f*ckery. However, I'm sure they'll find people who want their shine and will end up on the show and then milk it for all it was worth just to end up on another.

A reality dating show for real people this time. Imagine that. And it's true that the people featured on reality shows are nothing like what the dating world is. Reality TV can never hope to really be realistic if someone's heart is involved.

"Obamas Philosophy on love"

Five Lessons we can learn from the Obamas

I'm all for entertaining news that allows us to sit back and be glad that we're not the ones featured on this blog, but every once and a while I like to throw in some optimism. I also have an unhealthy infatuation with the Obamas and thriving black love. So, for your reading enjoyment here's some dope philosophizing inspired by the one, the only. . .our President of the United States and his lady: Barack & Michelle Obama.

If I believe there's anyone out there who really is engaged in a healthy relationship while still being in the public eye, it's them. The Today show on MSNBC.com has a sex therapist who compiled a list that caught my eye and really made me sit back and admire them. I know we may not know a whole lot about their sex life/relationship, but there are some things you just can't fake when you've got America as a whole watching your every move.

Maintain a sense of surprise- “Sometimes, when we’re lying together, I look at her and I feel dizzy with the realization that here is another distinct person from me, who has memories, origins, thoughts, feelings that are different from my own. . .," says Obama, "Even if one builds a life together based on trust, attentiveness and mutual support, I think that’s it’s important that a partner continues to surprise the other." I think that's ridiculously adorable on so many levels and very true.

Show tenderness- Obama also spoke about how Michelle exhibits a certain level of vulnerability (Imagine that!). I never took Michelle for the vulnerable type, but I also don't think she wears the pants in the relationship. Not all the time, anyway.

Some other ones mentioned were opposites attracting, becoming friends and staying friends, and then my personal favorite: Being a relationship role model.

I honestly don't think they even realize how great of an example they're setting as a couple, color aside, by simply being themselves with each other at all times. They maintain eye contact with one another in interviews, joke like America's not watching, and their whole chemistry just flows naturally - whether the cameras are on or not. Check out videos/pictures where they were not prepped for the paparazzi to see what I mean.

"Do-it-your-self Insemination"

Lesbian threatens to inseminate wife with brother’s sperm; faces charges

"An alleged Massachusetts lesbian has been charged with domestic assault and battery after she tried to artificially inseminate her wife with her brother’s semen.

Artificial insemination - Do not try this at home
Stephanie Lighten was “all liquored up” Tuesday, her wife, Jennifer Lighten, told Pittsfield police. Stephanie had been talking about trying to impregnate her for some time, she said.

When Stephanie came home around 4:30 p.m., she threw Jennifer on the couch and threatened to inseminate her with a large catheter-tipped syringe, according to the Berkshire Eagle.

A witness called police who arrested Stephanie at the scene. They retrieved the syringe in its original package and a container of semen. It was unclear how Stephanie obtained the semen from her brother. "[Source]

Obviously not one of their best ideas. I feel like she could have saved herself so much embarressment (whoever Stephanie Lighten is) by doing this the old-fashioned way. And no, I don't mean by actually finding a man to physically impregnant her wife. . .just by looking for a sperm donor.

Then again, with this recession I can't imagine paying for some extra test-tube-safe jizz being cheap, so doing if you feel like you can do it yourself - more power to ya.

"Oh, the irony"

Florida Man Wearing 'I Heart My Marriage' Shirt Arrested for Allegedly Choking Wife

Shirts are so misleading.

Bradley Gellert, 32, an Ameriprise financial consultant, was wearing a T-shirt bearing the phrase "I Heart My Marriage" when he was arrested on a charge of domestic battery by strangulation, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office." [Source- Foxified]

Gellert apparently threw a temper tantrum for reasons undisclosed before he tried to attack his wife. She's not dead, just really confused.

I have a shirt that I got last year saying "I love my boyfriend" around V-day, but since we broke up I wear it to clean/go to the gym. I clearly no longer love my boyfriend - but I do love the way that 100% cotton T-shirt feels. He might have been attached in the same kind of way. No?

"One plus to texting"

When Texting, Eligible Women Express Themselves Better

Believe it or not, the ridick news has slowed down for today, but I did find this interesting article on ScienceDaily about texting. I know I said texting would lead to nothing but trouble but that was moreso for the youth of America - now I'm talking to you singles and couples out there.

Indiana researchers have found that when men and women text message each other in a public, interactive dating market, it is the women who use more non-standard, expressive language techniques. . .

The study found women used more non-standard language such as abbreviations or expressive insertions that represented characteristics including enthusiasm, sadness, emphasis and individuality. And while women were both more economical and expressive, they also came closer to maxing out, or did max out, on the 160-character message limit more often than their male counterparts." [Source - Science Daily]

This is something that comes as no surprise to me. From personally texting I'll admit that it doesn't matter to me what the limit is - I need to fully express myself. Abbreviations and symbols do help but at the end of the day keeping it concise doesn't really matter to me.

"He wanted the ring, she wanted revenge"

Girl clocks ex boyfriend in the face when he asks for his ring!!

*Kill Bill music plays*

I hope it was a nice ring. . .

PORTSMOUTH — When Britta Osberg’s ex-boyfriend asked her to return a ring, she punched him in the face twice, leaving the ring’s imprint on his cheek, police allege.

Based on those allegations, Osberg, 19, of 110 Perkins Road, Rye, is scheduled to be arraigned in Portsmouth District Court Monday on two class A misdemeanor counts of simple assault.

According to an affidavit by Officer Eric Kinsman, the alleged victim told police he went to a city gas station to retrieve the ring from Osberg, she refused to return it and they began to argue. During the argument, Osberg is alleged to have twice punched her ex in the face." [Source - Seacoast Online]

It always saddens me to see misunderstood women get arrested for assault charges. I don't know who started the argument, but Britta sure finished it. Now her ex is walkin' around with a nice little reminder of what once was - concaved face and all.

"Royals need love too"

Prince Charles' love letters on sale on eBay!!


A set of six love letters from Prince Charles has been put up for sale on eBay. To be clear: these aren't letters to either Camilla or Di, so who the heck are these love letters to?

While not named in the eBay auction itself, according to a report, the letters were written from Prince Charles to Montreal resident Janet Jenkins between 1976 and 1980.The letters have a starting bid of $30,000 and a Buy It Now price of $30,001. So far no takers."

I'm not surprised that there are no takers. According to this blog the starting bid is about $30,000. Who the heck has money like that to just be throwing away on some freakin' love letter? And who is Prince Charles, anyway??

. . .Okay, I take that last part back. I know who Prince Charles is, but these love letters still aren't worth my school's tuition.

The woman who actually gave up the love letters is 'embarressed', but I think she's just sour about not thinking of this get rich quick scheme herself.

"Doggie Delights"

That title is so inappropriate for this post, yet so true.

Jealous wife cuts if off -- and feeds it to the dogs!!

Raging Kailasben Vyshali, from Mehsana, India, drugged her man with sleeping pills, served in a cup of tea, after he came home from seeing his mistress.

Then while he slept she chopped off his penis with a razor sharp blade and threw it into the street where it was snapped up by a pack of stray dogs.

“The hospital managed to save his life but the rest of him was never found. He’s certainly never going to cheat again,” said one doctor." [Source- OHN]

She REALLY went in! Why is the ultimate resolution to dealing with a cheating husband always, ALWAYS to go after his member in some flagrant way? My solution would be more along the lines of white collar crime. Ie: attacking his bank account like a leech sucking all of his finances dry.

Then again, if he's not working with much (in his account, I mean) and your emotions are all out of wack, I guess sleeping pills and razor blades can do the trick too.

Woman swallows engangement ring when boyfriend hides it in a MILKSHAKE --- Ouch!!

I don't think that was a wise decision at ALL on his part.

Why not hide it in a cupcake or something? Everyone loves cupcakes. I probably would have done the same thing and just downed the milkshake. Ring and allllll.

"The things they lost in the fire. . "

With common sense, being one of them.

I'm sorry - I just HAD to! Sue me. I try to stay out of celebrity misfortune and just focus on plain ol' regular Joes like you and me having terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad days but if in fact People have their facts right. . *sigh* Rih-Rih might need another slap or two.

Actually, this time why doesn't someone just talk to her? Sit her down and explain to her that perhaps re-entering an abusive relationship isn't the best idea. Ecspecially after three weeks of counseling from media websites. I'm just sayin'.

Then again, people have gotten together again during worst situations, huh? Still it's hard to forget. . .

"Just don't online date"

Just don't do it. You've been warned.

A handful of women are romanced out of almost $300,000 in a Nigerian romance hoax

For one woman, the online dating scheme started when the unidentified middle-aged divorcee received text messages last year from a man about 10 years younger than her.

"They said, 'You know, you're a very pretty lady, I like your profile,'" the victim told the Edmonton Sun. "You feel very flattered."

After several more e-mails, instant messages and phone calls, the man promised to come to Canada and marry her.

Then came the requests for money, including one that claimed the man's son was hospitalized and needed three surgeries, the Sun reported. The scheme continued for about five months.

"I had so many friends tell me, 'Don't send money,'" she said. "But you love that person, you believe what they say. You don't want to stop." [Source]

The chances of them finding the band of thieves are slim to none, not to mention that money which is also probably long gone. It's sad, man. It really is. Middle-aged women are the easiest targets.

But ummmm - he said he was coming to Canada to marry you? And you never met? But you've been married before, are accustomed to the usual wedding experience, and still didn't see this hot mess coming? What up with that?

"Why you shouldn't care if he doesn't care"

5 Reasons to skip 'He's just not that into you'

We are all clingy, insane, insecure, naive, trusting idiots, who drive away our boyfriends and potential bfs by being like that. I don’t know about you, but movies that continuously reiterate that I’m completely psycho and clingy tend to turn me off at about the 60 minute mark." [Source - College News]

Ooh, it hurts - doesn't it?

I haven't had the chance to see this movie and I'm really not looking forward to the prospect. My friend suggested we go for [as you can expect] "a girl's night out." Since we're both super singles I'm not seeing the fun in being reminded why, as my great aunt would say: "we can't keep a man."

I do think it's cute, though. The premise. And from the way that chick is ranting - somewhat true. However, there's nothing even remotely appealing about being reminded why you're insecure and then being mocked for being insecure. In what realm of crazy is that okay?

Then again the single ladies might enjoy it more than any girl who's in a commited relationship. Your mind will be insidiously flooded with doubts about your man and what you think you have. Those who celebrated V-Day solo can actually take a sigh of relief because there's nothing to wonder about if it's not there to begin with.

"Boyfriend woes"

Msnbc.com has a video about some boyfriend/horror stories you might want to check out. I've noticed lately that my news has been spotlighting a lot of psychotic females, so I thought this would be a nice change. Guys mess up, too.

Often, in fact. Hehe =]

"V-Day misunderstanding"

Valentine lover recreates rose petal scene from American Beauty.






Lesley Heague booked a hotel's penthouse suite and covered the bed in red rose petals to act out the provocative sequence from the 1999 blockbuster.

The blonde 25-year-old even hired a photographer to capture her version of the scene, made famous by actress Mena Suvari, for a personalised card.

[Source]

This would have been a really sweet gesture. . imagine that? Buying thousands of rose petals to recreate your boyfriend's favorite movie, booking a suite, hiring a photographer, getting little greeting cards made - the works! Then you find out that what you thought was American Beauty should have really been American Gangster. Smack yourself. Twice for emphasis.

I think what she tried to do would have been extra perfect if it were for the correct movie [obviously]. I just don't think there's a scene in American Gangster that would have been appropriate for a Valentine's Day movie-themed weekend. . .was there?

& I bet the guy wasn't even grateful that she had at least made the effort. Hmph. I'm not bitter, I'm just sayin'.

"For future reference"

Whether it be about college life and tips for how to survive dorming, issues that young minorities like myself may face, relationships, current events, etc. etc. It's a wide sphere of topics but they all connect. Somehow.'
