"Abused and Misused"

Man beats his cousin in the head with a VCR because she refused sex!!

But with a VCR though?

DAYTON - A 51-year-old woman’s condition has been upgraded to stable after she beaten in the head with a VCR by a cousin Saturday, Feb. 28, days after the suspect was released from prison.

Police said the woman was beaten by Percy S. Cochran, 28 and a convicted felon, at about 2 a.m. on Saturday before Cochran broke into the homes of two other relatives.

Investigators said Cochran intended to have sex with his cousin, but when she refused, he choked her and then beat her with the VCR. The woman, whose name has not been released, suffered severe brain injuries but was talking, according to police." [Source- OHN]

That Cochran character has officially earned himself a one-way-ticket to ruthless jail treatment city. If that's a place, that is. Beating aged women with dead technology, breaking into homes, attempting forced incest, repeat offending. You must not like your life.

"Lovers may come and go but Herpes is forever"

Woman Unknowingly Infected With Herpes Awarded Nearly $7 Million!

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — A lawyer said a Riverside County jury has awarded nearly $7 million to a 56-year-old woman who was unknowingly infected with herpes by a 77-year-old man.

Attorney Shaun Murphy, who represented the plaintiff, said the defendant knew he had genital herpes for more than 25 years but did not disclose it before his sexual relationship with the woman and did not use a condom." [Source - Fox News]

Absurdity.

I had no idea that you could sue someone for leaving out the fact that they have an incurable disease and get seven million for it. But honestly, that's the least she could have gotten out of the deal. Even at 56-years-old you should be able to play with other elders and not have to worry that after 77 years guys still haven't matured enough to tell you if they have an STD. I'm just sayin'.

Oh well, she's 7 million bucks richer. Cha-ching. All's well that ends well I guess.

"Another teacher behind bars"

Teacher Jailed, Accused of Sex With Student

GREENWOOD, S.C. — An Upstate middle school teacher remained jailed Monday after being charged with having sex with a student.

Angel Simmons Lindle, 37, was arrested Friday and charged with criminal sexual conduct with a minor.At a hearing Saturday morning, her bond was set at $126,000.

Lindle has been suspended from her job as a seventh-grade teacher at Edgewood Middle School in Greenwood County. She had been on medical leave since September.

According to warrants, Lindle admitted to having a sexual relationship with the student, a a 15-year-old boy.Police said the encounters happened numerous times in Greenwood and McCormick counties from August 2008 until last week, at motels, at Lindle’s home, and in parked vehicles.Investigators said they were alerted when someone called authorities to complain about the relationship."

I can't help but think that this would be a much bigger outrage if the 15-year-old boy was a 15-year-old girl. Granted, statutory rape any way you look at it is wrong - but I feel like more people would be attacking this woman's name if the sexes were reversed. Someone mentioned this at OHN and there might be some truth to that.

"The benefits of friends"

I’ve never really understood the concept of friends with benefits. I really in my heart don’t think there’s a way for it to work out beneficial for both people. Just knowing females and the way they think/operate [because I am one] means those “benefits” are going to lead to complications. However, if you’re absolutely sure it’s something you’re willing to give a shot because. . .I don’t know, maybe you’re just in need of action or you’re attracted to the person minus all their personality flaws, I think that these rules should apply:

1.) Be unattached. As in, BOTH of you. If someone’s in a relationship, toying with the idea of a relationship or any of the like then clearly that someone is cheating or a potential cheater. Let’s be grown up about this. No we’re not “friends who mess around.” That’s malarkey.

2.) Set the rules up beautifully from the beginning. The relationship is strictly for hook-up purposes only. This is where ish starts getting complicated because I kind of don’t know of a successful friends with benefits relationship where somebody didn’t catch feelings some kind of way. . .but then if that happens. . .

3.) . . .as soon as feelings are involved END THE RELATIONSHIP!!! I can’t stress this mess enough. Whether it’s the guy or the girl – it does not matter! Unless miraculously you BOTH wanna make a relationship outta thin air happen, just end it. Go back to being friends or acquaintances if you can. Once feelings are involved there is no turning back.

4.) There’s always the chance that your buddy might meet someone they wanna get serious with and when that happens, do not cock block. As Luther Vandross and Beyonce would say, “Let’s get love a try.” You never know – they might end up being something serious and you’ll always be that one person their partner can’t stand because your cockblockin’ self was all up in the mix trying to keep your little hook-up pact going. Be still.

That’s all I’ve got so far. . .obviously, beneficial friends have been on my mind since relationships right now are a bust *sigh* I’m just trying to spread some knowledge. It’s no surprise to me that sixty-two percent of Blacks have experienced more friends with benefits relationships than actual relationships. What's that sayin', huh?

I think you know.
