YOU MAKE ME MISS MY SISTER SOMETIMES, If you have ever heard Lynette go off, you would know what I mean.
Sometimes you make me miss my sister's... so much, so long, so funny! I miss you too baby, even if it ain't you, there are some out there that know what I am talking about, how... they lived in this nightmare with me and we all can't be crazy...
I remember the time we went to Segaull's with Bobby Brown, no better yet the time we ... nevermind...
WHEN YOU DID MY HAIR FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER MARCH 2003, I was going to have dinner with Mother Coretta Scott King, that was the LAST time I saw her!
No actually when I stayed in Westmont (in her condo) during the 2004 DNC COnvention, that is where I was reporting from during that time... I wish we had moved to DuPage County, I wish... the kids were all set to go to Butterfield School and start a new... and then all this happened!
I don't have a baby but this is how I imagine bedtimes pan out. Baby's bedroom is dimly lit with a couple of pink night-lights casting a pacific glow on the room. Wafts of clean linen faintly sprayed with lavender and baby's milky head drift around. Put tiny baby in cot. Tuck baby in. Knock the mobile so it spins around. Baby gurgles.
Can Girls Aloud replace Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?
To soothe the child, sing a lullaby. Something gentle and simple. Perhaps slightly pastoral. You want to express your unconditional love for the babe wrapped in a blanket. Start singing softly:
Goodbye familiar Berceuses by those old squares Brahms and Mozart. On yer bike Twinkle Twinkle. Adieu Lavender Dilly.
A poll found that the most popular 'lullaby' cooed by mothers today is Patience by Take That, followed by Angels by Robbie Williams and then, rather surprisingly, Katy Perry's song about lesbian snogs: 'I Kissed a Girl',
A fifth of these respondents claim the sprog settles better with pop songs than a lullaby and say they've forgotten the words to more traditional ditties anyway.
Now, if experts are to be believed and music does influence the development of a baby's brain this evidence is perturbing.
Admittedly, some of the songs on the list are maternal and loving. Elvis's Love me tender, Whitney's I will always love you (Dolly's?) and Mama by the Spice Girls come to mind.
But surely anything written by James Blunt is a danger (both musically and morally; 'she could tell from my face that I was f***ing high'). And the fruity lyrics of Dizzee Rascal and Katy Perry might be inappropriate for a newborn.
Having said that, while lullabies of yore were passed down through the centuries because of the effectiveness of their musical form; the simple lilting melodies, tonic and dominant harmonies and lack of rap, their content was often just as disturbing and inappropriate for young ears.
Three Blind Mice is about Queen Mary's violent execution of Protestants in the 16th century. Queenie also blinded them. Rock-a-bye baby is about a tot falling to its peril out of a tree. Hush Little Baby is a paean to materialism. It used to be a mockingbird and a diamond ring - now mother has to buy a Wii, an iPhone and a Bratz doll to shut the little blighter up.
I still think that's preferable to Guns n' Roses though.
Amiga(o) Jesús dijo varias veces que sus seguidores no sabrían cuándo esto acontecería. "Velad, pues, porque no sabéis a qué hora ha de venir vuestro Señor" Mt. 24:42; "Vosotros, pues, también, estad preparados, porque a la hora que no penséis, el Hijo del Hombre vendrá" Lc. 12:40; "Velad, pues, porque no sabéis cuándo vendrá el señor de la casa; si al anochecer, o a la medianoche, o al canto del gallo, o a la mañana; para que cuando venga de repente..." Mr. 13:35 Más aún, el Señor decía que ni él mismo lo sabía ("Pero de aquel día y de la hora nadie sabe, ni aun los ángeles que están en el cielo, ni el Hijo, sino el Padre" Mr. 13:32; Mt. 24:36. Cuando los discípulos le preguntaron sobre el particular, les dijo: "No os toca a vosotros saber los tiempos o las sazones, que el Padre puso en su sola potestad" (Hch. 1:7)
No obstante todo esto, desde los mismos tiempos apostólicos se han venido haciendo especulaciones para determinar una fecha o, a lo menos, la época del retorno de Cristo, muchas veces basándose en algunas de sus propias palabras, incorrectamente interpretadas. La prueba de que esos errores vienen de los tiempos apostólicos puede verse en el hecho de que los apóstoles mismos tuvieron que aclarar a los creyentes la verdad, en vista de ciertos movimientos que se levantaban entre ellos. Pablo tuvo que explicar a los Tesalonicenses: "Pero con respecto a la venida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, y a nuestra reunión con él... no os dejéis mover fácilmente de vuestro modo de pensar... no os conturbéis... ni por carta como si fuera nuestra, en el sentido de que el día del Señor está cerca... porque no vendrá sin que antes venga la apostasía" (1 Ts. 2:1-4)
Pedro aclaró que "el Señor no retarda su promesa... sino que es paciente para con nosotros, no queriendo que ninguno perezca" (2 P. 3:9). Hay que apuntar, sin embargo, que teniendo en cuenta todas las Escrituras que hablan sobre la segunda venida de Cristo, resulta evidente que ha sido la voluntad de Dios que todos sus hijos la esperen con un sentido de inminencia, de forma tal que eso mismo les impulse a mantenerse velando contra el pecado y la contaminación.

Padre, tu venida se acerca, úsame para testificar de ti...
Telegraph readers from all over the country complain that they are tumbling down the stairs because energy-saving light bulbs on the landing do not come on in time when they pop to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
It is quite true that the new bulbs are as dim as the politicians who force them upon us. I found myself in the Midland Hotel earlier this year and, because the bulbs were of the new kind, no light in my room was bright enough to read by. I ended up taking the shade off the bedside lamp and, to catch its glow, balancing it on a rather vulgar metallic box of paper handkerchiefs provided by the thoughtful management. I still had to hold the book up towards the light as if I was trying to read by a full moon.
As one of our readers mentioned in a letter to the Editor, you have to use more of the new bulbs in order to produce enough light, which rather defeats the object.
Proper incandescent bulbs are shortly to be banned in a Europe-wide bureaucratic drive, purportedly on ecological grounds. Yet the dull new bulbs contain mercury, a deadly poison that builds up in the food chain once it reaches waters that flow into the sea. Soon our tuna sandwiches will be thick with mercury, blackening our teeth and turning us as mad as hatters.
The mercury hazard means, to the health and safety police, that if one breaks a new dim bulb, it is necessary to open doors and windows and don protective clothing.
You must not throw the new bulbs away in the dustbin when they fail, as they soon do, but take them to a hazardous waste tip.
So the ideal Christmas present this year is a cache of good old lightbulbs. Mind where you store them or the rust will get at the metal end. One day they'll be as valuable as 1945 Margaux.

7:34 am Steve Harvey, you help me hold oin to my sanity boo! I swear if it were not you and the gang laughing back at me with some of this drama, I resally might go crazy for real baby...
Thank you morning crew for keeping me grounded, I need to play a Do You Know Why? game, Do you know why I have to STAY in Chicago, what happened the last time I tried to leave Chicago. I will give you a Clue... I bet you think I am playing...
In 2007 I annouced I was leaving Chicago to go to Minnesota and all of a sudden the BRIDGE BLEW UP, I bet you think I am playing don't you? I bet you think I am joking! What!!! I ain't got no explosives, I can't blow up a damn thang... so you tell me why is it so important for T.T. to stay in Chicago?
I hate this sometimes, you really cannot afford for me to leave, do you know what they say will happen if I leave Illionis, you better realize before it's too late...
WHO REMEMBERS THE MINNSOTA BRIDGE INCIDENT, LET ME FIND THE EMAIL!
Europe has $3.5Trillion in loans to eastern europe and others in the developing world. Ecuador, hardly a big player, but a nation with significant oil reserves, has failed to pay interest on its debt, now 17 days overdue.
It has missed the payment because of falling oil revenues.
In 13 days, it must pay both the missed interest payment and the current interest payment, or be in default. Have oil prices picked up since early November?
Ecuador is a small fish, but the other bigger players are in the same boat.
The wonderful Mr Pritchard, to my knowledge the only mainstream commentator to have even a smidgen of a clue end on this.
"If in doubt, cleave to those countries with a deeply-rooted democracy, a strong sense of national solidarity, a tested rule of law - and aircraft carriers."
to everyone D.X. is alive and well. So all the ladies come and be my friend. If u not down with that then i got two words for u. s**k it. By the way lets get HBK to kick JBL head right off.
I wanted to share with you today's Chicago Sun-Times editorial endorsing me to succeed President-elect Barack Obama in the U.S. Senate. I'm truly honored and grateful to receive this leading newspaper's endorsement, which states this: "...we believe Jackson has earned the job and would serve our state -- our entire state -- well...We believe Jackson, 43, has the drive, the passion and the experience."
I hope that you will take a moment to read the attached editorial and share your thoughts with me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jesse Jackson, Jr. - Congressman Second District of Illinois http://www.jessejacksonjr.org
Paid for and maintained by Jesse Jackson, Jr. for Congress
THE LETTER READS:
December 1, 2008
U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. is our choice to be the next U.S. senator from Illinois.
Though Gov. Blagojevich, who must pick a replacement in the Senate for President-elect Barack Obama, finds himself with no shortage of qualified candidates, we believe Jackson has earned the job and would serve our state -- our entire state -- well.
And if Jackson does not, he'll get bounced soon enough. Once appointed, he would have to stand for election statewide in less than two years, where his famous name would be as much a burden as a blessing.
We believe Jackson, 43, has the drive, the passion and the experience. In his 13 years in Congress, he has distinguished himself as a thoughtful, committed legislator who fights for what he thinks is right.
Jackson took the lead in the push for a third Chicago area airport -- in Will County, close to his South Side and south suburban district -- and has refused to give up. That has put him at odds with Mayor Daley, a man he would be smart to befriend, but we admire his commitment on this issue, as well as his daily determination to bring economic development to his depressed district.
Jackson has looked after his constituents well, bringing home about $600 million in federal grants and appropriations for projects such as fresh drinking water in Ford Heights, a community long stuck with rust-colored, foul-smelling water. He has led efforts to redevelop the former US Steel South Works site on the South Side.
Jackson also has proven himself on the national stage, serving on the House Appropriations Committee and as Obama's national campaign co-chairman. He has pushed for universal health care and, in 2001, was the point man on legislation that created a center on minority health and health disparities at the National Institutes of Health.
Above all, we believe, Jackson shares the values and goals of the president-elect, a consideration of no small importance to us in making this endorsement. The voters of Illinois chose Obama twice -- first for the Senate and then for president -- and they deserve a replacement who fully shares the president-elect's agenda.
Jackson at times reminds us more of the consensus-inclined Obama, seeking to rise above race and factionalism, than his honorable but more divisive father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson. The son has even called out the father when he felt it necessary. Back in July, when the Rev. Jackson was caught whispering a rather ungentlemanly comment about Obama -- something, as we recall, about snipping Obama's manhood -- Rep. Jackson played it straight, saying he was "outraged and disappointed'' by his father's "reckless" mutterings.
This newspaper has respect for both Jesse Jacksons -- the son and the father -- and in the son we see many of the father's finest qualities, in particular a passion for championing the poor, the oppressed and the powerless.
But in Rep. Jackson, we also see somebody who is his own man.
We cannot conclude this editorial without mentioning one other superbly qualified candidate for the job, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan. She is an independent and highly effective leader and would make a terrific senator.
But we doubt Blagojevich would offer her the appointment, given that she is the daughter of his Springfield nemesis, House Speaker Mike Madigan. And we doubt Lisa Madigan would accept the appointment, given her obvious interest in running for governor in 2010.
More to the point, we are fully enthusiastic about the prospect of a Sen. Jesse Jackson Jr. -- oh, how far we have come -- and we urge the governor to make it happen.
You ever get in the "Bah Humbug" kind of mood? I mean I'm ready to head back to Cincinnati to see the family and all the other friends of mine. But you ever just have the thought "Is this it"? What ever happened to that so called "Holiday Magic"? Did I lose it somewhere? Or am I just in some kind of funk and missing the boat? Maybe I need to take a walk through Bricktown, look at some lights, or something. That or I need to have another drink. ha ha ha

When I met this articulate young French organic cheese farmer three months ago, he agreed that his plight was rather like a modern-day version of Jean de Florette, the book by Marcel Pagnol and later a hit film with Gérard Depardieu.
Jean-Hugues Bourgeois was driven from his farm
In the first episode of the Pagnol saga, you will recall, two embittered peasants plot to claim a newcomer's land and turn the village against the outsider. It ends with the death of the kindly Depardieu character.
"I only hope the outcome is a bit different here," Jean-Hugues Bourgeois had told me at the time - only half-jokingly.
As it turns out, the ending is slightly different: the 29-year old "outsider" is still alive.
But his dream of raising sheep and goats with his family in this isolated part of rural France is most definitely over.
Jean-Hugues is leaving his farm in a hamlet next to Teilhet, population 300, in the Auvergne in central France, four years ago after arriving from his native Gap in the Upper Alps.
"I'm tired and sickened. My family is relieved (that we're leaving)," he said, adding that he would look for a farm elsewhere.
Jean-Hughes threw in the towel on December 1, the deadline mystery locals had given him to leave or be killed. The death threat extended to the retired local farmer who had leased him the land - soil that his tormentors would stop at nothing to claim was rightfully theirs.
To ram home the message that he was unwelcome, they shot his goats at point blank range, stuffed a dead rat into his glove compartment, burned down his barn and placed a coffin in his tractor with the message: "you leave or they (his wife and child) die". In October they burned down another barn and last month they poisoned a lamb.
After a police investigation got nowhere, he called the press in desperation and his plight became of national concern. His hope was that the media exposure would shame the culprits into seeing reason and would lift the lid on a phenomenon he says is widespread in rural France.
But he had underestimated the thugs' determination and the apparent ineptitude of local police.
On Sunday, around 200 villagers gathered to belatedly show support after months of silence but his decision is now final. "I only have one desire: to become Mr Nobody once again," he told me today. "I'm young, I've got a family and a life to lead."
On the face of it, his tormentors have won their sordid battle but, as Jean-Hugues points out, surely their blind rage is jeopardising the future of the French countryside?
He is one of a growing number of French farmers called Hors Cadre Familial, or HRC (outside the family framework), meaning he has not taken up land tended by his parents and does not come from the immediate vicinity. A third of all young farmers starting up today are HRC, compared to 10 per cent in the 1990s.
This has created friction within small, close-knit farming communities. But as he points out, most of the farmers in the neighbourhood are reaching retirement and there are not enough locals willing to take their places.
Jean-Huges says the Europe's Common Agricultural Policy is partly to blame for stoking tensions, as its subsidies are based on the size of a farm - pushing farmers to try and expand.
He has received numerous letters of support and sympathy from other young HRC farmers suffering similar intimidation around France - in particular those starting organic farms.
Clearly, the tale of the unwelcome outsider is not restricted to France - although it has a huge amount of farmland - and it would be interesting to hear if others have had such experiences.
