To Que or Not to Que....

that is the question!

Am I the only grown azz woman in the USA who has never learned to utilize the above contraption?

I admit it! I don't know how to BBQ!

I do own a grill, have BBQ utensils & er'thing, just never learned how or had the desire to learn to use them.

I thought I would've had a husband by now & that would be his job. (Boyfriend 2.0 is history.)

As of now, I'm taking applications for a BBQ tutor....preferably of the tall, dark & handsome persuasion....but hey, I'll take what I can get!

Just checking to see what this "Quick Note" feature does...... :)

It got me to thinking about the lies I've told, most I was caught in (just like my Mama said I would).

 

Ding Dong! Coach is Dead! (for Survivor Fans)

...well not dead, but voted of the island! I don't know about my other Survivor fans but that man made my @$$ itch & I'm so glad his chance of winning is gone. He will go down as the most annoying contestant in Survivor history.

If all goes as he plans, I can see JT winning it. I'm also proud of my girl Taj for lasting as long as she has.

Best & Worst Mother's Day

For all the Mommies, Step-mommies, Grand-mommies, Big Mamas, Madea, Nanas, etc.

Tell us about your best & worst Mother's Day.

The Best - My son (about age 5 at the time) brought home a card he made at school.  I swear to you that card looked as if it had been stepped on, chewed on & cried on, but he gave it to me as if it were the Hope Diamond.  I'm sure the poor card struggled from school on Friday to giving it to me that Sunday.  My Mother's Day breakfast consisted of 2 cold hot dogs & a bowl of Trix...oh & some dandelions he picked from the yard (lol).  I ate my breakfast it like it came from a 4 star establishment & displayed my dandelions on the etagere because my baby did it all by himself.  A day I'll never, ever forget.

The Worst - Mother's Day 1999 - the 1st without my mother.  No one to buy a card & gifts for & no one to call.  The absolute worst.

Has Facebook Replaced Multiply?

Rating:	★★

I originally joined FB to spy on the boy, my God-daughter & other youngins I care about. Then I noticed a lot a people I already some kind of relationship on there. I'm also connected to several of you in both spots & notice much more activity on FB. I'm still learning FB but will stay in Plyville, if only for the blogging.

I created a FB rule for myself - only connect to current connections ('Ply, 360, Myspace), friends, family & classmates. I'm not in the business of collecting friends. I can't keep up with the people in my house, let alone 889 web-connects. LOL

Now back to the original question - Has Facebook replaced Multiply? What say you?
