From a friend:
Just wanted to send a bulletin out and warn everyone about these girls
who think they can rip people off and get away with it.

Candi and I were nice enough to let them move into our house and within
4 days of them being here a $400.00 wedding band came up missing out of
our room, a $200.00 digital camera is missing off the kitchen counter
and $200.00 worth of damage was done to our brand new carpet in the
room they were staying in.

They have lied and stole from us because they don't care about anybody
but themselves and they have nothing of value to lose. So if you see
them run the other way. They mostly go to 1851 and sometimes to Dallas.
I want to take the money they owe us out on their ass but I WILL NOT
stoop to their level but we wanted to warn our friends about them. If
you see them with a Kodak camera please let us know. We know the ring
is gone or pawned but the police report will take care of that.

I'm going to upload some photos of them in the photo album. Their
names are Maetra and Sheena. Thanks for your time.
Lea and Candi

I also do pet and house sitting on the side and I have 19 years experience with it. I can provide references. I live in the Fort Worth, TX area.

So, if you hear of anyone who might need a sitter now or in the future, please email me at wordtrix@hotmail.com or have them contact me.

Thanks,
Terri

This past weekend was really unexpected because I had specific plans, but of course to no surprise, it fell apart, so, I spent the weekend with my Delaware Crew (DC). I call them this because they are the only people I hang with in Delaware....

Anyway, Friday was the usual bar night at the Good Shot Bar. As usual, Jai was late, because Jai is in denial that this bar actually closes at 1 AM on a Friday. I mean really...dont these people want to make money? My main spot in that place is anywhere by the bar....because (A) its the fastest way to get my drinks and (B) the dance floor is way too small, and it was way too hot. It kills me that chicks dress for this place, like its a club...its a bar...in Delaware. That should say it all. Overall, my hour in the place was cool. I stayed away from the grubby hands and I managed to enjoy the music and the scenery.

Saturday: The DC crew let me down. Why? Because though I luv them all...they are the most indecisive bunch ever. It would be cool if we lived in places like NY or D.C., but we live in Delaware...meaning, by 10 AM, if you dont know where you are going...you are basically screwed. Well, it seemed like we were screwed because we didnt decide until 11:30 ish and the plan was Philly. When we got to Philly, again team meeting, because a decision couldnt be made on which club in Philly to go to. We were in Spring Gardens, which I was informed as the "ghetto club area." and we went to Transit which is right across from Palmers which I heard is the "hood rat" club. Now, looking at the pack line in Palmers, oppose to the empty line at Transit, I was having serious doubt. I was more doubtful when the bouncer said...."Yo, why yall not going to Palmers?" When the bouncer is not promoting the club he is working for, that might be a sign that you should make a reverse turn and leave. But no, no, no...we made a decision and daggone it...we were determined to see it through.

So out goes our $20 and into the club we go...only to realize that somehow we ended up in Chinatown, not meaning to be insulting.   Oh yeah, it seemed that it was Asian hip-hop night. What was amazing was that the Asians were off-the-hook...hoochie outfits everywhere....a** (or lack there of) shaking...and they have more rhythm than caucasians and a lot of blacks that I have seen.  This might be a little insulting to some, but please keep in mind that even though America is a supposedly a melting pot, a lot of ethnic groups and races tend to stick to their own groups.  So it is always a culture shock to see other cultures doing the same thing you do on a daily basis and it is also enlightening.

Now, back to the party, I got off of the initial shock of not seeing any eye-candy. At least the DJ was playing good music...for like half-a-second. For instance, he would start with Young Joc's "Going Down" song, and just when you are about to do your motorcycle dance...he switches it to "Walk it Out". So there you are standing, with your hands on your imaginary motorcycle handles, and you cant even start it. He could have been a good DJ if he actually played a record more than 30 seconds. One thing he did play out was the Asian hip-hop group that decided to perform that night. Its quite a shock when Asian rappers get on stage and hollas "where's my n*ggas at!"...."all my gangsta's put your hands in the air". But, it was really quite an eye-opener to see how hip-hop affects different people and how different cultures try to portray that "thug" image.

Anyway, the DC crew made the best of bad situation...gotta love them for that...and we enjoyed ourselves...as we try to do always.

They did me proud on Sunday....that was Atlantic City nite and I will tell yall about it later...right now, I'm kinda tired.....

Be blessed yall....

So its the last Saturday of 2007 and I wanted it to go out with a bang. Unfortunately, but not suprisingly, it did not go down the way I thought it should have. For some reason, all the spots in DE was barren...until we found out those mf'ers all went to the Chase Center for a 30 and over party....not that I could get in yet, but still...they had to have been lenient for all the local spots to be empty.

My friend and I turned up at a spot called Pharos located in Wilmington, Delaware that ended up to be decent, but a bust all at the same time? Why you ask? Well, lets just say a chick bagged my number...now how messed up can the night get?

Oh much worse, because I ended up dancing with a white pimp and an old guy (who said he was 30, but looks like 42...receding hairline and all) was trying to pick up my friend. Yes, he bought us drinks, but did that mean that he could hang around for the rest of the night and take us to his house so he could show off his culinary skills???? I think not! Fellas, a chick cost more than a drink. I know in your mind you have it in the bag, however, we thank you, but would like you to keep it moving. Only come back if you want to do refills. LOL

And if one more guy tells me he can tell I am an island chick from my facial bone structure and my complexion...I will scream. No, you cannot tell! Stop acting like you are so aware of other cultures....give me a break!

All in all, Delaware...you disappointed me yet again. Is this what I have to look forward to in the year 2008? Short men, bummy men, men with missing teeth, men with no fashion sense, or tall men who have no bed skills with psycho babymommas and girlfriends? If thats all you have to offer, then I hope that chick calls me. LMAO

Please pray for me...looks like I need all the help I can get!
