			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why can&#8217;t I say, &#8220;I don&#8217;t appreciate what you said to me&#8221;, without you having to interpet it as meaning that I don&#8217;t like you, or I&#8217;m picking on you or &#8220;going off&#8221; on you? Why can&#8217;t it sometimes cause you to go back and think about what you said, and possibly attribute the misunderstanding to a &#8220;poor communication&#8221; moment? Think before you speak. When you <em>misspeak</em>, own up to it and move on.</p>
<p>Sometimes, people <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/04/27/austria.cellar/index.html?iref=mpstoryview#cnnSTCText">like this&#8230;man</a> make me wanna find another planet to live on. I wish Jesus would beam me up, cuz things are going to get much worse.</p>
<p>The more I work with brides-to-be, the less I&#8217;m surprised at the high divorce rate. Women can be a piece of work. You see it a lot, when we&#8217;re about to get married. I&#8217;ve been tempted on more than one occasion to corner a soon-to-be-groom, and say, &#8220;Now, you know you don&#8217;t <em>have</em> to do this, right?&#8221; Run for your life, young man. Wow.</p>
<p><a href="http://maxdaddy.wordpress.com/2008/04/07/happy-birthday-kathy/">This</a> made my entire month. I believe him, too. <img src='http://nappilyevahaftah.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/yes.gif' alt=':yes' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>If he&#8217;s not &#8220;The One&#8221;, then quit trying to make something work that ain&#8217;t gonna work. Don&#8217;t keep hanging on, because you&#8217;re crazy about the <em>attention</em>, but not the actual&#8230;guy. Men hurt, just like us. <em>Grow up</em> and treat folks the way you&#8217;d wanna be treated, if you were in their shoes. Nobody wants to be &#8220;settled for&#8221;, and you reap MORE than you sow&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <img src='http://nappilyevahaftah.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/2.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> I do <em>sincerely</em> apologize if anyone experienced any negative consequences from visiting my site. It&#8217;s behind me now, but Google still displays a <em><strong>&#8220;This site may harm your computer&#8221;</strong></em> label. It may take WEEKS (yes, I said &#8220;weeks&#8221;), before this label gets removed, which I think is a mess, but what can I do? <img src='http://nappilyevahaftah.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/dunno.gif' alt=':dunno' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I had NO idea what was going on, for the first two days <em>after</em> the hack. The culprit? My Coppermine gallery. So that gallery is&#8230;gone. I <em>may</em> add a WP gallery and take some new hair pics. But for now, I&#8217;m just glad to have my site restored.</p>
<p>Thanks!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m starting backwards&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Detroiters</strong><br />
Why does it seem like so many of us lack basic discernment and reasoning ability? Why is it ALWAYS about somebody trying to <em>&#8220;bring a young black man down&#8221;?</em> Why does logic fly out the window, when color enters a situation?</p>
<p>Kwame&#8217;s behavior DEFINATELY does not match that of one who&#8217;s been wrongly accused. If there was nothing to hide, he wouldn&#8217;t have gone to outrageous lengths to keep those text messages from coming to light. Isn&#8217;t that common sense?</p>
<p>If  it was ONLY about his affair with Christine, he wouldn&#8217;t have paid out $9 million in that settlement. Politicians cheat on their spouses. We all know that. It&#8217;s not about that. There&#8217;s some info in those messages (and in that investigation that got shut down) that will uncover some stuff that&#8217;s MUCH deeper, and MUCH uglier than  <em>just</em> marital infidelity. He wanted those officers to stop digging, so he took away their shovels. They sued (successfully, btw), because they knew their performance was exemplary, and that there was no legitimate reason for the firings.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t pay $9 million, cuz you don&#8217;t want folks to know you&#8217;re sleeping with your Chief of Staff. That&#8217;s way too much money, to hide behavior that is expected AND accepted in this sick world we live in. Common sense, again.</p>
<p>Nobody has to try to <em>&#8220;take a black man down&#8221;.</em> Kwame&#8217;s done a good job, ALL BY HIMSELF. Blame Kwame, and stop with the lame conspiracy theories.</p>
<p><strong>Preachas<br />
</strong>What are some of you &#8220;ministers&#8221; <em>of</em>, exactly? Is it The Gospel? What do you&#8230;preach? &#8220;He who is without sin&#8230;&#8221; is the ONLY verse you can come up with, to address a wayward, arrogant, rebellious mayor? All these &#8220;churches&#8221; in Detroit (one on every corner), and we wonder why stuff is so wicked? It&#8217;s because the spiritual leadership is just as&#8230;.blind and batty as those they lead. Too many of you are more concerned about politics, than you are  about righteousness. You&#8217;re in bed with Kwame.</p>
<p>How about this&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://bible.cc/proverbs/28-13.htm">Proverbs 28:13</a>  No good comes from covering up wrongdoing. Mercy and compassion flow (FROM GOD, not <em>necessarily</em> other human beings&#8230;), <strong>when we confess, and TURN from our wrongdoing.</strong> We want God&#8217;s mercy, because He is able to turn hard hearts and situations. People may or may not show mercy, even when you are genuinely repentant. But when God is on your side, you don&#8217;t worry about fickle human beings.</p>
<p><a href="http://bible.cc/proverbs/13-15.htm">Proverbs 13:15</a>  Your way will be HARD, when you transgress. Plus, your transgressions will make it hard on others, who have to deal with the consequences of your transgressions.  It&#8217;s a rocky road all the way, with a rocky end in store.<a href="http://bible.cc/proverbs/13-15.htm"><br />
</a><br />
<a href="http://bible.cc/proverbs/29-1.htm">Proverbs 29:1 </a> A <em>stiff</em> neck will end up as a <em>broken</em> neck — with no remedy. You never want to get to a place where what&#8217;s broke can&#8217;t be&#8230;fixed. You won&#8217;t get your career back. Your wife will leave, never to return. Your kids will hate you. You&#8217;ll lose your mind — and it&#8217;ll STAY&#8230;lost. God is kind enough to send warnings, before the judgement. There are some &#8220;hard sayings&#8221; in the bible, and Christians often avoid those sayings — as if that will render them less true.</p>
<p>So, when you pray, make sure you pray according to God&#8217;s Word and God&#8217;s will. Stop using the pulpit to support/promote corrupt politicians. God is not mocked. Those who support corruption also have to answer to God.</p>
<p><strong>Kwame<br />
</strong>You&#8217;re not what we need to push our city forward. You&#8217;re not a wise man, and you clearly don&#8217;t have a heart for Detroiters. Step down. Repent. Not much else to say.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m 45 years old today! WOW! I really feel about the same as I did in my early thirties. Nothing is starting to &#8220;snap, crackle and pop&#8221; yet, so I guess it&#8217;s all good, right? Time flies, when you&#8217;re having fun — actually, time just&#8230;flies, after you turn 25.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s on the agenda for today? Well, I took the day off. So, naturally soaping is on the schedule. I&#8217;ll probably dine with my girl pals, this weekend. I wish I felt different, so I could share something special about this day. In truth, it&#8217;s just another day — a blessed day, still. So many have left this world, under some horrific circumstances. So, I guess I&#8217;m just glad to be here, in my right mind and in good health.</p>
<p>No crazy stalkers. No children tryna  kill me. No hip replacement surgery on the schedule. No cataracts. No problems. Life is good!</p>
