FOR WOMEN ONLY!, SISTER GIRLS part 2

FOR WOMEN ONLY!-Welcome Back!

Remember, this site is for encouraging, inspiring, supporting, giving comfort to and sharing information with....WOMEN!

The mature and the young.

We left off last week with a poem written by me in the "INSPIRATION STATION" part of this post. So, let's just get right to that. I know some of you are waiting for MORE!

So, hold on to your hearts and lets' get started.

"INSPIRATION STATION"

SISTER GIRLS, Part 2

a Poem By: MEETTA

*From Meetta,

'Women, you are all my Sister girls...no matter your race, creed, or culture..."

"We are all connected by humanity."

...SISTER GIRLS!

There are other ways that we take and heap "stuff" upon each other.

Women, stay with me now, like the wind,

I'm moving on and Like How!

A mother teaching her daughter to do ANYTHING to please her husband!

No matter that the mother knows this man, her son-in-law, time and time again,

has hurt her daughter!

She was taught that a woman's place is in the mans' bed and under his stomping foot!

The daughter sees, so she believes!

Somehow, the daughter, ends up tiring of this abuse and she begins to know that there is another way to go!

She talks to her mother, but it is no use.

Her mother was taught this too! Years ago.

My Dear, Sister Girl...

For your MOTHER and for you, my heart is aching.

Still, the daughter did all what her mother said until...

One day when her husband tried to go upside her head... again!

For NO REASON that can TRULY BE justified.

THAT WAS IT!

She took control, packed her kids and away she went.

NEVER to return to her husband or that kind of man EVER again!

Her mother?

Well...she loves her daughter and commends her new found strength.

She only taught her daughter to go the way that the women in HER LIFE, went.

Finally understanding the pain, grief and the cost of such lessons, the mother released.

She hugged her daughter tightly, apologized between the sobs and tears just rolling from her eyes.

She apologized for the lessons she taught!

Lessons like teaching a woman's true value is less, much less than the woman thought.

Her mother, in that moment herself,

learned that the woman is who God chose

to have life come from.

So, in a very unique and precious way,

the woman is special to God!

The woman is made to give birth to nations AND she is given the knowledge, the wisdom and the courage to nurture them.

Women are made with an amazing capacity to carry HEAVY, HEAVY loads that cause some men to buckle and TURN TO THE WOMAN for HIS renewed strength!

Compassion was compacted into her...the woman!

Strength and elegance was not kept from her.

Intelligence...What the woman knows is really only a fraction of what she REALLY shows!

The woman possesses a quiet strength that can turn into a roaring fire when the time is given.

WHEN THE WOMAN WAILS AND PRAYS... her voice opens up Heaven!

God hears and desires the wailing of women,

he understands the power within them.

HE PUT IT THERE!

For her days of blessings and deliverance, God, himself, bottles up the woman's tears.

He revels in the day when he can release them.

So, WOMEN...

Be encouraged! Stand Strong in wisdom.

Walk through, Run through...

However you got to do...beat back those fears...AND LIVE!

The mother went on.

She told her daughter that she only wished that she, herself, had the nerve and courage to do in her own marriage... what her daughter did.

Go on sISTER gIRL!

GO ON!

Truly tell it like it is!

THE FINAL CHAPTER OF SISTER GIRLS TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK

Stay Tuned...

SOCIAL SCENE-Interracial Couples

SOCIAL SCENE IS ABOUT YOU AND ME.

It is about what in society concerns us. What are the issues that people just LOVE TO fight about, strike about, write the president about! In this particular post, every week we will discuss topics that may do just that..disgust you. Some, you may find your freedom in. Some you may just be tired of discussing. Either way, it will ALWAYS be something pertinent to the way we think and live.

The topic for today is...INTERRACIAL COUPLES!

Yep! this is still a high topic in society today. I work at an attraction site. People come from all over the world to get there and I have to say, I have seen all shapes, sizes, creeds and complexions. I have a great time people watching in between my "shows"! I have also seen the looks of many of YOUR faces as "certain couples" (and their kids) pass you by.

Now, please know that interracial couples are not limited to white and black people. I've seen, black and Chinese, White and Chinese, Indian and Hispanic! Along with other cultures mixed in as well. People are people! To those of us who know and understand that. The creator (whoever you believe in) made us all, for whatever reasons he had in mind. We are all made with the same organs as other cultures, same amount of items IE. two hands, two eyes, etc. (generally speaking). Basically, we all have the same genetic makeup that make us human. SO, WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL!!! The heart loves who it loves, who it is drawn to. How you act upon it is another thing!

And what is it to you anyway if your best friend is dating in a cultural pool that you don't? What about your friends happiness, ESPECIALLY if the person they are with is nice, "normal" and treats the person well. One should hope that you would at least be happy for them! Love, TRUE LOVE, genuine love is a hard thing to come by in this world. (I'm over 40, single and never been married!) It's too many selfish, game playing people out here. Too many people have ill motives for wanting to have mates. For money, convience, control, whatever! They want mates for reasons except for real love. (I'll write about that in my Men, Women & Children Column, seeing as How I have strong thoughts about this. Stay Tuned) Moving on,

For all of the mean and sick minded people out here, I think some people SHOULD HAVE TO STAY BY THEMSELVES!!! But why should nice, decent people who are seeking love and companionship be denied that honor just because they are different shades, from different cultural, educational or financial backgrounds? I know I first started talking about interracial couples, but people deny themselves and others, a great opportunity to be with someone special because of the other reasons mentioned as well.

Family members and friends don't like that your partner is not making the kind of money or have the kind of job that they think your mate should have. They don't like your partners looks, views on life, raising kids, politics whatever! It could be that they liked your last partner better! Or it could be that one of your "friends" want you for themselves. Hmm! NOW THERE'S A THOUGHT!

Whatever the reason is, your family and friends diss (direspect) the person AND YOU, ignoring all of the other great attributes about them! What about when the person is not as academically educated as you? Would you be ashamed to take them around your high academically achieving colleagues, brothers or sisters? DO YOU TAKE THEM around your high academically achieving colleagues, brothers or sisters? What about your Mom and dad? Do you take them around your parents and what kind of couple are your parents anyway? Do they represent the kind of cultural relationship that you are in or think about being in? And is that your limit?

Today I have a poem for this occasion.

Remember! Whenever you see "INSPIRATION STATION"

in my posts, an appropriate poem is sure to follow.

"INSPIRATION STATION"

CHOCOLATE and VANILLA

a POEM BY: MEETTA

Chocolate & Vanilla...

are two flavors that go well together.

They tend to compliment each other.

One is exciting and bright , the other dark and sensually sweet. A desire.

It creeps up on you, holding you tight like a cherished lover, late in the night.

A favorite desert...

is really not what I am talking about.

Haven't you yet figured that out ?

Interracial lovers, fighting against the odds to be true to their own hearts.

They find contentment entangled in each other arms.

Sometimes, just being in each others presence.

Growth comes from commitment, their spirituality and intelligence.

Intimacy comes when they are swirled together, but...

even when they are apart, they are thought of as one!

Some people choose just one flavor...

Some people like them both... together.

chocolate AND vanilla.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME...

In WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME....
....A Teacher, Writer, Historical Presenter or Voice Actor?
I will share with you some steps for preparation to get your dream out of your head and into reality. We will discover together, what it takes to make your dreams and goals come true. A dream is just a dream if you don't do something about it! You've got to live it! I mean make a plan and just GO FOR IT!!!! Because you only have the one life to live and so do the people who are trying to talk you out of striving for and achieving your goal, you can't afford to miss another opportunity to live out loud.

Let me ask you a question? WHERE, DO YOU THINK IS THE WEALTHIEST PLACE ON EARTH? Go ahead think....I'll wait. doo, doo, do, do (the theme song to jeopardy just rolled right into my head, OK there it goes, it just rolled right back out again)

Here's the answer. The wealthiest place on earth is.....the cemetery! The thing is , many people die without ever completing the assignment of fulfilling their destiny, utilizing their unique talents and gifts. Some may have started on that journey and it ended before they got to the fulfillment of it. Some people just dreamed all of their life, too lazy, scared to even start! Some people did not have the belief system starting with belief in themselves to think they could accomplish what ever they imagined their goal was.

In any case, don't let it be you that abandons your dreams and goals.
Please! f your sake, As well as for all of the people waiting to partake of your gifts, make that decision to "'JUST DO IT!"
Start by writing down your dream. Then write down your abilities. Be honest! Write down your goals and practical time limit in which to achieve them. Set timeliness for yourself. Find out what training you made need. By the way, A great achiever of anything, never, EVER stops learning!! Amen to that!To stay competitive and remain at the top of your game, you have to always keep reaching and learning.

TRUE BELIEVER

Hey! I'm going to be sharing with you some of my experiences being a "True Believer' in Christ Jesus. There are people who need to see in the life of a believer. People are watching us, you, no matter who you are, where you go or what you do. Some of those people will be quite critical of you and some will praise the life you've been given. No matter, there will be those that you touch in a great way, if you live true. Whether they like you or not! Life is about the journey as much as it is about the destination. On that journey are 'Life Lessons' and lessons are meant to be shared, both the good and the bad. People will take from your "life lessons' what they need, whether they like you or not!

People are always wathcing other people! Case in point:
Today, I was leaving an appointment and standing at a bus stop waiting for the bus. At first it seemed no one was around, but then all of a sudden, I looked in a different direction and there was this man sitting in the parking lot across the street, with his door open, staring at me. It was raining and he was just sitting there looking at me as I was standing there. (I was not scared, but concerned) Any way, the bus came just a few minutes later and I was safe and on my way.

Still, the point is that someone will always be watching you no matter what you are doing! I prefer to invite you in. Watch me all you like and you will find GREAT THINGS amongst the ordinary things and you will also find some flaws. Doesn't that describe us all?
Still, looking at my life, you will find great things (my ordinary made extraordinary by the Grace of God!) and those things will be the things that you leave away with.

Meetta Talks,-Your Talent (s)

Hey Meetta Talks Readers!
Before I share some more of my life's journey, I want to share with you a little bit of one of my favorite songs. It is relevant to this weeks sharing.

SAY

By John Mayer

"...Have no fear for givin' over!

Have no fear for givin' in

You better know that in the end,

It's better to say too much

than to never say what you need to say again"...

Even as your hands are shakin,'

And your faith is broken,

Even as your eyes are closin',

Do it with a heart wide open...

A wide heart

chorus;

Say what you need to say,

Say what you need to say...

Say what you need to say etc..."

Meetta's Talk Topic for today is:

How are you using the talents you've been given?

Never mind the obstacles and negative people talk!

Even the ordinary about you can be made extraordinary if you PREPARE, PERSIST and PURSUE!

Passion is a valuable key also.

SO, WHAT IS ORDINARY ABOUT YOU?

One of my passions is writing.

When I am writing , I feel strong and free. It is scary also because I know as I open up and offer my writings to the world, there will be people who don't agree with what I write, the views I take and people can be quite judgemental, also cruel. Still, I write! That passion in me drives through that fear and I still manage to say what I need to say, the way I need to say it!

Some people also think I am a great talker. Someone even told me on yesterday, that she read my blog and I speak just like I write. She said as she was reading it, she heard my voice playing in her head. She thought it fascinating! Reader, read my profile, I told you I have a strange voice, pleasantly so though.

The things is, people who have met me, don't usually believe that I used to be shy. Painfully so! In fact, I was so shy that if you hit me on the back of the head I would just shrivel up and not say anything, BUT that was a long, long, long time ago and don't you try it now...! I'm smiling a tough smile.

Seriously folks, somewhere along the line, with a lot of tough love and support from others, I found my voice! Ever since, it just kept getting louder and louder!!! Even on paper! I have found that words have a mighty way of getting right to the heart of the matter. Words, even silent words can "hit you where you live", depending on what your going through and what you are reading. The right words can leap right off the page and change your life forever!

In any case, I love sharing what I have learned.

I love to learn and grow! I take the opportunities that life hands me. Like, I absolutely adore meeting people from other parts of the world! To me,meeting them is an adventure, especially considering I have not yet been able to afford to travel to all of the places my heart desires.

When I was 7 years old, one of my mothers visiting friends asked me what I wanted to be and do when I grew up? I remember this because I did not miss a beat (or a step) as I was dancing to "The Jackson Five" singing ABC...my answer was, "I'm going to travel the world, (meet all kind of interesting people) take pictures of it and show the world how beautiful it really is." I knew I wouldn't be a famous photographer, always some kind of talker! Though, at 7 years old, I didn't know what to call the kind of career I was talking about. It has to be something in entertainment though, because I loved to dance and music was my thang! Yep, I said thang! (Smile)

Well, I am WAY past 7 years of age, and I am a professional talker (currently on a small scale, very small), but I do very much enjoy being around people who know more than I do on different subjects of interests. People who have interesting careers and hold different positions,

I find it all quite interesting ! I wanna know what else is out there!...Always did. The world is much bigger than Detroit, Michigan. I wanna know, taste and experience life, THE GOOD PARTS of it, that is!. AAH!!! I wanna live out loud and use my life to do great things for other people too. I don't want it all for myself. Though, we come into this world by ourselves, our lives are built to live for, with and around other people.

Velma Gilmore of Clinton Township, a 91 year old woman that I work with, (Yep she's still working and sharp as a tack too! She says we keep her young! me smiling).

Moving on though, one day she said to me, "the moment you stop learning is the moment you start dying. First you die mentally, then spiritually. Not too long after that everything is downhill because that is when you REALLY GET OLD!" you start to break down physically and everything is downhill from there. It's important to keep learning, keep your mind sharp. It is even more imiportant that you share what you know with other people because you don't know how many lives your life has and will touch. You can't always know the ways in which you touched them." Thank you Velma!

Sometimes, the only story anyone EVER reads is us! People get inspired by people! For better or for worse. Our story is our actions, the way we treat people, the way we behave, including the way we speak to and about other people! Our individual stories include how we handle difficult and easy situations, what our views are on different topics of discussion and how we live out our story. In my blog page, through all 13 of my continued "columns" every week, (Feel Free to check out "Hey Blogger! to find out the titles of those weekly columns) I hope you take "my story" to heart. Feel free to sift through what is useful for you or someone you now and discard the rest.

In closing, I am taking great joy in sharing my writings with you now, despite all obstacles and negative people talk. I will continue to use "my powers for good!...me laughing). Writing regularly again gives me SUCHHHHH a freedom! I trust that in some way , it will do the same for you. Reader, I hope you find something in my "ordinary" that makes your life EXTRA-ordinary!

PREPARE, PERSIST AND PURSUE. You may just be amazed at how your ordinary can be made into something extra-ordinary!

Again, I ask "HOW ARE YOU USING THE TALENTS YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN?"

SEE YOU NEXT WEEK ON .....MEETTA TALKS!

B.I.B.L.E, First You Must Believe!

B.I.B.L.E:

BASIC INSTRUCTION BEFORE LEAVING EARTH

(Humans do come with an instruction manual!)

HELLO BLOGGERS!
YEP! IT'S OUT OF THE BAG. IT'S TRUE! IT'S TRUE!

I CONFESS! i DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE READY FOR THIS?...

...I AM A

CHRISTIANNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
I BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD AND THAT HE DIED AND ROSE AGAIN FOR ME... YOU AND ALL WHO WILL BELIEVE AND RECEIVE!
It is true! IT IS TRUE!

Unashamedly I admit this you.
I committed my life to Christ in 1998. I attend a local congregation in Detroit, Michigan. I strive to live my life as best I can and as close as I can, according to Gods written word. The bottom line is, as long as the lessons are coming from God's word, God will prove himself to you. JUST GET YOUR BIBLE and FOLLOW ALONG!!!

OH! I'm Incorrigible. Just joking! about that part. No really! *SMILE*

Whew! There, I said it, in case any of you (who don't know me) had any doubts about what you are about to enter into by reading this post.
The thing is I did that to boldly proclaim the son of God. This confession is to let you know the basis of my belief system. It is also to let you know my motive behind this weekly column.

OK! Maybe I went a little overboard, but it got your full attention didn't it?

So, I'll just say this way then:

This site is for those who are non-Christians

(in particular), but who are seeking.

Those of you who are already SAVED and LIVING THE LIFE OF A TRUE CHRISTIAN BELIEVER are also welcome to follow this post to keep studying, being strengthened and encouraged!

THIS IS BIBLE STUDY FOLKS! ON -line, one lesson at at time.

The Internet reaches millions of people per day and many of them do not attend any church setting what so ever, for a wide range of reasons. Some of those people are open open to learning the will of God for their lives.

I will be coming directly from The Bible both the King James version and a

Life Application Study Bible:N.I.V.-New International Version.

Also I will list the topic of discussion, its location (what book of the Bible used for reference material and the verses will also be listed).

We may not go in order straight from Genesis to Revelation, but we will go according to how God leads us.

If we hang in here together people, this could be a very awesome study group glorifying God, benefiting you and those you love, in a great and mighty way!

THIS IS FREE!!!!

NO MONIES REQUESTED. NEVER TO BE ACCEPTED!!!

JUST THOUGHT I'D SAY THAT because some people may think church and offerings etc. NO!

If you get positive things out of this, good!

OK! Let's begin.

I'm using the N.I.V. New International Version (It breaks the King James version down a little better) I will type it all down to help you follow along. OK?

The Book of Exodus: Chapter 14, verses 13& 14

The book of Romans: Chapter 10, verses 13-15

The subject matter is: FIRST, YOU MUST BELIEVE!

Ex. ch.14:13-14 (v.13) Moses answered the people , "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. (v.14)The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still."

Ro.ch.10:13-15 (v.13) for, Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."

(v.14) How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? (v.15) And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How, beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

**See here is the gist of it, You have to "hear" the word of God in order to believe in the word of God. Usually you need to hear a Godly, bible teaching preacher preach the gospel of Jesus Christ!

You can read the word of God and then "hear" it. Until you receive the "spirit" of God, you cannot understand the word of God which are Biblical principle nor be able to effectively apply it to your life.

I have to end now. Will continue... Stay tuned

**For the already believing Christian:

In telling others about Christ, an effective witness must include more than being a good example. Eventually, we will have to explain the content, the WHAT and the HOW of the gospel. Modeling the Christian life is important, but we will need to connect the mind of the unbeliever and the message of the gospel (The good news of Christ, which is his story, his ministry and what he did for us).

Lifestyle evangelism (one's living proclaims the gospel) and confrontational evangelism (declaring the message) should be used together, both, promoting the gospel.

WELCOME ABOARD!

"INSPIRATION STATION":

Sister Girl part 1

a POEM BY Meetta

Females of all ages, races, creeds and cultures!

I hereby pronounce you ALL, my SISTER GIRLS!

No matter that we are not related!

No matter that we have never met!

We are all united in humanity!

So, with that behind me, let me begin!

You will come to understand as of yet.

Females are beautiful, creative, intelligent, formidable beings to be reckoned with.

Yet, we take SO MUCH off of the other gender AND we put so much upon each other...women!

Hey! Hey you say!

Sister Girls, you don't understand yet?

Let me put it this way...

There are many life lessons that each of us has learned or have yet to learn.

Women, we should share, especially with the girls who don't know this stuff yet.

On the other hand, I know some women my age and older who don't know much either!!

Take for example these situations:

Sister Girls, your man is cheating, but to the other woman you give the beating.

YOUR MAN knows what he has at home!

So, why is the other woman the only one who is wrong?

Sister Girls, follow me now, I'm moving on.

You have been shacking up with a man, no wedding in sight.

Playing house every day and night.

He has 3 children by two other women, including the one you had with him.

You stick by his side even though YOU KNOW his other kids,

he DOES NOT really take care of them!

He lets his $50.00 a month child support check,

a few sets of clothes per year and The Friend Of The COURT

sort it out! What kind of man is he?

Sister, still you player-hate the other babies because you don't want to face the fact that you were not his only lady.

WAke UP BABY!

What do you think he did before you met him?

Anyway, I just do not understand why you player-hate the babies?

What kind of woman ARE YOU to be with a man who WON'T

take care of his kids the right way?

Suppose he dumps YOUR BABY?!

sISTER gIRLS...

Some of us out here just don't understand.

We just don't get it!

Some of us want a man so bad...

we'll take him anyway we can get him!

(I say we, as support

because men tend to clump us all together anyway... WOMEN!)

Part 2 of Sister Girls TO BE CONTINUED ON NEXT WEEKS COLUMN...STAY TUNED

On THE jOB, 2 Faced Co-workers

On THe jOB post is about:
Dealing with co-workers AND management.
How we handle different situations on the job.
This article is written to inspire PERSONAL GROWTH.
We ALL could use some of that! This article is Not for bashing!
For the sake of not running out of material for this one,
as I will write about others experiences,
I will also use some of my own personal experiences.
Did you hear that! This is about growth people, NOT a place for your excuses on why you do what you do!
By the way, EXCUSES, are NOT reasons!

Moving on,
People handle situations differently and often it is good to hear how people are handling them. In fact, we need to HEAR ABOUT certain situations occurring on the job, because we may just find ourselves being involved in some of them whether we are the good guy or the bad. Sometimes you have to do some "man in the mirror "stuff. Michael Jackson, you were onto something there brother!
WOO HOO!! Sometimes WE, (YOU or I) are the cause of some stuff that need to be fixed!

Today's topic is: TWO FACED CO-WORKERS

I have worked and STILL WORK with people like that and I have found it very invigorating to just ignore them although, I'd rather not have to do that. I enjoy people! Unfortunately we often work with people who donot have appealing behavior, but we still have to work with them and find a way (for our own sakes) to work well with them. Because of that, I have spoken to someone about their behavior towards me, then there are others aren't worth the trouble.
I just make sure to monitor my own actions and behavior!

As far as the Two-Faced person or people are concerned. See, I have learned in my life that "Happy People" and people who are living in a mature state of being DO NOT HAVE TIME nor desire to spread negativity onto other people! ...
"Misery loves company" some wise person once said and I just choose not to take on other peoples misery.

Most people who see me on the job or have worked with me know that I am a friendly person, I absolutely enjoy people and I will talk to ALMOST ANYBODY seemingly pleasant! For some people, it bothers them when I am not smiling. I am not sure why?. Some days, when I am around certain people at work, I really am not enjoying myself so that accounts for some of the not smiling. I just want to get on with it, but when we are in each others presence,
I am always polite, never letting them change who I am!

I don't enjoy TWO FACED people, and those who continually prove that they ARE NOT worth my time by being two separate people in and out of my direct presence. By the way, the voice can be heard further than you think! Most people do not whisper well.

While I do presently work in a wonderful atmospheric place, it is true that I see some of these kind of people on my job every day. Some I work closely with, others I come across going to the job, or while in a different departments or when I am leaving the job for the night.

My feeling about Two Faced people is, two faces, if you don't like someone then stop wasting your energy and just move on! Because I personally, am fine if you just walk past me. Trust me, my life will go on just fine and you won't continue to look like the miserable, unknowing, childish fool that you apparently are!

People who smile in your face and talk behind your back. How do you handle that?

MEETTA TALKS, PosT #1

Have you yet figured out that your life is about the journey? Well, I have. On the journey, I have found many great lessons that I have continued to share. I would like to share some with you. One of my favorite sayings is, "To be early is to be on time, To be on time is to be late and to be late is unheard of".

Now before you say..."HUH?" Let me explain.
Say for example this is in context to timeliness pertaining a job. Most bosses are not OK with constant lateness. Running in just when you are supposed to be there...on time, then you've got to hang your coat up, use the restroom, sneak in that quick cup of Joe or swig of water, then breathless you step out onto the office floor or in your cubicle 10 minutes late...(technically).

But, when you get to work early, you do all these things..hang up your coat, get a cup of Joe, say hey to Harry ( the office sweetie who always brings donuts and really cares when he says How are you doing? and you respond back spilling out all of your secrets and problems, never having to worry about Harry spilling the beans), then you sashay by your bosses desk and on purpose let them know you are there 10 minutes ahead of everyone else. Today, you are not the one the boss is embarrassing in the morning briefing for delaying the office while we wait for you. Besides, when you are early, if something goes wrong while you are on your way, say you get a flat tire, then you have time to still make it to your destination in a timely manner. BUT...

If you leave just in time enough to get there and something happens then you may not be so timely and become late.

Late on the other hand, bosses don't want to deal with because it show IRRESPONSIBILITYYYYYY! Sing it with me now.."IRRESPONSIBILITYYYYYYY!

So my dear bloggers, take a lesson from my life and remember...."To be early is to be on time,
To be on time is to be late AND to be late is unheard of"

My dear friends this is the end of todays post of "Meetta Talks'
