I kind of think P.Diddy is selfish because everyone he produces he HAS to be in their video! Can you tell what video you ain’t seen him in for Bad Boy Entertainment!he just made himself famous by that.

People still write checks? Really? No…REALLY? Hell, even my RENT is paid with a money order!

Wow, you learn something new every day!

Ok, I know that some folks like to blame Bush for everything but your inability to write checks using money you don’t have is not his fault. I do believe that has been illegal since the Dems were in office.

I was curious to read the article on Diddy … I can’t lie … I acutally like the man.

There was a sentence, however, that made me go hmmmmmmmm.

“No matter how dope Biggie was, he was a fat, dark, unattractive rapper with a lisp and mostly dark subject matter.”

Now I’m certainly not here to say that you are being dishonest … but I have always had an issue with the tone of one’s skin being portrayed as something negative.

I’m a dark brown woman. It reminds me of the days (and they haven’t gone away) when people say, “you’re cute to be dark.” WTF?? What if he was light … would that have been mentioned in the list of all things negative about Biggie??

Not trying to fuss … that’s just one of my peeves.

When it comes to writing checks Bomani, I used to be the King of check-witing. So, let me break it down for you. I wrote checks because I either didn’t have the money in the account ,or, wanted to use the ‘check float’ to allow for a direct deposit to be made, or, to earn a few more days interest on the money I already had in my account.

Unfortunately, Bush and his cronies have ended all that. The new Reg21 Banking Act will allow our banks to send digital images of checks to each other for cashing/depositing checks. This means that the old school ‘float time’ of 2-5 business days will be a thing of the past by years end.

I recommend everybody get a checking account card, (if you don’t already ahve one), and keep checks for gifts to nieces and nephews or you may end up paying a lot of bounced check fees in the very near future.

peace always,

Man, a major pet peeve. A check is just a polite way of saying “I don’t have the cash, so my ATM card won’t work. However, if you wait long enough, this check just might go through.” The only thing worse is someone buying more shit than they have the money for and watching them try to whittle down the order one item at a time. “Is that enought yet? No? Ok, leave the 50 gallon tub of ice cream and put the baby formula back…”

Some people need to be slapped on principle, for the good of society.
