My Moms was offered a modeling contract in NYC when I was about 3 and my Big Mama would not let her go. She was afraid that they would turn my Moms into a prostitute. She still says she regrets to this day not going to live in the city, but we visited relatives so much we might as well have lived there anyway......<br /><br />I do not understand what is so hard about plugging the damn leak in the Gulf. I know I am no engineer or nothing, but this shit here is just ridiculous. Oh and Kitt, did you hear about the Preachers saying in their Sunday service that the gulf "accident" is God's way of punishing Obama for giving Israel the side eye?

I'm...Ahh... to get in the mind of a parent. :)<br /><br />I'm going home this weekend. I'll be home for close to a week.<br /><br />My BFF is in a city 2 hrs from where I'll be. I mentioned to my mother I might take a day trip down to see him. I've learned that life is best done in ways that make my mother happy so even though she couldn't tell me no, I knew she wanted to.<br /><br />We talked, she expressed her frustration and then I got frustrated.<br /><br />In the end, she admitted that she was probably projecting her own issues (my uncle who lived with us my whole life -- and definitely one of her closest brothers/friends died recently) on to me. "Don't let me put my fears in front of you doing things you want to do..." she told me.<br /><br />I have to say, over the years, my mother surprised me. When I would want to go on trips, she would almost never say no, but I know she wanted to. I know she missed me. I'd come back and have new things (once, an entirely new bedroom suit). Anyway, this meant that when she did tell me "no" I knew I didn't have a lot of room to argue back (doesn't mean I didn't try, though).<br /><br />Like I said -- oh to get inside the mind of a parent.A.Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10542810587986768786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-32102857812896020162010-06-27T12:56:46.874-04:002010-06-27T12:56:46.874-04:00Got to confess to making several stops at the &quo...Got to confess to making several stops at the "Me back in the day" pic.

I loved the place. Both of my children were born there and I can't hear the name without feeling a warm nostalgia creep into my soul.<br /><br />What happened there right after Katrina and even now just breaks my heart.<br /><br />I also live about 100 miles from Savannah. I've never actually been there, though I did stop for gas at one of the exits once. I keep meaning to go so that I can stop by Paula Dean's restaurant.

It feels odd saying this because I like New Orleans, but I'm sorry to hear you live there, or at least I will be if things get worse there. <br /><br />Well, so many people are praying for a miracle that maybe we have our first: I just read that Tropical Storm Alex has a good chance of bypassing the oil slick area and keeping west to Mexico.Kit (Keep It Trill)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03027769872237001801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-24374606979238104712010-06-26T20:31:53.195-04:002010-06-26T20:31:53.195-04:00I did my small part to counteract the "it'...I did my small part to counteract the "it's raining oil" hysteria by shooting my own video. <a href="http://bigsole.blogspot.com/2010/06/today-on-as-oil-swirls-is-it-raining.html" rel="nofollow">I didn't see oil nor smell it.</a><br /><br />Great post. I could see me having similar concerns about my child going off to a coastal city, but since I'm in New Orleans, I can't avoid potential exposure. However, I don't think you should worry so much.

Sifting thru the stories is like panning for gold. <br /><br />Thanks to you and Oso for the compliment on my linking the Gulf War Syndrome to TILT. I haven't seen that connection written about yet, but it would not surprise me if it's crossed the minds of others, particularly in the military or at FEMA. <br /><br /><b>Rippa</b>, Yes and no.<br /><br /><b>Val</b>, Agreed. The use of Corexit is the ONE THING that burns me up! This is followed by the mass media's near soft balling the questions and the President's not uttering a word of protest when BP continued using it after he said stop. And yes, it is bizarre - and suspicious - that no large media has done independent testing. I could rant for years about the poisoning the Gulf.<br /><br /><b>Oso</b>, I really, really appreciate you comment. And yeah, I was most def a "wow" back in the day, lol.

If I'd known anyone was going to quote me the way you have, I'd have cleaned it up, so I could show my Mama. <br /><br />Your blog is the first place I've seen someone make a connection between the Gulf War Syndrome symptoms and the things I'm sure we'll see more of as the chemicals dumped on the Gulf begin to make their way through the whole ecosystem. <br /><br />I've been worried about the pregnant women. I think if someone I loved was pregnant and anywhere near the sight or smell of this, I'd want them to temporarily relocate, just to be safe.

The MSM doesn't give us the information we really need to understand what's going on. <br /><br />For instance the media hardly ever talks about all of the Corexit being dumped into the Gulf anymore. So it's hard to know if that's why people are getting sick around the Gulf or not. Also I keep wondering why no media outlet has done any independent testing of the air and water there.<br /><br />Anyway, I def understand because this spill worries me too. Also I heard that some east coast Governors are getting worried about the oil fouling their beaches soon.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15297338462983613290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-31521670530585272112010-06-26T12:44:01.024-04:002010-06-26T12:44:01.024-04:00Maybe God guided your mother, if you'd moved t...Maybe God guided your mother, if you'd moved to FLA without family around you might've drifted further into the Gulf.<br /><br />Connecting this to Gulf War syndrome-see, along with enjoying your writing, I enjoy how you connect the dots before others do. <br /><br />You are dealing with your daughter from many angles, all of them with love.<br /><br />I think the same way we're being lied to about how bad our economy and economic prospects for the future are for working people, a larger cover up exists for the Gulf disaster. Not conspiracy stuff, rather re-election and consumer confidence and keep the asset and bond market's buying stuff.<br /><br />We are an Empire, no question.And the cracks are spreading in the walls.

In reality Kit, there are so many things that we cannot protect our children from. We try and we worry all the time in our private moments. But, who knows besides God what lies in store for us as a nation of people? <br /><br />If the conditions are right-let you baby girl go and enjoy herself. If you pray-then do so about the trip and then trust God to do as promised.

I blog to remember where my head was at a specific point in time. <br /><br />I'm thinking now how revealing one's fears is always risky because it's "not cool". Black Americans are the coolest people in the universe, or so we'd like to think. We're supposed to be strong, and not worrying about shit comes with that territory. It's all a show and I suspect that if not now, that in time more people will have these lip-biting moments and wonder if they and the country have lost their damn minds as this catastrophe progresses.Kit (Keep It Trill)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03027769872237001801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-78947270674153232662010-06-26T02:54:00.748-04:002010-06-26T02:54:00.748-04:00I feel ya, Kit.
