JJYOU:
Hehehehe

I sowwy. . . . https://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/5.gif

when are you coming up with another production of your good wife series?

though you are a prankstar, you make loads of sense.

As soon as the just too Good to be true men remove the price they placed for my head and I get the Baby back in my Jinx

JJYOU:
good ole first wives club.  hollywood funny people.

marraige is a good thing. it is a brilliant concept. in my opinion it is not for everyone.

Exactly!  

And the sooner people realize that, the better for us all!!

OH MY GOD!!! I was just going to post that!!

This is how I sing it in the shower https://www.barbandgreg.com/images/Emoticons/singer.gif

You don't own me,
I'm not just one of your many toys
You don't own me,
don't say I can't go with other boys

And don't tell me what to do
And don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display, 'cause

You don't own me,
don't try to change me in any way
You don't own me,
don't tie me down 'cause I'd never stay

Oh, I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

I'm young and I love to be young
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want
To say and do whatever I please

(Instrumental interlude)

A-a-a-nd don't tell me what to do
Oh-h-h-h don't tell me what to say
And please, when I go out with you
Don't put me on display

I don't tell you what to say
Oh-h-h-h don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you

I'm young and I love to be young
(FADE)
I'm free and I love to be free
To live my life the way I want

LoveAlways:
The bolded text is how I feel about it.  It is more of a compliment to me that we can be together without paper bonding us together.  [size=18pt]I think that piece of paper is like a deed or a declaration of ownership.  I do not want to own anyone and no one owns me.[/size]  And I agree again, the stigma and shame of divorce is another act of the ego.  If one needs to divorce and find happiness elsewhere, they should be able to do so without shame or fear of how society and nosey neighbors might view them.

Do I have your permission to make t-shirts, face cap, key rings, bumber stickers and anything else with the bolded? Please? Please Pretty Pleaaaaaaaaaaase? https://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/63.gif

JJYOU:
you still havent answered a simple question.  have you changed your diet recently?  you are making too much sence .  most people by their lifestyle and selfishness should for ever be single.marraige is very good but you must  never marry a person you cannot live without.  marraige is hard work and always worth it if you find the right person

I have been making sense lately??

Hehehehehe. . . I swear, I don't if i should be offended or complimented!

Seriously though, it's sad when people get married only because they think it's the only way to keep the other person. I am not against marriage, far from it. . . I think the wedding gowns are beautiful . I just think do it for the right reasons. . . and those reasons to me are

1) You want the same last names because you don't want people having a hard time addressing a letter to both of you
2) You. . . You. . . errr. . . hmmm. . . https://smiley.onegreatguy.net/hmm.gif

Okay, the ink on my keyboard is finishing, let me go get more and I'll continue with my reasons. https://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/word/brb.gif

Hehehehe

Aah, don't mention it. . . and you're welcome https://smiley.onegreatguy.net/bow.gif

I agree with you that marriage isn’t necessary. I won’t feel this way, if some people don’t think marriage is a way to lock you in. . . signed, sealed and delivered, stick a fork in it, it’s done, fait accompli!!!

After marriage, most people tend to be complacent; they feel they don’t have to work hard at the relationship aspect of it. . . why should they, they are already married. Then the taking each other for granted begins….”Oh she’s my wife now, she ain’t going nowhere/He’s my husband now, he'll always be there!” Pretty soon, they are miserable but can’t get out or rather they are hard pressed to get out of because of the stigma of divorce. 

In my opinion, a relationship in its truest sense is when someone has every opportunity to leave but they don’t and the beauty is in knowing two people want to be together because they want to and not because they are compelled to by a piece of paper. https://smiley.onegreatguy.net/firstkiss.gif

Now THIS is the romance scam alert that should be on the home page.

[B]The Day the earth Stood Still[/b]

How do I put this delicately. . . Rubbishly, horribly bad, bad, bad, bad! Why oh why do they still cast Keanu Reeves in movies?

Even small Jayden Smith was very, very good. That little boy sure is cute.

Jennifer Connelly phoned in her performance. . . So sad to watch.


[B]Nothing like the Holiday[/b]
Soul food +Tortilla Soup + Home for the Holidyas + The Familly Stone = Nothing like the Holidays.

Can't say it was good, can't say it was bad. . . I mean you'll leave the theater feeling all warm and fuzzy. Nice if you're into all the family lovey dovey at christmas time.

Had a few laughs, which was a welcomed relief after the horribleness of The Day The Audience went to sleep. . . I mean the Earth Stood Still.

@ Tha_Dude
Twin Ke? Why do I need a twin when I can be Mary myself? Just sayin' oh

Of course a guy can be seduced against his will but only in Nigeria oooooh . . .thank heavens for Turn him to Zombie Juju, I tell ya, I don't know what we would have done without it with all this shakara doing men.

This is just making the front page. . . what has been discussed extensively for months on the romance section, the General discussion section and even the politics section?! Way to be so on top of the ball there https://www.clipartof.com/images/thumbnail/2014.gif

Jodesky:
Tha Dude,

If you can read between the lines, you would realise that John1234 is not alone in this deal, he's got loads of sponsors and collaborators, so no matter how hard you try to make them see reason, your words of caution will continue to land on deaf ears.
I bet the John1234 is either a pseudonym of the advocates here or working in concert with them. Now you can see the selective amnesia displayed by some self-appointed enforcers here. Now that one of their own is being stripped naked, they now start sermonising about rule of law.

Whoever is ready to hit his head again the rock is at liberty to send money to John1234 of Canadian Motors, Ajegunle. The vehicle will arrive in his lifetime,, HOPEFULLY.

Oh drats! We’ve been found out. Aww, man. . . Now I’ve got to mobilize the rest of the gang, get them to the batcave and rethink our strategy! You my man, are a cleaver, cleaver man. . . Sure can’t get nothing past your brilliant mind! I salute you. https://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z167/jj74gt/salute.gif

wwheelz:
jodesky, please tell me you did not just accuse sisi jinx  and "some self-appointed enforcers" (igwe, I think he's referring  to you) of being in cahoots with john1234. What were you thinking

All sisi's doing is having what I would describe as an intellectually stimulating conversation with tha dude about some of his conclusions. I'm yet to see where she has endorsed dealings with our dear john1234. I suggest you stay focused and address your response to her utterances instead of heading in the wrong direction with this. Just because someone is questioning tha dude's conclusions doesn't mean they have a partnership going with john.

A guy who gets it!!!!! https://www.deafonline2.com/xforums/images/smilies/faintthud.gif How. . . Why. . . What. . . I mean, thank you. . . seriously, THANK YOU kind sir! https://www.thisboardrocks.com/forum/images/smilies/tt1.gif

Siena:
^^^ Well said.

Siena!!! You are back!! https://www.thisboardrocks.com/forum/images/smilies/Woot_Emoticon.gif You sure are a sight for sore eyes! Went into a mini depressive state when I heard you had. . . Ya know but I’m glad you are back!!

Wait. . . you are our Siena, right?

@ Topic
Rotflmao! Iya Oko Bournvita.

Seriously, though no one can fault you for being nice in the beginning. . . you just didn't know you were dealing with a longer throat. Next times she asks for something, give her a fraction of it and just go pitifully pathetic on her "Ah mommy I am so sorry, I want to give me but by the time I did this and that, this is what remained. As a matter of fact, I am still trying to find a way to ask [insert boyfriend's name] to borrow me some money to do this and that but I am so shy because I don't want him to think I spend money anyhow"

And if that doesn't work, tell her to bugger off. . . Lmao! I am just kidding ooh. Respect your mother in law, after your husband she is your next god.

Seven Pounds
Almost fell into a coma watching this movie. 
I thought it was going to be convoluted in that awesome kind of way.
Sadly the only thing convoluted is Will actually picking this movie to star in.
What is interesting, is the song playing near the ending of the movie.[/color]

Oh my God, I thought I was the only one because I am not a big Willie Boy fan.

That movie was a snoooooooooooooozer! Honestly, I couldn't tell you what happened if my life depended on it.

I think Will Smith is just going for blockbuster instead of quality. . . don't blame him though, The Church of $cientology does not joke 


Changeling was good, Jolie does dramatic roles well.

^^^^^^^
Tee hee hee!


@ Topic
You deserve better than that abeg, I say let her carry her stinky self and go.

Bridget, I beg you stop explaining yourself. You said it, no matter what you say. . . people who want to find fault in it, will find fault. You know who you are, you know what you are, you know your truth and you don't owe anybody here any explanation.

At the end of the day, we are all faceless writers on an online forum who, despite how strongly worded or opinionated our posts are, don't have any bearing on anyone's real life.

@Osisi
I can’t stop laughing at your stories.

A few months ago, I took my nephew to a birthday party held at a park. The party went very well, apart from the whole . . . daddies standing on the other side of the park, totally disconnect from the group, drinking their Hyyynikins part, of course. Anyway, when the party ended and it came time to clean up,  the few of us guests who had offered to help did so, carrying on like happy little beavers, picking stuff off the grass, emptying large gorodoms and basias of ice (took two of us to carry one), taking packs drinks, empty and half empty coolers to the cars, dismantling the rented chairs and putting them back on the rack like the rental company instructed. . . . We, WOMEN all of us. . .  and the men? Gisting away like old biddies in a nursing home. Yes, not one even the smallest muscle in their body moved to our direction

After I caught my finger for the fifth time folding the chairs, I thought. . .  Nah! Nah! that it, I not about to lose a nail over a party that had nothing to do with me and mine. If the husband’s puny brain cannot tell him. . . "Hey man, put the discussion on hold and go help your wife fold the 150 chairs used for your child's party" and she does not have the guts to say “Honey, do you mind helping me with these”. . .  then it is their problem, not mine. So I washed my hands. . . literally and figuratively speaking, went to fetch my nephew, ready to say my adios to them and what did I see. . . the celebrant’s mother, her sister and a friend struggling to dismantle to the freaking tent!

I'll give you a mental picture

On this corner we have the celebrant's daddy, his uncle and about three or four of daddy’s friend, standing, talking and drinking, the average weight and height for all six men is probably 230lb and 6ft. On the other corner are three women, average weight and height 180lb and 5.6, attempting to take a 27’ by 42’ tent (I asked. . . for when I tell people).  I could not believe it. I understand not playing with the kids, I understand not logging bags of ice back and forth but this. . . nah!  I was so angry, I thought what should I do? I came up with two options, stump my feet on the floor like a brat or scream . . . so I screamed and when I got their attention, I said It was because I thought the tent was about to fall on the women. The men looked at the women and the women looked at me because they knew the tent wasn’t about to do jack!

So did these men put their drinks down to go help the women immediately? No, the husband had to ask if she needed help and what did she say “If you don’t mind” Having gotten the confirmation that they won't be doing a task the women can do, all of them with their potbellies, waddle over to the tent and started dismantling it.

This is not an isolated event, you see them everywhere. . .

At the malls, hands in pocket, nary a care in the world, while their wives struggle with four shopping bags while also trying to keep the out of control children in line

At the airport, sitting in the driver’s side as their wives struggle to get her luggage out of the trunk. . . after having to remind him to open it and heaven help her if she does not get it out on time, she will be eating car dust.

At church. . . walking nonchalantly in front of the carseat and diaper bag carrying woman.

At the grocery store, sitting in the car watching their wives load bags and bags of grocery in the trunk.

Once asked a guy if he’d bath his children, his answer “You mean if their mom is sick?” and It wasn’t a joke.

How anyone can deny that this happens. . . is beyond me. I think I prefer 4Play’s blatant and unapologetic sexism (coz you know where you stand and what to expect with him) to turning a blind eye and acting like it’s all our heads. I mean what’s this supposed to be. . . . folie a plusieurs? If you aren’t like this, it doesn’t mean other men aren’t. If you haven’t witnessed it, it by no means mean it does not exist. My grandma used say when 1 person says 10 people are bad, then that 1 person needs to check himself and if 10 people say 1 person is bad, then that person really has issues. Many women, black, multicolored fair, tall, short and average, from North to south, east to west are saying the same and it’s not like we have a secret monthly meeting where we meet and conspire to bring up false charges against men, we aren’t so bored we think the only way to get some excitement is to say these things about men.

Seriously, we needn’t look further than the threads on Nairaland to see the mentality some men carry for women. Why is it that when a woman is firm about her stance on an issue, she is called frustrated, bitter, a spinster, who has no man and will never marry? Why?!! Last night, on the auto section (and now someone is thinking. . . what was she doing there in the first place? Lmoa) I called a guy out for something and he asked me if I’m on my period, this was after he told me he can’t be bothered to explain it to me since I will never understand it . . . Rotflmao! I mean It’s so freaking sad that you are too shocked to get upset and all you can do is laugh. . . which, by the way, is exactly what I did when I read 4Play’s posts. 

are u @ that time of u month?

Okay, now this is beyond freaky! How did you know? Wait a sec, did. . . did you get that using your formula? 

Rotflmao! Oy Vey! I'm sure somewhere in my earlier posts I mentioned that I have no doubt there is something off about John. My fascination is with your wuruwuru to the answer formula. It makes no sense and you trying to pass it off as something it isn't. . . is laughable. Finding out where I am, my dear forensic expert is no big accomplishment because I am certain I've mentioned it in one of my posts.

Let's focus on your Psycho babble which as I said is nothing but babble, so just admit it and let's give it a rest.

Who am I? Just think of me as the errr. . . Profiler of the Profilers, the Buster to the crime busters.

500,000? 100,000?

Rotflmao! Love how they are spouting out numbers like they know anything about anything. Yeah, We'll just ignore the fact that the Embassy in Atlanta has no freaking idea what the one in DC is doing, has done or will be doing and vice versa. And the one in New York well you can just forgedaboudit, I doubt they have anyone at that office. . . if they have one. All you get is the the voicemail. . . the already full voicemail.

So how exactly they come up with these numbers when they don't even have time to meet with the Nigerians in America is totally beyond me. On second thoughts, they could have used the latest Juju in the market - The Counting the Number of people going to Nigeria Juju. I hear it is pretty accurate give or take 100,000.
