Rachel Maddow (I know, I know... Whatever; there'd have to be be gags for both of us.)

I came too late to meet him, but saw his posts in the forums from a while back. I'm sending love and hugs to those who will miss him.

You are very welcomed J.

While I am at it, I really should add Jayne33 and Burquette to my list of solid writers I would highly recommend too.


How did I miss this? Thank you so much!

A typical novel is somewhere between 80-100K words. So I've written two of those. Considering this is just a hobby, I guess it's a lot.


I'm envisioning a "Word Whore" badge.

That's absolutely an accomplishment! Congratulations.

I think if you use a primer like Benefit Porefessional, you can use any foundation you would like.

I use Benefits mascaras like They're Real and Roller Lash. I always get travel size so I am not wasting $ and encouraging eye germs


I just googled this. Thank you! It's in my basket on my next trip to Sephora.

There are times when I want to kiss you Burquette when you say wise things or do something that touches my heart. I deeply apologize for saying that to you. Then why did I? Because you put a picture of a woman I was deeply in love with as a kid because in my eyes, she was gorgeous! If one looks at this picture one little bunch of pixels at a time, you will see how truly beautiful she was. Then when you add in her immense talents, the way she sang and danced what was in her heart, it is not hard to figure out why I still feel that way, and MISS HER!!!!!
I wish everyone could see her as I do, and all of the other billions of women who are viewed the same way by no one. Not even themselves.
A woman, even when she is tough, like our Divine Ms. Sprite telling us men she can kick our asses [she is gorgeous too!], deserve to be so viewed IMHO if all she does, in a world that tells her she is NOTHING over and over, is be the best person [first rate] she can be!!!!!

TO WOMEN!!!!!!


Gimme some love, You.

(Psst. Check out the Youtube on my profile. I think it's the best duet I've ever heard. Our divine Judy with a very young Barbra Streisand)

This is both a let-it-out post and one which celebrates the small wins. I think its mostly catharsis. I also cuss a lot, apologies!!



Look at what you survived. My God.

Could anyone recommend a good foundation for oily skin? How about a good pore-reducer?

I like to get my make-up from Sephora. Right now, I use Bare Minerals powder foundation but I'm not getting the coverage I would like. Also, I have to shower a couple of times a day for work, so I'm looking for something that can hold up to steam.

I can share my favorite mascara ever. It's Buxom waterproof black. It holds up all day, even through the aforementioned showers.

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in my forties (probably not long before I joined Lush, actually) so had to back off on the maple syrup. Pancakes just aren't the same without it, though, so I tend to just have them less often and try to use as little syrup as possible. My glucose is still controlled without drugs so I can tolerate a little extra sugar now and then.


I sneak pancakes in now and I use the lite syrup, rather than the sugar-free. I never did get used to it and it has sugar alcohols in it, anyway, which raised my blood sugar.

You have it harder. My diabetes is just insulin replacement. If I can find the right insulin amount and delivery time, I can eat almost anything.

If you're black and your girl is black and she pops out a white, blonde baby... you should put the genetics book on the shelf and call Maury. If by some new age immaculate conception miracle the results come back that it can't be anyone else's but yours or gods you should keep those results in your back pocket because every time you introduce the kid as my son/daughter people are getting going to hit you with awkward silence or a pat on the back for having the gravitas to adopt the mailman's kid.


If you're black and your girl is black and she pops out a white blonde baby, you should call the hospital and see if there's a confused white couple with a back baby.
When I was a kid, I had about five things that I would eat and nothing else for close to two years (bologna sandwiches, spaghetti, PB&J, fried chicken, and cereal).

I love perfume but rarely wear it.

I don't have a favorite color.
One of my childhood traumas was being diagnosed with diabetes and being told that I couldn't have pancakes OR syrup anymore.

We've come a long way, Baby!
I don't dog-ear.

However, I have no problem with laying a book face-down and hurting the spine. Go figure.

Thank you. There is an agenda behind the qurstion and iit is not racist or interfering. I was asking a biological question looking to see if anyone had the knowledge, education or experience to give a biological expanation. Instead I get a volley of abuse and neo-phillosophies that has been rammed into a genration that has been programmed to bight without reason or widdom!


All right, here's your explanation:

The father of the child has a mix-up of genetics from one white parent and one black parent. Of course, skin color isn't the only thing affected. Facial features, hair texture...other things that are far more nature than nurture.

A random half of his genetics are in each of his sperm. A random half of her genetics are in each of her eggs.

Then you go to how those genes interact. There's dominant, recessive, and incomplete dominant genes. Incomplete dominance is when genes are expressed as a blend...like skin color. It isn't just the genetics you get but also which ones are expressed.

So, first you're going to get a different genetic mix and then it's going to be expressed in a unique way. So, as I said above, you can't predict.

With the first mom, it's entirely possible he just contributed a sperm with more genetics from the white side of his family. It's really just a matter of chance. If he'd had a fourth child with her, it's possible that child could represent his ethnicity more. There's no way to know what this child "should" look like, either with a new lady or with the one he's already had children with.

That's without charts or graphs or Punnett squares but I think it counts as 'widdom' and I'm definitely edumacated.

There is no such thing as British, there are the English, The Scots, The Welsh and the Irish,


Thank you for this. I never know. Are you British or English, or do you care? Can I call you European or is that just for the continent? Is my ignorance offensive or is it just obvious I'm American?

Oh, Jesus. It's like an actual nightmare. My grandparents are arguing right now, thinking I don't know because French always sounds angry.

Can anyone answer this conundrum?
A father of an unborn child is mixd race (white / afro-caribean) - and mum-to-be is white.
Given that Dad has three kids from a previous relationship with a white woman and they all appeared to be white, does it follow that the new baby from the new Mum will also follow this trend?

Thanks.


You can't predict. Even with the same parents you can end up with wildly differing appearances:
