By Ottavia “Tay” Lang Reaching out to all the ladies for this one…. One of the most irritating things to a woman is to have a man who you’ve been with for years and he hasn’t shown any interest in marrying you yet. I could tell you, perhaps should tell you to “keep hope alive” YES hopes that you would wake up and smell the bacon.  Like the old folks say; why buy the cow when you are getting the milk for free.

By Yolanda Shoshanda For some reason, for a few days I found myself watching the bad talk shows: Maury and Jerry Springer. It was like watching a train wreck but being very entertained. What I noticed during these crazy episodes was that most of the baby mama drama came from interracial couples.
