Plastic Surgery
A very sexually active woman tells her plastic surgeon that she wants her
vaginal lips reduced in size because they were loose and flapping.Out of embarrassment she insisted that the surgery be kept a secret andthe surgeon agreed.
Awakening from the anesthesia after the surgery she found three rosescarefully placed beside her on the bed. Outraged, she immediately callsin the doctor. "I thought I asked you not to tell anyone about my operation!"
The surgeon told her he had carried out her wish for confidentiality andthat the first rose was from him: "I felt sad because you went throughthis all by yourself."
"The second rose is from my nurse . She assisted me in the surgery andempathized because she had the same procedure done some time ago."
"And what about the third rose?" she asked."Oh, that rose is from a man upstairs in the burn unit. He wanted to thank
you for his new ears."

R&B singer Gerald Levert dead at 40
Gerald Levert, the R&B singer whose hits included "I Swear" and "I'd Give Anything," as well as chart-toppers with the groups LeVert and LSG, has died, according to his label, Atlantic Records. He was 40.
Levert died of a heart attack Friday at his Cleveland, Ohio, home, according a statement from Atlantic.
"He was one of the greatest voices of our time, who sang with unmatched soulfulness and power, as well as a tremendously gifted composer and an accomplished producer," the statement read. "Above all, he was an exceptional human being whose warmth and grace inspired us all."
Levert, the son of O'Jays member Eddie Levert Sr., first hit it big with his sibling Sean and friend Marc Gordon as the trio LeVert in the mid-'80s. The group's hits included the 1987 song "Casanova," which hit the Top Five on the pop charts.
Gerald Levert went solo in 1991. His hits included a duet with his father, "Baby Hold On to Me."
In 1997 he and singers Johnny Gill and Keith Sweat formed LSG. The group's self-titled album sold more than two million copies, and their hits included "My Body."
More recent albums by Levert included 2002's "The G Spot" and 2004's "Do I Speak for the World."
His most recent album was 2005's "Voices."
Levert had four children.

A broken heart speaks
As Luther Vandross croons 'there is nothing better than love'. But love has eluded me.
I would like to be in love once again, but I have came to the realization that will never happen. I am confined to the world of bitterness and hatred for the rest of my years. All of my friends around me have love in their lives, but as for me, love simply haunts me. I bury myself into work and family, thinking that will ease the pain. It doesn't.
Men will come and go promising me the world, but nothing will change my broken heart.
People tell me to be patient, and that love will find its way. My question is, how long should I be patient for love to find me? I cry myself to sleep asking why is love eluding me. No one answers. The mere thought brings tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat. Maybe if I hated myself I don't have to deal with the pain. That won't work because I love myself and everything that comes with it.
I shall continue in this life time without love, and make the adjustments.

the final straw
From: Prince
Date: 3, 2006 8:25 PM For one I am telling the truth but like normal you are the victim and had no part in any wrong doing! as far as my brother goes I told to him today and yesterday so I know you are not telling the truth about that! Now as far as other people go if they want to talk to me they can if not god bless them and like the book says when you start getting closer to the lord you find out who your true friends are! So if they are like that then god dont want them in my life so I am still blessed! So like I said I am blessed and fine with life just wish you the same! so if this the last email I wish you well~

Aw! You used that same tactic for years to get what you wanted. Now when I use it on you, I'm wrong.
As far as Damon goes you still know how to lie - very badly. Prior to yesterday, you haven't talked to him in over 4 years, yet you still want to call him your brother??! How could you treat your best friend like that! Don't worry, I am taking care of him now, so your 'friendship' isn't necessary. Like I told you, no one, including Damon, wants to have anything to do with you. You are a pathological liar who is trying to use God to get in our good gracious. God removed you from my life before you could do any more emotional harm, and has blessed me with a man that understands the pain that I endured with you and want me to be completely happy and at peace. If you are really saved, then you need to go ahead and marry Natalie and prove to her how you failed me and your first marriage. Once a cheater, always a cheater, and you have an excellent track record.

ex-hubby's remarks
From: Prince
Date: Oct 1 2006 9:27 PM
First of all when I said I love you that was no LIED! An when you I said I would never hurt you That was not a lie either! YOU was the one to hurt me by what you did by not being their for me in my most trying time in my life like a wife was suppose to be! Now this hit you are talking about I never said thier was and if thier was and at that point in my life I dont think I would even tell you iif that was on or not! I have said before I was sorry for the things that went down after you was caught doing what you was doing! First of all You broke us apart I just reacted to what was done and I was happy in marriage with you until you was not thier for me when I need you and you did what you did with Ivory remember that! You had started it all by doing that but I am here to not relive that I just wanted to know how you and Wanya was doing and why you move back home and to see if you was ok! So if I have to once again say I am sorry for the things I did after you did what you did to end our marriage with IVory and not being thier for me in my greatest hour of need then I am Saying it Now I AM SORRY! So why did you move home?
The reason I asked was because you was not thier for me in my greatest time of need and the fact the one and most important thing in the marriage was gone and that was TRUST and at that time I could not or would not deal with not having that in my life I need my WIFE to be the back bone for me at that time in my life and trust her to hold me up when I was weak and you did not do that!

Make spell check your friend!!!! I have never seen a person that has a degree and can't spell at all! Oh that’s right…. You don’t have anyone to do it for you.
You claim that I hurt you, wasn’t there for you when you ‘needed me most’, and that you didn’t trust me anymore. When what that???? Was that the time that you were running to Creedmoor to see Tonya and her little band of minions, hanging out with the Married Men Club, or taking phone calls from "your psychiatrist" (I can only assume that was Natalie) until 3AM??? I really lost count on that one. Oh now I remember… you lost all your marbles when Damon got locked up. Now I see why Damon said that you don’t know how to function without him. I couldn’t trust you as far as I could throw you!
Then you have the nerve to blame our failed marriage on Ivy???? The only reason why you are trying to blame this on her is because she didn’t want to sleep with you. Now I want you to recall this conversation. I recall asking for permission to take that step. Apparently you were not man enough to handle it. Any other guy would have loved it and encouraged it. All you had to do was say stop, and it would have been a done deal. But no, that isn’t Prince’s style, and here we are. She had nothing to do with this marriage. It was going to fail from the moment I said I do. I knew that you would never take the vows of marriage seriously because you did not have your head (and not the little one between your legs) on straight. I have never cheated on you, so I know that everything that you were accusing me of is what you were doing. Enough said!
I would like to take this time out to say thank you. Thank you for opening my eyes to the bullshit that you dished out. The man that will have my heart will know the crap that you put me through and appreciate everything that I bring to the relationship. He will also know that communication is the key in my relationship, in which you failed to do. You have made me a stronger woman than what I was before. Now I can truly say to you fuck you and the horse that you rode in on.
There is nothing more for you and I to discuss. Now show this to your future wife Natalie and tell her I said thank you for taking you out of my hair and out of my life!

First of all you wait till my life was falling about to ask me something like that so who took advantage of who? Now as far as Tonya went she was a married woman was a good friend to me in my time of need nothing ever happen between me and here till after you and I split! Natalie did not happen till after we split! and as far as IVY I did sleep with Ivy! So I can an have functioin with Damon because I had to because you sure was not their for me like a wife should be! Now I have extended a branch to try and be civil with you not relive the past and to pass blame I have said I sorry but you are still a bitter woman after all this time! i just want to say hi and wish you and your son well and was just wondering why you move back to DC! So I hope GOD bless you and help you! You still dont see that I am only trying to be friendly to you and want nothing bad for you or your family I am here only to say hi and wish you well that is all and maybe we can talk as adults ever now and then not with the problems i dont hate you I dont have any bad feelings in my heart towards you just was hoping that we could talk ever now and then So I am not stalking you I just wanted to know why you move home! and was hoping that you have talked to Rose , Angie, and Marlon so it is up to you if you pass along my information on how to reach me here at myspace!

My Ex-hubby rears its ugly head..... AGAIN
hey there... the ex-hubby is at it again, and this time, it is no laughing matter. He (apparantly) has been 'stalking' me on Myspace.com and waited for the right moment to stike. Unfortunately, I know all of his secrets and tricks, and this one is no exception. Below is an excerpt of our convo on myspace. I apologize for any spelling errors... he never fared well in the English language.

A friend? HA! You want me to be your friend???? Let's define the word friend.......
1 a : one attached to another by affection or esteem b : ACQUAINTANCE
2 a : one that is not hostile b : one that is of the same nation, party, or group
3 : one that favors or promotes something (as a charity)
4 : a favored companion
The last time I checked, none of the above applied to you! You verbally and emotionally abused me, used me like a snot rag, lied to me and on me every chance you could, and even wanted me and my son dead. When I asked you years ago the same question, the best you could do is tell me that we have known each other for too long. In short, you have NEVER been my friend. Why don't you do yourself a favor and act like I DO NOT EXIST. HAVE A NICE DAY!

I NEVER LIED To you and you know it I was sorting threw my feeling doing the time we was trying to get back together and when I realized that I was doing either one of us any good I walked away out of respect for you! I am not bitter anymore have not been for a long time and most of all I am now a much better man now! I saw you move home and was considered! Look You are a major of my life so I was concern that all did not mean to cause any problems just want to say hello and was hoping to have a conversation that all I hope you and Wanya are doing great that all!

let me finish what I started.... YOU were the one that told me that you loved me. That was a lie too. YOU also told me that you wouldn't hurt me. Yet I have the physical and mental scars from that as well. (oh yeah, there was no hit out on me from Damon, that was a lie too). Since you claim that you are saved now, all I want you to do is apologize for what you have done to me. Damon apologized on the behalf of you, but I could not accept it from him.

Gone for a Minute.. But I am back!
I know I have been gone for a minute. Well actually for over a month. I got a new position and it is keeping me quite busy and overworked. I have even went to sunny California twice! It is a really nice place to visit, but it reminds me of DC.... REALLY REALLY BUSY! Idid have the oppourtunity to visit Disneyland and see some sights like the Hollywood sign. I would have loved to take a tour of the city, but that didn't fit into the agenda that was laid out for me. I was out in the boonies next to the 60 freeway.
The city is a lot bigger then DC, but somewhere that is not in my agenda.

what a powerful kiss (lol)
As seen on News of the Weird.....
Park Hyatt hotel maid Louise Kelsey, 58, testified in August in Melbourne, Australia, that she was kissed against her will in 2001 by a hotel guest (an Uruguayan soccer player in town for a World Cup match) and suffered a post-traumatic stress disorder that led to her being declared legally blind in 2002. Though a doctor for the defense derided it as "the most powerful kiss in history," the hotel's insurer agreed to its liability in October and said it would negotiate the money amount.

HELSINKI, Finland - Nokia Corp. said Wednesday it is paying $430 million to acquire Intellisync Corp., a provider of wireless e-mail service for cellular carriers, adding to the mobile phone maker's growing arsenal of products to compete with BlackBerry.
The deal comes just two months after Nokia barged into the increasingly crowded field of BlackBerry rivals by becoming the first major handset maker to announce its own brand of mobile e-mail service — essentially becoming a rival to the U.S. company it is now acquiring.
Nokia is offering $5.25 per share in cash for each share of Intellisync, which provides mobile access to e-mail and other desktop information to about 500,000 users through wireless carriers under their own brand names.
The buyout price is below what Intellisync's shares were fetching before the deal announced, and so the stock sagged 41 cents to $5.13 in Wednesday morning's Nasdaq trading, down 7.4 percent. Nokia's U.S. shares slipped 11 cents to $16.92 on the
New York Stock Exchange.
The transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2006.
Nokia announced in September that it was entering the mobile e-mail market with its own application, Nokia Business Center, but said the new service would join rather than replace the existing lineup of mobile e-mail and productivity options available on Nokia devices. Those include BlackBerry from Research in Motion Ltd., GoodLink from Good Technology Inc., and applications from Seven Networks Inc. and Visto Corp.
Intellisync's services are generally rebranded by carriers. For example, the product is sold as Wireless Sync by Verizon Wireless, a joint venture between Verizon Communications Inc. and Vodafone Group PLC.

Actual stupid questions asked
Actual stupid questions asked
Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, in most cases he just passes quietly away and doesn't know anything about it until the next morning?
Q: What happened then?
A: He told me, he says, "I have to kill you because you can identify me."
Q: Did he kill you?
Was it you or your brother that was killed in the war?
The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he?
Q: She had three children, right?
A: Yes.
Q: How many were boys?
A: None.
Q: Were there any girls?
Were you alone or by yourself?
Q: I show you Exhibit 3 and ask you if you recognize that picture?
A: That's me.
Q: Were you present when that picture was taken?
Were you present in court this morning when you were sworn in?
Q: You say that the stairs went down to the basement?
A: Yes.
Q: And these stairs, did they go up also?
Q: Now then, Mrs. Johnson, how was your first marriage terminated?
A: By death.
Q: And by whose death was it terminated?
Q: Do you know how far pregnant you are now?
A: I'll be three months on March 12th.
Q: Apparently then, the date of conception was around January 12th?
A: Yes.
Q: What were you doing at that time?
Do you have any children or anything of that kind?
Was that the same nose you broke as a child?
Q: Mrs. Jones, do you believe you are emotionally stable?
A: I used to be.
Q: How many times have you committed suicide?
So, you were gone until you returned?
You don't know what it was, and you didn't know what it looked like, but can you describe it?
Q: Have you lived in this town all your life?
A: Not yet.
A Texas attorney, realizing he was on the verge of unleashing a stupid question, interrupted himself and said, "Your Honor, I'd like to strike the next question."
Q: Do you recall approximately the time that you examined that body of Mr. Huntington at St. Mary's Hospital?
A: It was in the evening. The autopsy started about 5:30 P.M.
Q: And Mr. Huntington was dead at the time, is that correct?
A: No, you idiot, he was sitting on the table wondering why I was performing an autopsy on him!

divorce, isnt it??
(taken from News of the Weird)
Italy's highest appeals court ruled in March that a divorcing man would have to pay alimony to his ex-wife because he had refused to have sex with her for seven years as punishment for challenging him in a family argument. (Whatever point the husband was trying to make was not disclosed.)

I would like to know something:
why do women argue and fight over men online? I have read a few blogs on Yahoo and I came across one in particular where the estranged wife and the new girlfriend was 'arguing' online. The wife basically put the guy on blast and the girlfriend is calling him 'her future husband'. To me, the situation is pretty childish. I would rather see the 2 girls blasting the guy out than blasting on each other... but that is just me.

CIA Test
CIA test
Three guys are applying for job with the CIA. They got all the way to the final test. So the first guy walks into the directors office and sits down. The director reaches in his desk and pulls out a pistol. Lays it on his desk in front of the guy. Tells him, "This test is to test your loyalty. Take this gun and go up the stairs and go into the first room on your right. Your wife will be in there. Put a bullet in her head." The guy looks at him and says,"no way." So the director says, "You fail."
The next guy comes in. The director tells him the same thing. Guy picks up the gun and head for the room. Comes back about 15 minutes later. Tells the director that he just couldn`t go through with it. The director says, "you fail."
So now the third guy comes in, same scene. Guy heads up to the room. The director hears 3 shots, followed by a whole lot of ruckus (glass breaking, furniture getting smashed). Guy comes back in all beat up and his clothes tore up. The director goes, "What happened to you?" Guy replies, "After three shots I realized that there were blanks in the gun so I had to choke her to death."
Student Insults
Student Insults
It's impossible to believe that the sperm that created this child beat out 1,000,000 others.
The wheel is turning but the hamster is definitely dead.
If this student were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week.
The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.
When your daughter's IQ reaches 50, she should sell.
The student has a "full six-pack" but lacks the plastic thing to hold it all together.
Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.
Your son is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.
I would not allow this student to breed.
Since my last report, your child has reached rock bottom and has started to dig.

Another funny - Its Dark
A woman takes a lover during the day, while her husband is at work. Not knowing that her 9-year-old son is hiding in the closet, her husband comes home unexpectedly, so she puts the lover in the closet with the little boy.
The little boy says, "Dark in here."
The man says, "Yes it is."
Boy - "I have a baseball."
Man - "That's nice."
Boy - "Want to buy it?"
Man - "No, thanks."
Boy - "My dad's outside."
Man - "OK, how much?"
Boy - "$250."
In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the mom's lover are in the closet together.
Boy - "Dark in here."
Man - "Yes, it is."
Boy - "I have a baseball glove."
The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, "How much?"
Boy - "$750."
Man - "Fine."
A few days later, the father says to the boy, "Grab your glove. Let's go outside and toss the baseball back and forth."
The boy says, "I can't. I sold them."
The father asks, "How much did you sell them for?"
The son says "$1,000."
The father says, "That's terrible to overcharge your friends like that. That is way more than those two things cost. I'm going to take you to church and make you confess."They go to the church and the father makes the little boy sit in theconfessional booth and he closes the door.
The boy says, "Dark in here."
The priest says, "Don't start that s... again."
