Nina’s Top Ten Questions on My Mind
June 3, 2009 by nina
Filed under Nina's Top Ten
1o. Why are there no black people on The Bachelor/Bachelorette? Does ABC assume that people wouldn’t tune in to see 25 black men or women vie for the attention of another? Are there not enough desperate black people trying to get famous find love to participate? VH1 seems to have no problem finding them for Flavor of Love and I Love New York.
9. What is the big deal with this Susan Boyle? So? A fat and ugly woman can sing. There are millions of those singing their fat ugly hearts out in churches across the country every Sunday.
8. How do you clean a dishwasher?
7. Where the hell did I put that $25 iTunes gift card?
6. Why are the best tasting foods (pizza, chocolate, burgers, fries, pie) the worst for you? Why isn’t there an all-hot wings diet?
5. Speaking of which… isn’t everything better with bacon?
4. Does my ass make these jeans look big?
3. Did the south just get together and collectively decide they were going to be sucky drivers? Is this their way of getting us Yankees to go back home?
2. Is it a blessing or a curse that the new Best Buy is literally three minutes from my house?
Which leads to…
1. Why wasn’t I born independently wealthy?

LikeYes, dear everything taste better with bacon. I'm on a hunt to find something that doesn't. Or maybe some dish I don't dig I will just add bacon to appease the chef. lmao!!
And I was wondering the same with the bachelor...we need some black ones!!

LikeI've got just two questions that I'm curious about........
1. Why the hell didn't my husband eat some hot wings, a burger, nachos or whatever at the bar like normal men do when they go out for drinks watching the basketball games and whatnot? Instead he crawls his ass in bed and wakes my tired, pregnant, finally comfortable so i don't want to move ass up, to make what you may asK???? Cinnamon toast. You can't butter your own bread. Here I'm thinking he wants some loving, but nooooo he wants to eat. But I do the good wifey thing and make it anyway.
2. Where did this AirFrance Airbus disappear too? I mean how does an entire plan disappear and is not able to be located or recovered. I read today where all this wreckage they found in the Atlantic Ocean is not the AirFrance flight wreckage in which they thought it to be. Now they are suspecting terrorism. This is sad I'm sure the families are distraught.

Question on my mind? How come Google waits until 11 everyday to tell me about a new blog, instead of when you write it?
Jersey drivers rank up there with southern drivers. I just want to know why southern people are slow at everything they do?

LikeI have the same problem with the google alerts.
I think its the excess of jug handles, and pumping their fists and not their gas, that has jersey drivers all out of whack.

Like1. i dunno, but flavor of love and i love new york are both hot ass messes and so are all the black people in them. No wait I liked that one dude with the dreadlocks but he turned out to be gay. Maybe the bachelor wants the show to have a touch of class and don't want to sift through all the FoL contestants to find someone who can string together a coherent sentence.
6. Because they are full of fat and sugar, two sources of energy which are easy to store or can be used immediately. For hundreds of thousands of years the human body has perfected ways of keeping itself moving and alive despite having only sporadic access to food. (i recently watched a documentary about it) There are also eskimos in canada whose bodies survive on the meat, fat, and marrow of the deer alone. They do not eat any other foods (although they do eat every single part of the deer apart from its hide, blarrrrrgh). When the canadian government attempted to integrate them into society they nearly died of the malnutrition they suffered from eating grains and vegetables.
your body wants protein and fat because it cannot live without it, under any circumstances. sugar is easy to convert to fat which can be stored in time of famine.

Like8. Sears was at my house recently and the repairman asked me if I have cleaned my dishwasher. I know I am supposed to but never understood how. So I lied and said "yes." I was too embarrassed to ask the "man" how. Doh!

Like10. It's so weird, I was just asking about that. I was trying to get one of my friends to nominate me, but then I was like, "Wait, I've never seen a black Bachelor or Bachlorette." I still want in. I could be the first black girl, and I accept guys of all races. It'd be perfect.

LikeEverybody in the world think that the people where THEY live are the worst drivers. I would swear to you that Jersey drivers are the worst... and our insurance rates would seem to support that theory.

Like10. I don't watch any of those shows.
9. I have never heard of her until right now!!
8. Sears sells a thing for 10 bucks you put in upside down every 6 months....but I get ghetto and throw some bleach in the dishwasher every few months and run it through the "heavy" cycle a couple of times.
7. I have no idea girl...I don't even own an Ipod. Best believe my show-boating husband has the best one available on the market!!
6. It goes with the theory of "you always want most, what you can't have". Pretend you can't have carrots and maybe you will eat a gang of 'em. Just kidding, I know that won't work.
5. Yep, and there is this product called Bacon Bacon from "Tastefully Simple" that is the bomb and super low fat.
4. Girl, my ass looks big in any Jeans these days. Sad, but kind of true. I am so working on it though.
3. I don't know about over there, but 'round here, people drive like complete wack jobs more than half of the time!
2. It's both. I hated when C. City left town, but now because I have no other choice, I shop at BB on a regular basis.
1. That would be nice. Then you could give us all some of that wealth.
My question of the week is: Do any of your husbands have PMS? Because sometimes I seriously wonder about the one at my house.

Likeooo I know the dishwasher one. You go to the store and on the cleaning supplies aisle get the bottle of stuff that says "dishwasher cleaner." Then you just take it home and follow the directions. It's really easy. Something like taking the lid off and putting it upside down in the utensil rack and then running the dishwasher with nothing in it.

Likeor better and cheaper yet, put two packs of lemonade koolaid(non sugarred) into soap dispenser and run full cycle empty. this is fabulous!!! better than the dishwasher cleaner! my mom came up with this one, i bought a used dishwasher that had sat in a se tx garage for over 5 yrs, you can imagine how horrible it was, i did this and let me tell you what! it looked AND smelled brand new afterwards!

Like1) You know I was thinking about this a few weeks ago, not even a latino bachelor or bachelorette. Usually they let the white Cubans get in on the action.
On my mind:
Why must you pick at EVERYTHING I do?

7. Look near the iron or vacuum cleaner.

5. yes

LikeIt's fucked up that the only "black reality dating" tv shows are Flavor and I <3 NY. I mean, way to pimp an incorrect stereotype.
You'd think Tyler Perry's ass would'a thought of something by now.
And yes, that's messed up. Usually each season they even throw in one or 2 token black fellas and this season they didn't even bother. Nice.

LikeRe Susan Boyle.
She's fat, ugly and has learning difficulties, so when she walked on Britain's Got Talent, everyone audibly scoffed in the audience, thinking she was another one of those people that sing to their dead, taxidermied parrot and insist it squawks 'Encore'. Instead she sang (I think it was 'Memory') and did so bloody well. Naturally, UK tabloids jumped on it, printing all the stories about how she's never kissed anyone and all the ins and outs of her. Obviously, this has taken it's toll on the poor woman over the past couple of months (she came second in the finale last weekend to a dance act, after what is though to be a publicity stunt when she threatened to quit because she couldn't hack it) and she has now been checked into the Priory clinic for exhaustion etc and I think possibly there were rumblings of phyciatric units and the like.
Basically, the poor woman has been thrust into the lime light without thinking she would, and it's really taken it's toll. I think it's a bit overhyped because, she can sing, but she's isn't fantabulous or anything. Sadly, I live in a country where people cream over stuff like this.

LikeI've heard good and bad about the IUD, I'm considering getting one after my next child is born. My husband and I think we're done with the child bearing days, but I don't want the permanency of the Tubal. I've done some research so far, but I'm still not sure this is the best option. What's you take. If you have any information or know of any sites feel free to send them to me at chynachicka@yahoo.com, Thanx!

LikeI cant express enough how much i love mine. It has balanced out my hormones so I have no moodiness, no acne, no weight gain, no cramps...and my actual cycle lasts maybe a few hours...seriously
The best part is you can change your mind, if i decided that i wanted another child i could get it removed and try immediately
