It would be fun! Bring yo' kids!

Help give back to your community by cleaning up an inner city Detroit park! Volunteer a few hours of your day to re-paint the playground equipment, dispose of the trash and plant some flowers leaving a joyful environment for children and families to play. This fun, volunteer activity will not only be a great networking opportunity, but also rewarding for all involved. Your help will be greatly appreciated by many for years to come! This year's event will be held at Grixdale Park located near 7mile and Dequinder. Directions are... Take I-75 South to exit#58, 7 mile Rd. Turn left on 7 mile and go down a half mile. Turn right on Dequinder and go down 2 blocks to Grixdale. Park will be on your right (NW corner of intersection). Some equipment will be provided, but feel free to bring extra: rakes, lawn-mowers, shovels, weed-whackers/edgers, brooms, gardening equipment, etc. No electrical equipment please, there will be no outlets. Breakfast and lunch will be provided for all. Feel free to bring families, children, co-workers, and friends! E-mail calkinsdmsu@yahoo.com for more info. We hope to see you there!

Thanks, all! And Rev, I just like to periodically correct him. It's just plain fun.

*sigh* It's just awful. I keep waiting for him to call. I'm sane enough to know that he's not, but I still wish...

Ahh...so you've seen me in town, eh? *snort* I'm fine. Tired, wanting a day that's all for me. But otherwise relatively okay or moderately neato.

Well, it's coming up on the one year anniversary of my Dad's passing. I took June 24th off, because I'm not sure how I'm going to feel... I just miss him horribly.

I must now wash my eyes out with lye soap. You're like a son to me, and I think I just vomited in my mouth.

I don't blame you. I don't like smoke, either. I'm asthmatic, and it's not healthy for my lifestyle to be around it at all. Besides, most people don't give a shit whether or not we don't want smoke in our midst. I can only hope for the ban. When it happened in MD, everyone shit themselves over it. Now, the bars are busier than EVER.

Cher: I have a self esteem tip for you. Learn to love the skin that you're in. I hated myself. Growing up, I was too skinny and ugly. I was poor, I didn't have nice things, I was told that I was ugly by everyone in school. I didn't learn to love who I am til I started dating Jeff. I not only love being me and appreciate my body, I fucking DARE anyone to tell me that I'm NOT attractive and that I'm NOT worthy. Your family fucked you up, girl. I'd be telling them to suck a fat one. I skate my fucking ass off (or maybe I'm building a hotter one!), I eat right, I'm beginning to feel different about my heath. I'm getting ready to take yoga with a woman who travels to India and studies with some freakin' awesome yogis. I'm trying out for the Detroit Derby Girls. If I make it, then I fucking rule in MY universe. Even if I don't, I fucking rule in MY universe. OMG...Jeff and I need to get 2 containers of that powder, and he's out of his drops for gout. And I want to know if you guys carry skull cap in capsule form. Thanks!

Like I'm awake, well-fed, and ready to go work this full-bout practice.

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame. Fucking technocrap being played all night. The food was decent, but the wait was long. And I don't get how a vodka & cranberry was free, but Pepsi wasn't. The invites said "Dress to impress," yet a lot of the so-called beautiful people seemed to think that it was perfectly fine to dress liike they lived in or behind a dumpster. L-A-M-E

...be thankful that I left that STUPID Metro Times party.

LOL....that's YOU, sugar plum.

I'm not sure about that answer. But yes, you should get a job. Not just to get your nails done, but for shits and giggles.

Hi. I don't network. I schmooze.

Page 58 of the Best of Detroit issue, on stands now. Hair AND nails. Go us.

I'm about to go do my clients. I give good hand jobs...

So what you're saying is that I'm not bad for an old white chick? And how ARE your special piercings, anyway?

You just never know...

No one needs to kiss MY ass. You'd have to catch me first. Since no one comes skating anymore, good luck with THAT shit.

No shit. Soccer moms aren't the only people capable of helping others.

Quit smoking. You might thank me for this advice later!

Like I'll be trying out for the Detroit Derby Girls in around 6 weeks, and I had better get a move-on in ordering my protective gear.

After helping to clear what will become the community garden on Second and Willis in Midtown Detroit, I'm genuinely tired. However, I'll still go skating tonight.
