The New Look

CherrieJW | April 29, 2009

I thought I’d go for a more traditional news print type style. Some people are more comfortable with this style.  The same information here is located at     WEBB on the WEB. Just because most of the information appears identical, I assure you that within a few days, you will see the differences between the two. [...]

Arlen Spector

CherrieJW | April 29, 2009

God love him! Arlen Spector has proven that one can be aged and not senile. In fact, he has proven that it’s never too late to change. Welcome Senator Spector to the Democratic party.   Thank you for saying truthfully that you won’t always vote with the Dems, but that you will vote your conscience.  I [...]

Housekeeping

CherrieJW | April 29, 2009

Now comes housekeeping. This is the worst part of my day/night.  Martha Stewart I am not, never have been. But this is not only a physical housekeeping, it’s  an emotional one as well.  I have several writing styles, apparently, the nonblogging world wants to see that side of my writing.  Of course, the blogging world [...]

Good Hair-Bad Hair

CherrieJW | April 28, 2009

Technorati Profile Today’s lesson on Black culture is one that everyone over 30 can totally understand. It’s why Beyonce` gets whiter and blonder everytime I see her, why Gabrielle Union has hair almost as long as mine only hers is a weave. It’s the reason that a great deal of black women cringe when they see [...]

Success of Highly Effective Marraiges

CherrieJW | April 28, 2009

Here is where 23 years of marraige come into play.  Here we are getting advice from the oldtimers. My husband I sat and on this rare occasion I asked his counsel on what to exclude. My original list include pieces of 20 years of togethness.  That’s lot to parry into a few sentences.  So with [...]

Just Being Black Isn't Enough Anymore

Cherrie | April 28, 2009

I was reading Black Voices on AOL (it’s a guilty pleasure when I get time and have absolutely nothing else to do) and I ran across a thread that in addition to giving me food for thought, it raised the hair on the back of my next.  The topic were people  joyously noted that our First [...]

Boo on Arizona

CherrieJW | April 28, 2009

Our sitting  President Obama has been invited to be the commencement speaker at Arizona State next month. There is nothing new about this. Presidents and past presidents are often invited to speak at commencements.  What has made this incident a debacle is that unlike past commencement speakers, our sitting president will not be granted an honorary doctorate from [...]

Sibling Rivalry

CherrieJW | April 28, 2009

I have 6 siblings that I love dearly, but from a distance.  My family is not mentally well, which of course if I’m not careful can challenge my own mental state.  I have a sister 11 years older than me who has carried a grudge for 45 years that my birthday fell during the Christmas [...]

All the Best We Have to Give

CherrieJW | April 28, 2009

 spent some of my time this week conducting an unofficial survey of the double-digit couples to understand the reasons behind their longevity in this era when 50% or more of marraiges end in divorce.  We called the  couples with less than 15 years as the newbies. They’re still learning. It’s refreshing to see that sort [...]
