tri color fat bottom vase 2
Originally uploaded by Cherrie712

Fat bottom vase sturdy and big enough to hold a thick, vibrant array of wild flowers or a simple arrangement that's able to support a short stem. Done in a tri color glaze treatment of khakatile, overlapped with apple green celadon. Colors went beautifully earthen. 4.25 inches tall x 4.25 inches at the base.

Palin whispered, "So, Sambo beat the bitch?"

When I read this article, I almost died! further, I am not to sure how credible this maybe so know I am still a little suspect but then I had to share it to get your opinion.

READ ==> Alaskans Speak (In A Frightened Whisper): Palin Is “Racist, Sexist, Vindictive, And Mean”

When people ask me if I am a racist my response is that if I do not like people who are ignorant. So would that make me racist?! Something to think about.

I don't care for people who do hate me for ignorant thoughts such as not caring for me just because I am:

1. black
2. female
3. educated
4. trained as a lawyer
5. live on the East Coast
6. etc...

I have been told to my face by other cultural groups and even by other African Americans that I am not liked or despised because of some of these characteristics. Yes, I have been told to my face. Been told this online too which I have plenty of evidence throughout my blog.

Yesterday, I had a typical incident in my building where my neighbor who happens to be Russian is not very fond of me because I am educated. She told me, "oh, so where are you working, miss lawyer." She did not even ask my name but she knows I am trained as a lawyer. I told her that I am not practicing law and her eyes rolled out of her head. She said why? I told her I use my degree for other purposes. She is always very mean to me and sometimes I would purposely not leave my apartment when I needed to when she was in the hallway because she gives me evil looks. I don't think she supports Obama! =)

And, I do live in New York City by the way so I wonder where this *melting pot* theory came about because we don't melt well at all in this city. This goes with all races even my own. Humans are interesting. I pray for all of those who continue to exhibit racism towards me but regardless I pray the Lord washes the ignorance from their racist thoughts if at all possible!

11:24 @richardsession The iSight (webcams) are standard out the box versus an exception for high powered computing for creative people. #
11:25 @MissJo_Ladie My oldest has a birthday wish list with hair coloring. Birthday bunny is not delivering that gift:) #

11:27 @MochaMom365 I'll keep everyone informed & it may be easier to do a short video on Seesmic & YouTube with a Q&A. No secrets kept:) #
11:30 @MissJo_Ladie She's turning 8 on the 15th of this month:) #
11:35 @MissJo_Ladie rofl:) She was never into HM for some reason although she will dance to the music. Not a HSM fan either. Reasons unknown:) #
11:40 @thirtydaes Double wow! Christmas 1999 was a good one:) #
11:41 @dj_diva New meaning to Season's Greetings:) #
11:42 @susanreynolds I think allowing U of O to score first is southern hospitality:) But it will evaporate on the kickoff!!! #
11:47 @thirtydaes @MissJo_Ladie I'm a May baby & later realized that my father's birthday is 9 months before mine:) Changed my perception a bit:) #
11:51 Tempted to go to downtown ATL Farmer's Market: I feel a foodie moment coming on slowly:) #
11:52 @jaredwsmith Don't fight that feeling:) It may be a signal that you needed to relax more than you would have on your own;) #
11:53 @djchuang You kept the video very humble & modest:) #
11:57 @thirtydaes Would that make Father's Day or the 4th of July a suspect then? I'm leaning toward the fireworks:) #
11:57 @jaheed What do you mean by free range? #
11:59 @jaheed Thanks for that page! Looks like a fall trip on a Saturday is needed:) My girls would lap it up for sure:) #
12:00 @jaredwsmith Do you have XM Radio? They have a station called XM Chill that works wonders for me especially to fight traffic delays:) #
12:02 @jaredwsmith *-somafm.com/play/secretagent is online but there is not a stream that I can see. Great to locate music with though. #
12:03 Jamaican food sounds extremely appetizing right about now. Needs to be a food court though since kids won't go for it otherwise. #
12:05 @jaredwsmith NP! #
12:05 Just read a review on Google for a restaurant named Jamaican Jerk & it lived up to its name:( Ouch:) #
12:05 @jaredwsmith Wow, I've never thought to check Pandora for such stations! Thanks to you too! #
12:06 @shoemoney The fight is tempting to pay for. Amazing how UFC has virtually wiped boxing off the map. #
12:06 @jaheed Nice! #
12:07 @gottitravel You're going from one extreme to the other! No middle ground available? #
12:10 I hear my daughters strategizing their next request. Bipartisanship indeed:) #
12:19 Stop the presses! Palin's Achilles' heel is her own mouth & the reason for the media short leash: tinyurl.com/notagoodlookforpalin #
12:21 Food adventurer's hat is going on vs political one. We're off to explore & find gold or greasy spoon:) Catch y'all later! #
12:22 @lovebabz So I guess the Ikea's lingonberry preserves won't count huh? We're going out now to find something one way or another:) Peace! #
12:47 1st stop a bust;-( No food served & youngest didn't like the smell:-/ #
12:59 The African owner gave us bread called puff puff? #
13:21 2nd stop = beef ribs. Slightly expensive but good:-D #
14:45 3rd stop: Out of the park Goldmine! Just had a soda can of something so good that I'm ashamed to tell publicly what it was. Bought 2 more #
14:46 to take home! #
15:20 Back home from an incredible food excursion! Photos in minutes:-D #
15:25 I don't know if I'm having a post-sugary high crash or it's siesta time. My eyelids are experiencing gravity levels from another planet:( #
15:35 Just uploaded the foodie excursion photos: www.flickr.com/photos/wysiwysell Only friends see the drink though:) #
15:45 @shaunking An abandoned church? Something just does not sound right about that phrase! #
15:49 Friendfeed needs a notification system to tell one if there are comments & likes from others. I never visited my own submitted items to see #
15:52 I might cat nap until someone makes me feel guilty. I'm closing in on a toddler needing sleep status:) #
16:09 @bigeasy I saw the photo but not at that resolution. The health dept was derelict in its duty clearly. Damages KKreme's brand too:) #
16:10 @netdoc66 That's a strong storm to have that effect among the city for sure! #
16:13 @fave Just watched your Intel video & they're searching for the ball still in the Bay:) Very nice job, very nice job! #
17:08 @fave When Bonds was busy hitting home runs, they flew out into the bay next to the park! People were swimming & kayaking to get the balls! #
17:10 @Mollena I just saw that our nearest IHOP was wifi also. It didn't during our previous trip. Thank God for progress! Use on solo trips! #
17:11 @mastermaq How is the wind though? I imagine that some streets would amplify it more than others. #
17:12 @slamhita Cat or dog? A pet whisperer might be needed his weekend is over:) #
17:14 @ricksanchezcnn Do you use *-Ping.fm versus the web only to post to Twitter yet? It will make a big difference when you do:) #
17:17 @brian4dotcom Thx for the HBO & Cinemax update! #
17:18 @mastermaq I was referring to Tropical Storm Hanna more than likely. #
17:18 @faithengineer Too cool:) #
17:26 @ShannonRenee I'm sure there is one for a cat or dog somewhere:) Remember the T-Touch? It's on YouTube & it's hilarious:) #
17:33 Today is the 8th anniversary of my mother's homegoing. The last 2 years have been easier than the first 6 years. RIP Cereser T. Smith. #
17:49 FriendFeed Compatibility Finder: tinyurl.com/friendfeedfinder #
18:24 @Ginniquecrews Ok. Just wind & rain there right? #
18:37 @itsbeyondbeauty Whoa, that is a low bridge! Time will tell though. Wow! #
18:45 Wow, this year ECU is looking like a team of Davids: Pure Giant Killers! #
18:48 UFC is PPV to your desktop computer on Yahoo! Cool:) #
19:01 Almost every UFC fighter looks he was a former cast member of FX's "The Shield":) #
19:07 @shultquist ECU was never a joke. They're about to get in a sweet zone & roll over a few just from the fear factor alone:) Nice! #
19:13 About to get into some ESPN for highlights, read a bit, & hit the bed. UFC starts at 10 p.m. EST & I already know that I cannot hang:) #
19:13 Good night All:) #

Good day crew. I trust all is well. How did everyone fair with TS Hanna so far? We had lots of rain this way, a few swells out of nowhere, but nothing major. I think the storm has passed over and that being said, I offer you the graphic above as symbolism of such....

Hope everyone's weekend has been and continues to be good. This week I bring to u a lil mix of some head nod groove via Joshua, some jazziness via Positive Flow, and some ambient/nu-jazz flavor from Erasto and yours truly, Groove 7. Without further adieu, the playlist follows:

1. Sponsored By The Alphabet - Dimlite/JazzanovaÂ

2. Wiggle And Giggle - Joshua/Mushroom Jazz Vol. 4

3. Sound of Sound - Audiomontage/Snert

4. Fast Free Delivery - Blue Six/Aquarian Angel

5. The City Streets (Minimalistic Mix) - Positive Flow f/Donna Gardiner - Can U Feel It?

6. Eewayo - Espresso Del Lago/El Bano del Sol de Ibiza

7. After The Woman Â - rdm

8. The Road Home - Erasto/Man Of Peace

9. Be Like That - Clara Hill's Folkways/Sideways
