Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope all is well with everyone reading these words. This one will be short and sweet because I'm already late. (What else is new, right? *chuckle*) I'm headed out to have dinner with the current beau. We've had so many dates since we met that I've lost count. He's keeping me entertained and I'm enjoying it. He's also doing something no man has ever done: whenever we have a date, he fills up my gas tank. Generous and gentlemanly. Any whooo folks, it's dinner time and I'm hungry. Toodles!

More time spent with the latest beau... So far, so good. S., my newest daughter (one of Baby Bliss's young co-workers), brought us a chicken pot pie that she made from scratch. It's a real pie, meaning it's not a mini pot pie but a full-sized one. I had a wedge when it was still hot, for lunch. Delicious. I'm so thankful for the people in my life who can cook because Lord knows I sho don't want to do it. Any who, I have a funeral around 11 or so with Miz A. I'm already nodding so it's toodles for me. Sayonara folks!

Happy Saturday everyone. I hope you are all somewhere safe, relatively speaking. Today was a good day for me. Miz A and I hung out most of the day. We sat on her sofa and gabbed, ran a few errands, bought lunch at her local Harris Teeter and ate it at her house. Soon after we finished lunch, her cousin and his girlfriend dropped by. We joined them later for a few hours at a local park, for a fundraising cookout with the girlfriend's biker family. It was fun and interesting. Baby Bliss left a few minutes ago with a friend, heading to a sleepover. I'm leaving as soon as I hit "publish", to have a late dinner with the latest beau. I wish you all a good night and the sweetest of sweet dreams. Ciao!

We now know the revolution will be televised as well as tweeted and there will be live Facebook feed too. So why do they continue to do it? Because they're getting away with it. Jesus take the wheel because for those who have a smidgen of belief it might be the only thing that stops a cataclysm. As Martin Luther King Jr. once said,"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools." Maybe they'll get it before it's too late. In the meantime, I leave y'all with these videos... Video released by the wife of Keith Lamont Scott. Mr. Scott was gunned down in Charlotte, NC on Tuesday, September 20, 2016. Dana Stevens shares thoughts of the killings of our Black men:

Happy Wednesday y'all! Where has the time gone? Feels like it should be Sunday. So I've had a few more dates with the guy from the previous post. He's extremely family-oriented and solidly industrious. Had quite a few hard knocks in life but he's managing to carve out a decent life for himself. Some aspects of his life remind me of my dearly departed Mr. Bliss. Overall, I like and respect him. I'll go out with him again but for a number of reasons I don't see myself settling into happily ever after with him.

Happy Friday everyone! I hope life has been rainbows and sunshine for you all since we last met here. My days (and nights) have been interesting. Never a dull moment chez Bliss, you know. Baby Bliss has been working her self into a tizzy. Good for her! She's young and energetic. She's also saving for a car. It's possible I'll match her efforts. We'll see. In the latest episode of Blissful Dating, I'm fast approaching the level of Dating Mastermind. I think I need 10 more points. (Each date is worth one point. Two if It lasts longer than four hours.) I missed out on at least one point this past weekend because I got stood up. Check it out: Me, after being stood up for a date Saturday (September 10). Mr. No-show and I had spoken to each other a few times that day, agreeing on a time and place. I was there and waited 15-20 minutes. He didn't call and hasn't since. Oh well... But my darlings, you all know mami is a rolling stone. And as...
