Chocl8t Blast List

I’ve managed to slip into BEO-YATCH mode with no real signs or warnings. I’ve been fighting it all day and have been laying low…really low so as not to bite off the heads of innocent children and puppies. It’s all because of frustration and since I don’t want to sound like a whiny bitter female bemoaning the pitfalls of being single and unattached, I’ll keep it to myself. Besides, this post isn’t about me and my personal issues. 😉

j0433821.pngUhm. Yahoo. I have a question. Maybe several…

How in the hell are the spammers getting my email address? An email address that I recently created (within the past 45 days) for blogging related purposes?

Uhm. Spammers, get a clue. Do you really think I will send you my personal information with the hopes I’ve won a lottery that I haven’t even entered? Do you think I’m so gullible, greedy, and desperate that I will jump at the possibility of acquiring 30% of $10 million dollars?

oldage.jpgI was perusing the news websites like always do when I came across this eye-catching headline: “Over 40? You Can Look Young & Hip Author Says“. Charla Krupp has authored a book titled “How Not To Look Old” which was number 2 on Sunday’s New York Times Best Seller List.

…it urges women to retain a youthful appearance with brightened teeth,highlighted hair (and bangs), hip (but not too young) clothes, high heels and soft, natural makeup. She doesn’t believe in plastic surgery, by the way.

Deep Sigh

As an African American woman I am amazed this kind of crap sells and even more amazed that my Caucasian sisters are so susceptible to this. Yes, I think many more white women stress about this more than black women when they really don’t have to. Why? I don’t know. Maybe someone could enlighten me. 🙂

I think the author, Charla Krupp, has some personal issues with aging thus the reason for her book. However, a word of caution I would offer anyone considering her suggestions is to remember that how well you age or don’t age is primarily and largely due to genetics. JMO

Outside of living a healthy lifestyle, no drug abuse, minimal stress, no sun worshipping, moderate alcohol use, etc., there’s not much you can do about it. If your mother looks, or looked, like death warmed over at 40, chances are…you will too.

I’m just saying….

This right here pissed me off – BIG TIME!

Richmond County Deputy Coroner Charlena Graham, has been arrested on accusations she stole gift cards from the body of a woman who had committed suicide. Read the story here.

theivingazzcoroner.jpgWhy in the HOT ASS HELL are you stealing from the dead and you’re the coroner? Have you no morals? No scruples? Are times that bad for you that you have to lift gift cards from a dead woman’s hands? A woman that committed suicide, no less. Was it NOT bad enough that she felt there was no hope and ended her own life? Noooo….you had to go add insult to injury and the icing to the cake by pissin’ in her face… by stealing from her…

May the flames of hell consume your boiled infested azz!!

papa-johns.jpgAfter going to church on Sunday, cooking breakfast, and going to the gym, I did not feel up to cooking that evening. So I decided on Papa John’s since Pizza Hut doesn’t deliver to my neighborhood – I live in B.F.E.

So, I order online and receive my confirmation email informing me that the delivery will be “approximately 30-40 minutes. COOL! No problem. Forty minutes came and went so I called the local P.J. restaurant and the conversation goes a little like this:

Matt: Papa John’s may I help you?

Chocl8t: Yes. I placed an order online about 45 minutes ago and was wondering how long before I receive my pizza.

Matt: Well, its only been 42 minutes.

Chocl8t: Uh, excuse me?

Matt: Its only been 42 minutes, ma’am and the delivery time is an hour.

Chocl8t: The email confirmation stated a delivery time of 30-40 minutes and 42 minutes means you’re late. 42 minutes may not be long to you but for me it’s long as hell cause I’m hungry you condescending a$$hole of a rotted pig! Cancel the dayum order!

Why people? Why? What happened to GOOD customer service? Papa John’s will NEVER, EVER get another dime out of my pocket.

whole-foods.jpgI love Whole Foods MarketLOVE ‘EM so this isn’t really a slam on the place. I particularly like the smoked meats and I regularly purchase the smoked chicken wings. However, on EVERY occasion I’ve done so, I have had to pluck feathers out of the cooked chicken! WTH?!! I can understand the concept of “fresh“, “all natural” food but isn’t this taking it a bit too far? I mean, really. What’s next? Will I have to ring the dayum chicken’s neck on my next visit? Okay, that might be taking it too far but you get the idea and hopefully they will too since I’ve submitted an online complaint. Lets see if they respond.


All I can say is WOW!! Kudos to Whole Foods for not only responding but for doing so within less than 24 hours. Read the email below:
