3. What has been the most challenging part of being a single parent?

the fact that i have no back up is the challenging part - i used to live in agony of getting in a car accident because if anything happened to me my kids would be orphans and i wouldn't want that to happen to them

4. Did you have a macabe(sp) bible?

- no i do not - i have a standard bible with the concordance (sp) it's as big as a house - i've had it since i was 12 -- brother samuels (church of god) bought it for me after i saw his and was impressed - it has my name engraved in gold on the front - it's got an archeological supplement and the whole nine yards - it's what the preachers use - so if i look up "house" i could do a whole sermon and fool yu mek yu tink seh mi know weh mi a chat bout [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Have you found that answer yet? If not do you believe there is any one thing that can answer every question about blackness, religion and self?

Can you share some of your poetry with us?

I still feel this way:

[QB] Hiya Sue

Yu tink yu did get weh?

- no i knew i couldn't escape you. you are relentless


Here we go again...

put that in the form of a question please?


1. How was your weekend?
it was pretty good except for that one very :brrrh: cold day

2. Does it bug you to pieces when they ask you that at work?

actually no it doesn't bother me - i try not to let things like that bother me - in fact i can talk at great lengths about the weather, the humidity in the air, the barometric pressure, the prevailing winds coming off the lake - they almost want me to shut up -- whoo boy, yu fi si mi an dem sprecially wen di wedda hot and dem come chat bout "hot enough for you?"
a dat deh time mi inna mi element (so to speak) - so tu answa yu qwestian di weekend sitt'n noh badda mi at all - dat way mi have a captive audience people have stopped asking me [img]/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]


3. They say motherhood is about preparing yourself to let go of your children. Do you believe this? Are you ready to let go? Please explain your answers.

i believe that to be true - because it's just a temporary phase in life - who would have thunk that they'd actually grow up and have lives and pastimes of their own? anyway, mi nah let goh - mi daughta pramise mi seh wen shi get big shi a live a hawaii an tek care ah mi soh at lease dah wan deh nah get weh


4. You're next in line at the check out. An older woman tries to edge you out. What do you do?

mek shi gwan shi aggoh ded soon hennywaze - dat reminds mi - one day mi an mi dawta walk out all a to.... den wih get pon di chrain, wan likkle man can hawdly walk come in - soh mi seh "darta - get up an mek di old man have your seat" hear she "nah, i'm tired - look at him he's gonna die soon" - i was so shocked at the callousness of her response someone didn't raise her right

5. Has anyone ever given up their seat on the bus/subway (for you)? Would you give yours up? Again, wamek?

just the other day a man gave me his seat - because he's the last gentleman left -

6. How many jackets/coats do you think is appropriate for one person in Toronto to own?

95


7. Have you ever gone on a missions trip/duty? Tell mi bout it.

what's that?

8. If your answere to 7 is no, would you want to go on one? Wamek or wamek not?

don't know what it is - sounds dangerous like ammunition - or grapple hooks would be involved

9. Think back to high school days... Lit class. What was your favourite book?

i hated every single book they ever gave me to read - it was not until after that i came to appreciate "great expectations" read it over and over and over


10. While we're on the subject, what was your favourite high school subject?

- english class

11. What teacher from your studying days impacted you mostly? What do you remember as a result?

english teacher - he was of a certain persuasion and would drop obscure hints to questions while we're having tests - except we were too dumb to get it - like humming "handel's messiah" handel being the name of a character in a book we were studying


12. Do you find you are becoming your mother?

don't know my mother

13. How would you advise someone wanting to head to TO as a tourist?

don't eat the yellow snow;

14. I like your shopping sense. How did you learn this skill?

i grew up with my aunt - the cheapest woman in canada - god bless har - you see if oranges are $1.99 a dozen - shi a mek sure seh shi get di biggest oranges - even if shi haffi tek di hole day inna di shap.


15. What cusisine have you not sampled thatyou want to sample?

ostrich mean - just fi si if it tase like chicken
frag leg - fi di same reason but mi noh wah fi know seh a frag - dis fix ie up pretty gimmi


16. How explorative are you in cooking?

-very- with disasterous results - my kids' lament "do you always have to buy such exotic things?"


17. Do you think it's wrong for one person to have more than 20 pairs of shoes? Wamek?

hell no - caz i've got an obscene amount misself and mi noh care - mi have cheap - expensive - young gyal stile - you name it - mi have it and that's just boots --


18. Have you ever seen racoons at nights? If you have, what was your first reaction to seeing them?

yes - i thought damm that's one funky looking cat


19. How would those closest to you describe you?

"out there"

20. Do you have a list of things to do before you reach 50? If no, will you be starting one? If no, wamek?

yes - the first being as soon as mi touch 50 mi a learn fi ride a motorcycle - no joke.


lord i'm tired

i never use to smile in pictures - only as i got older i learned to smile - my smile now is pretty "movie star" put on at times

Have you found that answer yet? If not do you believe there is any one thing that can answer every question about blackness, religion and self?

no. no. the only answer is to live well - treat others as you would want to be treated and be kind to animals.
