To answer FS's questions:

Ahem:

Do you talk like a valley-girl?

Sometimes. It wasnt called that back then, because that was how ALL the White kids I went to junior high and high school with speak on the Westside. Those kids spoke that way a good TEN YEARS before Frank Zappa's "Valley Girl" song, so when they song was on the radio at the time, it was HILARIOUS!! I'm so SURE for sure Monsieur!!!! Triplemondohellabitchen!!! It slips in from time to time and in a lot of laughter.

Do you talk like Mo'nique's gheto-ass?

Sometimes. I'm Black and Mexican, so that shit's rubbed in my psyche too. It's also hilarious, it just happens in the middle of a lot laughter (and sometimes anger. I've had to tear a couple people apart like that and it scared even me what I said and how it came out my mouth). Actually..........Monique is pretty TAME and UPSCALE compared to some folks in my family and my neighborhood, Yo.

Do you talk like John Tesh/ Piers Morgan?

No. Music is BORING. BORING. BORING. Therefore, I've had no interest in hearing what their speaking voices are like.

Do say you "like" between every word?

Back when I was a teenager, and in my early twenties, yes. You learn to break those bad habits when you graduate college and gotta get a full time job. Now that I'm 48 going on 49, Hell no. I think that shit stopped in my late 20's.

Do you talk hood, or are you some suburban shit?

You just asked that basically same question above in the Monique query. Go read it. Thank you, and have a nice day.

Y'ALL NIGGAS DON'T HAVE TO FUUUUUCK WITH MEEEE, that Z'Ro song sounds about appropriate right about here.

I've got a question: is there a normal useful lifespan of all laptops and computers?

My dilemma: I have an HP laptop since beginning of 2005. I don't have a lot of programs images music stored on there (I have a removable side hard drive for that), and have all that protection software in place to combat spyware viruses registry errors etc etc. I do the recommended occasional defragmentation and organizing of hard drive too.

Despite all that, it's pretty slow. Some times more than others. What I want to know is that just normal no matter what if you'd had a laptop/computer for 6 years? Is it a function and side effect of all the sites and material you regularly use and read taking up more memory on their end, and there's nothing you can do to change that?

Or is there something you can to bring your useable speed back to where it was the first few years?

If it's just time to replace it and get a new one, then I need to know that. Thanks everyone for your assistance. ;)

Hey Rosenda - I would say hang on too it. The computers made from 2002 to 2005 are some of the most flexible machines ever made - you can give it a good physical cleaning and check for dust and grime around the fan and circuit boards.

You can also use a a good cleaner like CCleaner . They have a free version that's great and the paid one rocks even harder. Even with virus protection you'd be surprised with the random build up of stuff over the years. I've had a Dell since 2002 that I'm hella attached to, even tho' i have newer machines...

If you can swing it - get a new machine and keep the older one around. Crack the newer one when and if needed...Black Friday deals may be worth it...

Do you talk like a valley-girl?

I use to talk kinda surfer-ish. You can kinda still here it a times. Now I kinda sound like Donald Glover...*shakes*

Do you talk like Mo'nique's gheto-ass?

No that just how most urban/working class people tend to sound. Especially any from say Baltimore and up.

Do you talk like John Tesh/ Piers Morgan?

Nope.

Do say you "like" between every word?

Yes, I work with very simple (not dumb) people so, I have to slow it down a bit. Outside of work, meh I'm not sure.

Not answering that last one, obvious bias is obvious.

Stupidity is a virus worse than gang membership.

I don't think it's an intelligence issue; it's probably due to a lack of self-worth, or fear, or they just don't know how a good relationship is supposed to work. It's sad, really.

Is women getting dumber in this era?

Let me explain. I know this girl who was recently pregnant by this guy whom Im sure this guy beats her. She keeps going back to him saying she loves him and no one understands him. Guy is a bum and won't get a job, or even shoot for a dream even.

Another girl I know, same issue. She told him that she really loved him and he told her he didn't believe her and demanded a paternity tests.

Why are these girls giving all of their love to worthless men?
