White bread with your Soul Food

Correct me if I'm wrong, but "Soul Food" isn't the healthiest of food choices. I'm one of those African-Americans who doesn't really eat it. I don't do chitlins or pig feet (I really don't eat much of any pork). I've never had greens. I won't eat greens with any salt pork or any pork in it. I'll eat cornbread, I'll eat pound cake (from scratch, sparingly), and I'll eat black-eyed peas and green beans sans pork fat. I think so called "Soul Food" is the main reason diabetes is so prevalent in the Black community. I noticed today that my parents brought some barbeque from bar-b-que joint. I noticed the meal came with a slice of white bread. I shun the sight of sliced white bread. Switching over to wheat bread is a simple and healthier choice. A simple change. A step toward healthier eating.

Oprah and Maxi Pads

This is not a joke, but I can see how some men and/or comedians may find this funny (Warning: if you use this in your comedy act ... or even if you tell this "joke" to friends, you owe me royalties!!!!)

So the other day, I went to the store specifically to pick up Always Maxipads (night-time with wings) and the May issue of O Magazine (Oprah Winfrey's magazine). Yes, my shopping list consisted of ..... O magazine and maxipads. Ha ha ha, go ahead and laugh ... but a woman needs what a woman needs. ---end of "funny" part .... remember, royalties!!!!----

May was the "Spirituality" issue, so I thought that could be useful. So, it's the 2nd to last week in May and there's no May issue on the shelves, only June. This is absurd, however, I can recall having this problem before. Apparently this is some publishing standard. I say, it needs to change. I don't know WHY publishers start the next month issue during the previous month. It makes no sense to me. May issue should be on shelves from May 1st - May 31st. On June 1st, get in line and pick up June issue. That makes sense to me. Is it just me, am I the only one with sense? Anyway, I wrote O magazine and Oprah.com. ... so far no response :(
