Big Shirley's Male-Identified Wedding & Gradutions (Answering Questions)


I should have seen these questions coming. There are a few posts about the topics on here already. Oh Well! Let me Answer the Questions.

Q: Attend a Wedding of Your Ex vs Attend Graduations Outside?

A: I live in Texas. Nothing outside is Ideal. Nothing!!! An ex's wedding is just like any other wedding. And I've been invited to an ex's nuptials. I had plans to go but had a family emergency. Sent the couple a Nice gift card. So, I choose the Ex's Wedding. 

Q: Ok, Don't bite my head off. What is the difference between Bishop T. D. Jakes & Kevin Samuels talking about the problematic Black Modern Women? I don't see any Black Modern women jump up in anger with what Bishop Jakes said in his pulpit.

A:*sigh* I'm so tired of this subject. 

All I will say is Presentation is Everything No Insults, Asking for Sensitive Information, or Name-Calling in a viral clip or the Father's Day sermon the clip is from. Not to be a Know-It-All but Clearly, some folks need to listen to Bishops' sermons based on or read his books "He-motions" & "Her Lady, Her Lover, Her Lord". What Bishop Jakes said on that Sunday morning is Nothing new. What Kevin Samuels said was Nothing new. It's just these New folks who are attracted to people who are ok with methods that tear folks down instead of teaching to understand genders to get their point across, that are New to the messaging. But Who Am I? Nothing but a Christian, over 40, single, Big Shirley that attends church. (Here are all of the insults for me from both sides. Even though I have no dog in this fight) *sigh* Agree or Disagree, the message is the message.

Dressing 100 Million Dollars (Answering Questions)

You ask! I answer! See how that works!

Q: Who would you let dress you for a month, Your Mom or Your Niece & Nephew?

A: Muh Diva It will be very "matchy, matchy, Garanimal like, but my mother's picks would be doable. Also, my sister's children wear their clothing too snug for my liking.

I might even play all songs with Money in the title while I pack my bags. LoL

Talk About It Tuesday (Disregarding Church Hurt)


Put Your Headphones On!!!

Learn to Listen, Listen to Learn!

Read the comment & quote tweets in THIS and then ask what is Church Hurt. Because I didn't even touch on how single mothers (not fathers) & mental health are terribly discussed in church. Oh, and at the time of this video's taping, I didn't know about the latest Kim Burrell actions & words that include Covid-19 vaccinations & masks, and ugly people. Yes, include things like that in what harms others in the church *sigh* I Could Weep but going to Godⁿ is probably the Better answer. Maybe I'll do both.

All Church Folks more than likely have a level of Church Hurt in us. But we can't judge others because their levels may be lesser or greater than ours.

Oh Well!

Talk About It Tuesday (Will She Ever be Safe)

And while you are saying "Not All Men", ask yourself have you spoken against any of the behaviors (or associated behaviors) I was speaking about. Then you are not helping women, either. Just Stop Doing Creepy Stuff! Make the Dating World a Safer Place.

So Y'all Are Wondering About Stevie (June is Black Music Month)

Shout out to Naima Cochran @naima on Twitter. Every Black Music Month she has prompts & threads for her followers to post songs based on different daily topics. Well, she posted her Stevie Wonder hit songs bracket that was created by Music Madness. And you guys know I love a good bracket so, you know I filled mine out.


I'm not going to do a whole breakdown but my bracket came down to. My Cherie Amour from the 60s Stevie category & from the 80s/90s category, Ribbon in the Sky. Even if my favorite Stevie Wonder songs, Ebony Eyes & If It's Magic were on the bracket, Ribbon in the Sky WINS.

That song is such a sweet melody. It was one of THE wedding songs of the 80s & 90s. I, myself walked down the aisle as a bridesmaid to this song. It has been covered by reggae singer, Dennis Brown, R&B group, Intro, Pop sensation, Boyz II Men,  and others like 2 Men 4 Soul, Hiroshima, Lloydie Crucial, and Ivete Sangalo. In 2009, Essence magazine included "Ribbon in the Sky" in their list of the "25 Best Slow Jams of All Time". And though My Cherie Amour was about Wonder's girlfriend in 1966 named Marcia, it doesn't grab my heart like Ribbon in the Sky. Oh, know that the beginning piano chords were playing in my mind while typing this post. I hear the notes, Stevie, I Hear the Notes!

What Stevie Wonder hit would win your bracket? Let me know!

Talk About It Tuesday (A Standard Plus Size Fight)

The sad part is the lady & the guy don't care. That's why I let my life & dating standards fight my battles. Because walls with mouths don't have listening ears but maybe their eyes aren't blind.
