“All this protesting etc is not doing any good at all. I am a senior citizen and seeing this all happen makes me very sad because I see minds being infiltrated with disbelief and critical thinking removed. Only recently when visiting I saw in the window of the Little Skye Children’s Boutique small shirts stating “Black Lives Matter.” How very sad. How does one explain to small children that only black lives matter. What happened to all lives matter. The beauty of small children is that they do not see the difference . They enjoy each other as children should. This should not be something that they need to process. As small children they need to know that there is no difference. The color of skin makes no difference. This is insulting. What has happened to trying to understand that we do not all have the same beliefs, the same color of skin, the same backgrounds, etc. But, we are all human beings. And, where are the parents that need to teach this?”
When two individuals are in a no strings attached (NSA) relationship, it means that they are in a causal relationship or hookup where each is having fun with the other without any emotional attachment or commitment. The fun mainly refers to having sex and giving each other company to events like parties or night-outs. This kind of relationship could be between two single friends who aren’t ready to be exclusive with each other, two individuals dating two other different people, or even a person seeing different other people concurrently. It is having fun without commitment and may also be seen as being friends with benefits.

Ridgewood NJ, whether you support or not the latest Black Lives Matter protest in Ridgewood one thing is certain a lot of “white people ” feel very comfortable speaking for “black people” (white privilege ) . In stead of pointing fingers the Ridgewood blog did some research looking to find out what “black people” have to say for themselves. and interestingly we found a book called the “”Black Silent Majority” and in that book there were some polls done specifically of African Americans , so we thought we would let them speak for themselves and what they said may surprise a lot of you .

“Some of you guys in the comments are disgusting. You know nothing about black history or why people are protesting. Black people have been fighting for equality for over 400 years. Educate yourselves before you speak. Stop being Karen’s & Kens & pick up a damn history book. Black people have to work 10 times harder than a white man or woman just because we’re black. You’ll never understand but at least stand for what’s right. You people disgust me.
Sincerely,
A young BLACK a woman”
“I witnessed the RPD arrest of the young woman. They had already gently warned the kids against breaking any laws, such as obstructing a highway. The arrestee was using a megaphone to berate the PD and any law abiding citizen who would dare to come anywhere in the protester’s path.
Giving gifts is an art. It takes a very keen type of analysis to get that perfect something for the perfect person. It’s even more difficult if it’s your kid. How many of us really know our kids? They’re their own independent grown-ups with interests that rise and fall and morph on the daily. Good thing the internet is full of people who know a thing or two about giving gifts. If your daughter’s birthday is coming up and you’re at a loss for what to give her, here are some solid gift ideas that will elevate you to the most awesome parent of the year.
