Just want to remind ya'll. Be sure to get your doctor check-up's. See your physician, ur obgyn (ladies, lol), ur eye doctor, ur dentist, and what other doctor ur refered to. Especially if u have insurance. Take advantage! It has been years since I have seen a doctor, and I had insurance for the past 3 year! I feel so ashamed and stupid. But I don't want ya'll to feel that way. Health is so important. Preventative care is key to longevity. Just simple follow up care will reduce chances of huge mishaps, like having to go into surgery, or worse. Follow up is where I suffered. When u make an appointment, keep it! This is your life, it is more important then whatever else u have to do! Hold ur self accountable, especially if your grown, (23 and older). I love ya'll and I hope your making your doctors appointments today.

I have seen this poem in a few places and it just means so mcuh to me that I had to post it. This is such good advice for females and for all the men out there to know that Im a GROWN WOMAN!

GIRLS leave their schedule wide-open and wait for a guy to call and make plans.
GROWN WOMEN make their own plans and nicely tell the guy to get in where he fits in.

GIRLS want to control the man in their life.
GROWN WOMEN know that if he's truly hers, he doesn't need controlling.

GIRLS check you for not calling them.
GROWN WOMEN are too busy to realize you hadn't.

GIRLS try to put a man 'on lock' by using sex.
GROWN WOMEN know that it's the sex of the mental kind that makes a man want to 'lock' you down.

GIRLS fake-moan, lie there and take the stabbing.
GROWN WOMEN say, "Just stop", get up, get dressed and walk out.

GIRLS are afraid to be

alone.
GROWN WOMEN revel in it-- using it as a time for personal growth.

GIRLS ignore the good guys.
GROWN WOMEN ignore the bad guys.

GIRLS make you come.
GROWN WOMEN make you come home.

GIRLS worry about not being pretty and/or good enough for their man.
GROWN WOMEN know that they are pretty and/or good enough for any man.

GIRLS try to monopolize all their man's time (i.e., don't want him hanging with his friends).
GROWN WOMEN realize that a lil' bit of space makes the 'together time' even more special -- and goes to kick it with her own friends!

GIRLS think a guy crying is weak.
GROWN WOMEN offer their shoulder and a tissue.

GIRLS want to be spoiled and 'tell' their man so.
GROWN WOMEN 'show' him and make him comfortable enough to reciprocate w/o fear of losing his 'manhood'.

GIRLS get hurt by one man and make all men pay for it.
GROWN WOMEN know that that was just one man.

GIRLS fall in love, chase aimlessly after the object of their affection, ignoring all 'signs'.
GROWN WOMEN know that sometimes the one you love doesn't always love you back?and moves on, without bitterness.

GIRLS will read this and get an attitude.
GROWN WOMEN will read this and ask...which one am I?

GRILS sit at home and dream about a better life
GROWN ASS WOMEN get out there and live a better life
