I am soliciting the prayers of my sisters. I have a first cousin that grew up in the same house with me. She is 30 and pregnant with her first child. The doctors told her today that there is an indication that her baby has down's syndrome. Needless to say there is much fear right now.

Thank you and I will keep you posted.

Good Morning ladies,

Health has been in the news a lot lately, from allergies to weight-loss surgery. I get info from many sources, but this one website offers the most comprehensive health information focused directly on black women. Some of the health statistics concerning obesity, cancer, and cardiovascular disease are frightening, but knowing what strategies can be used to correct these problems is the first step.

Vandross has tracheotomy, recovers from pneumonia

2003/04/29 08:50 AM EDT

NEW YORK (AP) -- Luther Vandross contracted pneumonia after suffering a stroke and had to undergo a tracheotomy to help him breathe, but the procedure didn't damage his vocal chords, his representatives said Monday.

The Grammy-winning singer remains in critical but stable condition, and spokeswoman Lois Najarian told The Associated Press: "We expected him to be out of intensive care right now."

Hey eerbody! Sorry for yesterday, I called in sick (had a hangover outta this world)! We partied a while at my aunt's going away party! I cried a little bit (YEAH RIGHT, I was hecka cryin').

How was your weekend? Let's get a roll call question in...WHO'S WITH ME? What's your favorite month? Why?

I have a co-worker who is a drummer. All flocking day he sits here and beats and taps and slaps his mickeyfickey knees and his desk. I have asked him point blank not to do it cause the sheezy gets on my mickeyfickey nerves. I hate to say this but he is a contractor and the corporation had just done a reorg and the contractors have to go. Don't get me wrong, I have been on the receiving end of that news more than once as a contractor, but I will not miss him when he is gone. I got rid of the repulsive one and picked up this dim-wit.
men and women's roles reversed in the dating scene? I know most of you have a SO but I am just curious if any has have girlfriends that are having issues with men and the dating scene. I had a enlighten conversation with some women this weekend and it seems to be the consensus that all of us have had some doosie of some men in recent years. And we were thinking it was maybe our ages and since most of us are hitting 30 we are encountering a different era.
Hi All,

I'm new to this board and just wanted to say a quick "HI"!

So do we just join in a conversation or do we have to be invited? Help!

Yes, color does effect the advantages and disadvantages of any one person. However, you said that peopel of color are primarily minorities ...

So here is another question ...

If a white were to go to Asia, or Africa, or even Central America, would they be a person of color then because they were the minority?

P.S. I am not trying to be antagonistic, my question is sincere.

Hey ladies! Now you don't have to go to the UK site to get the personal icons next to your name! Once you're logged in and on a board, go to board settings, scroll down and the options there!

I just wanted to let you know that I need to give up my CL responsibilities. With kids, school, work and other stuff I just don't have the time to devote to the board that it deserves. I'll be around a few days a week though. It's been almost 3 years and I've had a blast!

Have a nice weekend ladies. Talk to you next week.
