and I could never quite come up with an...

Amazing Women
When we are alone, we talk but with no words.

This, my friends, is why:

I won't tell y'all how many times I've watched this video. Yes, Home Girl has some great moves - no shade on her.

Psst....
We'd never say these things in public....
Well, not sober.
And we'll deny that we ever meant anything about them....
But there are some rules and behaviors between married men and women that extend across the economic, p0litical, religious and ethnic spectrums. Maybe it's just one...
