Is This Legal? Woman Sues Over Facebook Heartbreak…

Jul, 21 2011 | Written by ATLien

A Michigan woman says she was “shocked, humiliated and embarrassed” by a Facebook romance gone awry and is seeking damages from her former online love.

Cheryl Gray, a 50-year-old unemployed paralegal says Wylie Iwan, a 35-year-old Applebee’s employee, led her on.

Gray claims she spent hundreds of dollars on gifts and a trip to visit Iwan, but was humiliated when he posted vulgar comments on her Facebook wall and was “devastated” and angry when a week before her planned trip, Iwan said he’d met someone else at a bar and no longer wanted to continue their “relationship”.

Now, “I feel foolish,” Gray said. “I’m not so much mad or angry. I feel foolish. I am disillusioned.”

Gray has decided to take her hurt feelings to court, filing a lawsuit seeking to recover $8,386.88 from her former online flame. Continue Reading…

Bob Whitfield: 7 Reasons Why Women Cheat…

Jul, 14 2011 | Written by WhatUpBob

[Note from ATLien: I was planning to do a post on this the other day and mentioned it to my friend Bob Whitfield, who decided to share his two cents. For the record, I have absolutely NOTHING to do with this commentary. These are all BOB'S views and opinions and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of me... ATLien!]

Seven reasons why your woman would cheat on you….

#7. “Soft as Twinkie Filling”

You have the ferociousness of a tabby cat and she wants a mean old lion. A man needs to understand how to dominate a submissive women.

She will seek out restraint from another man just to compensate for the lack of manhood around her. Somebody has to pee standing up….

#6 ” Eww Nasty”

She has a sexual appetite that one man is unable to fulfill or sustain. Different from “#7″ this is pure sex and for a man that feels that he has all that his women needs will be for a rude and crude awakening, when you come home and she is having a leather clad gang bang in the middle of the den.

#5. “The Terry McMillan” Continue Reading…

I’m so happy Beyonce chose “The Best Thing I Never Had,” as the 2nd single from her new “4″ album because CLEARLY she was in my head at the time…

There was a time I thought, that you did everything right.
No lies, no wrong. Boy I, must’ve been outta my mind.

So when I think of the time that I almost loved you,
you showed your ass and I saw the real you

Thank God you blew it. Thank God I dodged the bullet. I’m so over you. So baby good lookin’ out!

In the video for her hot new single, Beyonce goes from preparing for her wedding to thanking God that she finally saw the light.

Been there… done that… bought a t-shirt. [Sidebar: What goes around comes around. I bet it sucks to be you right now... you know who you are.]

Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher, of New Bern, North Carolina, took their ’til death do us part’ marital vows literally. They would have celebrated their 87th year of marriage on May 13, 2011 had one of them not passed away.
