Houston, We No Longer Have a Whitney - But We have Woodworks



Now that Ms. Houston has passed on, it seems people are coming out of the woodwork to give their thoughts on Ms. Houston's life, troubles and untimely passing. I, for one, am not one of them, because I've been voicing my opinion of Ms. Houston since day one, which was me not liking her. It wasn't until The Bodyguard came out did I begin to like Ms. Houston. When she married Bobby Brown, I know it was a train wreck waiting to happen. But all that's neither here not there right now. The purpose of this post is to express my thoughts, briefly on everyone coming out of the woodwork about Ms. Houston.

It never fails, when someone passes, those we have never heard of or heard from, want to say something, like they have inside information on the passing person's last years, months or days and sometimes even hours and minutes. There isn't anything we don't know about Ms. Houston they can tell us. We know her marriage to Brown was a joke and very troubling. We know she loved her daughter and we know she wanted to be back on top of her music game. The only thing we don't know and probably will never really know, is the extensive the abuse she endured because of Boxer Bobby Brown.

That's my two cents.

Sharron Smalls, Jane Addams High School Principal, Under Fire For Facebook Picture

I knew someone in which every picture you saw of her, she had a drink in her hand at a bar. People don't think before they post things on Facebook.
A high school principal is facing harsh criticism after a revealing picture found on her Facebook page surfaced.

The photo showed Sharron Smalls, of New York's Jane Addams High School, next to a topless man as he pours a dark liquid substance over her. Students passed a copy of the photo around school last week.

Smalls is already under fire for allegations of credit padding. A New York City Department of Education probe is looking into whether she gave students credits for classes they didn't take.

"They put me in cosmetology because we don't have chemistry," 16-year-old senior Clarissa Williams told The New York Times.

The scandal has outraged students, many of whom may not graduate due to lack of credits.

Jane Addams High School received a an F grade from the city and is in danger of being shut down.

Bank of America Class Action Suit - Overdraft Fee

Someone filed a Class Action suit against BofA stating they unlawfully charged overdraft fees. The suit states that BofA would rearrange the debit charges in the consumer's account in order to cause the consumer to be short of funds in their account, thus charging the consumer over  draft fees. Bank of America Law Suit

This lawsuit is to cover millions of BofA members.

I left BofA, or as I like to refer to them, Bank of Piss Me Off Again, over a month ago and went to a credit union, and so far I am a happy banker. Ran into a slight bump in the road with the credit union, but they fixed the problem in a very good way.
