That’s Crazy

          how I would make sure the people who He had placed under my

          watch would get paid. I did not want to ever fail God and His people
          by not delivering.


               I just was so hurt that the person I had chosen to marry had no

          feelings or cared about my wellbeing. I did not know this person. We
          had to hire an arbitrator to assist with the settlement and back-owed
          taxes, another expense I could not afford.


               We went to arbitration and crazy Leroy had hired a female black

          sister  for  his  attorney,  I  began  to  learn,  lawyers'  roles  were  very
          antagonistic, she came in like a lion. She also wanted me to agree to

          what crazy Leroy had requested, so Kenneth and she went back and
          forth, and I sat back and let them just battle it out. Crazy Leroy added

          another twist and in the middle of the arbitrations, he began to act as
          his attorney, and began arguing with Kenneth.


               He wanted me to be fully responsible for the back-owed taxes
          since he made less money than I did. I could not believe my ears, that’s

          when I could hear my college sister-friend, Ms. Baseball, saying, "You
          can no longer date or look at men with names on their shirts." I had

          to laugh because I have always been attracted to men in uniform. You

          see, it does always go back to childhood. My sister's friend, Jewel,
          made  me  understand  the  "Daddy's  Girl"  syndrome  in  her  book,
          "Desperation is like Perfume.” It is true; I have always been attracted to

          the chocolate men in uniforms.
