The Magic Number
Trina was rumored to be with both Baby, Wayne, Young Buck, Trick Daddy and that dude who cleans up the strip club after it closes. Nothing against her for sleeping around but it’s a touchy subject, that always get asked. What’s your number? I’ll give you time to think of all the men or women you’ve laid in the bed with and done naughty things. But, how much is too much?
Let’s say a female sleeps with one guy every 3 months is she easy? Now let’s say she has slept with 30 men, does that make a sl*t? I say no, by no means 3 months is actually a decent and respectable amount of time to make a dude wait, and if you’re making a person wait 3 months then wow I commend you.
Most of you probably see the number 30 and cringe, I had a girl who wouldn’t tell me her number and I think she was up in the 3000. She would tell me stories that would freak me out. Yeah me. But a man can have left over coochie rising out of his bed and no one says anything, myself included. So why aren’t woman comfortable sharing their number? Can be added to same category as how many licks would it take to get to the center of a toostie pop.
Houston woman charged with kidnapping five New Orleans children she took in after Katrina
HOUSTON (AP) -- Authorities searched Wednesday for five children they say were abducted by a woman who took the Louisiana family in after Hurricane Katrina.
The woman, Rhonda Tavey, told Dallas television station WFAA that she had taken the children for their own safety. An Amber Alert was issued Wednesday for the children, two boys and three girls ages 3 to 8. Tavey is not considered armed or dangerous, Hawkins said.
"It's not kidnapping on my part. It's child abandonment on their part," she told the station. The children gathered close to Tavey or played on the floor as she was interviewed.
Tavey said their mother, Erica Alphonse, had been gone for some time and "caused total chaos" in her house when she came back earlier this summer.
"I love my children with all my heart," Alphonse told Houston television station KHOU.
Prosecutors say Tavey was a volunteer after Hurricane Katrina slammed the Gulf Coast in August 2005. She opened her home to the children and Alphonse.
Harris County Assistant District Attorney Jane Waters, chief of the family criminal law division, told the Houston Chronicle that "they were all one big happy family" before Alphonse called the Harris County constable's office July 13.
Constable spokesman Capt. Paul Staton said Alphonse reported that "an acquaintance of hers was being reluctant to let her see her own children," the newspaper reported.
"Basically, she took in the family, including the mom, and then when it came time for her to give the kids back to their mom she refused and she left the area," Waters told the paper.
The Harris County district attorney's office charged Tavey, 44, with five counts of kidnapping. Spokeswoman Donna Hawkins told The Associated Press that constables had contacted Tavey's attorney before filing charges against her on Monday but that the woman refused to return the children.
Tavey told The Dallas Morning News that she plans to turn herself in as soon as she talks to her attorney. No lawyer for Tavey could immediately be located by The Associated Press. Hawkins said she did not know the name of Tavey's attorney.
Tavey told WFAA earlier Wednesday in Fort Worth, before the Amber Alert was issued, that the children's "parents are into drugs, crime and I know God put these kids into my hands to take care of."
"My whole thing is the safety and well-being of the kids is number one," Tavey told WFAA. "And that's why I've taken the efforts I have to remove them from all of that harm and hurt toward them."

Newark man pleads guilty to death of 2-year-old son
A Licking County man whose trial was supposed to start today in the methadone-overdose death of his 2-year-old son pleaded guilty instead.
Daniel Masters, 34, of Newark, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and child endangering in the death of Benjamin Scott Masters.
Benjamin died March 10. Toxicology tests showed the boy died from ingesting methadone. Masters later admitted that he left the boy and his 1-year-old brother alone in the bathroom with an open bottle of the narcotic pain reliever. He returned a minute later to find Benjamin holding the bottle.
Sentencing was set for Sept. 4.
Jury convicts teen of killing another teen last year
A Rochester teenager was convicted today of slaying another teen last year.
State Supreme Court jurors acquitted De’Shequan L. Nathan, 17, of second-degree murder but convicted him of first-degree manslaughter in the shooting of Christopher Jones, 16, on Nov. 17, 2007.
Nathan, who unsuccessfully claimed he was drunk and was defending a friend in a fight, faces a mandatory prison term ranging from five years to 25 years when Justice Joseph D. Valentino sentences him Sept. 18, said Assistant District Attorney Avik Ganguly.
“We’re pleased with the verdict and the fact that the jury saw through the defendant’s claims that he was too drunk and was justified in this horrible act,” Ganguly said.
Jones was gunned down with one shot fired from a sawed-off .22-caliber rifle at Lexington Avenue and Pierpont Street. His brother, Mace Forbes, 24, was shot and wounded a couple of houses away from the same corner on July 15.
Jones and another teen got into a fist fight because the other teen was upset that his 13-year-old female cousin was hanging around with Jones, the prosecution said.
A friend of Jones pulled him away from the fight, but Jones ran back and landed another punch, according to testimony. Witnesses said Nathan, a friend of the teen with whom Jones fought, pulled out his rifle, raised it at Jones and fired, hitting Jones in the chest.
