JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A South African man shot three weeks ago was told to "walk the pain off" and is still trying to persuade hospitals to remove the bullet lodged in his side, a newspaper said Thursday.

Three Johannesburg hospitals refused to remove the bullet for security guard Phillip Mashiane, 38, who was shot during a burglary at the property of South Africa's ambassador to the United Nations, the Star newspaper said.
The bullet passed through his elbow and entered his body just above the hip, missed his vital organs and stopped beneath the skin on the opposite side of his body, the Star said.
Mashiane told the paper he was turned away by one private hospital because he could not afford the bills while a public hospital took X-rays and kept him in for observation before patching him up and sending him home with painkillers.
When he returned a doctor told him to "walk the pain off."
Doctors at a third hospital said it could not remove the bullet because Mashiane had started treatment elsewhere.
"I want my life back. I need to work and all I ask is for them to help me," Mashiane told The Star.
South Africa is battling some of the highest rates of violent crime in the world, and its underfunded public hospitals struggle to treat all those who need healthcare.

Been down for a Min... But I'm 100%
Well I was a little under the weather for about a week but now I am back to 100%, ready to raise havoc (well not really LOL).
Be looking out for some male-bashing blogs coming up which includes:
- 10 Classic signs That you Man/Woman is Cheating
- Relationship Hell
- WTF??
But I will be also taking the pain out of it as well with things to help your relationship with your mate out. Some things have been tried and true by me or someone I know personally, and I want to share them with the world. I will not profess to be another Zane, Oprah, Dr. Phil, or anyone else for that matter, I am simply here to help out the real voluptuous divas to take your place as the woman of distinction, beauty, and grace that I know that you possess.
Until we meet again...
Peace, Love and Hair Grease

Is Kissing Sooooo Bad?
A friend and I was talking yesterday about the art of kissing. She then told me about a guy that she was seeing at one point that told her that he didn't kiss at all. He told her that he didn't kiss at all because it was 'too personal'. The irony was that he was more than willing to eat her out without a second thought. That didn't make sense to my friend or I. If he was more than willing to rug-munch (which I think is more personal than a kiss), why couldn't he kiss?
While we both agreed that prositutes dont kiss their johns because a kiss is intimate and personal, why does the average person not kiss? I want to hear the pros and the cons on this issue.....

Venting on DC men - Yahoo 360 Repost (with comments)
Here is a repost of my venting on DC men from Yahoo 360 and the comments that I received....
Hello to one and all! I gotta vent for a minute! Fellas, you can put your two cents spin on it. Maybe I am not seeing something.
I have had a BlackPlanet.com page for years and have came across some nice people and some fine yet stupid people. When I moved back into the DC area, my stupid people volume have tripled... YES PEOPLE, TRIPLED!
What I refer to stupid people, I refer to the men that leaves one-line notes such as "damn", "hi sexy", and my personal favorite, "when can I tap that ass?". Most of these notes gets ignored or deleted immediately after opening it, but there are times where I want to know why a person send these types of notes. The response that I got from these niglets can be placed under one word: SEX. Apparantly, these guys feel that the women on BP are an easy lay, and they dont have to use other websites like FuckMeAndLeave.com (fmandl.com) and Online Booty Call.com (OBC.com). Unfortunately for these niglets, this is grounds for a good cursing out by any sensible woman who don't want that in their lives.
The next step up is the men that want to see you 'not now, but right now'. Mind you, these guys dont know your name, never spoke to you over the phone, and may have chatted with you once or twice. They are ready to meet you (mainly at their place) without even knowing the basic information about the woman. C'mon now, think!
Now I know that there are gentlemen in this area that knows the basics and the foundation of having a fun, solid relationship or even friendship. Most of them are just trying to get another notch in their belt or sowing their royal oats. If you want respect from the queens, you have to respect yourself.
Now, the comments.....
"Some guys just never grow up. I'm sorry they can be that way, but many feel that if they keep trying they will luck up on that easy lay. That's my $.02 worth." - Sonny
"It is a main consensus among a large percentage of people on Blackplanet.com that it’s has in the latter years turned into serious “hook-up” site. There are many woman that boast how much they don’t want anything sexual and then you have those that put a lot of risqué and raunchy pictures on there page, yet they say don’t say anything sexual about these pictures and so on. Then you have those that are involved and they have breast and butt hanging out on there page, with all these vain attributes they are looking for in a guy who sends them a note. I feel a lot of guys are going to be a certain way regardless, but there are enough women that have been giving of themselves sexually that some guys are becoming more open and with the images that are displayed on there pages they feel that woman might be more open and willing to do sexual acts.
Women can’t have it both ways, you can’t have the most risqué pictures of yourself without expecting some type of sexual response. It’s sad and unfortunate, but it has to be expected. There are many guys who love sex, if they could get sex without doing anything, you could only imagine how many guys out here would stop doing a lot of the things they do for woman, just to have sex.
A lot of guys have had come across women that were open to meeting and doing various sexual things, all in the early off, with this being true, a lot of guys are going to take that and run with it, that’s why soo many guys continuously pursue woman in that fashion. Also note that many guys are trifling and are only out for themselves, that goes for guys on the street, that are very disrespectful and speak only out of the perverted little heads with feeding there sexual appetite, it’s just that simple. I don’t personally know any guys like that and I have never talked to any, so I can’t break down there exact outlook and so on.
The sad truth is there are very few true gentlemen in this area, many that claim the title, are nothing but posers that must think it starts and ends with merely opening the door for a woman, but that’s not the case. Then some only do it, to get in good with a woman, or they will only stand outside the door and hold it, if they are attracted to the woman. A lot of guys need mentors, they just have no clue of how to respect themselves and respect and treat a woman on all accounts. A true gentleman would never ask a woman to come to his place within the first 2 days of knowing her. Certain things should never be asked, then there are other things that should come later, but many guys ask all the wrong questions upfront, clearly disrespectful and showing that they care only about themselves and there wants.
There are many sites and many women that are openly about sex and hooking up, but there will always be guys that will just throw there demeaning comments and selfish wants at women, even when they don’t give off the clear vibe that she is all about sex." - Eric

Welcome to My World
This is the first for me.
I will be actually talking about my experiences in Washington, DC as a voluptuous diva. Let me give you a quick rundown on me. My name is StormAndThunda. I just moved back to the DC area last July. Yes, I'm single, and a diva in my own right. This will be my psersonal rants about the men in the DC area and the games that they play. If you come across me and act like a fool, you will get dismissed and then listed on here.
