Newschool I know this is address to Molly and Der68, but I just have to ask. Since you are new and all, how did you come to the conclusion that only these two ladies from THE BOARD, are the only ones that have attended DER funeral? Just curious. For the record I didn't go.

[This is NEWSCHOOL]

Sorry, I could not log on at work. But to answer your question, I asked because based on the conversations I have read, it seems that Molly is a friend from way back and der68 is a girlfriend from way back. I haven't figured out who is who yet, so that is why I asked them. I think common is a friend of the family and you really didn't state your relationship. Therefore, I have not came to any conclusion as you have accused me of.

Listen, I'm not on this board to start confusion or to be questioned as to why I asked a certain person a question. When I say I love this man and can't expalin why and that is what I mean. There is something about him that makes me feel this way. I wish I were older when he was alive so I could have learned more about him. Therefore, I thought that by communicating on this board would help me learn about a man that I really do admire. I like Eddie and I have researched about Paul, but David, I don't know it is different. I am 29 years old and most people my age are focusing on the artist of today. I am in a different catergory than that of my peers. Every weekend, my children and I watch some type of tempt footage. I search Ebay, the web, etc., for anything new that I don't have, as long as David is included. My hobby is reading. I usually read on crime novels, but since I have been researching about David, I try to read everything I can find. Sorry if I offended you Joy because I did not ask you. This will be my last post, from now on I'll just read. I don't like to get out of line or disrespect anyone, because I am a professional, educated young lady who spends her days prosecuting and nights learning about the man that I admire and adore. I am not used to being questioned about my actions, that is usually what I do

Also, to clarify, when I say I love David, I mean as an artist, not in any lustful way. I admire him as a person that I would have not mind calling dad, despite his troubles.

By all means I am not offended that you didn't ask me. I was just asking a question, as you have done as well. Please this is a message board you are free to ask question of any kind to whom you feel. As everyone else is. I along with the other members may ask you question as you may ask others, no need to get defensive. IT’S NOT THAT SERIOUS.

I was wondering because, you just ask a question on the 22nd asking WHO was WHO, in regards to me, Molly, Queen, and Morning Sun. And then today you have selected that these two ladies are the only ones that attended his funeral. I guess if it had said Who on the board attended….. Then it would have been clearly to me-that was all. It is all-good. You are not causing any confusion. Not to me anyway, because everytime I come to the board the pieces of the puzzle just slowly come together.

Hello NS. I did not get to go to Ruffin's funeral. My sister was dying,so I lost a sister and a good friend the same summer. My ex-husband did attend.
I am sorry that you took offense to Joy's question. I too had wondered how you knew certain members names being new to the board. It was an innocent question and since it has been asked and answered we can move on. We ask and answer many questions on this board, That's how we all learn. The common bond we have is our love and appreciation for David Ruffin. O's mini-series did some good in renewing an interest in his life and music. I am happy because 13 years after his death Ruffin is still attracting fans. I think this would have touched and humbled him. I hope you will take the time to get to know us as we welcome the opportunity to get to know you.

Please NS don't be offended by Joy's statements; we are very protected of the members, contexts, and of David. Joy means well when you get know her she is very a sweat person just like all the members on the board (except broman lazzzzy) If you want to beat up on someone he is the one. Don't worry he is never here unless he is begging Bee for items. Btw NS, broman is looking for a job can you help him out. Word of caution, you might have take him to work he only works 1 1/2 day at the palace.

Sorry for digressing, Last week, the palace was WWWIII battle ground, NS it was so heavy at the palace I had to run for cover. You probably was a visitor at the palace SORRY.

After reading the post, you thought we were ex,, fluzzies,,, wives,, and what have you.. I wish I was an ex,, child I will be on this board everyday telling my stories David did this and David did that. When I run out of stuff, I will developed Sun's trademark make up stuff.

Anyway,,, we gave you a wrong impression who we are.. some of us are close... some of us are...trying to be close.. and one person a OLD 1960 fluzzies(Joy).

We welcome your questions and concerns about DER. Most of the posts are open for everyone to answer unless we just don't have clue about the subject. You have seen a lot of my post direct to the members to answer giving everyone an opportunity to share their thoughts on the questions.


I remember when I first start posting everyone welcome my questions when I said something out of line a member told me off big time. Yes my feeling was hurt but I came to conclusion I am asking a member to open up his/her live to a complete stranger. Members did not know if I was going to write a best selling book or get the Nobel Piece Prize(I had a post was contender for the award but Bee stop that) all they knew is this child don't know anything and have to the nerve to get smart with us. I was hurt but I put my feelings back intact and continue to post.

In your post, "you said you admire David I not sure why" If I am incorrect please feel free to holler at me(Please be tender to me Sun and Joy wore me out last week). maybe I need to read your post again. Members on this board have David's personality sweet and humble, over time you are going to find yourself loving each member.

Okay now I have a bone to pick with you why in world did you said David was a father figure.. OMG... David is only 30 therefore too young to be a father figure. David will be 30 till eternity or until Joy jumps of the building. NS please go back and revisited your tempt tapes Does David looks like a father figure to you. David is the man the one only.. let me stop!!!!
