The second time, he swears they tried to poison him. He refuses to go back. Luckily, he's hooked on catfish now, which is readily available as a fresh fish of Missouri.

It seems like they should be able to go back to one of the judges who signed the Decree and get it expedited. They have to sign a Decree Nisi first, then 6 weeks later that can become final in a Decree Absolute.

All of this during morning rush hour. I was so tempted to turn back around and head home to curl up under the covers. I work downtown and it has been a living nightmare today. All I want to do is go home, lock my door, have a bottle of wine, and not speak, see, or hear from anyone today. Tomorrow might be a better day. Be Bless Roxcie I can only imagine what the afternoon rush hour will be like today I know, I don't know if I want to leave now or wait until 6:00 to night.

The police are saying they can't do anything because it's his mother. How in the HELL are you going to let anyone take a child, regardless of whether she says she is his mother or not, when you have never met the woman, and know that he doesn't live with her? Why didn't the school at least call someone before they let her take off with him? fi real, I could say i was the little boy's mother and they would let me walk away with him???

He cannot shave with a razor for one....if he does he needs to exfoliate his face everyday. I suggest Apricot scrub. Also try a hair conditioner as mix with his shave cream...I reccommend Motions. Get an exfiliating brush...they sell good ones at Body Shop and brush the scalp and face. Always moisturize the face with a face cream. The scalp should be fine with the conditioner ,and then like a baby oil gel every now and then...trust me his skin will likely soak it up in a couple hours After awhile his skin will become softer and more conditioned which eliminates the breeding ground of bumps. Now if he already has bad skin scars from the bumps you may have a bigger problem....and I am not really sure how to go about that. Have you tried Tend Skin? Its a bit pricey...$20 for a small bottle but it really works.

He knew if he was going to hang with both of us he better be committed. Tierra's father didnt want me to take her to St Lucia either.. but the judge busted him and realized his jealousy.

You think thats a good idea? The boy is borderline trife so I am trying to set her up best way I can. Her baby is taking HER name, not the fathers and if she want child support I told her to just have him do a DNA test, but as far as the BC....keep his name off of it. suggest she not put his name on it in the hospital, he can add it later on and she doesn't have to return the first certificate from the hospital, she can then use that for the passport.

Anywho, in 2005 I went on a trip with a group of friends to Belize and had the mister join me there. The flight was half the battle as he left Kingston and went to Haiti, Caymans then Panama (or some such combination - it didn't make any sense). He got to Panama with no trouble but leaving Panama for Belize proved to be quite the issue. They didn't want to let him leave the country. He was stuck there for three days, wasting all his travel money there on hotel, taxi and food before he was finally "allowed" to leave Panama for Belize City. Even once he got to Belize City they didn't want to let him leave for San Pedro Island where our group was staying. At least the owner of the house we were renting knew someone in immigration and convinced them that the mister would be returning to Jamaica. It was very kind of the man to give his guarantee. My man did finally make it but wasted alot of time and money to get to Belize. Just a word of warning. they didn't want him to leave the country or let him in country. Normally they let you out no problem.	Jengles	Female	Jamaica	2008-05-20 10:45:00

I am going down to Negril June 4-8 and my SO is booking our hotel. We were thinking of staying at Rondel Village cause I always thought it looked nice and its at a good location but I was wondering if anyone has ever stayed there?? He wanted to book a gardenside room but not only was the receptionist rude (according to him) but she said the garden side is under construction so only beachfront rooms are available. Has anyone heard of this? Also can anyone recommend somewhere else in the middle of the beach with similar amenities and also local-friendly? Thanks! Hey, Mommy - Try Hidden Paradise: http://www.hidden-paradise.com/ Kuyaba: http://www.kuyaba.com/ Legends: http://www.negrilhotels.com/ Thanks! Hey Mommy -- Me and AW stayed at Rondel in January. It was OK, the rooms are big and clean, but the staff did leave a little to be desired. The location is great -- right in the heart of 7 mile. You may also want to check out Country Country -- just stayed there in April for my birthday celebration and had a blast. The staff is very accomodating and welcoming. Good luck and have fun! Funny story about Rondell Village-- we were driving up to Negril after AW picked me up from the airport and he asked me to call the hotel since we were so late to make sure the were holding the room and also to ask about their location. So I called and we both spoke to the receptionist who gave AW directions on where the hotel was located in Negril. AW thanked the woman and we were on a merry way to Negril. When we get to the hotel we go to the front desk and a guy comes from the back to check us in -- he had the highest pitched and femine voice I've ever heard on a man. So the woman we thought we were talking to on the phone was actually a guy. The look on AW's face was priceless -- he looked at me and walked out the front door shaking his head. You know how our Jamaican men can be about men acting feminine. Needless to say I had to check us in and deal with the front desk receptionist for our entire trip -- AW REFUSED to step foot in the recption area all weekend. You just made me snort. lol	Jengles	Female	Jamaica	2008-05-19 14:29:00
