I think so too, Jengs. Next it will be, you have to pay to check in, pay for security to bug the ####### out of you, tip the person who scans your ticket...............



I'm cringing of how much my sister's wedding might cost if we have to pay to check all our bags. I'm trying to get her to utilize "barrells"

If you book your ticket now, they CAN'T charge you in Dec....Then can only implement new rules to affect people buying tickets AFTER the announcement...


Oh ok, I have my tickets and we are going in Aug. I'm going to have to check the websites and print of the policy cause i'm sure someone will be trying to charge me and I'll be vex.


Rules apply to the baggage, doesn't matter when you booked. That's a rule across the board.

Please mention to your sister, if they are bringing wedding favors down or shipping early....do NOT MENTION that she's bringing wedding/party favors to anyone checking luggage or customs as they be asked to pay import and export taxes and they can get reeeeal shi&&y!!

I highly recommended to a client to specifically NOT to ship her favors for her wedding prior to her arrival and to bring them in some that were traveling -- I was also invited and I said I'd even take some in my luggage. They wanted to charge her $200 - 300 ?? She didn't listen to alot of advice that I had given to her. They had never traveled to Jamaica and I went *with* them to basically "babysit".....when I found out that she was getting charged for all of that...I went and had myself a beer in the lounge !!!




really? when US air changed their baggage policy recently I had already booked a ticket and the change didnt go into effect until May...so I guess once they set a date it doesnt matter when you booked if you are TRAVELING past that date...but if you are traveling before the changes are implemented then you should be okay


Every airline is different, here are just a few that have put in the new baggage requirement...
USA 3000: Effective 5/1/08 the baggage allowance aboard all USA3000 flights will be 1 checked bag weighing no more than 50lbs and measuring no more than 62 linear inches. Additional bags will be accepted at a charge of $25 per bag each way. Bags over 50lbs

3/25 /08 --Delta Air Lines will now charge $25 for passengers wishing to check a second piece of luggage. Elite frequent flyers and high-fare-paying customers may be exempted from this new rule.

SOUTHWEST -
Baggage Allowance: Beginning January 29, 2008, Southwest will allow two (2) checked pieces of baggage per ticketed Customer. Size and weight limitations apply.

Excess Baggage: Effective January 29, 2008, you may check a third bag for a charge of $25. Your 4th through 9th bag or item will incur a charge of $50 per piece, and any bag or item thereafter will be $110 per piece.

03/31/08 --Northwest Airlines will match Delta, United, and US Airways in charging coach-class passengers within North America $25 for a second checked bag. The new rule goes into effect May 5.

AirTran will now charge passengers $10 each way for checking a second bag, effective on bookings immediately for flights ticketed to travel starting May 15. Additional checked bags will incur $50 charges each. (Elite frequent flyers and business-class travelers will not pay the fees.)

US Airways - second checked bag will be assessed a $25* fee. The new fee applies to travel on or after May 5 for tickets purchased on or after February 26, 2008.

I will have to respectfully disagree with this...

If you check ALL airlines, NONE of them charge passengers who booked BEFORE a cut off date...They CANNOT just arbitrarily change the allowance if the passenger has already got a ticket and therefore a valid contract with them.

From Northwest airline's website

I purchased my ticket before March 29, 2008 but am traveling after May 5, 2008. Will I be assessed a fee for the second piece of checked luggage?
No, customers ticketed prior to March 29, 2008 will not be assessed the fee for the second piece of checked luggage.

http://www.nwa.com/f...x.html#purchase

From US Airways website
What is the new baggage policy?

US Airways announced that it will begin assessing a $25 fee for a passenger’s second checked bag. Passengers can continue to check one bag free of charge. The fee applies to travel that occurs on or after May 5, 2008. Travelers who purchased travel before Feb. 26 for travel on or after May 5 are exempt from the policy change.

Well, now tht I spoke with him things do look better. He actuallygot there a little after 8am and got #25 and went through to the CO who reviewed his papers and said everthing is ok but she needs the other copy of the PC. When he comes back with it, he will get the visa. I looked at the copy that I have and it seems like it is the original, so I will bring it down when I go in two weeks. He is rescheduled for June 26th.


Thank you all for your empathy in this overwhelming situation. I really appreciate it. I am more upset about it than he is. He said that it will work itself out and that God know best. Not to worry. I wish I had the inner calm that he has. Thngs like this does not bother him as much as it does me.

I am so sorry to hear, but thank goodness he gets to go straight back!!!


Yardies, I hope you TAKE NOTE!!

The Embassy is just WAITING and HOPING they can say NO to you, make sure you have EVERYTHING they could POSSIBLY ask for...They seem to take GREAT DELIGHT in making it as HARD as possible.....

The only name that I could remember was NewYorksfinest...I deleted most of messages so fast and blocked her because I was so upset. So, she strated harrasing me in my yahoo mailbox (that's also blocked).

I'm past that now. But if this person is reading this, all I want to know is WHY ME? Still, if you're reaching out for HELP! It's here for you. No hard feelings. Once again, I'm past that now.

Mr or Ms. Ewok; I'll see if I wrote down some of the other names at work. Since I posted that message, I've not gotten a reply YET. So, maybe this person gets it.

And you know what, I BET it's probably someone in this thread!!!

Hopefully MR Ewok can ban the IP smile.gif

Jax,
Here's a secret...if you look at the color of her fingers...right above her cuticles...that's typically a good indicator of what her final complexion will be. I didn't believe it either until I did a test on my 2nd son, Gavin. I checked out right above his cuticles...a few days after his birth...it was darker than my complexion or my ex husbands...but sure enough his complexion is true to the color of his cuticles...he doesn't look like either one of us...Gavin looks straight Koolie...but is the dead stamp of his older cousin... wacko.gif blink.gif Genes are an AMAZING thing!

Bless,
Gill

P.S.- I hope I didn't offend anyone with this tip!
P.P.S- Don't forget to post the pink dress picture...I love Baby girl's clothes...they are so cute...dem come in like dollie! laughing.gif luv.gif

LOL...it's not a a secret!!!!
Also, you can tell by the colour of their ears....Sometimes it's harder to judge by their ears because if their ears are hairy, they can seem darker...

Question..

If u were on a investigation panel..investigation sexual harassment. The alleged harasser deniew the claim and the hrassed says it happened..and has 1 witnes that said she saw advances and such..and a boyfriend she told of the incident..what would u do in this case being on the panel ?

Probably convict.....


would you ? i guess you could argue both sides...cause u don't need to file a claim based on what happened to u but rather what/how some else felt...hmmm..lawd u mek mi gone back to square blasted one.. whistling.gif

The way I see it, the alleged harasser lied if there is an independent witness saying they saw something...The boyfriend;s testimony is not enough on its own because of the fact he's clearly going to be on her side....It all really comes down to the impartiality of the witness.
Now, as you said later on, if there is a note as well, that supports finding him guilty.
As for what to do, you would have to consult the employee handbook and decide whether the harassment warrants firing or a final warning...Whatever you decide, whether the allegation is proven or not, the two must not work together again. If you decide in the alleged harassed's favor and decide not to fire him, HE must be moved away. If you decide that there is no case to answer, they BOTH need to be moved. Leaving one there are moving the other will merely open yourself up to allegations of discrimination.

Thanks Ja English good.gif

I haven't slept a lot lately. We just got the breast pump today. I could only find medela pump hope it works. Dwain is having 8 of his friends over tonight for jerk, fesival, rice and beans, and maybe plantain he is driving around liker crazy and can't find any after 4 grocery stores. He is checking one more hopefully they have some.

JaEnglish do you have to heat the milk on the stove?




i have the medela pump i was going to use....a friend who used it said it was great!! so i am sure it will be good for you!!

if you got the milk storage bags you can heat in hot water....not the microwave....i got a little container that i put hot water in and then sit the bottle in it for 5-10 mins to take the chill off of it....what kind of bottles are you using???

heyyyyyy Nanny!! Nice to see you posting!!

How's the little princess doing????

Can I also recommend cabbage leaves in your bra if your breasts get swollen when your milk comes in...really eases the pain!!

You can heat it three ways....in a cup of boiling or hot water (or under the faucet), microwave it (make SURE you SHAKE it up HARD to ensure there are no hot 'pockets' that will burn her mouth, or as you said in a pot on the stove. You can also buy a bottle warmer and use that....
I used the medela pump in hospital, not as good for me as the Advent, but it may be fine!!!
If you can, pump near the baby, it sounds silly, but the milk comes faster if you're looking at the baby while pumping....

Just curious?

Are there any other American men that have married or going to marry a Jamaican? Or is everyone on here an American woman marrying a Jamaican man?

They've all disappeared once they got their intended abroad, thankless I tell you!

There was Eric, Trinilad and another guy whose name I don't recall...

Does anyone know the email address for the Embassy in Kingston? I want to contact them to inquire if they are wheelchair accessible. I am planning ahead just in case my broken ankle is not totally healed by then.

Has anyone's SO doing the IR/CR process, ever attended the interview by themselves and has a good outcome? I want so much to be there and I am hoping and praying I can attend.

Thanks

I would get a doctor's certificate if you're worried. Have heard of both K1'ers and IR's partners NOT attending and still being approved smile.gif

I wou;d advise you get an Avent one....Used that for both mine and they are EXCELLENT!
Buy some breast milk storage bags to freeze your milk and store it in your freezer.

I know that is right. I hate every minute of being pregnant with both my kids. You may be the only other person I have ever heard say that.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooo....you must not have listened to me!!!!
I hated EVERYTHING about being pregnant with both my sons, the ONLY thing that kept me going with my first was that I couldn't wait to see his face....With my second, I did actually feel love for him while pregnant (something that didn't happen with my first)...I actually thought there was something wrong with me, I was missing a maternal gene or something.....When my first was born, while I felt a strong instinct to take care of him, I didn't LOVE him which felt awful....Then, when he was may be six weeks old, it hit me like a TON of bricks how much I loved him....With this last baby, he was in hospital for two days after I was and when they discharged me on the Monday and said they were keeping him in, I cried for four hours lol.....

Whenever anyone says they're pregnant, I feel a shiver of thankfulness it ISN'T me laughing.gif

Good Morning Claire,

Your time is coming. I'm so happy for you.

My fiance's friend has a follow-up appointment at the embassy this morning and he text me and told me that it looks like the guard that pulled my dress at the embassy went back to work today. He should have been FIRED! But I didn't want to push any buttons since the interview wasn't scheduled yet and no approval. I'm still very much upset about it.

My sister had a scare yesterday it took them 2 hours to find the baby's heartbeat and entire time my mom kept suggesting that they turned my sis and they refused. So, the doctor comes in and asked "didyou try to turn her" soon as they did that they found the heart beat. I was so scary. So, please keep my sis in your prayers. My little brother is doing okay. He went back to work yesterday.

I managed to get 3 hours sleep last night. Haven't slept since Monday. I look like MAD MAVIS!


Will keep your sis in my prayers, will also pray that she remains safe from the INCOMPETENCE of people around her...it's like they were too caught up in themselves to think your mom could be RIGHT ranting33va.gif
DAMNNNNNN.....your brother had HEART SURGERY LAST week, and back to work THIS WEEK????????

Travelling in and out of JA has always been an adventure for me - On my first trip ever on Air JA (and to Jamaica), we had the most bizarre experience on the return trip - I was exhausted to the point that as soon as I sat in my seat I was asleep. Some Jamaican woman woke me up to cross over me into the seat next to me - She proceeded to hand me her baby to hold while she went and got the rest of her family sorted out. I couldn't believe it - I was dead asleep, then next think I knew I was holding this chubby baby!

r u serious?? girl that is too funny, not only that she put her baby in a stranger's arms, but one that was DEAD SLEEP DWL.. how nice it must be to live in a culture so carefree, JAMAICA JAMAICA

It's funny, when I first went to England, I used to treat babies the way you do in Jamaica, ie if they are doing something wrong you stop them, or talk to them etc....Stopped that pretty quick whistling.gif

Funniest thing is when my son was two years old, we went to Jamaica and every time someone passed us in the street, he'd wave. They would ALWAYS wave back and say hi to him, men women and children.
We went back to London he tried that a few times they didn't even see him lol....

I have held people's babies while they went to the bathroom, or looked after them on planes etc.....Again, when my son was younger and I took him to JA just the two of us, I NEVER had to worry about him at the beach because EVERYONE would be looking after him, it's just a cultural thing, children are a GROUP project, not just the responsibility of the parents....
