man i'm hoping its all just a big misunderstanding even though this is my suzie sunshine self talking
but there is always another side to the story
but either way, her relationship has been broken
i've never met her or seen her post before this but i hope she finds the strength to move forward

I don't know anything about anything... but why are there doubts this would be true?
Pictures on FB and all... isnt that a confession?
Its all a little innapropriate I would say.

i've only seen pics of classychic and i barely remember them, i don't have her as a freind on fb
i've never seen kelly nor have i ever heard of her or the situation before
i say if it's true because she said she hasn't confirmed it yet
either way i hope she can find the strength to put back the peices together, this is heart breaking

Sorry Bunz, I didnt mean to put it that way. It seemed a couple people were saying "if" and I thought maybe there was another side you all had heard.

I looked into them; but cannot remember why I decided it wasn't for me.

Isnt' that always the way? Used to make me so mad that you could call Japan for like 3 cents a minute but JA was so expensive or not included at all. Don't say world-wide if you aren't!!!!

I always run into this. And then if it is included... its land lines only. In fact Time Warner would charge me 10.99 a month for unlimited land line calls... but no one has a land line! How you gonna have a landline with you dont have electricty! I mean Louis' mom uses an extension cord that comes from another house!

From that last link:

there are no poisons you can use that will not also be a risk to or available to pets or other, more desireable wildlife, not to mention the possibility (however remote) of kids getting into it. Even if the posion is restricted to areas like garbage cans, dead poisoned raccoons can be consumed by dog or cats which then become poisoned themselves.

I thought my uncle was crazy when he said that. lol I'm not going to poison the animal, I'll find another solution. Maybe we can put a brick on the lid to the trash can Ja Princess, Hopefully, I won't find any kids on my deck. lol My deck doesn't have any steps.

Call animal control, or do you have a local wildlife sanctuary? They may come with a humane trip and pick him up.

Hi Dillon!

We had a good weekend. My friend called and asked if Tierra could spend the night saturday (our daughters are BFFS) so Louis and I went out. I ran into a French girl I went to college with. She had a friend who started chatting with Louis about football. I love it when Louis makes friends. So this guy (HOT!!) had this nice accent... asked where he was from. His "mum" was fast he said.... he was 1/2 english 1/2 Mauritous (spelling??) ... he has a sister that is 1/2 Jamaican and a sister that is 1/2 Lucian! LOL... said she had a preference for the darker persuation!!

I love running into fun adults while out ... and not just foolish youngins'!

How was your weekend... how are the kids getting along?

sounds like a nice time...i am just itching to go out with hubby. can't ever seem to find a sitter or someone to watch the kids. they kids are getting along great...just like they have been brother and sister forever.

That is so nice to hear! Good kids!

Yes I was so excited about my friend calling! Unexpected surprise!
My mom will take her every once in a while if I plan ahead... but Tierra says she is boring! LOL

Sunny... be careful with the antifreeze stuff. If any neighbors have cats or dogs it will kill them also. Antifreeze is sweet and they will lick it up.
You may end up with more than a dead raccoon.... you may be able to call animal control and get a humane trap.. they will come and get the racoon and let it go somewhere else.

Joel got his CG, within 3 weeks time. Since he already had a SS from his previous work stay here in 2007. This did make getting everything within this week time easier. We got GC, State ID, Bank Acct and Credit Card, cell phone account all within this time period. We are waiting on Driver Lic, he will have to take a 3 week, class, so no need to rush.

Now we have job applications out, just waiting for a call back.

that's great!
how hard is it to get a cell phone plan?

Sprint has a plan with a credit limit associated with it, so when he goes over 350.00 they shut his phone off, until he pays them to no be over the 350.00 credit limit. This helps with the JA calls....

In order for that good job.... SCHOOL!!!

He keeps building tables and benches etc... the apartment doesnt have enough room, but he is doing that instead of studying. I told him .. .get your GED and go to carpentry school if thats what you want... TAKE BUSINESS CLASSES!

He hasnt even smoke the you know what in MONTHS and he is still being a slacker.

Ells, that is so nice that he likes school! I wish Louis did. He has taken the "pre GED" test and did great with the english part but BAD in math. He needs to study but makes excuses instead. If he would just buckle down and get the GED he could go to community college and get back into TV stuff like he did in St Lucia. He worked at the island's TV station.. but of course their equipment was nothing like a station here would have so he needs to learn!
I get a little frustrated with him when it comes to this. I mean I hated school to, but I do what I have to do.

Oh he took his permit test last week and FAILED! He is taking again on 10/1. He really needs to pass it. I need him to get his lisence. He could do stuff without me... he could have more freedom. But he never drove in SLU and he is BAAAD! Ugh!

I sure wish I lived out there... they could teach each other!!! LOLOLOL

their responses sound so scripted tho, im like.. "is this a real person LOL".. do u have scripts to how u have to answer certain questions..

they SAY that we are supposed to be able to do that real soon now.. like when ppl are on our website ,we can assist them w/ the live chat.. and show them things on their screen like a weather man LOL..hmmm we'll see..

I have never bothered to do it. That would have to be on a day I really wanted to work! LOL. Mostly the agents just chime in on us. They click the live help button and it ring the computer and then those of us logged in can grab it.

wow italy 8 times! sounds like fun
how do u manage with your hubby now
can u travel like u used to?

Actually, since 9/11 and this economy mess I havent traveled much at all. The 6 months in St Lucia was it for the last 6 years. I have been with JDB for 13 or 14 years now. So most of the travel was pre-Tierra. I did 1 trip to Italy when she was 1 or 2. And I traveled down to VA (headquarters) a bunch of times. my mom always helped out.
If Louis ever gets his lisence it will be nice. I am sorry to say this, but he is not a good driver. He never drove in SLU either and I am not a very good driving instructor.
I should be going to Italy again in a few months, they are starting trips up again. If anything my mom could come stay with Louis and Tierra to help out. She is good like that. I am gone at the most 10 days.

With Louis here, it should be enable me to travel more!!

I hope they send me to JA and let Louis come along... that would be soooooo nice!

A few months ago, I received a hand-delivered personalized invitation to this catering company's event. They setup shop for about 3 hours with tons of food they offer. It was downstairs in one of the big conference rooms.

I was the only person on my floor invited. I asked why I was invited & their reason was similar to what you said: they were able to pull all their website visitors over the past several months & get those people's office information (??). That's how they chose who to invite to the feast. I had NO recollection of visiting their site, but am glad I did!

Wow! Good Deal.

Tierra's father has one in Florida and it is stupid! I don't see the point of him having one. Most of the time Tierra cannot hear him, it disconnects. If the internet service is bad so is the phone service. Also, sometimes we cannot get calls to go through to him.
