Mexico, Latin & South America	Yardies at Home and a Farrin (part14)	QUOTE (RoxcieJoe @ Apr 20 2009, 08:39 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Shemmy do the 4 days cruise to the Bahamas out of Orlando, Fla. You can kill two birds with one stone, visit the Bahamas, and relaxation on the open seas. Plus, you only need one other partner to share a room with, the other person can even be your daughter. That's a good idea Roxie. That's my next big trip - a cruise that stops in Jamaica for the day. How did the award ceremony go Rox?	Islandwoman	Female	Jamaica	2009-04-20 19:56:00
Mexico, Latin & South America	Yardies at Home and a Farrin (part14)	QUOTE (sus @ Apr 20 2009, 07:14 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Obviously I am familiar with Mahogany - Hibiscus is in the same area - they are not in town, so they might be a nice location for the wedding, but maybe not the best for people to stay at - because they aren't walking distance to places. I think you are better off giving your friends a variety of options - I did that with mine, just gave them average prices, what sites to check, etc... We are all staying at Rooms. Carib Beach Apts are at Mahogany Beach, but they are individually owned so it wasn't working when I tried to book enough rooms for all of us. Some airlines, if you email them direct, will give a discount rates - people just need to call and give the wedding party name - I know American does - but I think you have to have a large group travelling. I just gave my friends the info - I also did their rooms, I bid on skyauction and got them cheap rates - My thing was that I gave them the info and different options and left it up to them for their flights- Another place you could check into is Cara/Yankeesgirl's SO's family owns/run two resorts. That's where she and her family stay when they go down and it looks beautiful from her photos. I went to the website and they do weddings right there. She has the photos [osted on Facebook - I can't remember the names of the places though. Check her for the info.

I wish he would have left her and called for help anonymously. Like what if she still was alive? It also made me see how foolish and blessed I am. I only met my SO once and then the next time I seen him he was picking me up at the airport and we wee on our way to his freaking house.

I also watched the movie after that where the lady got her girl back after six years. She knew that was her baby and she was right and I also watched The #1 Ladies Detective Agency. Jill Scott must have really studied hard for that part because has that accent down pact!! I agree about the sea. Did ya catch where she wiggled her fingers just after they put her in the boat. And who helped him....the dad?? I remember when it was really happening and the scoured the island looking for her and I had the thought back then that they dropped her in the sea and the sea creatures took her away. I watched the 2nd one too - I agree she was awesome!! And the one before the Natalie Holloway movie. Been a long time since I watched 3 Lifetime movies in a row. I was in the "mood" yesterday....

We are always warm and the chilly time doesn't last long enough to change our mood.It's like a cocoon that no matter how much we fight to get off it the memories take us back home.So we shed tears for just being on the soil and that's why we cry or stand and pause for a moment when we get out of the airport.The air is breathtaking and the feeling is strong enough to get a pleasant reaction.WE are home.

Mexico, Latin & South America	Yardies at Home and a Farrin (part14)	QUOTE (nycgirl @ May 11 2009, 10:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi Ladies!!! I have a question (don't I always have a question when I come on here?).....for those of you who's men are here, what are they doing for work? Are the opportunities what he had expected? Are they making the type of money that they imagined (if they imagined it). Has there been disappointment with the job market and the salaries?? Is is easy or hard to find work? Any of the men going to school? For those of you who are waiting for their men, what are your or his plans for employment? Have you done research on that? Are you waiting til he gets here to think about it? Just wondering!!! I'm in the waiting category - every week I read the job market in my local papers and keep a running list of companies that I see would apply to him, some I would never even think of. I have been working on setting him up with odd jobs in the meantime even if they are not his career (such as painting our office, bussing tables and doing set up at the hotel I work at, etc.) I also have a honey-do list a mile long.... but being able to work is a big issue for him, especially since he is leaving a good job in Jamaica. As far as the schooling goes, we will see what else will be needed. I have heard that some people have had to take the GED test to get a US diploma, even though they graduated in Jamaica.

Not Warlord the Five Star General he had a white spot ( he was crazy I took him to the shelter he was doing unholy things!) Well Rudebwoy passed away last week this is why I am trying to find another Kittie to cuddle with. Papito's (he was my baby with the white feet) Mom just had 3 kittens, my neighbor is taking care of them now, I can put in a good work for you for one of them. I'm so glad you are going back during the Holiday. We will never forget Hurricane Gustav will we ? Philly, while I don't know what you remember about Gustav, that hurricane DEFINITELY is permanently etched in my memory. I flew to Jamaica the Thursday it was scheduled to hit there, against the wishes of EVERYONE I know. But that was the trip where I wanted to see how serious things could get with my SO. It was during that trip (my 4th to Negril in less than a year) that I became 100% sold on him and our future. I love how we were confined to the hotel while the power/water were out. I still tell him that I want to "play Gustav" which means isolate ourselves from the rest of the world. Fond memories... SO! I get home from work and check the mail and to my EXTREME delight, I had a letter from USCIS! I started jumping around and screaming! I was SO HAPPY about FINALLY receiving my NOA2. I opened it, and it was merely a notice that they received my change of address. No touch on the website.either. Awww...Nat, what a let down. Sorry Girl. Love the hurricane story though.

Because I think that I am insulin resistant, so I stay away from things that raise my blood sugar level too much & cause the pancreas to release a lot of insulin. That's why I use nut flour (finely crushed nuts) & Splenda instead of flour and sugar. I'd substitute the heavy whipping cream cause I don't keep milk in the house, but usually have cream. I'd substitute the choc chips because, strangely, I don't like chocolate chips! Even in cookies, I like the chocolate FLAVOR, but not the chips. Give me a sugar or peanut butter or oatmeal raisin cookie over a choc chip cookie anyday (except for these days, as I'm avoiding sugar). Got it! Where do you buy nut flour? I've never heard of such a thing.	Islandwoman	Female	Jamaica	2009-05-12 07:53:00

Of course he won't believe me until it's done. This is some of the 'adjustment' stuff I was wondering about the other day. Like having to make room and thin out our wardrobes among other things. My mister keeps saying he won't have much to bring either. But then I told him, you better bring every article of clothing you own cause the only thing I'll be able to buy right away is warm stuff. Everything else will have to wait because this is a lot of $$$ output! If he were to come with nothing, that would mean a whole entire wardrobe to buy him.....NO SAH! Of course your daughter was picking stuff she liked....but at least she was thinking of him too! I couldn't imagine starting my warobe over from scratch, especially when I cleaned out some t-shirts that I had since the early 90's! But I've heard many say it so it must be one of the dreams bout farrin - new home = new clothes. But you're right, we could all get lots of new stuff for what all this costs.

My mister's medical is tomorrow morning and poor baby is so nervous. He keeps asking me what things to bring and who he has to ask for when he gets there and where it is and what they're going to do to him. This is going to be a big accomplishment for him when he's all done with this. QUOTE (Islandwoman @ May 11 2009, 06:22 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ditto what Sus said up to the partying. Since it was great weather here this weekend my kids and I did tons of chores around the yard, cleaned the house and my son scrubbed the winter season out of the car. I cleaned out 3 bags of stuff from my closet and dresser so A could at least have a section and two drawers. I have been really hush about Anthony coming to my kids and family until I was sure. I told my kids on Saturday and my daughter has asked me at least a dozen times "is he really coming?? I'm so excited - I can't wait." As if the wait isn't hard enough - lol. We went grocery shopping on Saturday and she had to pick up lots of extras "cuz she knows he would like those". T, you're giving me inspiration to do the same since I really need to. I was able to de-clutter a little this weekend but it seems to be a monumental task. However, I need to focus on the closet and drawer space for my mister as well. Maybe that will be the project this week in the evenings. That is so cute about the grocery shopping and picking up things he'll like! He'll be just fine. When it's over he'll wonder what he was so nervous about!! Well Dillon told me I had to make at least a lil room for him! He kept telling me he wasn't bringing anything so I said ok, just wear my clothes then and I won't have to clean my closet. He has since decided he would pack a bag. She was cute..now mind you she was picking up all the stuff SHE liked.... QUOTE (phillyfashionista @ May 11 2009, 01:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> DADA were you watching I love money? I finally watched the finale and the reunion. I was hoping IT would take it all the way that would have been pure comedy. Ok why is my old Boss all up in my business and my new Boss is like "Back Up"!
