I don't think collard greens are the same no matter what Google says. Fake cabbage? ah ha hahahhhahahahah. That's funny.

Good luck on the barber. That was a major challenge to find one to stick with.


That's what he said too - dat not calaloo!

I told him on Monday we would walk the streets of Albany till we found a market and a barber!!

lol..
good luck w/ the food island, like u say, he get hungry enough, he will bend LOL
and u KNOW u should have been scouting out a barber already LOL!!!

yeah mon..the yardie thread back then was real informative cuz evrybody was going thru it at the same time so they were all EAGER to share it seems..


I know but he said he didn't need one he would do it himself cuz I have the razor to do my son's hair in the summer. He shaved with it one time and know wants to go back to a barber whistling.gif

You can, Island. You just have to look and compromise a bit..........

Try an international grocery store or another nationality. Managed to find one here with a small selection of JA foods......canned ackee, calaloo, salted cod, plantain, yams, coconuts, spices, Ting and champagne cola, patties, BIG bags of rice, spice bun, etc.

When you come to Dillon's wedding, I'll take you there.

Also visited local farmer's market to find oxtail, goat, spices, and then just used lots of fresh veggies.


Thanks JG. Part of is that things look different so he won't try it. We have collards greens (which google said is the same as calaloo), he wouldn't try cabbage, cucs looked fake, sugar cane looked scrawny, etc. But he's slowly coming around. We are going to my cousin's in New Hampshire this weekend which is 35 miles from Boston so I'm sure we can find some markets around there to pick up some things. I have my family who is closer to Albany on the look out for any WI markets down that way.

We are also on the hunt for a barber he likes cuz he says he will NOT go to naw "white" barber...

lol Bunz, I was the same way this morning and ended up being late for work. Luckily I don't have a set time to be in, just gotta put in the hours. I am going to have to set parameters for VJ, apparently I am out of control with it. I'm on morning, noon and night. Too ####### noisy I guess. yes.gif

I'm only caught up to page 286, but did have a couple of things to say before continuing to read:

Dada: LOL @ being picky, but not picky enough to be thin. I laughed a while after reading that.
Mrs Buggy: Thanks for sharing the story of your husband's first few weeks here. I hope that he did/will end up posting the experience from his point of view.

I posted pictures from my trip (well, 56 of 321) on Facebook. The surprise party went very well, even though the first of the guests arrived over 1.5 hrs later than scheduled, and the party didn't end up starting until 2 hrs+ after scheduled. More people showed up than I thought, and I got in trouble with hotel management, lol. But all's well that ends well! star_smile.gif

We went to a Tanya Stephens/Etana concert last night, but both of us were falling asleep at it. We'd been up since 2:30am for an EARLY drive to Kingston and back. After the Kingston drive, I focused on the surprise party. After the surprise party, we went to the concert, which also started 2 hrs later than scheduled.

Am I the only person who likes stuff to be on time???

Anyway, it's sad to be away from my babe. cray5ol.gif I don't even know what date I'll be back, since my only other Jamaica trip this year will be for the interview. Still no NOA2. I was hoping it would be waiting for me at home, but nope! I got the form to fill out to engage my Senator, if my approval doesn't come soon.


Welcome back Nat - loved your photos on FB! I always feel like I was just on the trip with you when I look at your photos.

see..i believe in teaching our children tobe responsible and help around the house..but we must remember not to cross that line that makes them feel as though they are grown ups now because they can fold their laundry..like washing theirown underwear is something they must learn..washing dishes even if its their own..making their beds etc. I see 13 yr olds maing big dinner for 7..come on now that brings the child out of her childhood..i pray to God that our children will neve have to work a FT job except for a PT summer job..which will go to their savings...


I agree Kimmy that there is a fine line for chore responsibility. My kids have a few chores at my house but at their father's house - where there are 5 kids - they have tons of chores. I want them to learn responsibility but they are not the maid! I won't go around redoing either. As long as I know they gave it their best try, I leave it at that. Of course if they are just playing me by half-arsing a job, they get to redo. They only get to be kids once - they need time to play!

The food challenge is getting better. He has come to terms with the fact that we can't buy JA foods from the local market so he is just going to have to buck up and eat what we do have. I told him I do the same when I go to JA - I don't go there looking for American food. Yesterday he tried beef stew (although with about 2 lbs of rice) and this morning I made tomato and cheese omlettes. Apparently he is getting hungry enough.

IT was backing up my files for my new laptop, so I took the opportunity to got to Walmart and get some new pots for my garden! Well let me tell you the recession has definitely hit the gardening section! The 10$ 10 gallon pots I use for my bananas are now 20.00 helpsmilie.gif so I had to use my Recessionista skills and get my $ worth! So I searched for the higher end pot I paid 20.00 for last year and just bought that one because there is no way on earth I will pay 20.00 for them pots and I know are only worth 10$ no0pb.gif

I am a Gardenista and I don't like to cut corners when it comes to my garden but this is getting ridiculous. People want to know why I buy my plants wholesale from the Philippines, this is exactly why!

It's early may and my Garden is looking like the gully, now my Hubby knows why I spend so much time out in the garden. He now spends as much time as me smile.gif I'll take some pics this weekend when I should have everything situated!

Morning VJ Family!!

Thanks for all the calls and I know I owe a couple of you phone calls but I feel like I'm on a dead run this week!!

The day finally came - Anthony is here! Everyone went pretty smoothly on Wednesday, although he said there was a hard time because his visa is stamped for 6 months. He said a bunch of officers were gathered around causing some hoopla and checking the computer chatting bout why is the Kingston embassy stamping K1 visas for 6 months. As far as I knew that was the norm - you have 6 months to use the visa.

His arrival was good - I was standing in a spot where I could see everyone as soon as they walked around the corner so I spotted him first. But as soon as he rounded the corner his eyes went right to me and we both got a big goofy grin on our faces. I had my camera in hand but I couldn't move - just stood there grinning like a kid at a birthday party!!! He walked over and hugged me through the gate and I just deflated like a balloon - he was finally here.

Things have been going really well. The whole ride home his eyes were going a hundred miles an hour checking everything out. He did make me feel good Wednesday night when he said "I think I'm gonna like it here" because Whitehall is about as different from Kingston as Earth is from Mars. As soon as he got out of the car he asked why he never heard the pretty birds chirping when we were on the phone.

The biggest challenge so far has been food. He is working on his 3rd day of eating stew pork as he is not trying anything. But I figure when he gets hungry enough (or when the stew pork is gone!) he will try. I definitely learned the hard way awhile ago that I just ride out his stubborness, especially when he is the one most effected by it.

My kids officially met him last night and they loved him. They both had to sit next to him at dinner. And I loved him even more when I walked into the living room and saw him playing Dora Dominos with them and teaching them checkers Jamaican style! luv.gif

I say it again and again, I never could've made this journey without all of you ladies - I love you gals!! heart.gif

I feel bad sharing my good news when so many are still waiting, and for so long (Nat). However I want to tell everyone how I got my interview date in the hopes it helps others speed things up. My interview date is June 15 (my birthday!!)

I emailed consularkingst@state.gov a week after dropping off the DS 230 and told them my SO never recived packet 3 and that I was worried he would never get packet 4 and we wouldn't know when the interview date was, or have enough time to schedule his medical. The next day they emailed me back packet 3 and 4 and told me the interview date. (Thanks Lovesponge for helping me with this!!) I know a lot of your SO's aren't getting the packets. I'm so thankful to all of you and especially IslandWoman for emailing me packet 3 or else i'd still be waiting for my SO to get paket 3. So I just wanted to let you all know that I think it's best to just email right away and not wait around for the mail.

I realize many of you may already know this, but just incase someone didn't I thought it was worth posting.

I hope everyone's having a nice day!


Congrats Thompson!! Anytime. If anyone ever DOES receive a packet 3 that is newer, hopefully we can scan that one to pass around.

Does anyone have any good weight loss tips?


Don't eat whistling.gif

Honestly, what I have found best for me was to cut back on carbs - I try to not eat them at all, but don't kill myself if I do eat them. Exercise is also key - I used to hate to go to the gym, but then I set my mind that I didn't care if I only did 5 minutes, I had to get there - Once I was there, I worked out longer, and soon it became a natural part of my day.


Ditto - on everything Sus said. Once I clean the "junk" out of my system, I actually feel bad when I eat it. Same with exercise - body feels real sluggish if I don't. I try to set myself that I exercise every day of the week, since I have an office job. On the weekends I never sit down with either working my 2nd job, my kids or working on my house.

anyhoo, mr jengs girls are HERE. the came last friday via Miami. they were held in immigration/customs for a while just a hint you can't put liquor in minor's suitcases if an adult isn't traveling with them. I cried at the airport. they are adjusting well and school starts in two weeks.


Congrats!!! Glad it finally all worked out. good.gif

I had a bunch of JUNK to eat this morning. A few ladies in the office were forced into early retirement since they are making cutbacks here. So here is the list that I had.

Chocolate chip cookie
Snickerdoodle cookie
Donut
Fritos
Fruit Pizza
Some cream cheese spread with crackers



Oh and a cup of water.

I am on sugar overload.

After dance class, I look at my phone cuz I turn the ringer off during class. I see 2 missed calls from him and and an email from CRIS. So I open it and see the approval. I'm about to buss out crying in dance class so I go outside in my dance clothes ( this is a booty/pole class so u can imagine the attire). I call A voice all shaky - body literally shaking. You wanna know what his response is...umm hummm. Yup that's right...ummm hummm. He's like he doesn't want to get his hopes up cuz a friend of ours got past our stage and had an incident. I'm like babe this is an approval barring issues with the medical and popo report we're in. So I let that ruin my couples moment, but yall helped recoup.


Disappointment can come at any stage in this whole journey so be happy in every milestone no matter how big or small - congrats to you!!

I hate my job.

I get these very brief spurts of thinking that go something like this:

"What if I just walked out right now?"

"I could just walk out right now & call it quits with everything."

"Walk out, go home, start packing everything up & either store it or give it away."

"Then I could go back up to my parents' property & fix up the shop into a living space."

"I wouldn't have to pay next month's rent for my crappy apartment & I'd be done with this ridiculous job."

"Oh, but then I'd have to drop the classes at school I just started because my parents live very far away."

"And Lehi wouldn't be close to the school he goes to now & is doing well in."

"#######! I can't quit....stupid school is the reason we have to stay here for a while."

"Guess that means I just have to keep on with this drudgery."
