Philly don't stress...as Lawny told me it is no big deal and it isn't. And tell him to stop listening to people. Have all your stuff in order and you will be fine.



I agree with Dillon - if you're on your game you will be fine. People lose to tell stories, just like when you are pregnant they love to tell their horror story.

EXACTLY.. we can't take care of everything and then when he get here EXPECT for him to START taking on some of the responsibility we had harbored all throughout the romance.. that expectation has to be established from the start.. when i first met RG i used to intentionally not take my wallet (heck i did that w/ guys here, cuz don't know if ya'll noticed alot of men are becoming SORRY!!!!!!! another subject) so if he couldnt pay for it then WE don't need it..
so anyway, now that i know he is an upstanding guy and is not out to spend up all my money, i don't mind sharing in expenses, we are working together for a set goal.
God forbid me get wid a man that only identifies w/ his own struggle.. i knew this dude that was quick to tell me when he didn't have no gas money, but when i started trying to talk about my finanical woes, he came back w/ but quana u have a good job and u don't know how it is not to eat but once a day not cuz u choose to but cuz u have to blink.gif mad.gif .. i knew right then and there, he was not the one for me!!!


LOL, Quana you and I are a lot alike - I do that with DJ too - We hold each other down - there are times when he hasn't had money bc of the accident & stuff - and I don't mind picking up the ball then - but when he does have $, I never bring my wallet when we go out - In Jan. when we were in Mo Bay, we went for a late dinner, then we were going to MVille - after dinner, he went to the bathroom - I sat there, the waitress brought the check, he came back and asked if we were set - I said no - pay the bill - He was shocked that I hadn't paid it - I told him I didn't bring money with me - He paid, we left the restaurant - flew past MVille and he pulled into the hotel - I was confused - He had put enough money in his pocket for us to go out, and had to go back and get more money, lol

i'm so upset i havent even started my k-1 yet..i just send my SO the forms to fill out and send back to me ...i already have everything else i need for the package..so hopefully i will have it sent out by next month.. good.gif


same thing i told ells nikki girl.. don't think u are going too slow.. Gods timing is divine.. of course that don't mean drag our feet, but don't be discouraged if things don't happen as fast as others..
i haven't filed yet, not quite ready, but i get to thinking MAN, by the time i do file, i could have went through the process 2 times or more.. or he could have been here and working by now..
these thoughts will make us go crazy... enjoy where u are now, now matter how frustrating LOL

good advice.. rg and i too have tried to discipline ourselves when it comes to talk time..

alright ladies, im leaving early today, just cuz i can LOL.. had some scheduled leave, then i will be mad when i don't have enough leave and I REALLY need to do something OH WELL carpe diem lol bout to go enjoy the day..


Enjoy your night, Quana!

Quana you are on the money today - Heaven, everything happens in its time - I know how frustrating it is - But when I look back now, I am grateful for the delays that DJ and I have had - because we truly have been through a lot together, spent a lot of time together, and that time has only made us stronger in us - it was worth it in the end. Of course now, if the BLOODCLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT IDIOT doesn't get his decree this week, I might be in jail in JA for murder instead of my wedding, lol

Jengles, sorry you are having a bad day!

Ryon - hope your dad is feeling better, I know how hard that is.

Nope they haven't been. That was Multnomah Falls in Oregon, near Portland! Beautiful there too! This will be their first trip out of the states! The "situation" is what it is and I'm better with it since its been some time now! I believe everything happens for a reason even if we don't know why! And that time tells everything........so we will see! Maybe he will step it up and maybe he won't! I'm not counting on anything anymore! But don't get me wrong, we still talk and he knows we are coming.

I'm just dying to be in Jamaica.....I LOVVVVVE that place regardless!


Sounds like you're in a good spot. I been thinking about you.

Well I have some time plus I'm in BOOMTOWN (Bored Outta Of My Mind) so I'll share. Although I wish my story was all juicy and romantic like the others but here goes:

I have known my SO since the beginning of time. His family and my family were really close. My mom was actually married to his uncle. Ha! Some of my friends say that I'm marrying my cousin but Lord he is not that. My mom and his uncle have been divorced for a long time now but still remain friends. Anyhoo, my sister moved to Jamaica when she was little to be closer to her dad's people; and so I would visit when I was outta school and breaks, etc. By this time the divorce between my mom and his uncle had been done and over with and me and SO would sometimes hang out and go out together. He was a major starer and would always be looking at me even when I wasn't talking. After sometime I could feel like he liked me but he would never tell me really. He is so shy!! Well we started talking on the phone and I started to visit just him. Forget the family! LOL. We both wanted to start a more serious relationship but we knew it would be really hard; both because we were really young at the time and the distance was a killer. Some years passed by and I was still just visiting him and on one trip we decided that we both loved each other and wanted to make this more of relationship. So I filed and he is here now. I love being with him, his eyes, his swag, his smell and overrall just him. He is so patient, kind and sincere. Now almost 6 years, one daughter and another on the way; our love is growing stronger and we know God has a plan for us.

Was reading the 'how'd you meet your SO' thread and realized you'd just gone through this K-1 so I looked at your timeline. Did us VJers already know you got married on Saturday?? I'm spacey at times so if I already congratulated you, well, let me just do it again.

CONGRATS on your wedding Nette! kicking.gif


I missed this as well - CONGRATS ShaNette!

Sus - is he trying to run taxi to make extra $ with that brand new car?


No, it's a 2 door car, and the driver's seat is broken so it's a squeeze to get 3 passengers in it, not something he can run taxi with - he was just an idiot and speeding - But every time I talk to him he's waiting for his brother, or going to pick up Daniel's GF from work, ..... That's nice of him - but they need to pay some gas $ and not take advantage! He picked up some contract work last week -


I get it. I always say I'm going to run taxi when I'm there to try to recoup some of the rental car cost.
True - there's no free rides! That's good about the contract work.

Morning Yardies!


I'm a little ticked at mister today. I have been since yesterday. I'm trying to figure out if I'm being unreasonable or if I'm justified and maybe even ignoring a red flag. Just to preface, he NEVER asks me to send money for anything. On only a few occasions have I sent money; once for Grandma's meds, once $60 for his b-day & a couple times for expenses for this visa process. Other than that, I don't feel like he's just in this for the monetary benefits. However, since he makes about $4000 JA every two weeks at his job, most of this relationship has been on my cost. I've paid the expensive phone bills each month and topped up his phone on occasion. He tries to contribute but instead of getting the 1000 digicel minutes, he drains his pockets by buying those stupid $100 JA phone cards one at a time & I think it's a waste so I do most of the calling.

Finally, this month, I topped up his phone & he did the 1000 international minutes which has been great. Then you guys clued me in to buying the 2nd phone chip so we could do it again that way. So, I've been asking him for the last couple weeks to buy a phone chip when he gets paid and I'll top that one up and it'll save me a ton of money compared to past phone bills. He knows my salary is reduced with this state budget issue and being a state worker. Well, he just got paid last Friday but didn't work a full two weeks because they're rotating at his job and he only got $3500 JA. I KNOW that's not a lot of money but I still want him to get a phone chip. He's guilting me now (not intentionally really) by saying he needs his money to buy food and gas and can't buy a chip. I understand that those are necessities, I really do. BUT, I think to myself how many times I've inconvenienced myself and my budget for him and how much I've shelled out towards phone bills and I can't believe he can't even make this simple, one-time sacrifice to benefit both of us and especially cut my phone bill down by $160 a month. I'm kinda pissed and now I'm telling him to stop calling me 5X a day because we have 11 days to get through and only about 120 minutes left on the plan. I want him to save those minutes so I can keep in contact with him on the 31st when he drops off his DS-230 in Kingston. Last night, I didn't feel like discussing this because I needed to figure out if I'm being unreasonable or not so I just cut the convo very short since I didn't have much to say to him last night.

Should I be more understanding that he doesn't have much money or am I justified in thinking that he can contribute a little towards the 'costs' of this relationship? unsure.gif unsure.gif


Ells my suggestion would be to help him with the chip - cuz it's going to save YOU money in the long run. I can't imagine having to live on his kind of budget. My justification is always I have wasted $5 on something foolish before so I would definitely spend it on something that will save me money. If you are going to have to send money down for the police report when he goes to Kingston next week just include the extra in that so you don't have to pay more fees.

I totally understand your point .....but I say just choose your battles. I'm sure it's not that he doesn't understand you have a budget as well, just his budget is tighter.

I hope you get to see him no later than EARLY summer then. It's tough to go for so long. Who was it that went a year without seeing their SO on here? Was it Dillon?? Now THAT would be torture!

Anyway, I hope something good happens so you can see him soon!


Yes that was Dillion - but her wait paid off!


QUOTE (sus @ Mar 23 2009, 12:22 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Ells, you are not being unreasonable, and it's very easy to get frustrated - DJ and I had a conversation along these lines on Sat - cause he got pulled over for speeding, had $4000 in his pocket, and after it only had $1000 (the ticket would have been $7000 or $8000) - He was kinda whining, because he had to go to Ochi today, and only had $1000, and needed gas - my response was that he had better get out there Sat and Sun and pick up some work, or make his brother and his gf give him some money bc he's been driving them around - And that he shouldn't have been speeding, cause he doesn't have the extra $ right now to throw away on stupidity.

Sometimes you have to play hardball a bit - and maybe this week isn't the right one for him to buy a new chip, since he has to go to Kingston - but let him know how you feel, and see if he does it from his next pay -


Sus - is he trying to run taxi to make extra $ with that brand new car?

I haven't made the eggplant stuffed bread in a while - but basically, you peel the eggplant, slice it thin, dip it in egg then breadcrumbs or flour and fry it, then place it on paper towel to drain - I bought ready made pizza dough from the store - Roll it out, then spread a little tomato sauce over the crust, then a layer of eggplant, and a layer of mozzarella cheese and some -parmesan. Roll it up like a log, tuck the ends in and seal the edge - Bake it at a 425 degree oven for about 15 - 20 minutes until brown. I have made them stuffed with everything - spinach, broccoli, sausage, ...

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!!! the cashier kept discouraging him, "u sure", " i don't want to get in trouble" after he left, she whispered.. "i dont even get a discount like that.."
i touched her and said "well let me give u some of this favor!! " LOL


i am telling u God is truly my husband and i don't doubt him cuz he has come thru TOO many times..the ex tries to make things hard.. w/ all this money going toward the move, my oldest broke her glasses. i got glasses and contacts, which he didn't help me w/, yet he is STILL asking me to come back to him ?????

hell some of the stuff i saw going on in the grande, im surprised they tried that.. i have a friend who works security there named Omar, there wasnt any women when i stayed there in April, but yeah i get what your saying and i was so mad when that happened to me at Sandcastles and the front desk staff was so smug, about it i wanted to punch her in the face. D didnt quite pick up on some things until they became blatant, like being overcharged for drinks at some of the local spots,?


valerie did you get Shade when you were there with Ryon?



girl i can not remember it we had shades or not ( thats crazy)


You'd remember!!

What did you lose Sus? Hopefully nothing too valuable.


Nope, I keep everything under lock and key - It was 4 long sleeve shirts that I had brought DJ, some marinas, and some socks = The shirts were on clearance at Old Navy and cost about $1.49 each - it was more the principle of it, and how we were treated when we were the victims - The manager was nice, and bent over backwards to make it up =- Of course, I threw at him that the purpose of our trip was planning a big wedding in JA next September and we were scoping out hotels - but he just lost that one, because how could I comfortably recommend to 250 of my friends to book somewhere when we had been treated like that -

The massages, etc... we got comped cost more than the shirts -


LOL whistling.gif But I get you on the principle...

Sus did they throw shade you way cause you were with a JA man? hell i was treated like that at Sandcastles by the front desk chic, i had email confirmation i would get a second key, the bytch wouldnt give it to me, they would come and knock on the door im talking 745 in the morning sometimes 9 in the morning to clean the rooms im like seriously i felt like i was on punishment and had to vacate the room so they could clean, it was a mess. the guy who was an omelet chef at the grande asked me did i want to go have sex, cause you know thats all us "farrin women" could possibly want....LOL.. i was like WHA????

there were people i was with who complained but for the most part i thought it was ok, a little pricey for what its worth, but ok


Honey, it was the female security - They stopped him EVERY time we walked around to check his band - Even when we were way back by the Jamaicalicious cafe - Then when we had stuff stolen, it took 4 calls and my threatening to come make a scene in the lobby to get a call from security - no follow up the next day AT ALL till I sought them out, then the guy tried to claim that we had been given a written warning for smoking herb in the room (don't smoke that) and basically implied that he would wipe that charge if we dropped the "alleged" claim that items had been stolen - I ripped and blasted to a manager, and will write the tourist board, blast them on trip advisor, etc....

well shannette. i maybe go with a male ob/gyn but i would like a female.
well i was thinking they can empathize and know more about the symptoms than a man could. hopefully she has a child



jakeswife, thats a good point. i had a male doctor b/c men hate to see women cry and i figure a women doctor would still make me push tears and all no0pb.gif


Me too Ryon. My doc was male and every time I whined he gave in to me. And because he has never gone through it himself, he was much more sensitive than the female doc in his office. I've been going to him since I was 18.

Sus - WOW!!! Im love im ooman fi true!!

alright lawny you gotta go to David's bridal.com and look up BR1008, thats the best i can come up with.

It is simple, strapless and i can fit my fat in it, so it works for me and it was clearanced at 49.99 so that was the best factor to choosing it smile.gif

oh i bought my dress at david's bridal. i am thinking about selling it but not sure how to go about doing that.at least if i was in jam i know someplace that would buy it even though it's a size 2


You can try Craigslist to sell it. But think about it before you do...it has sentimental value that you will never get a price on.

Morning all! I am home cray5ol.gif I got home early this am, it was about 2 am by the time I got in my house, and am here at work ready to go back to sleep.

The trip was good - I linked up with Jamerican, so part of my report will have to wait till she's back - Overall, everything was good and I am now an officially engaged woman = DJ officially proposed on our last morning at sunrise on the beach - Sunset Jamaica Grande was beautiful, but never ever ever again - I will give more details later on, just wanted to say hi before I try to catch up with my nightmare of emails and work!


Congrats Sus - that must mean you have good news! Glad you are back - I missed you.

I wonder if it's a case where he's not aware his staff is trying to pocket a little extra money on the side?! Either way, I think Island SHOULD report that with the embassy. When they give you an appointment and you show up for it, you should be able to be attended to when they say they will! ACCOUNTABILITY! These businesses/agencies need ACCOUNTABILITY!! *Okay, off my soapbox now....*


He didn't have an appointment - he called Wednesday and said I'm the one who has been in here 4 times in the last 2 weeks - do you have any time this week. She told him that he could come in Thursday or Friday. So when he showed up they (2 office girls) wanted $1,500 each to squeeze him in. He said she got angry at him when he said no - I'm not paying $11k for a medical and said well I guess you don't really want it that bad. I had told him just let it be and wait for the appointment at Andrews after the hassel he had, but he really wanted to just get it done.

OK I am sitting here trying to calculate my next trip to Ja! Originally, I had planned to go April 8-12. BUT after looking at my BC pills I saw that Aunt Flo was going to be here at that time...SOOOO I decided to change my mind cuz I need some nookie for sure! (job got me stressed! laughing.gif) Well, unbeknownst to me my prescription for my BC had run out, so I couldn't get the refill and the dr on call wouldn't do it for me cuz she said I hadn't been there in a year! (For what?? I only go ONCE a year for my annual pap!) OK, so now I'm out of BC, and have no idea when my cycle will come on next month. The earliest appt I could get next month was April 14th...which sucks... crying.gif crying.gif


Try your doc on Monday - maybe she can just give you a sample pack that the drug companies drop at there office. Give her the business that you don't want to be unprotected nor mess up your cycle cuz the earliest they can get you in is the 14th.


Yeah, I tried that...but they wouldn't give me any sample pack of anything---SO my cycle is messed up! (I hate Duke Univ Healthcare System! mad.gif) But not too bad--it came on a day earlier than it normally would have, SO I'm trying to calculate when it should come on next month. Around the 8th it seems. Just hope its gone by the time I see the GYN cuz I don't wanna have to wait again for the next appt--I need my pills! mad.gif I think it's a sinister plot to try and get me pregnant! laughing.gif I gotta marathon to do, so no pickney for me til AFTER October! star_smile.gif



LOL - that's a good focus Mrs P.
