hey explain to mi

just how this works plz,

cuz if i could use that i'd be happy!

Thanks Jax

Use their phone number @ either of the digitextjm.com or cwmobile.com (whatever one they have)

and send it like you would any other email. Just make sure you don't type too long...usually one sentence across 3/4 of your comp screen is the longest you can do...they will recieve it like any other text from your email address...they can also text you back (tho not for free) to your email. Andre and I used to do this all the time and it was sooooo convienent.

Jamie had answered this the other day for me.

Jamie, how are you? We haven't seen you in these parts in awhile! :no: Don't be a stranger ;)

She has developed a great rapport with my family so the clothes situation has been solved. They offered her directly and she accepted and actually has begun wearing. My grandmother who is suffering with cancer was so sweet she gave her the jewelry for the wedding and gave her so much clothes and jewelry for other things we are having an issue with space. This has been easier than I thought especially with my sister who is very protective. They are already shopping buddies.

That is great that she's getting along so well with your family :yes: That's very important and I'm sure it will make things even easier for you guys. Get used to the lack of space! It's a female thing :P I have both double closets filled to the brim in our room - Tony uses the closet in the spare room :innocent:

Sorry you had to postpone the wedding. Good luck THIS Friday!!

some interesting news about becoming a US citizen....the test might be changing...

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/11/13/citizensh...t.ap/index.html

That sucks :o That test is already difficult enough and they're talking about making it even harder?!! How is anyone going to pass it? I've tried the example test questions on-line and I couldn't even answer some of them and I've lived here my whole life! :help:

She picked her dress out and rumor has it that it is a killer. I was not allowed to see it though. But we are coming along fine. She has developed a great rapport with my family so the clothes situation has been solved. They offered her directly and she accepted and actually has begun wearing. My grandmother who is suffering with cancer was so sweet she gave her the jewelry for the wedding and gave her so much clothes and jewelry for other things we are having an issue with space. This has been easier than I thought especially with my sister who is very protective. They are already shopping buddies.

Will keep you guys posted about what happens after Friday.

Stephen I would love to see the pics from your wedding. We have a group on yahoo where we mainly post pics-you have to ask Ms Squitto for an invite-or if you don't mind please PM me if you share your pics online. I love to look at wedding dresses. I'm a clothes horse :blush:

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother :(

Who has had their medical at Hope in Montego Bay? (George is going in the morning).

Ann

Best wishes to George today on his medical; hopefully it won't be too painful if he has to get injections.

ladies please keep mike and i in your thoughts for tomorow..

you already know :thumbs:

We'll be waiting for the good news today Shauna!!!

You're brave! :yes: I won't go near the malls that day. They are just too crazy, the lines are too long, there is no where to park, ..... :wacko: My mom and her friend go every year though rain or shine.

I'm with you Rhonda. I have to work anyways but some stores open as early as 5:00 am and there are lines even at that time.

Okay -- Just a warning ......for anyone (who might be) driving in the south suburbs of Chicago....Roy passed the written test yesterday and got his drivers permit. He actually passed the first time out. The driving instructor really put him through the ringer before he would take him for the test.....but, he passed and we are all so happy. He will be driving with the instructor for five hours....then with me :wacko: I am taking donations for valium....send it all my way :lol:

which is one of my most favorite days of the year.... The kick off to holiday shopping :dance:

The stores by my house are opening at MIDNIGHT -- I have never been the type to go shopping that day -- just like Rhonda -- I stay as far away as possible. BUT, I think I just might have to drag Roy out to experience this weird American tradition :lol:

well for whatever reason i am the lucky person that the process has been made hard for :(

mike got there and was standing on the other side of the road and the securtiy guard announced....NO BLUE PAPERS TODAY :(:(

i'm a little frustrated because since when does the embassy get to make the rules...on the back of the paper it says nothing about today being an exception....i am just so pissed...i told mike to go and try to beg the officer to let him in because i already booked his flight for next thursday...and well of course he wouldn't...so here i sit for 2 more days until he has to go back....

i just don't understand why these things are being made so difficult for us...i'm trying to be a good sport about it and yes i know he has thursday but there are other problems like the visa what if he doesn't get it in time...the way our luck has been going he won't...i just feel like i am going to have a break down...

Shauna -- I wish I could think of something to say that would make you feel better (F) ....I can just imagine how you are "throwing" youself against the wall today. Yes, Thursday is another day....and everything happens for a reason....try not to get too down. It will all be okay and when Mike is here you will be laughing about all this....

Good morning everyone

Welcome to the newbies and best of luck to everyone waiting for interview dates. We've been blessed, and Monday marked the first month of his employment :yes:

He's going to DMV tomorrow to take test for permit, but I think he'll pass on the first try. I can't believe next week will be 9 months we've been married - and Thanksgiving. Right now we're thinking of brown stew chicken, rice an peas, salad, and maybe mac and cheese as our meal (I am so sick of turkey and dressing) IF he does not have to work (you know the tourism industry is open 24/7).

Gotta make some runs but I'll be back later
