Good Morning Everyone!

We are going to a wedding today in San Francisco.....then we are having a Big BBQ celebration with friends and family tomorrow.......It feels soooo good to be married.....

You went to San Fransisco with a Jamaican . How did you hubby deal with all the "BOTTIE BOIZ" . We live in NY, and my husband always have something to say when any guy walks by that looks slightly feminine. I had to tell him he can get arrested for threatening to beat them here

Damien played "is that a male or female" game all weekend . He's getting used to it now, I think .

Congrats Jonesie!

Congrats Trinilad for your K-1 approval!! Your're on your way

Congrats

Girl..that has been our biggest challenge so far.....he wants to shoot dem all!!!

We drove through a very "Bootie Boy" area and he closed his eyes...he even held his breath and rolled up the window saying he did not want to breath the same air......... silly husband.......

Hello everyone!

We just got back from Jamaica last night. We had a lot of fun but the time flew by. 4 nights is just too short, especially when we have so many people to visit. We had a blast at Margaritaville the night of Tony's birthday. I got so drunk I did the Dutty Wine And I actually did a pretty good job of it! Although I did pull a muscle in my neck that hurt for 2 days

I'm here at work now and not happy about it I'm on 3rd shift (midnights) as of today I'm convinced that my boss hates me. No one else here gets moved around all the time like I do.

Going back to catch up now. Looks like I have about 9 pages to read

Topic for today:

Now that you're living together what is the one quality that stands out that your spouse/fiance has that makes you say 'I am the most fortunate/lucky/blessed woman/man in the world'?

His sense of humor. He always makes me laugh I love that about him.

Rhonda and Tony have a great trip! Will you be able to bring everything with the airline restrictions in place?

Thanks. Yes we took everything we needed to take. We just had to check most of our luggage instead of just carrying it on like we had planned. We even managed to bring 3 bottles of Rum back we just checked it with the luggage!!

Squito's working some crazy hours. Most nights he doesn't get home until around 10. But you're right, it is a killer on the life.

Now you guys are all in the same position me and Tony have been in for awhile now! Our life is WAY less than what it was before he was working. And it's even worse being on seperate shifts. We never even see each other

THEY SENT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Interview soon come.

Well...We did it...it is official!!

We had a great day...everything went great......I will post pics soon.....

Congrats

Oh my gosh, I am so tired my eyes will barely stay open I am still at work So far, I am not liking 3rd shift. Has anyone been on the midnight shift before? I need all the ideas I can get on how to cope with this. There is nothing I can do short of quitting my job to get out of it and I can't afford to quit.

Good morning everyone!

No news yet from the new mother?

The wait is just as bad as waiting for an NOA...

I received my notice that my packet has been forwarded to Kingston but yet when I called the NVS it tells me they do not have a record of receiving my packet yet. Oh well I have a case number for Kingston. Is there anyway I can track that number to see if they have received it yet? There was no DHL number on the letter.

Question...Did your fiance have a difficult with adjusting to the rules here in the states? My guy is being so pig headed and the arguments have been more frequent. I try to explain that is how it is done here and that is the rule or the law. He is having a hard time getting past that. And it is not like he has never left Jamaica before, he has been working for the cruise industry for the last 10 years and has been all over the world.

Thick headed Jamaican!!!!

Welcome back Rhonda. Glad you enjoyed you time

Thank all of you for the congrats. I can't wait I am hoping my hubby will be here by October, I am planning a trip for a week in Jamaica for the first week of October so I am hoping that the interveiw falls around there if not I am a$$ out.

Ladies a quick question- I am getting ready for the interveiw ( well, not really- I just know we are gonna be denied ) My question is when you guys go to Jamaica do you get all-inclusive or just the flight and hotel ( I normally go to family but I am not feeling that this year).

I have found a great deal with Sunset Beach Resort & Spa AI-All Inlcusive-I know it is MOntego Bay- far yes but I am not trying to stay in Kingston ($$$$$$$$)- or should I just give in and stay there to be close to the embassy?

[phatmadame81 0]

Good morning all,

Rhonda do you like red bull? I remembered when I used to work 3rd shift for CitiBank as a Check Encoder I knew ppl that would drink that all night. Me, however used to take power naps during break. It would help a little since I also has another job to go after my shift was over. Girl, I know how you must feel but you have to take care of yourself or it will only get worse.

Stay Close To The Embassy....please!!! Stay Close. I don't find Kingston that expensive. When Henry and I stayed at the Knutsford - it was $95 US per night (probably less if a JA citizen books the room). We got a studio suite - it had a kitchenette and we bought groceries at Superplus and the vegetable/fruit standby by this new mall near Constant Spring Rd and we cooked a few days. Breakfast is free - so we just had to make dinner - lunch was usually fresh fruit and coconut water. Yum! But if you want a nice vacation feeling resorty place - then yeah MoBay makes total sense. Just drive to Kingston crack of dawn the day before the interview - arrive in Kingston in the afternoon and then relax and get ready. Still, check out this chalet in the blue mountains in kingston; its not that expensive and very relaxing. But you need a 4 wheel drive to get up the mountains. http://www.starlightchalet.com/

YOU WILL NOT GET DENIED!!! Don't even put that energy out there.

Hey Rhonda. I did/do the night shift at times. I thinks it's a killer on your body. For me at about 3:30 in the morning my body shuts down. I get so tired, I once nodded of in the middle of a conversation. How can they just move you with out asking you first? Have you tried telling you boss that you just cannot do it? Are they threating to fire you? Like Anna said the Redbull works. Also those monster drinks, they really work for me. Streaching or walking exercices during your break or on down times. Then I cannot get to sleep when I get home Any way good luck.
