Question to all of the yardies ...male & female.

What does the word - sket-telle really mean ?? Craig and I are in a big dispute and I've had some of my other jamaican friends tell me what it means, but doesn't agree.

Thanks!

Kelly

From how I understand it, a skettel would be called a chickenhead here in the States...

I would say probably saying someone who is "fast" or a "bust down". A wuklus gyal, someone who love tek mon, etc.

So I get an email from the consular (since I always email inquiries to both email addresses) today and they inform me that the correct date is September the 4th and that they are not doing interviews on the 6th. So that solves that problem.

I think in general the consulars emails have been more informative and better written. I think is some real dimwits replying from the embassy email. I mean to just tell me to wait for the letter in the mail without double checking the system is just unbelievable.

Wow, and if you went the 6th they would have told you that it was too late and you would probably have ended up delayed!!

These people make you sick!

Thanks for posting this. That explains why we got a phone call saying that it has been switched to the fourth of Sep at 12:30. Lets hope this is the case. I bought my ticket today because my mother suggested that I go to support him. She believes he will have a better chance of coming up. I can't believe this came from my mother. I prayed the night before for god to send me a sign on whether I should go or not. I believe the sign is my mothers support. :thumbs:

Look into away not to file bankruptcy Sarah. I know its tough but I always recommend Dave Ramsey. He has a radio show and I have viewed a lot of his books. It helped me get on track until hubby arrived. All the best with what you do Sarah.

I need to buy the plastic preggie one - getting a blue one and I hope that I can keep it in until I deliver. My piercing was a b**** to heal and I do not want it to close. Have had it over 7 years now.

Oh, I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I bought a flexible one too - have it in right now! And then I bought 2 more on maternitypiercings.com - they come in longer lengths and you can cut them down to the size you want. I haven't tried those yet, but I have them. I've had my piercing for almost 9 years ;)
