Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 4)

[Forever Young 1]

*****FYI*****

Hi Guys,

My side hustle is working from home for 1800-Flowers...wanted to let anyone interested know they are hiring now, in preparation for the holidays... in case anyone is interested. However, you must live in the states listed below in order to work for them. It's not a bad deal...considering I go to work in my P.J.'s and you make your own schedule. Just FYI, in case you or somebody you know needs a little extra $$ and has kids or responsibilties that keeps them at home. It's really pretty easy work.

Thanks Gill...that would a great option...but mi no have no headset,backup drive...but i'll keep the option opened

thanks again

Rhonda, Kimmy, Gill...Good to see you all back online. The thread wouldn't be the same without you guys

After getting caught up on the thread, I "ALMOST" want to have cornmeal porridge. Call me weird, but it is the one thing that I don't like; I think it's because I would end up with lumpy porridge and I hated that

Gill - thanks for the info on PT job. I'll pass it on to my sister, she has been looking for something that she can do from home.

Marlita, JALove - if hubby didn't make it through, I would be moving back home myself. It was a decision we were making a few years ago, since I knew I would probably get a job (contacts), but it seemed that God wanted me to stay here for a reason. I am looking forward to the time when God sends us back home. To all who are making the move, Good luck and I am sure all will be well.

JG - I have been talking to hubby about the culture shock he will experience, especially as it applies to the gay lifestyle. Honestly, though I do not agree with the lifestyle, I have no problem with them. I have had friends who wish they never had to deal with them at all, including some in the medical field. Aaron doesn't condone the lifestyle, but because of his temperament, I know he will treat them with respect and dignity.

If Andre is okay with other gays that he met, maybe there is something more about this guy that bothers him.

I have done Zappos when I couldn't find my size on a particular pair of shoes I found out and about. I just love being able to put on the shoes and walk around the department trying to deceide. I am a little nervous because I have sooo many shoes that I feel a little gluttonus (is that a word)..I have tried to warn Kevin about my shoe obsession but how can you prepare a man who has 3 pairs that you have 100+?????

make that 103...bought 3 CUTE CUTE CUTE pair today!!!!

Have any of your SO's here in the US had to work with any homosexuals? If so, how did they cope with it?

I ask because Andre works with a new guy who is flamingly gay. Andre's having some issues with it. I keep reminding him that he's management now and has to be accepting.

Anyone else deal with anything like this?

No, but my husband would most likely be looking for another job

There is genuine hatred for homosexuality in Jamaica, I've heard people said that they would not speak to their own children if they turn out to be homosexuals, and there is a feeling that tolerance means that you condone the lifestyle and that you might be one too (as silly as that sound it's true).

He has to stop looking the man a gay and just try to see him as a co-worker.

This is why I just didn't force the issue. I understand it's cultural and there is no way he's changing his view point. I don't have a problem with it, to each it's own, who are we to judge I ask him, it's just another sin in my book. Let's just say he always wins this battle. I don't even bring it up any more. A man at work pinched his nipple, why I do not know , hubby almost lost his job . Told the guy he didn't know who the hell was F@#King with and to stay away from him. I was like really in disbelief.

Anyway...the above receipe is dead on for cornmeal porridge! Just don't forget to keep stirring... or it will get clumpy and lumpy! Keep the fire low after you put the cornmeal in...Viola!! Yummy Yummy...I used to make it for my sons when they were babies, usually at the 10-11pm feeding...when they turned 7-8 months...I used their formula instead of milk!

Trust me Rhonda, it's something to keep in mind...cause it holds them! My sons slept through the night after they had their cornmeal bottle! And Mommy could finally get a full nights sleep!

I better start practicing now I'm not much of a cook! You said you put it in their bottle? Is it that thin that it would flow through or did you make it thinner for them? I've never eaten it so I have no idea what to expect. I might surprise Tony and make some before he gets home from work one day!

Had one at the wexford where i was staying i did not recognize any form of beef in it i dunno what it was i sent it back and opted for somethin else. Never tried any burger since.

I don't really eat beef in JA either. I eat chicken, fish, and lots of shrimp! I'm not a big beef eater anyways, and I'm really picky about my beef. Now, I have had pizza in JA and even though it's different from ours, it's really good I'm getting hungry!
