Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)

[Forever Young 1]

Mawnin Gill,

Ain't that the TRUTH! I was high risk so I had to go to the doctor more often than a normal pregnancy. After the first 3 months I didn't care anymore. I'd hop on the table and SPREAD EAGLE and say "aright doc, let's get it on"...she would bust out laughing. I don't know if any of you every had a vaginal ultrasound (I truly hate those). I had to ask the technical where she was about to put that. Her face just turned bright RED. I delivered at a teaching hospital and it can get crazy sometimes, but there's usually 2 docs around. They didn't let a resident deliver me though, because I was high risk, but with my sis it was a resident and the doctor was guiding his hands for a C-section and he did a great job. I was trying to convince my doctor to give me a tummy tuck while she was doing my incision for my C-section (she just laughed).

Mawning Lawns,

Gurl, I hear you! Hated those vaginal ultrasounds...plus they made me drink a TON of wata...and press down pon mi bladder...hit came in like some Chinese Torture Test!

Morning ladies!

Congrats Sunny on NOA#1 that's great! Hopefully the rest will be as quick (and VT will stay just as fast by the time I file, lol)

Congrats, Lawnie! You have to be over the moon - See, I told you lots of touching would make it come!

I don't know how you can keep it a secret, lol - I booked my next trip to JA the DAY after I returned from the last - and I spilled the beans to DJ last night, couldn't hold it in any longer! He was whining about not being with me, and not knowing when he would see me - I finally said "do you think you can make it to the 25th of May?" - He just mumbled I guess, then went on with the conversation - took about 5 minutes for it to sink in that I had given an actual date!

Congrats on the interview date, Claire!!

Mawnin Yardies....

Sus, thanks girl. It;s my darn turn to get touched now. Me, Islandwomarn and some others. Mi Luv touches! TOUCH ME Dag-on-it.....

Alright yaardies...Question 4 u:

For all of us who are farrin...how did you learn to chat patwah? I know when I first met my husband, it was sooo difficult for me to understand him because (1) he talked too fast, and (2) because alot of patwah (to me) goes against everything that I have learned phonetically and grammatically. I've clearly gotten better at understanding what he is saying and can understand most conversations that he and his friends/family are having (and when I don't he kindly helps me out), and now I am much more interested in learning how to chat. I think it is going to be especially important for him to preserve this part of his heritage, and to pass this part along to our children (one day far far far into the future! ) I have to think really hard b4 I speak in patois, and he works with me on phrases and their meanings, but I wanna know how long does it really take? Are there any videos out there? May be someone on the thread can put one 2gether and market it...I know I would definately buy it...

sorry wish i could help..bawn Yardie...but mor time mi husband tell mi dat is not patwah..yuh mek it sound too nice..but mi just look pon him like him mad !..it just takes time, patience and practice...don't be shy and don't think ppl will be making fun of you..u'll get it..Look at Yardiewife..more time i forget she is not a born Jamaican..just gotta do it..u can try watching the stage plays and stuff like that....mi no know nuttin mi just love chat

Bwoy, if dat ain't deh truth...mi nuh knoa wat is!!!!! Kimkim...mi couldda lick dung dem foofoo gyal fi mash hup yuh work internet access!! Yuh come in like Rhonda now.......Memba when Rhond's used to work the late shift han she would come reply tuh everyone's post overnight! :lol:...Hopefully, the 'watchful eyes' won't last too lang!

Bless,

Gill

but u nuffi agree wid me !! yuh no easy a baxide

For those of you near to Ocean City, MD - Seacrets is a must when they have reggae playing! My JA friends love it!

http://www.seacrets.com/

Especially when Storm http://stormreggae.com/ or Anthem http://www.anthemband.com or http://myspace.com/anthemband are playing - So much fun!

I love the cafe in Orlando too - we had a blast when we went there.
