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

[*JG* 2]

I think we are going to the bar across the street from our house tonight to listen to a friend of a friend play some music.

Anyone know any unusual drink I can order that I probably havent' tried before?

Hmm, what kind of drinks do you normally like?

Beer, fruity... martinis?

I love a good espresso martini! Oh I want one now! :-)

Very, very, VERY light beer. AB has one called Beach Blonde---only one I truly like.

I like hot chocolate with a shot of butterscotch Schnapps and topped with whip cream.

Rum Cream, Banana Rum Cream, Amerula.

Very dry white wine.

straight shots of Tequila.

Margarita's are fine. Shell got me hooked on Mojitos too.

Amerula & Tequila are my drinks of choice.

I think I'd like to try some interesting concoction tonight.

Oh Mojitos are gooooood!!!

I think you would like the espresso martini.

Martini glass with cocoa on the rim. Shot of espresso with Tia maria and baileys and absolut. (they make it different all over)

With a chocolate covered espresso bean or hershy's kiss in the bottom.

Straight shots of tequila... your a bad girl!! LOL

Good morning all! Happy Friday... more snow on the way here!! YUCK!!!

I e-mailed Barbados before I went to bed last night and they already answered. I hope it is this easy the whole way through!

Irie Irie Irie...

I've never been to St. Lucia..but your man look so fam. You all eva been to JA.

I have been to JA, but not Louis. He has never been off his little island. Barbados will be an adventure.

I aready mentioned...he has a BTful smile....not as nice as my husband, but nice. lol

Aww thanks! He has a devious smile. Well he has a bunch of different smiles. They give him away though.

Come up with a better concoction that does not include anything to do with coffee. I absolutely cannot stand the taste of coffee.

What about this one?

Tequila Mockingbird

1 ounces Tequila

ounce Triple Sec

ounce Blue Curaçao

2 ounces Orange Juice

1 ounce Cranberry Juice

Fill highball glass or tumbler with ice. Add tequila and Triple Sec, followed by orange juice and cranberry. Add blue Curacao. Do not mix. Garnish with a lemon or a cherry if desired and serve in a highball glass.

Hmmmm.....Interesting. I would definately drink that.

The way A's granny made chocolate tea was how Kimmy say...it taste so bitter and not chocolatey. It had the film on the top same wey Even til now mi cyaan drink dat tea It juss nah taste right tuh mi.

Yaads neva had a problem with the bitter but as a kid picha me trying to drink something with film on the top sometimes mommy used to be nice and strain it...ALL DEN THE FILM STILL THERE...lots of ppl love it though

True lots of people love it I think A's granny made it bitter because she neva add in deh condensed milk. She nah like ie sweet and she a worry about our sugar and all. So mi neva want to offend her by adding in deh milk so mi juss a go wid deh bush tea

You could always just do a chocolate Martini..

I like a good ole dirty martini

Its hard to come up with good ones.

My old standby is Vodka, cranberry and sprite. If they have raspberry vodka even better.

Or vodka and redbull ( I like caffeine )

All this talk about booze - I may need tp break open the wine bottlle

A chocolate Martini sounds really good since we've been talking cocoa this morning. Last time I had an apple martini and it was really good.

No redbull for me. That stuff makes me run in circles and pace for days.

I guess I don't really pick it up cause I know you are really light.

What do you think of the JA tattoo? Do you think it looks different then one he would get here? Andre's from JA are so raised. The one he got here is what I picture a tattoo looking like....flush to the skin. Probably not describing it as I am thinking; but hopefully, you get the gist. I was watching "House" one day and this prison inmate had an issue with a MRI and his prison-issued tattoo. Apparently, they used lots of lead in the ink and the MRI pretty much pulled the lead up towards it. It was a crazy scene. I think about that every time I look at Andre's tattoos.

It wasn't what I expected and he'll need to have it done over when he gets to the states. He said he wants another one and I asked him to wait....

People in prison get bored and do almost anything. lol

My point in that scenario was that I thought I read somewhere that JA tattoos have a high lead content.

Why have it done over?

JG - Did that recipe look good for you? All you have to do is get the chocolate ball.

His isn't raised and actually wasn't that dark either. That concerned me. Looks like somebody used him as a ginny pig did it....

JG..it's not just prison tattoos but any tattoo that episode was an exaggeration, they usually want to know how long u've had the tattoo..tattoos that r older is more likely to have some mental in it..many ppl get MRI's with tattoos..MRI can be dangerous to anyone...

In JA u have to get ur tattoo from an "official" place not the yute round di corner

I'm sorry to skip right over you. Yes, it looks good.

Gotta tell Niina to pick me up some when she goes soon.

Someone muss have a question or dilemma?!? Yuh cousin brodda mother auntie nah have no problems? Mi knoa sey smaddy have sumting dem a wonda about and dem juss afraid fi ask. Come out wid it! Mek we chat sumting else fi deh ress of deh day

Alrite mi have a question? WHAT KEEP YAH COMING BACK TO JV? Mainly this tread? Sometime I wonder why I check dis here site so often. Do you actually value the opinions of those on the bord. Do you think people who post here are really genuine,How much of whats posted here matters? It's obviously not just for immigration info. Just wondering what your thoughts are.

I think its nice just to chat or listen to people who are going through the same or something similar to yourself. I think people in general like to know that they have something in common with other people. It makes you feel better about yourself.

Not too mention there is some good advise and good laughs on here.

:-)

Ditto

What exactly is in tattoo ink? Guess I never really thought about it.

Interesting that you think they used to metal in all tattoos long ago. Wonder why?

Yah, I'm not so sure Andre's are not from the local yute. The hands of his praying hands are kind of comical looking.

Do you think that voicing something like this puts you in the same category as those people who look at a Rasta and automatically assume he's smokes or something in that same vein?

Girl, you a mess..I knew u wouldn't let this slide. I was orginally offended by the comment. I was left wondering if it's my hubby that's leaving as soon as he gets his 10year.NOT!!! Since all the other predictions came true. It's one thing to judge a book by it's cover. Everyone on here wants the best for thier relationship. It was a pretty bold statement to make. My hubby may look snake in the grass but mi love him same way...

BTW MI NEED TO SEE THE PICTURE OF ALL THE MEN DEM

I have a whole bunch of tattoos .. they are addicting. And I never thought of what was in the ink. I always go to a reputible artist and clean shop etc...

So I googled "What is in Tattoo ink?"

The short answer to the question is: You can't be 100% certain! Manufacturers of inks and pigments are not required to reveal the contents. A professional who mixes his or her own inks from dry pigments will be most likely to know the composition of the inks. However, the information is proprietary (trade secrets), so you may or may not get answers to questions.

Most tattoo inks technically aren't inks. They are composed of pigments that are suspended in a carrier solution. Contrary to popular belief, pigments usually are not vegetable dyes. Today's pigments primarily are metal salts. However, some pigments are plastics and there are probably some vegetable dyes too. The pigment provides the color of the tattoo. The purpose of the carrier is to disinfect the pigment suspension, keep it evenly mixed, and provide for ease of application.

it's research...really not what I think..tattoo industry wasn't regulated back then so no one knew what was in it, how it was made stuff like that...and I should say some ink not all that r older

I would have to look up up tattoo ink to find out what it's made of

here some more specific info
