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

[clairern 0]

Claire,

I found a non-stop one way ticket on Air Jamaica for $219 (taxes included). The flight departs MBJ on August 3rd.

Kelia

Thanks Kelia, but he is leaving from Kingston and he wants to leave on August 31st. He also prefers to fly AJ because as of right now they do not have this BS charging for second bag as everyone else does.

Good looking out.

I just went to the AJ site and the ticket is US$210.62 from Kingston to Orlando with a two hour stop-over in Mobay.

Gill.........if you DO this now, you know the visa is not the end. She will be bugging you for the rest of the process to help her (i.e. do everything) all the way through. Do you really want her calling you 12 years from now and every 10 after??????????????????????

AMEN. If she want a new date she should be the person to call or email to request it. Give a woman a fish or teach her how fi find dem and cook dem wi di head still pon.

Ladies;

Guess what? My STALKER is back. But she changed her name. Baby girl, I know you're lurking. Thanks for all the e-mails to my yahoo account. I didn't bother to read them...well, just one. I'm not going to entertain you any further....just wanted to put you out there.

So, they gave me a party before I got married and one when I got back wich was yesterday, very nice. Why some people have to hate on others. I just got into it with my coworkers I got tired of her comments. I was trying not to say anything, but sometimes you have to kick people in their face. She send an email to several of my co-workers that I'm close to (she doesn't know that)...since she's only beenhere 3 months and I've been working her 11 years and of course the forward it to me. She was like why the hell would someone want to marry a woman with a child and that at my age I should never think about getting married blah...blah...blah and why I my son's father didn't marry me. That should have been a big red flag to my new husband...blah..blah..blah. Then here is the kicker..."I can't believe they gave her all that money she must be dead broke and can't pay her bills"...now, was I wrong for cussing her out.

WHY, why battle ignorants with ignorants. You don't feel she is correct in her statment, right. Get a fly swatter and swatt her away. Every morning, you comes to work with a big chessesy smile on your face, no matter, if your hair is a mess. She on the other hand, is only using her hand, and it is not givining her any satisfaction.

ROXIE;

In all honesty I didn't want to say anything to her, but she was plucking at my nerves. She also made a comment about me taking off so much. Mind you, she's not my boss. I just had to put her in her place and sometimes you have to do that. But to tell you the truth, I would rather get a jar of vaseline, take all 10 of my earings out, put on a pair of TIMBS and kick her A$$, but I'm a LADY. I kow I've mentioned her before. She hates Jamaicans. I would love to take the e-mail and go to HR to complain, but she has 6 kids to feed. I know I'm a wuss.

[Asante Maroon 0]

You are so right... That's one of the reasons why I am proud to say I am Jamaican. We do preserve our culture and that is such a wonderful feeling to have.

My last visit to Ghana was during Ghana's 50th year anniversary of their independence. They had a program celebrating this where this Jamaican man read a poem that his father wrote talking about Ghana and the connections he knew about through his ancestors. It was absolutely remarkable! He even used the very words we have spoken about.

People may not always like the way things are in JA, but you have to respect it because we are a strong people and many notable people have come out of JA who have made impacts in this world...Garvey, Collin Powell, Marley, and so many more. Bob is so powerful that his music still have a big impact today.

Just to think a small island like Jamaica producing such great people. You hafi respeck!

I'm sure your parents (and maybe you!) have heard the saying 'If yuh cyaa ketch Kwaku, yuh ketch him shirt'...A direct reference to Kwaku Anancy....I heard that 'unu', 'yaso' and 'deso' were all African words.

I think that's why Jamaicans are so resistant to change for the majority, you do things the way you were raised and never deviate.....I think it was done to preserve the culture we could remember...

Some one in my has a whole manuscript tracing back our family to the Ashanti's of Ghana. Maroons are a direct decedent of the Ashanti's. I know you heard that the Maroons were warriors... well, the Ashanti's back in the days were fierce in Ghana. They too were warriors who were hard to defeat.

A friend of mine who is also a Maroon, remembers her granny saying words that she knew did not derive from any English words she knew. When she asked my cousins what some of those words meant he was able to translate for her. And she said that the translation made sense in the context that her grandmother used it.

In Ghana they talk about Anansie the spider too....They refer to him as Kwaku Anansie....same stories, same message. There are so many similarities that its crazy...I mow understand even more why roots reggae speaks highly on Africa. It's pretty cool.

So I guess we are truly Sistrens then

[LIFE'SJOURNEY 970]

Ladies, here is my comment when others, parents, siblings, friends, co-workers, metro bus drivers, etc, feels it is their givien right to tell me who I should love, or whom I should let into my life. I ask them, is it right to throw away a whole bushel of apples, because there are some rotten ones in the bottom, or should I simply enjoy the ripe and beautiful ones. If you act right, I might be inclind to share some of the good ones that are still in the basket with you. What you need to know is that this is my apple tree and I will enjoy the fruits from it as I see fit.
