Hey Wakey,

How is Dwane adjusting? Been missing you girl.

Man I wrote this whole reply and it didn't post.

Dwayne is doing great. We are still adjusting to the airconditioner being on at night. I keep it on 77 but you would think I had it on 60 something. He sleeps all bundled up.

I can't wait until he gets his own car though. The volume he likes to listen to music at is deafening. My sis relates with him she loves to blast it too! Then I'm trying to show him places over this volume and getting hoarse. When I turn it down it soon creeps back up to ungodly decibles.

Turns out he really didn't like my meatloaf. He was just being polite. I found out when offering leftovers he always said no I'll eat this or that instead.

The dog is still going crazy. Looks like he needs more adjustment time than Dwayne. He goes crazy when we kiss or even touch and tries to move Dwayne hand off of me andd put it on him.

my car broke down on Friday it wouldn't go over 15 mph so now I will need to take some time off in order to get Dwayne's ssn and our marriage certificate.

Otherwise we are doing grrrreat!!! I don't regret one minute and would do it all over again to feel this joy and love. Everyone that is waiting for your interview hang in their through the trials and tribulations of immigration because when your SO is with you for good you don't remember the pain and cost.

Tre I'm glad your co-workers were dealth with for their unprofessional behavior

Honey I see you finally finished taking your braids out. I hate that part oh and the sitting to get more in but they sure are timesavers and make you look so young!

Happy and Blessed Sunday everyone!

or new topic...

Okay, so as you guys im a social worker, and have been for some years now... i love my job( sometimes) and i feel like I make a difference in peoples lives...Mrs.P arent you a social worker as well??? ... but anyhoo, my job is never going to make me rich, and i will forever be under a microscope with the county, in regards to treatment outcomes, blah blah blah. My question, is i have seriously been considering returning to school to obtain a degree in a whole different field, im thinking something in the healthcare field, like an x ray tech or a therapeutic masseuse or something not requiring the viewing of body fluids. I am torn between going for a master's in social work, as right now im only a LBSW, with the hopes that with a masters i can find another job in the same field making more money, or trying something new???

What do you guys think, im just looking for opinions, im not really certain what i want to do, so i thought i would throw it out to my VJ sistren and see how they would weigh it??

What would be your idea salary? Are you licensed(LLSW)? I say If you like what you do, keep at it. Going for your Master's sounds like a great idea. You could obtain your license and continue to work in the field of health care, hopefully the masters and the license will boost your income. I've thought about going in to the therapeutic message as well, def not a a sole sore of income, maybe a hobby. It would probably take a while to build cliental.

Question..........How often do your SO's wear their jeans before washing while living in Jamaica?

Good Question. I have no clue. I hope that's not one of the interview questions because I'd be in trouble. LMAO

haha, I wear my jeans a few times before washing them. If they dont get super dirty during my 8-10 hours of wearing them aint no way I'm washing them so much. Am I nasty? I know many people that do this. And at times I just get them dry cleaned if they are a dark wash to preserve the color.

No you're not, I do the same...esp if I've paid $$$ for them. I encourage hubby to do the same but noooooh, he has to wash his each time he wears them.

Hey Guys,

I got some very sad news from Lawny today.

Marcel's Mom passed away eithr yesterday or today. She is trying to find out if there is ANYWAY possible for him to go home to JA to attend the funeral and not have to go through the initial process of having to file a K3 or IR/CR again!

Bwoy, I really feel it for them. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep them in your prayers today and going forward. If anyone knows of any route they may be able to go please post and let her know.

I told her to call the 202# tomorrow and if that does not work the Dept. of Homeland Security or/and the State Dept. Someone has to have a heart to at least hear her out!

I know we all believe in the power of prayer...and I know we all know ANYTHING & EVERYTHING is possible through the Lord. So please keep Lawny & Marcel in your thoughts and prayers.

Blessed love,

Gill

OMG! ..prayers going out to Lawny and Marcel family....i have no idea what route he can try...but all the best

[JaHoney 3]

oMG... im so sorry to hear that in regards to Lawny and Marcel, so much going on, they barely have time to enjoy being newlyweds. I will definitely keep them in prayer.

[JaHoney 3]

Gill, these are the two things i was able to find on VJ regarding deaths in the family without AP, hope this helps somewhat.

Info Pass appointment for the AP, they will issue AP in cases of emergency.

http://infopass.uscis.gov/

and this was part of a post of someone else who had a death, last year, so im pasting it as well:

You will need to take proof of the death with you to the infopass appointment.... I am sorry for your wife's loss but please do not let her leave the US without the AP or she will not be allowed back in....

You can not send it to her... because if the date she left is before the date of approval then she will have abandoned her AOS and you would have to file for a K3/CR1 and she would have to wait for that to be approved before she could return home to the US....

[Jengles 0]

now i know why i pray...last week missa jengs came home and waved a WHITE ipod charger inna face, all happy cause now he don't have to charge it via the computer anymore...three days ago i'm trying to connect to the internet but couldn't because the WHITE charger was plugged into the strip and i guess missa jengs unplugged the modem..the day after that here him, he can't find the ipod charger so i say isn't it the white charger by the computer desk my man says no, mind is him buy it so I decide to roll with it and i say ok, about an hour ago my man starts looking for something and he's not telling what he's looking for, he's pulling out drawers all that but just being a pain, so finally mi couldn't tek it no more and ask him what he's looking for...the ipod charger and how it's black and he can't find it. i showed him the charger and at first my man actually said to me it's not that. I had to show him the part that plugs into the ipod all he could say was i thought it was black.

and the sad part is he don't even smoke...

Maybe he's color blind??

I had to laugh into the pillow with this one, if you had seen what he wanted to wear to Kimmy's shower, u would say yes it's true. Ladies I saved you all from a travesty...I should get paid!!! Cause yuh eyes would have hurt you.. I had to hold up the outfit on myself twice and say are u sure you want to wear this ??? really are u sure??? finally he couldn't tek it anymore and said aright go and pick out wha mi fi wear. sweeter words have never been spoken.

Ooh no, that is a tragedy...I think you gave her the best advice to call the #202 number i belive i read on other vj forums of some sort of expedited advance parole...i'll try and find out over on the K1 forum.
