Yardies, at home and a farrin (part 8)

[*JG* 2]

jomo..its a wonderful thing, in our day when so many men aren't taught to be affectionate, but instead how to throw around their masculinity..

I love to see older man peck his wife on the lips and holder her hand. That was the driving force behind my separation.. I wanted to be that couple..

What do you think it is? I can't think of anything more manly then affection for his SO.

I shower both my children with kisses and I love you's when on the phone. I don't care how old they get to be!

Jonsie!!

maxwell is my other baby daddy !! Although I do not approve of him cutting all his hair off.. I almost cried when I saw it ..

he is coming to Dallas and I hear the tickets go all the way up to $175?? I had no idea he was so popular..

[TRELAWNY PARISH 10]

My cousins went to public schools in different areas of Trelawny, and did very well. Most of them ended up at UWI and then on to other universities here in the states. It depends on the the area I guess. I can only speak for schools in my area of Trelawny and ones that I'm familiar with. There's a website that a friend of mine was looking at that gave reports of the different school in each Parish. Let me see if I can find her number.

That would be perfect if you could give me that website. Thanks!

TL; she can't remember the name. Told me to see if the Mininistry on Education can help. Mi no know weh else fi look. Soon come.

Sunny, I'm call later.

i totally agree.. I think it makes a more stable and confident person, the one who is taught to be comfortable in showing love. i tell the girls daddy that if he is the one to give them what they need emotionally then they will be less likely to look for it elsewhere.. If I couldn't initate him to be more affectionate, hopefully that fear will do it

hey whatever works right??

hEY ALL !!

Island...I must agree with lawny..u have to go to school in JA and US and see the dif..mi neva fortunate like Lawny so mi neva go no private school...mi no know if dat deh a JA but My primary school was very very well known and academics were great. HS was very good also...I was absolutely a bad exam taker and i freaked out everytime..still do..i never study if i don't get it in class (math) i'm never gonna get it..I did very well . When i came here i felt the same way Lawny does i was ahead of my class not by brilliance but what i was taught ...cause there were some pretty smart kids in my classes. I left my homework once and went to the bathroom and came back to the teacher asking me to share my answer i'm the only one that got it, imagine that at 15 coming up from JA wear a church frock and a Patois accent... There is alot more discipline in JA in my opinion. And college is very good as well if u can afford it...i would recommend college here b/c it's recognized everywhere..if u come here from JA u have to some extra work if not not the whole thing over.

Jonsie..u know why yuh belly a run right...dat dyam ORGANIC ice cream fram yesterday...mi no bodda want none...

I agree - my niece goes to public school in JA and she is SMART - she took a math exam and got all A's last week. I think that here at a lot of schools in the US, the teachers and curriculum relies heavily on technology (example: calculators) and the kids learn how to plug in numbers for the answers instead of working the problem out without one ones own.

Girl you right - mi neva did tink seh di organic ice cream a mash mi up!

My husband has been looking at my kid's homework lately saying he's never seen anything like it.

Where do your kids go to school? Cause my kids are not allowed to use calculators in their classes. Now, the computer is another thing. But, then again, it's pretty much something you have to learn to use now.

Quana - I Maxwell. I loved his hair even more....don't like it cut. He sold out 3 shows here next month. Tickets are expensive but worth every penny. I'm not going cuz I don't have anyone to go with . Didn't want Damien to see me lose my mind ova my other man.

Jonesie - are you PG ?

[Yaads 0]

Still not over it yet Quana? Yes that would make it very difficult.

Haven't back yet He has an average sized family I would say. We talk to them often and his mom has come up here to visit when she worked in Miami.

How long has that been Yardie?

3 years. In all honesty, this is a touchy subject for me, if he really wanted to go back we/he would have gone already. He talks about wanting to go back but doesn't do anything to make it happen ie save money. We have had separate finances for over a year and a half now. He has made just as much as I have during that time and recently started making more money than I do so we are on the same level in regards to money. He has nothing saved...nothing and I know for a fact he could easily save up for a trip in a matter of a few months. He chooses to do other things with his money. His choice. I just hate feeling guilty about us not having been back when in reality it is out of my control and totally up to him. When it is important enough to him he will make the decision to budget and save for a trip. I would never go without him so for now I will wait as much as I would love to have gone back by now.

My daughter uses a calculator everyday. Damien can solve the same problem in my head. He's really good in math.

FYI - I heard from Sus. She is okay, just crazy with traveling and her conference. Guess that's why she is quiet.

Glad she is ok...I was getting worried.

that's the point...to be able to do it in ur head...when the computers crash what happens..manual comes in...and long division..how many ppl don't even know what that is

What grade ur kids in JG? what grade did Andre finish in JA?

SNOW????? Who said the "S" word? God, how I hate to hear that word.

We hit below freezing this morning. That I was hoping for to kill all the allergans. Of course, with no heat here at work thus far this week, I probably should've been hoping for warmer temps.

It was 31 degrees this morning I had to scrape ice off the windshield and everything. Luckily we don't get a lot of snow (knock on wood) but it sure is cold.
