Oh when I speak...it's very clear that I'm not Jamaican. The women are sometimes not as nice to me as the guys are. Oh but when every I was with my Husband at the hotel or tourist spots...they ALWAYS thought he was American. Never failed.

Does anyone have problems understanding their SO sometimes?

I haven't had that problem...just wondering if other have.

Yes and sometimes he has trouble understanding me. In the end we both end up laughing at the other. This happened to us the other day when I asked him what he was eating. He was saying I'm not eating it is a gum. I don't know why when he chews gum he always has to say I'm eating A GUM. LOL well anyway I couldn't make out what he was saying so he spells g-u-m I just started laughing I said why do you always have to say I'm eating A GUM?! Next time just tell me I'm chewing gum. His answer was oh I didn't know there was more than one way to say it?!

No. It's his reasoning I don't understand sometimes. I think that's cause he's a man, plain and simple. His speech I have no issues with.

yep Jg, today people have on shorts and no coats, they are talking about snow come Sunday...i swear i cant stand this hot and cold back and forth...

SOL, im bout to pm you

Why do you have to tell her you are going to PM her????She gets a message on the board when you do

claire, sol pays no mind to that, if she isnt following the thread and i may have a question for her that i need an answer to right then, but she will PM me back 8 hours later, so i usually point it out and highlight her name so she sees it. and sometimes when i get pms or have messages they dont always show up on the board and then when im messing around with the controls i will see it...

She doesn't get e-mails saying she has PM's?

I do but I never check that email! ROFL

Bleaching can't be good for the skin...

I think I heard the agent in it is linked to some sort of cancer.

yaads, i really dont know, but im friendly to a fault... i dont go to jamaica fronting like i am jamaican i speak to everyone and mind my business when its called for, i try to speak patois only with D, cause im learning and he corrects me and if i use american slang, i explain it to him, but seriously some of the unfriendliness or the side comments i hear, when me and d are out, piss me off and in my eyes( mind you i said my eyes) we should look like every other man and women walking down the street or out... Hell sometimes i might as well be the nekkid crazy lady with the shower cap on, for the looks i get at times, i mean the more im in JA the better it seems to be getting but that isnt all the time...

Girl I know all about pissy attitudes, nasty looks and unfriendly people. It sure does get old. Like Marlita said I really think it is more the area you are going than anything else. When A and I would travel to Ochi or when we were in MoBay it was a whole different (not good) ballgame then when we were in our little community in the middle of nowhere.

I saw a difference in the way the women treated me in Negril over the women in Ochi. Women in Ochi were very nasty the women in Negril were civil and the men have always been nice to me regardless. Umm but that might be due to my "rump" lol I remember last time I was in Ochi this old man came right up to my sister and was like can I tell you something?! She said yes and he said I like your rump!!!! I LMAO! That man was old enough to be our great grandaddy!!!!

I am sharing this email that I received today.

I'm a middle-class white guy living in Jacksonville ,

Florida . I've got a wife and two kids. Because the

kids had no school today, I took a vacation day from work,

and took the kids downtown to vote early. Fifty-nine

minutes later, two smiling children and I proudly sported

"I Voted" stickers.

But I didn't vote for Obama.

I voted for my ancestors, who believed in the promise of

this country and came with with nothing as immigrants.

I voted for my parents, who taught in the public schools

for decades.

I voted for Steve, an acquaintance of mine from Kentucky .

(Killed by an IED two years ago in Iraq ).

I voted for Shawn, another who's been to Iraq twice,

and Afghanistan once, and who'll be going back to

Afghanistan again soon -- and whose family earned eleven

bucks a month too much to qualify for food stamps when the

war started.

I voted for April, the only African-American girl in my

high school -- it was years before it occurred to me how

different her experience of our school must have been.

I voted for my college friends who are Christian, Jewish,

Mormon, and yes -- Muslim.

I voted for my grandfathers, who worked hard in factories

and died too young.

I voted for the plumber who worked on my house, because I

want him to get a REAL tax break.

I voted for four little angels from Birmingham .

I voted for a bunch of dead white men who, although

personally flawed, were willing to pledge their lives,

fortunes, and sacred honor, and used a time of great crisis

to expand freedom rather than suspend it.

I voted for all those people and more, and I voted for all

of you, too. But mostly, I voted selfishly. I vote for two

little kids, one who has ballet in an hour, and once who has

baseball practice at the same time. I voted for a world

where they can be confident that their government will

represent the best that is in this country, and that will in

turn demand the best of them. I voted for a government that

will be respected in the world. I voted for an economy that

will reward work above guile. I voted for everything I

believe in.

Sure, I filled in the circle next to the name Obama, but it

wasn't him I was voting for -- it was every single one

of us, and those I love most of all.

Who else is there to vote for?

DISCLAIMER:::......THESE ARE NOT NECESSARILY MY VIEWS LOL
