Can somebody please tell me why Jamaican men have soooo many different names, my husband birth name is Verton his family calls him Emil , His soccer friends call him Calvin and his younger friends call him father / older friends call him gighead orsomething like that who am I married too!!! I need Nancy Drew .

Same here...his nickname is a real name

Everyone in JA seems to have a nickname. I met nuff people who had "real" names as nicknames. Ok...your birthname is Phyliss but you go by Lois? Why? I must admit though that I came away with quite a few nicknames from JA. Most people in JA don't call me my real name and some don't even know it.

My niece's nickname is winge. You know what that means? I hate that they call her that. (btw....my spelling could be off)

Hey Den yes thats Tahlia...now just over 2mths

I'm pretty sure there are a lot of jamaican women that do the same thing.

I STILL dont know what yall are talkin about

women use men for visas, as well.

OK..I have been gone for a looonnngggg time, I need the 4-1-1 on what's been happenin the last 2 weeks!? BTW, Wagwaan...

And....my husbands nickname is Belly (yall know that by now) and the guy that drives me around, his friend, his nickname is Winge (pronounced "win-gee") and now I know why---he is the skinniest Jamaican man I know, god bless 'em!

OK here is an interesting question: Would you share a hotel room with someone you have never met/don't know? I might be going to this event next week and I don't really know anyone else who will be there. Of course it is overnight and out of town. So the coordinator I have emailed says there is another woman going that is looking for a roomie. Would you do it or would you pay the whole room fee to have your own room? If I did that then I would feel bad cause she will know I didn't want to room with her. Ugh

Yaads, I have done that before - But the person I shared with was someone I knew by email, not in person - it worked out fine. You have to judge how comfortable you are - if you aren't, then blame it on your snoring, talk in sleep, anything - make it seem like you are the reason you can't share -

tell her you wear a c-pap at night (breathing machine). That's the most common excuse I get when I am trying to room people for retreats.

Shrew the school is culturally diversed she's just a friggin EDIAT! I'll see what kind of a reply I get from the school board. 29 years ago my brother and I went through this. They made us take ESOL, because we had a heavy british accent and the teachers said it was difficult for them to understand us. I was never so bored in my life. My brother and I went for 1 month and that was all we could take. My parents moved from out of DC to MD. We hated the DC school system.
