i agree Lita that this country is not very friendly..don't think it's a blanket statement, some individuals are friendly..

Right. I of course dont know everbody in the country, but as a general statement, the US is not a very friendly country. many other countries see this in us too. I think it just takes seeing others countries style to realize it. Of course there are other countries worse than us, but there are some better than us. Its just an American style thats all.

absolutely, JG we are not talkin gindividuals here..how many of u fear being left on the side of the road in the middle of the day...b/c b4 anyone stops a 100 ppl will pass

We just haven't experienced that at all.

Come visit Connecticut - We're a bunch of snooty bytches here

I think it really depends on the area you are in - Even last week, being in MD - everyone was so polite, you got greeted in every store you entered, even 7-11 they said thank you, have a nice day - Places where I live, if you get a grunt you are lucky.

That's what we see here.....the friendliness. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else and see the opposite.

Where is Dancehallquana when I need her??? Does anyone else here know when Jah Cure's next CD will be released?? I know it is going to be soon, but I can't find the release date! I NEED to know...

BETJ will also be doing a spotlight on him this weekend. Check your local listings. It sounds like a mini-concert.

I'm glad we went CR1 cause hubby would not be able to stay home for too long

We had to go K, I get two weeks of vacation per year, if he didn't get denied for the visiting visa we would probably have done the CR1.

I have been stopped on the side of the rode. Flat tire on the highway. I had a lady pick me up and give me a ride to my house. I wasn't even amazed by it. I knew someone would. It's one reason I love this city. It's big with a small town feel.

NO JG! Its noise, just not "vibes" noise. Its a big difference. No tree frogs at night, no crickets, no bike taxi or chicken or rooster, or old rasta patwah, or the latest selecta in the atmosphere spinning, or little squeaky voice kids in trees, or traffic and JA badwords, or the smell of some roadside vendor grilling. Its way different. The noise is just either not there, or way different.

i totally agree Lita, u know what u can get for Evan for x-mas a subcription to like iriefm or something...he can listen to the local programs and such

That's a great idea. I am getting A a subscription to the Gleaner and the Star for Christmas I just hope sams24-7.com is willing to send it all this way and it makes it every week. I am having a hard time not telling him what I am getting him. Imagine his face when he opens the mailbox and the Star is there

Here is the link to the newspapers if anyone else is interested

I was wondering if you could get these. he saw a gleanor in my car the other day and was shocked. It was one from when I was in JA though.

You know Yaads I think certain towns are nicer than others. I am in LA.....not nice.....at all. When I was in Sacramento it was nicer than here. I think its your community thats all. I want to move to a tight knit community somewhere in the country or something...I just dont want to be the only Black person, and I dont want to deal with Racism. So I am having a hard time figuring out where that is.

Oh, there is plenty wrong with this city. But, not anything out of the ordinary for every city. And, seriously, it's diverse, the people are nice for the most part, it has everything we want and need, it's big and small at the same time, etc. It is the perfect city for us.

We have discussed moving and when we got to why we would want to leave the city, we couldn't come up with any reasons at this point.

I have been to many cities I would definately not want to live in. Too aparent from the start.

That would probably not happen here - We even had a flat on the highway at 1 am - called triple A - Not only did everyone pass us by - about 6 cops whizzed by and didn't stop to see why we were stopped on the highway. It took AAA 3 hours to get to us.

Never been to CA; but I've always thought it probably wouldn't mesh well with me.

I had friend flip over on the highway inthere car.....no body stopped to help them. I was in a car that flipped over on the highway. Someone did stop but after we created all this traffic from the accident people started yelling an cussing us out for holding them up in traffic.....not a friendly place.
