Morning all! I am at work already and feel like I got hit by a truck :(

Here's a laugh to start the day:

BASIC RULES FOR DRIVING IN KINGSTON

1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A real Kingston driver never uses them.

2. Under no circumstance should you leave a safe distance between you and the car in front of you, or the space will be filled in by somebody else, putting you in an even more dangerous situation.

3. The faster you drive through a red light, the smaller the chance you have of getting hit.

4. Never, ever come to a complete stop at a stop sign. No one expects it and it will result in you being rear-ended.

5. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive bodywork. The other guy doesn't have anything to lose.

6. Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensure that your ABS kicks in, giving a nice, relaxing foot massage as the brake pedal pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it's a chance to stretch your legs.

7. Never pass on the right when you can pass on the left. It's a good way to scare people for a laugh.

8. Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as a suggestion and are apparently not enforceable in Kingston.

9. Just because you're in the right lane and have no room to speed up or move over doesn't mean that a Kingston driver flashing his high beams behind you doesn't think he can go faster in your spot.

10. Always slow down and rubberneck when you see an accident or even someone changing a tire.

11. Learn to swerve abruptly. Kingston is the home of the high-speed 'dally' , thanks to the KSAC, which puts pot-holes in key locations to test drivers' reflexes and keep them on their toes.

12. It is traditional in Kingston to honk your horn at cars that don't move the instant the light turns green.

13. Remember that the goal of every Kingston driver is to get there first --by whatever means necessary.

Hey Claire...open your email, then SAVE the picture attachment to your computer (I use my desktop or pictures folder on the C drive). Then, upload the saved file to your photobucket album. Last, there will be an IMG code under the photo in Photobucket, copy it then paste it in your vj post. There you go!

Thinking back on my day..

Today I had to go to the mall with a friend to pick up some ordered gifts. We walked by Victoria Secret and I made the joke about how the only thing there that fits me is the lotions. I said I bet they would make a killing if they allowed their panties and bras for the bigger woman.

My friend is a size 8 and I'm a 16. She looked at me and said, "don't take this the wrong way but VS markets to the smaller women because they are elite. They are what everyone woman wants to look like and they aren't ever going to make them for bigger women."

I stared in shock and then asked her so you're saying big women shouldn't be sexy. She said no I see I upset you but I'm saying they can be sexy but that's why they have to go to a shop for them or the internet. VS is to show the beauty and sexyness in smaller women. She said I'm sure they would make a killing if they did sale to bigger women but then they would no longer be elite to the smaller woman.

The said part about it all is after mauling it over tonight I think she may be right..why else have they never made a panty for double digit women...

Thoughts??? I'm headed to bed and hope to read your thoughts when I get to work tomorrow.

Wakey

Night Night

There are other far more "elite" lingerie boutiques than VS. Your friend is...I will reserve judgement. ;)<_< I'm not sure why Victoria Secret opted not to market to plus size women (anyone larger than a 14), but I'm sure it was not to be considered elite. At one point, they didn't market to Black women either. Maybe, they will one day realize that the average US woman is a size 14, and decide to change their range of sizes.

I can't afford anything from them but their lotions anyway. Ha-ha...I just don't have $50 to spend on a bra when my boys want $150 tennis shoes. :wacko::jest::rolleyes:

I remember when I was a size 10, and I purchased a Valentine's Day teddy in a size 12 from VS. Well, tell that to the piece of lingerie. I had booty cheeks and other unmentionables hanging out for days. Remember I had to give it to Mama, who was all of a size 6 soaking wet? She loved it! I have since boycotted them.

Jawi; that was last year (July) I was about to leave for the airport it was 4:30 in the morning. Friends bugged me to go to sumfest, we went one night and didn't go back. We went to stay with my uncle in Mandeville for a few days and they loved that even more.

Girlllllll, I will never put Kinky twist in my hair again. OMG 10 hours! mi musah did rass mad.

********************************************************************************

....when it hurts to look back and you're scared to look ahead LOOK beside you and I'll be there.....

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore... and who always will.

So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

oh yeah i had a question too...in my VISA APPROVED thread i mentioned that my hubby didn't get a pink slip but a small white paper which the CO stamped the date on it...he said it was so small that it could fit in the middle of his palm...i thought that was weird since everyone else mentioned a pink slip...he said he saw like one person with a pink slip but they were on the visitor visa part and most people from his area got the little white paper...do you guys think that is something new????...i guess i will know if he actually does get his passport back next week....but just wanted to put it out there...

We got that too, it was more like a grey little cardboard looking thing. but we also had a pink slip that we were given to write his passport number on. so when she gave us that she said asked if we had the passport number written down and we said yes.
