no matter how much u explain over the phone...it's a whole u ball game when he gets here

I realize this very much now. I actually didnt ever explain to much to him before hand cause you cant tell that man nothing....waaaaayyyy to stubborn. Even when he's here you cant tell him nothing. Its hard for me to sit back and watch a mistake happen, but I know its the only way to deal with him. He wont die from it, but he may drive me crazy along the way. He eventually figure it out....thats when I wanna yell "I TOLD U SO!!" but I dont. I notice that he gets caught up in get rich quick schemes very easily. He does not see how its really hard work, and perseverence that pays off in the long run. These things worry me cause they are the exact thing that can ruin your credit or prevent you from establishing some. because of this I have to watch him closely to make sure that the mistake will not mess this up for him. I relize now that many people come to the US really thinking its much much easier.

Lita, yes u have to explain things to a T..and show him what WILL happen..Kashi has this dream about buying a house cash..i said babe, u keep ur head high ..but he's getting it little by little..he now understands why it is not a good idea to buy a new car cash..so thats good

no matter how much u explain over the phone...it's a whole u ball game when he gets here

AMEN!!! But don't worry...as long as you are both committed to making your relationship work. Together... you'll see it through!!

And, Lita....you are right. Sometimes you have to just sit back and let him crash and burn to learn the lesson. Cause if they are so damn stubborn, you can't do a thing.

Just had that last week, into this. Stupid mistakes can cost. I saw the cultural difference and he nearly paid for it. Now, he knows. Hopefully, he's learned.

There is something so earthly, virile and fertile about Jamaica...there is never a true way to know if you can stop menses before a vacation there. So, I did what needed to be done. I went to my OB/GYN and told them to take everything...make a pool for his kids with the uterus and jump rope with my tubes...use the ovaries for punching bags...I was through with them anyway. Wah-la! No more worries about Aunt Flo! I can wear white the entire trip...alll year long if I so desire. I love it!

I WISH.. i mean honestly.. my tubes are tied, what good is any of that stuff anyway.. do u have to take estrogen?? or any other hormones??

I take estrogen. It's not a big deal.

sometimes they win because for some reason or the other their nastiness conveys mistrust and cynicism and people are alot more cynical these days due to the time we are in.the first thing those people try to convey is that people are trying to get something from someone but sus your heart is clear and that's most important.

Thank you, Jakeswife - But that's not always true - especially in a jury trial - I have worked on many many many trials - One of the biggest things that comes across when you poll the jury at the end is how they felt about the lawyer - If they get a nasty vibe from a lawyer, or take a dislike to them, it can seriously skew your case.

That was another thing she tried to nail me on - bc I used to work for my attorneys - I told her that if you are sick, you go to a dr. you trust - why would I not go to someone I trust over someone I picked outta the phonebook?

I had similar when I was depoed in my ex-husband's disability discrimination case. The opposition tried to get me all riled up. She kept asking me all these dates to get me all confused. I just whipped out my calendar from that year and reeled off dates. She said, you write everything down? Of course. She shut the hell up after that. And, immediately after, they brought up mediation....something they were completely against before then. Boo yah!

Amen Lita, and if ur not strong u quickly ca n lose what u fought so hard for

Gilli..how Kenny (do no tell him mi call h im so ) and job ting

Mawning family,

Kenny (hehe) is alright. He is working at a club on Friday/Saturday nights doing coat check/bartending. Girl, I love the stories he comes home with! How Girls leave there numbers for him (in their coats or write it on the tips they give him! ). I just laugh, cause I know my Boo and that ain't his style. "Dem likkle pickney gal dem cyan't duh nuttin' fuh mi right ya now!"

He is such a worker ant...that it's been hard on him. I never met a man that LOVES to work! But he does. My family LOVES him. They are all finding little odd jobs to do around their houses, cause they know Ken's not down with handouts. So my one Aunt had him pack a barrel for her. Another had him paint her house, another had him put up some windows for her...I'm blessed to have them.

I know his self-esteem was suffering the last few months...b/c you know how Yard men stay they have to feel like they are contributing. I just kept telling him...no worries...we are in this together and hey I am the real reason you can't work right now...I should have filed your AOS/EAD/AP sooner. So he knows there is more than enough blame to go around...so don't try to hog it all !

I think the realism of America not being as 'easy' as he once thought is also starting to hit home. Like we always say there are somethings that no matter how much you try to explain to them...they HAVE to see & FEEL it for themselves.

No lie...life is hard...but we are FINALLY together, so it make it all worthwhile...and we know "this too shall pass!" As Kenny says "Not hevery day deh sea will be rough...one day it haffi calm!" And I am still happy as a clam to have my Kenny here ...finally!!

Bless-ed,

Gill

Hi Gilly. So glad to hear from you. You've been on my mind lately.
