Yardies at home and Farrin (part12)

[Shemmy 4]

Ladies, I am here at work getting goosebumps as I am watching the inauguration on tv. What a great day it is in our lives???

Me too Claire. Isn't this amazing?

My daughter is down there...I'm so proud of her.

I agree Jawi - we all know how easy it is to get caught up in the island romance - this is a great place to learn the good and the bad, the ups and the downs and become more informed -

My point exactly. I was amazed at the number of women that still have questions about their own relationships and filing...or had them in the past...that just laughed at her. I thought the other poster was a troll too, which may have been why I didn't water down my reply. I still think that women should take time to get to know their SO outside of the initial couple of meetings...sex...lunch dates or what have you. That's why I said I would withhold my opinion. But, to laugh because she didn't know what patois was very hypocritical to me. I'm not calling anyone out...but there are a LOT of PLATINUM VJ Yardie members that fake the funk about knowing patois, but couldn't understand a spoken conversation in patois to save their life. They see it typed here and assume they know...until you question them...and they don't have a clue of the real context of the word. Thanks SUS...each of your posts tonight have been very fair and enlightening.

ok here is my take. jawi it's one thing to find a site just to get a little insight but it's a whole different thing when u know absolutley nothing but still doing something that will no doubt affect your life. mind u i agree that a lot of us on here should empathize cause they were in that situation a while ago but to be honest what she knows now is sooooooooo miniscule for her to be taking on whatever she will be taking on and to have the perspective that she holds of him carrying his weight is so contrary to what she is doing because when the filing is over she will be carrying his weight for a minute and that seems to be a problem for her already even though she did acknowledge it.

I agree here as well. I don't think your responses were hypocritical, you just summarized what you read to be sure that was what the running joke was about. I think BB definitely needs to get a crash course on Jamaica 101. We don't need to laugh at her because she is not one of the "clan" yet. No matter how uninformed she sounds. Everybody that is not Jamaican or raised Jamaican had to start somewhere. I admit I was clueless about Jamaica...but I didn't bring home a man in 5 months either. LOL

ok..mi get so pissed at mi co-worker today..short story.she know har son a cheap on do girl him get pregnant..di girl find out..starts going crazy..seh she nah mek him si him chil when it born!! den mi co-worker a chat bout di gyal a start things..if she can't just be pregnant..ok #######!! see a women like she mek dem bwoy pickney act like dem ###### no stink and can treat women all sort a ways...she seh him don't want him baby modda him just want di baby ..ok wow...she knew he has been cheating on the girl.mi just affi remind her she is a woman !

I hate when mothers do this with their son's. Then, sit at home and cry because a man won't treat them right. We need more women raising their sons to be real men.

Ok, I just wanted to know if this was for real cause it seemed a little crazy to me...thats all I'm saying. I think its seems odd to be marrying a person that you seem to not know much about where they come from thats all. Yes lots of folks learned alot while on here, but they were just dating right, not about to commit to the person forever. I REALLY thought this was a troll.

There are a lot of new people that post on VJ that seem weird or a little crazy. Did you ever read the post by Sweet Seoul? She posted about her husband coming here and treating her like #######...and she thought she knew him too. They dated for awhile...maybe a year or so....she married him in his country...and he still came here and told her that she wasn't a woman...and her 12 yr old sister was more of a woman than she was. She also stated that she was a regular on VJ but was too ashamed to post under her regular board name. I for one don't want to be the cause for why a person can't freely post because they feel like they will be judged and ridiculed. I privately apologized to Honey because I started something...not in malice...but my opinion was still taken that way. I am very sensitive when it comes to kids...but I should have clarified with her privately.

idk Jawi...If I met a man and was interested in a lifelong relationship with him and he spoke differently than I did, I would have asked him what language he was speaking...but then again mi fass

but I did apologize BB and let her know we're here to help

I feel you...trust me I do. But, we don't really know the level or nature of their communication with each other.

Yup! Monday, February 16th is the big day

That was my wedding anniversary with my ex-husband.

don't get me wrong sus i have not prejudge her relationship nor the direction it's going in. i am just saying that learning patois here is probably the only unmistaken truth she can get here. cause even hearing our story can only be a measuring stick not her truth

I don't she will learn it if she feels that we are making fun of her for not knowing.

I am gonna be honest with you ladies, when I first joined the thread I found that some ladies were very nice and welcoming. On the other hand some were judgemental and full of themselves. It never really bothered me because I am a Yardie born and raised so culture is not my problem. I really felt bad this poor lady just looking for a few friends and all she just got laughed at, Thats just plain wrong. A little scripture for tonight. Matthew 7:1-11

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way as you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4How can you say to your brother, `Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye

*****dont hate me its just my opinion*****

No truer word spoken than the Gospel. I have been guilty of the whole tree in my eye. LOL

wow, a lot was said last night

You were smart. I have been trying to watch it pon the net from the office but the rass stream keeps kicking me out. I should've went to the bar next door cuz I heard alot of cheering down there. I'm gonna see of I can download his speech into some type of podcast so I can listen to the whole thing on the plane tomorrow.

Pretty much. Just gotta finish my last couple things tonight and I'm done. I have been doing mega laundry for the last 3 days so I don't have to come home to any full hampers.

A just called me spitting bullets. He took most of his first paycheck of his real-offical job he started on the 5th and went to buy me "something special". Well it is apparently some homemade - he checked the guy at his shop on Saturday but he said he didn't do it the way he wanted so he told him fix it right. That was the last time he talked to him. He called him on Sunday and couldn't get him. He left work a little early yesterday and no man - saw one of his workers who said he can't get him either and he didn't go to shop at all yesterday. A goes again today and there is 7 other people at the shop looking for this man. One guy paid him over $60k ja for whatever this guy does (A still won't tell me). They are all hopping mad thinking this guy has stolen their money and busted out of town!!!

No good deed goes unpunished........
