Cool @ Roxcie.... i will be home with the covers pulled up to my chin by 630 im positive, cause lately i been dragging myself home and crawling in the bed.

[^KK^ 3]

Roxcie im neurotic as ever, nothing has changed...except today is HUMPDAY, thank god for that....LOL

KK, whats up no baby sitting? what if i send them with there own food, will that sweeten the offer?

LOL..I think they will enjoy visiting Jamaica..They have wonder what it is like. Maybe I'll volunteer next time..but don't hold me to it.

my 10 yr old is pressing on my good nerves every single day, if i could leave him home i would, he is such a brat ( semi my fault and about 85% grandparents fault) im hoping that he wont get to JA acting no fool.. but at least over there if i bust him in his head maybe no one will be trying to call CPS on me. The kids are quite respectful from what i have seen over there.

I usually keep my two cents to my self, but I feel like adding today...

Some of you have mention that your SO makes X amount; When I started dating my SO I only made x amount and since I was an exempt employee I wasn't qualified for OT nor did I have the time for a second job since I didn’t know when I was going to work late. So when we started dating I was living on a budget a very tight budget because living in NYC wasn't cheap. But my SO was someone I was interested in a wanted to get to know, so instead of going out with my girlfriends every week I would only go out with them once or twice a month and my SO started working 1hour earlier and 1hour later. I cut every extra features off my phone, got rid of my internet. I never pretend to him like I was rich and he never did either. He took on any extra job he could get.

I said this to say that a relationship especially LDR takes a lot of sacrificing and if you are the only one making that sacrifice then maybe you guys are not on the same page.

That is what it is all about PA. And to my point, I have never once seen you give a disclaimer before you start posting about your relationship. You trusted your gut and your relationship.

I have a friend who is Jamaican, but lives here - She was paying $75 a month towards her mother's electric bill in JA - her mother let everyone in the neighborhood hook up to her current - Even a store! So, they shut it off, because the $75 a month wasn't making a dent in the bill - I will never forget my friend telling me that her mother was sitting in the dark with no lights - she was continuing to pay the $75 a month, and her mother would have electricity again when either the $75 paid off the back bill, or her mother got the neighborhood to kick in and pay it.

The story always stuck in my mind - because she was giving what she could to her loved ones, but not letting them take advantage and setting the boundaries.

This is sad but kind of funny too. Mommy was trying to share her good fortune.

Since $$$ seems to be the issue today........Everyone please send positive thoughts to JA for my hubby (michael) as he has his first round of interviews today to go to Canada for a work program.......like that segway??? We need him to go and make some $$$ cause I can't do this process on my income and his JA income alone.......He has been waiting for the interview for 4 hours already...says that there are over 300 people there.... Poor baby...left home at 4am to be there on time by 7:30.

He will do just fine. A went through the same process. Link me later and let me know when he gets more details on what area. I may have some phone numbers that he can use while there depending on the area.

Just an FYI for anyone traveling from or by of of STL. Worryfree has rt tickets for $219 3 hr non stop!

Now I am hating on you for this...damn! I wish...*sigh* I can't get Jill Scott's song out of my head now. Thanks ma'am.

Luciano - Update

Awful thing...prayers needed.

From The Observer:

Red Hills shootout: 3 police injured, 'most wanted' gunman killed

Corey Robinson, Observer staff reporter

Posted: 3/25/2009 8:24:25 AM

THREE policemen have been shot and injured, one seriously, and a gunman from the 'most wanted' list killed in a shootout at a house on Westminster Crescent off Red Hills Road, St Andrew this morning.

Acting on intelligence, police had surrounded the house at 5:30 am, which they said was owned by entertainer Luciano, when the shooting started.

Police said that when the gunman saw them he used Luciano's children as a human shield.

A firearm has been recovered and Luciano has been taken to Half-Way-Tree Police Station for questioning.

This is so sad...but this statement brought tears to my eyes. Y'all know how I am about the kids. LOL

Thanks Kimmy! Yes, I agree with what you're saying. I was pleasantly surprised when he told me he got his passport pics (without any prodding on my part) but at times I do think he needs to step it up a bit. And he SHOULD WANT to do it without me having to ride him. He provides wonderful emotional support to me but I need to make it clear that I'm expecting more than that.

Ells it will all work out just fine. Address with your man only those things that make you feel slighted...not opinions or observations from us. If you are the primary breadwinner in the relationship right now so freaking what...as long as your man makes you feel like a queen in EVERY other way...there are no red flags in your relationship and no reason for you to give a disclaimer when you talk about something bothering you.

It is okay to be realistic during this LDR...that you will probably do a little more than you would have to do in a non-LDR just because of their earning potential in Jamaica. If you honestly feel that he can financially pull a little more weight...then by all means insist on it. But, not if you are trying to avoid a "red flag"...or to convince yourself that he is not using you. That is unnecessary stress and worry on your relationship. IMHO $3500 JA is barely enough to buy groceries in Jamaica to substain yourself...so I wouldn't worry so much about him not spending $1000 JA for a new SIM card. I think you are thinking to hard...getting scared and starting to doubt him and your relationship because of all the comments people have about Jamaican LDRs.

You know how to find me if you ever want to talk.

[Ellsinlove 2]

sorry jamerican..

yeah kimmy.. that is why i can't fling stones at immigration.. most of my guy "associates" are AFrican and either they or a friend have overstayed a work visa, visitor visa and trying to marry someone now or married to get here and doing whatever the heck he want to w/ whoever he want to while wifey is either depressed or clueless..SADD SADD SADD..

one of the dudes even asked me to help him find a wife???? like i would really put somebody in that situation.. they really see it as a means of survival CRAZY

Yep! I've seen that here too. A lot of times in the drum & dance community w/a woman bringing her drummer or dancer over from Africa. Well, these guys get a lot of adoration here for what they do and then start feeling themselves. Then the trouble begins...seeing it can really make a woman cautious!

where is philly at ????( looking around)

well not only have i shot FATSMASH To hell today with TACO bell, now im eating a walnut marshmallow fudge caramel drizzled brownie, with a huge cup of coffee, while i chill at Borders and do ppwk just to get out the office from the phones ringing and the crazy people for a minute.

18 ppll on board today, havent seen it this full in a long time...

Lawny far as them booty exercises, thats too much work, mi knoa haf time for all that, im just gonna invest in some booty pads like everyone else...LOL

14 days JA Soon come... beer belly, muffin top and ALL !!!

Honey you are cracking me up today! I think the brownie got to you and you're buzzing on a sugar high!

OMG the padded butt panty is sooo funny. I bought one for me and my mama a few years ago. It has the butty cheeks cut out (like Prince) so when they go through the whole your buttie is so big and beautiful.

Well mine only looks good in jeans and damn if these thighs don't be burning so I told mama only wear it for a date or something that is 2 hours or less. Well she had to be hard-headed and wore it to work. She got so many compliments but keep in mind mama is a size 4 so the thing was squeezing her so bad she had the outline of it in bruises on her body for weeks after. She said she will never where it again and I said so why you keeping it then. lmao..

Wakey, TYPEEOO posted a website called hourglassangel, where you can buy something to give you a coke bottle shape, so i guess i will be on there also....hahahaha

[Ellsinlove 2]

Honey, wait for that brownie to wear off before you take anything!

I know what you mean about having the cravings around that 'time'....I might have to hit up a place to get me a chocolate fix! Peet's Coffee is a block away and they make the most sinful cupcakes!

[Shemmy 4]

Shem, thanks for sending me that diet,,,, as you can see today the diet is shot to hell ... i did good last night though

hopefully tomorrow will be a better day ( )

No problem. Hi everybody. I'm trying to catch up

Wakey - good luck to you and hubby. One of my bellydancing classmates found out she was pregnant last weekend. She and her husband tried for 20+ years. It was so emotional...we cried for hours The class actually did some kind of strange infertility tribal dance around her a few weeks ago....then she popped up pregnant

You know honey must of us have been battling the budge for a minute now.. I was just readding up on how hormone imbalance can affect it. I did a questionaire that says my imbalance may be ovary. Has anyone else had your hormones checked before? I was looking at this site http://www.hormoneworkshop.info/four-body-types.html because I'm having awful night sweats lately.
