Quana, you don't know how many times I have heard this sense I have started locking my hair. Some people are like, "You're locking your hair because you are married to a Jamaican or because he wants you to because he is a Jamaican!" I'm like #######? NOOOO! First of all ediats, when I first went natural this was my intent all along, I would just get scared when it was time to start and punk out! Second azzwipes, a lot of Jamaicans don't wear their hair in locks. It is typically still associated with Rastafarianism, and NO my husband is not a Rasta, and NO he does not have locks (and has no interest in growing them!) It's crazy that alot of folks still believe that Jamaicans=locks! Can you tell that I get pissed off @ ridiculousness!

I think that's because when most people think Jamaica they think Bob Marley. That's all they know about it.

yup..and when most of the water dries out..turn the fire down realllll lowww...and let it steam

[sus 70]

Me too. Boil in da bag all the way. Damien went to the store Sunday and last night looking for his favorite brown rice in a bag. They sold out so he bought home regular rice in the box... I said what am I doing to do with this

Seriously, that's what Damien gets for not cooking more often

Shem, the boil in da bag are the best - and the brown rice ones are really good.

Mrs. P;

let me tell you, every single date that I've every had with an American man, no matter their background the converstations was about "GANGA"...I'm like look, not all Jamaicans smoke weed, I don't, then the conversation goes down hill from there.

Lawny, you wouldn't believe how many people I get that from when they find out I am travelling to Jamaica, or how many times I have been there - that is the first assumption - Sorry, I don't smoke it!

[TRELAWNY PARISH 10]

sus; no smoking for me, but arrrrr the tea, well, that's different, right B)

[dancehallquana 5]

Hey Quanna;

Well, this is what they tell me,

You don't look like a Jamaican (and I reply) what does a Jamaican look like.

So Steven has been trying to get his passport for quite a while now. When he first submitted everything, he checked back every few days. After a couple of weeks, they told him the pictures wouldn't work because the background wasn't white enough. He paid for more pictures & submitted everything again. Two weeks went by (with him checking every few days). Today, they told him that the pictures still won't work!

Steven is VERY frustrated. To me, the next steps are simple: Go back & ask them what was wrong with the last pictures. Go to the picture place & retake some. Go back and ask them ON THE SPOT if those pictures will do, instead of having to wait for weeks. But he doesn't even want to talk about it right now.

This is frustrating because we can't fill out the DS156 or get the police record without the passport.

Quanna;

I like to plat my hair when it's wet and let it dry then let it loose, and I'm DONE, so fine and so fly and I don't give one rass who no like eeh. Some times my hair does what it wants to and people think I style it like that, like right now, I wish I could take a picture, I'm having problems with STATIC ELECTRICITY and it's a scary sight.

Nat, he don't need the DS-156 yet. Where is he taking the passport pictures and where is he applying for the passport? Can he take the pictures at the passport office? Is he in Sav, send a PM to Gooden and ask her where her SO took his pictures.

its bad enough they associate it w/ JA, but why would they try and discuss it w/ u being a "lady" on a date??

i guess i am just an old southerner.. some issues men have gotten too comfortable to talk about to women on the first dates.. I ain't yo homeboy.. COME CORRECT!
