To those who plan on getting the shots soon and need to know estimated costs:

Steven went to his doctor today & got the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) and DT (diphtheria and tetanus) shots. They came to $5500 JMD ($63 USD). He goes back late next week for polio, influenza, and hep B. Those are the 5 his doctor told him he needed. He had no vaccines at all before.

I suggested he get the shots in advance of the official medical exam, to make that exam as short as possible since it's in another city.

The price is better at the regular doctor too.

Mi brother used to work for them over in JA.I think he was on an assignment for like six months he helped get them up and running and he told me they are the worse company ever to work for. I too was thinking about moving to JA and I was going to apply for a position there but after talking to him I was like o.k. I'll pass.

I think it has something to do with how they treated the Jamaicans. See they once were up and running over here well they still are in some states but they closed down their customer service operation and moved it to JA you know where they could pay their workers less money. I know it left a sour taste in his mouth where he resigned and he was making a boat load of money at the time. I guess it’s not always about the money and maybe the fact that he has a Jamaican wife but still...lol

Awh..that's special DaDa...you sister in law in jamaican.

Hmmm interesting...thanks for the info. It was just a coincidence that I applied here in the states for a job with them and noticed that they have the place in Mobay... Yes there office is 10 minutes from my house here....gonna be difficult dealing with poor treatment to Jamaicans when I am there ....can't really see myself as biting my tongue. It will be an interesting position to be in though...

Hello all! Just stopping by before I leave for home. We have a dinner date w/ some friends... I've been lucky that he likes my friends... or at least I hope he does and is not just acting cuz he's bored, LOL!! Anyway... I'll check up on yall tomorrow!!

The catalog is here - some cost, but there are many free - you can search by price, low to high, which will list the free first.

http://www.microsoft.com/learning/default.aspx

THank you!! I will let him know so he can have something to do tomorrow, lol.

Hi Mrs Buggy, glad to hear the hubby is settling in - has he started looking for jobs? Seeing what is out there, browsing the paper, might kill some time- or maybe some classes - Microsoft has free online ones -

Well, he's been looking online for jobs. But I will definitely tell him about the online classes... does he just go to microsoft.com??

Hello yardies!

Well, Derron has been here for 2 weeks... and aside from us having fun when I'm not at work.... HE'S BORED!!

He eats, sleeps and watches movie or is on the internet. He is finding it difficult cuz he is used to working. My poor baby... I don't know what else I can tell him to do while I'm at work. I can't wait til his SS comes in so he can look for a job.

On the bright side.. we went on our first road trip to visit our parents. That was alot of fun! He's been driving since he got here but the drive to my folks was 9 hours. So naturally after 3.5 hours, we stopped at his dads house for a night. Then travelled to my parents the next day. He was TIRED!! And on the return, he drove straight the 9 hours. He's still catching up on his rest, lol.

I was going to try and catch up form part 13.... but decided not to. I hope everyone is well.

Hello to the newbies!!

Congrats to all who have had good news!!!

Hey Mrs Buggy, you finally came up for some air. Your hubby is just going through a natural adjustment phase he will be fine when he starts working and making friends. This place is nothing like JA where everybody knows everybody and you can just walk down the road and link up with people playing dominos or football. People in the states tend to stay to themselves, I have been here for years and still dont know my neighbors

LOL... yeah, I did decide that air is needed to survive!

You are right... and I'm sure this will pass. After visiting our parents, who both live in small towns, he is extremely interested in moving to where they are at. That just does not sit well w/ me especially since I know he will make friends and learn the place here soon. But I told him if he still felt the same way by the end of the year... we'll talk about moving. I am praying now that once he starts working and getting around, that he decides that he he likes it here cuz I really, really don't want to move! I guess we'll see.

Girl I feel you on that one, my Boo has not even gotten here yet and he is already talking about FT Lauderdale because he has a job waiting for him there and a lot of his family is there. I am like I have my family here in Orlando and even though I really like FT Lauderdale I am not sure I want to move either.

OKAY! Well... I know prayer works... so that's what I'll be doing.

Alright yardies... I'm off to home now... hubby is waiting for me downstairs. I'll try and make it tomorrow... but for sure on thursday!! Have a great night... and super Hump Day!!!

I feel for you, mr jengs came to boston where my family was a month after coming here and we moved a year later. it is hard for them because they are used to being around family and people they know. I actually liked being a way from my family but realized it was better for the kids, me because of the support I have now with the kids and him because he likes being around family. He hasn't really made friends because he is picky of the people he hangs out with.

Well, I have introduced him to some guy friends... but I'm sure when he starts working things will get better. I am the same way about liking to be away from my family, but I think that has to do w/ cuz I'm an ony child and I'm very independent. But when we start having kids... their help w/ be greatly needed and appreciated!! lol

You guys will be fine. My husband is a very social person and made his own friends. He started college after 2 months here and became very involved in many reggae bands. We found a Jamaican grocery store, cook shop and reggae club. I would say as long as he can find a passion in something he loves to do you will be fine. Take it one step at a time. For us the first year was rough and now life is great after the adjustment period.

Thanks for the encouragement... I really needed that!!

Hey ladies, well i see yall have started up a new thread. i still dont have any net access as of yet, so im getting on whenever and wherever i can. I had a great trip and missed you all.

I think you need the NOA2 for the interview. I could be wrong. But I remember making sure my husband had a copy.

[JAPrincess 27]

Oh sorry....I do have manners..... HI EVERYONE

As much as you love the sea, curry chicken, sunshine and a good Jamaican man, you got to think twice about living there. The recession is taking a toll on the Country and crime is way out of control. Take this advice from me.....stay where you are and just file for your husband. Not everything that glitter is gold. You don't know what you are running into. Ask any honest Jamaican and they will tell you.
