i can't speak yet, i'm still in jamaica

but i know of a lot of ppl who left jamaica as professionals

and pretty much had to start at the bottom in the states because generally, work experience from certain other countries is not always well respected

so alot of ppl i know go there and start over as housekeepers, bus drivers, store clerks, etc.

about the money part, very few ppl i know have gone there and not made the kind of money they imagined they could make

i suppose everybody always feels they could make more money but most ppl who have left have been FAAAAR better off within a year of being over there

To follow up on that Bunz, do you ever hear people say they regret the decision of leaving Jamaica even though they had to start at the bottom again?

i do hear that sometimes but it is very very very rare

i know a few ppl who didn't want to start from the bottom and because they couldn;t get the job they wanted they came back here

but most ppl i know who have left have made the best of their situation and have been better off because of it

i suppose part of it is alot of them do not see coming back to jamaica as an option so they make it work for them in the us

This is NOT by choice...trust me. I usually go about 3 times a year (mainly due to kids and vacation time)...and I say for two weeks at the minimum. I can't do the short trips...they just don't work for me.

My addiction started in 2000. The good thing is that I can finally see myself traveling somewhere different now.

Got it! Where do you buy nut flour? I've never heard of such a thing.

I get it at Central Market, which is very similar to Whole Foods. But really, it's just finely crushed nuts. You can make it with a coffee grinder.

Well, I got my grades - A- from the teacher I hated (don't know how) and a B+ in my other class!!

Yay! Good job, Sus!

I think so - I was up at 5 am this morning baking banana bread and throwing brownstew pork into the crock pot. I just talked to him a little while ago and he sounds like a ball of emotions - excited, nervous and sad. He said his family just keeps staring at him trying to take one last look at him for awhile.

SUCH a big day for you!!! I wish you the best!

What kind of mp3 player? What will be your first music add? I'm nosey!

Turns out the found package wasn't the mp3 player. I think that one is completely gone. I'm not too mad; it was a Sansa Clip 1 gb mp3 player that I got online for $14.99. I was gonna give it as a gift in Jamaica. But, since it didn't come, oh well. I still have my own iPod.

DADA!!!! Thanks for the Maxwell info! I found the song...I never listen to the radio so I would have never known! I LOOOOOVVEEE it. It is called Pretty Wings!

Why am I yelling??? LOL

I'mma have to get this song. I love his voice.

Happy Belated Mother's Day to all my yardie women. I spent the ENTIRE weekend in the bed...this damn neck pain. The doctor gave me a new nerve pill that has me very dizzy and off balance. However, it really does help with the pain. Well, I took it early (supposed to only take at night right before bed because of the dizziness and off kilter feeling)...and I got up to get water and some fruit...I was bumping into furniture and walls. I went to sit on the toilet much later...and instead sat on the canister that holds extra toilet paper. Can you say OOOOUUUCCCHHH!!! Good thing I didn't just plop down or it could have been way worse.

Dang Jawi easy gyal... That medicine must have you really messed up. Now will the side effects get better over time once your system gets used to it all? I hope the medicine does work. I hate when you take something and it has no effect and the doc says ," Well are you taking your meds??" Umm no what for...

Your incident about sitting on the toliet paper holder is as bad as sitting down when the toilet seat is up. I finally got my ex to start putting the toilet sit down when I told him if I fall in the toilet one more time in the middle of the night I swear I'm going to sit mi wet rass on em pillow. After dat me had no more splashes...

I have a question, no sure if anyone can answer...

If you're fiance is in another country can they go through the US embassy in that country for their interview?

We talked about this last week. I don't know the answer...so A is headed back to Jamaica in about two weeks. I am actually a little worried now because my DS-230 beat my paper file to the Embassy. They have the electronic file but the paper file is not registered yet. The DS-230 got signed for yesterday @ the Embassy. I pray that I don't have to mail a 2nd copy (and pay another $40.00 US).

Do you think it will be okay since they do have the electronic file?

I'm gonna say yes cuz we don't want any bad thoughts about it --- but honestly, you just never know.

Where is the praying smilie??? I didn't think I jumped the gun @ first...now I think I should have waited until say this week to send it. I honestly didn't think DHL would deliver so fast. It should have just gotten there today. Oh well...what is to be...will be.

Hey Mich!!! ***mmmuuuaaahh***

Dills I am going to try and make it. Can I bring a friend with me...so she can drive for me?

You can bring whoever you want. Just make sure when you RSVP you put the number of people in.

Yes. If they are permanently living there for a stretch of time. But, you have to say it when you file.

PM.....oh, #######.....the gal with LOUIS. He came through like that.

I can't remember her name, but her fiance was Dominican and he worked in Jamaica. He had his interview at the US embassy there....cho it will come to me. He wasn't a resident in Jamaica, so I don't know how he was able to do that.

You are right. I just can't think of who it is either.
