Yardies at Home and a Farrin (part14)

[J2A♥oasis 2]

J2A-Did your SO need any transcripts or HS Diploma?? And my car is standard... I hate it, but he loves it! Also, I would love to SS cards... I'd treat the 2nd one like GOLD knowing what I know now.

Hopefully they won't change the rules by the times he gets here but so far, no. Some of the Community Colleges in our area say that once you reach a certain age you do not really need transcripts or a HS Diploma for the Adult Learning degree programs, you just have to complete the application along with a personal statement and include your non-refundable fee. For General Studies they also have Special Admissions where if you do not have a HS Diploma or equivalent, you can take the basic entrance exams (Math and Reading) to test out of the remedial courses or take their prep courses (for which you don’t receive credit.) If you successfully complete either of these, they’ll give you the status so you can matriculate towards your degree without it. For this you have to schedule an interview, complete a non-graduate petition, and submit an application along with the non-refundable fee.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! HOPE EVERYONE HAS GOOD DAY

[JaEnglishGirl 34]

I read the comments about the 'dangers' of social networks etc. Not discounting anyone's experience, but are you going to let your man out alone???

Will he go to a club??

Go to work??

Believe it or not, 100s and 1000s of people hook up at work and at the mall!!

When I first moved to London from Jamaica, the loneliness was awful. Didn't have any friends and had just my grandparents around me. And they ate different food, had a totally different culture. Yes, they tried to make adjustments but it wasn't enough.

Then I started using sites like Jamaicans.com, jamaica-netlink.com etc.

Was I there to meet someone?? Hell no!!

At that time, I was actually in a long distance relationship with my ex in Jamaica, so my aim was to just to talk to fellow Jamaicans.

Now, I am not saying lock your men in a room with 70 naked virgins, I am saying let the man go talk to FELLOW Jamaicans, people who may be going through the same thing as him.

YES, he may meet women, but hell every time he walks out of the house he will meet women!!

And wedding ring or not, they'll throw themselves at just for the accent alone!

Do any of you women use Facebook? Or Hi5??

I'm sure you do. Do you go on there and hook up with men behind your SO's back??? I'm sure you don't so why should he??

Treat your man like a dog, and he will become one.

Don't trust your man, and he will become untrustworthy.

In Mr Buggy's defense, I can say I have 4 GOOD males friends that I've known since I was 11 -15. And when I was in England on my own, they called me day and night. When times were rough they called me day and night.

When I moved here and sat home for a year, they called me day and night. And I thank God for my husband, because he never had a problem with it. Yes, a few of my female friends called too, but my best male friend lives in NY, and he'd call me really often because he sits at work doing nothing. Never ever EVER would I cheat on my husband, and he knows that.

Before you decide to take a man as your husband and spend the rest of your life with him, you have to KNOW he'll honor and respect you.

A cheater will always cheat. A decent man will not cheat, he'll leave.

If your man goes online and in the space of a few months goes and hooks up with someone, he was always a cheater - you just didn't know it.

And if it wasn't online, it would be somewhere else.

good morning, kids are sleeping so I have a little time.

so jaenglish - are you saying a decent man will cheat then leave?

[BunzTheMagicSnail 2]

@ JAEnglish you raise some very valid points. It's about your intention when you use these social networking sites and yes if one's intention is to hookup they're gonna do it regardless of the medium used in most cases. but it's not always as black and white as that. in any case it's not practical to try to control your spouse's actions and in doing so you may create the very problem you're trying to avoid (treat him like a dog and he'll act like one). I do agree with that.

Hey ladies this is derron mrsbuggy's hubby and i just wanna have alittle input on how yall ladies think.

First, let me clear myself, i only have 2 female friends calling and my son's mother calling and even so she have spoken with 1 of them (not all d time) and i never remove myself from her presence during a call unless i must.

Now for d big topic alllll of u ladies need 2 b careful of how u apply the experiences of other relationships to urs. Ex: whenever my wife n i talk on d phone she use to always bug me of the things that she read on here, everyday she would have something to tell me and then she would compare me to it n sometimes it would develope an argument between us and i used to tell her she needs to get off that site cauz it's gonna cost us our relationship, luckly it didn't.

*Did she tell u guys that i'm an electrician by trade so it's always wise to save power.*

As for my adjustment i kno it is a phase i have to go through but it is boring as hell n 2 make it worst i do not have any friends or family nearby, my best part of the days are when she's home and i have someone to talk to and play with. ther is no perfect relationship, she has OCS n that's something i'm willing to deal with but we r working on it Lol.

be careful ladies and best wishes from Mr. buggy

Nice to hear from you Mr. Buggy. I agree with you about applying relationships on here to your own. Good luck to you both.

[TRELAWNY PARISH 10]

Hello everyone.

JAPrincess - congrats

Bunzarelli - congrats on your NOA1

MrsBuggy - your husband's adjustment sounds like mine except the food. We had no problems in that area. I'm an only child too. And I've been a single mother for years before I met Damien so it's still a struggle for me. So used to running the show...it's hard. The money issue is funny cuz Damien is the same way but that's great in my book. The things you are experiencing are pretty common. Good luck to you. We are here for you.

Thanks Shemmy! I pray that the "adjustment" period last only a short time. I'm sure things will get better once he gets his SS card and starts working... from there he can start "networking" LOL

Tek time... Mrs. B' like I've told others, you hubby will find his way, my husband had a lot to deal with when he first got here (PM) me if you want to chat...before he got here we talked about what he liked to do and took it from there. I put some things in place before he got here and he just took it from there. If I had learned to safe money the way my husband does years ago I would be very rich by now. My husbands always says to learn what your needs/wants are...he said that's how he survived in Jamaica and he had it rough, but he did want he had to to make ends meet "juggle"....

[LIFE'SJOURNEY 970]

Good morniong Trelwany and 1luv...

I will refrain from responding to any of the comments about on-line networking. If that's your thing then do it.

Do I compare my husband to others no... do I talk to him about what others say about Jamaican men... HELL no.... Do I respect and trust my husband HELL YES.....

AS for him being bored when he gets here, we will wait and see. Would I be bored if I moved to a new country and didn't know anyone...yes.... so I will look at his situation the same way.

[*JG* 2]

JaEnglish, I wouldn't let him loose onto message boards just yet, that is how many of them meet more female friends. If he has a constant string of them calling him from Jamaica, what will stop him getting more in the USA.

If he is interested in other women, there is nothing on God's green earth that will stop him....no point in 'holding' him back for that reason...

Thanks, JAE. That was sort of my point.

I don't have a problem with the likes of FB, Twitter, MySpace, Hi5. It's all about intentions. Just cause someone is on there, doesn not mean those are the intentions. I love to play on FB.

The women on the site.....the experiences of the women on this site....usually have a lot in common. Yes, you shouldn't nitpick your relationship because of another; but there is much to learn from all the experiences discussed on here.
