Looking for some place different to explore in Jamaica....my cousin is getting married there next month...when we visited there last year it took my breath away -- check it out. We were all over the island for 3 days, when we got here she was speechless.

I need a little help. Some of you ladies are so good with words....

A man I know and work with on occasion has lost his mother. He is Italian, and in Italy, so not someone I see all the time but such a nice man I would like to send him a little note...

Give me some nice words to say.... Luigi is at least 60 so I am sure his mother was quite old.

Cat, this is my favorite poem:

Don't Grieve For Me For Now I'm Free

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free

I'm following the path God laid for me.

I took His hand when I heard Him call;

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,

To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way;

I found that place at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void,

Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss;

Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I savored much;

Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seems all to brief;

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and share with me,

God wanted me now, He set me free.

This is so sad, but very appropriate

I asked Louis his thoughts on the born in America... AMerican thing. He said our child will be St Lucian/American. Both... they don't have to be born on SLU to be a Lucian.

My husband feels the same way...he doesn't think you have to be born in JA to be a true yardie...its funny cause him and my best friend (also his cousin) always argue back and forth about that...both her parents are born JA and she was born in America...and she always says she is not a jamaican she is pure american...but he would say as long as either your ma or pa jamaican you a jamaican....same thing with me...if someone ask him were i'm from he would say I'm haitian before I'm an american because both my parents were born in haiti even though i was born here...

There is so much I want to respond to...I get tired of quoting everyone...but then I come to post and can't remember who or what I wanted to respond to. My memory used to be so good. This is crazy. I hope y'all don't mind me and all my Ells quotes.

dont feel bad jawi.. i can't do that either. if i do try to wait and respond..i HAVE to write down notes LOL

Quana, Jawi, if I have a lot of catching up to do, I keep VJ in part of the screen and notepad in the other & comment that way. It can look cleaner than quoting a zillion people.

Quana, my other cousin is getting married in St. Thomas which is on the other side of the island, that location is also breath taking, but they don't advertise and have been in business for over 50 years - they guarantee that she'll not be dissapointed nor will her guest.

Hey Nat if you see Tia next week when you are down make sure you tell her we are all routing for her.
