Yardies at Home and a Farrin (part18)

[*JG* 2]

Morning all!

Wow one of thes posts just got me heated this morning and I had to say something. Its in the topic with MrsH and Culture. I had to remind her that there is a God! and who are we to judge? Folks that are non-yardies just don't get it

I read the post, and honestly don't see how it got you so heated - the person asked an honest question - it's one I ask myself all the time - If I were to move to JA, what kinda life would we have there v. him moving here? Yes, we would be together - but there are things - such as medical care - that cause me serious pause if I ever thought about moving there permanently -

As long as u can afford ur health care in JA its there..if u do not have to go to a clinic ur good...they have regualr HMOs there BCBS is a big one. It's all about money there...for me to move back now..I would need to have proper health care for my kids and a regular pediatrician...

talkin b out pediatricians..since moving to CT i haven't switch the girls doc..well thought we were gonna have a physical yesterday..got there why there was like 20 dyam ppl sittin there..and i left from work to go..i wouldn't a left til 6pm...mussi mad..i think i'm really thinking of switching them now..i can't deal

on that note ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY PRINCESS # 2 TAHLIA !!!! CAN'T BELIEV UR 1YR OLD ALREADY!! GOD BLESS!!!

Gosh. Seems like she was just born. Time sure flies.

Tia's 2nd Performance:

Tia's 3rd Performance (Including Tia Thursdays segment in Negril):

I loved her 2nd performance I was singing along too

Clyde, one of the Rising Stars judges, wrote an article on the competition after Friday's results:

Expect the Unexpected on Rising Stars

Oh Lawd so dramatic but I know its true LOL

"One thing is for sure Jamaicans really do take this contest very seriously. I cannot put on this page some of the comments which have been directed at the host, contestants and judges including me. People have threatened physical violence because of what they deem to be to be insulting comments which the judges have made about their favourite contestant. What is amusing is that persons who cheer the judges this week are only too willing to call in the lynch mob when a comment which seems inconsistent with expectations is made. My words to these zealots is "grow up".

That's exactly the point - I know it's not the type of thing you want to hear when you are down - but it's a time when you need to hear it, because it's easy to get caught up in the emotion and not think of the hard facts. DJ lay in the hospital for 3 days without the right medication or blood when he had lost 4 litres, cause they didn't have it - and they were talking about doing a colostomy for a freakin ulcer = Not having the funds for private medical care is NO JOKE.

Happy Bday to Tahlia!

Chiney, there's an AWESOME dr in Stamford - Shoreline Medical on Washington Ave, Dr. Nina Inamdar - she emails you back when you email her, always squeezes you in when you need, has a great personality - my cousin started going to her with her kids, and now the whole fam goes -

Andre had one sister die of AIDS and one die of Sickle Cell related complications. He was in the hospital many times over his lifetime. His stories......no, healthcare in JA is no joke.

Thanks Bunz and Kimmy...we worked it out...we had a lot of heartfelt conversations....lots of tears...prayers with a pastor...prayers on our own. God is so good...he is deciding to stay put and listen to his mother that everything is okay in Jamaica. He came to tell me just as I was contemplating telling him that maybe it is best for us to end things. I asked God to touch his heart and make him really be able to see what was going on...God moved...I know for a fact that faith in God can move mountains in a nanosecond.

Hi All! I Missed my dysfunctional VJ Family…Yes, that means you Finesse!

Happy Birthday September Yardies!

Dillon – Check out this website for the Missouri age for latchkey kids http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_lega...one_in_Missouri. We (social workers) generally tell parents it's ok for children 12 and up, of course depending on how mature the child is.

Kimmy – Congrats on the new venture (and finishing school). Let me know if you accept donations of books, computers, etc. towards this effort. I am a member of a group doing the same thing in Ghana for the past 5 years.

JG – My offer still stands with regards to the stalker. I can even wrangle up a tranquilizer gun (generally used for big bears) considering her size

My prayers and concern go out to Mrs. Hamilton and Culture. Stay strong and keep hope alive!

Congratulations to anyone else I missed and Best Wishes to All!

Hahahahahahaha.......you ain't right! Love you, girlie!

Delayed posting of what they did for you. They were not working on a Sunday on a holiday weekend. But, yes, it's a good thing.

What did you buy? Anything fun?

Yup - A new Dolce & Gabbana purse, a Gucci purse, a Gucci Wallet for DJ (Canal St has gone mobile - you now follow the little guy to a mini van with tinted windows, lol!) D&G sunglasses, a watch - a new belt and belt buckle for DJ cause I HATE the one he has so it will be coming home with me, lol!

My co-worker just yelled at me. Said she HATES that (freecreditreport.com) guy! Had to turn on Neil Diamond.

So if I worked with you, those would be my options? Neil Diamond or the freecreditreport song?

No. If I'm cheerful it could be the Offspring or my favorite work music....country. If I'm pissy, it's Barry Manilow very loud.

Ha ha.....no comment.

I almost hate holiday weekends. They seem so busy and go way too fast.

Friday we went dove hunting. It was really much more fun then I thought it would be. Going to try and go before dawn on the 14th again. Maybe I can shoot some more cause I am feeling sort of bad #### now that I shot that gun.

Saturday went to a local restaurant/bar for my friend's birthday. There was a big college football game at our dome so the bar was hopping. Add my crazy loud friends to that mix and it added up to a whole lot of fun. Went gambling on the boats after. I won $400 on roulette....after I had to call my friend and ask how to play. Beginners luck. It was a whole lot of fun. Ended up at our favorite bar later, hanging with those friends.

Sunday my kids and I went to this outlet mall we love. I gave them money for the game room while I hit my favorite stores. The day disingrated from there and I ended up talking through a crisis while we downed 2 bottles of Missouri wine, some beer, and some Amerula. Hate days like that. Seem to have more and more of them.

Yesterday was a washer tournament at my church that we did not win. It was fun though. And my priest is so damn cute it's always worth hanging out after church.

Now, I am sitting here, barely awake and wishing I wasn't here at all. UGH!!!!!

Mastering the Art of French Cooking did come in the mail Friday after I left. I'm really sort of excited. Feel like going home and cooking now.
