Yardies at Home and a Farrin (part 19)

[finesse 3]

hubby and i were just talking last night about all the people that he/we know that have left jamaica in recent months..i think he knows 10 people that have left in the last 4-5 months...compared to the 2 or 3 he knew for the 2+ years before that

anyone else seen the same?

Joel got his CG, within 3 weeks time. Since he already had a SS from his previous work stay here in 2007. This did make getting everything within this week time easier. We got GC, State ID, Bank Acct and Credit Card, cell phone account all within this time period. We are waiting on Driver Lic, he will have to take a 3 week, class, so no need to rush.

Now we have job applications out, just waiting for a call back.

that's great!

how hard is it to get a cell phone plan?

Sprint has a plan with a credit limit associated with it, so when he goes over 350.00 they shut his phone off, until he pays them to no be over the 350.00 credit limit. This helps with the JA calls....

That's great Roxie. Damien had no problems getting a credit card with Bank of America...never had to add him to mine. And no problems with Sprint either.

How are you feeling today?

where the hell were you all yesterday?

LOL @ that smiley.

I'm today. Not only is Steven cooking for the third day in a row, but my supervisor just informed me that starting in October, I'm getting a raise!

Also in good news, Steven has connected with many of his family members (including his sister in New York) and friends. He is ALWAYS in a good mood after talking to people in the Yard.

On another note, this is HARD.

Food's done. Gotta go!

Huh?? How you going to say this is hard and then leave us hanging.. What's hard??

Whoo hoo Congrats on the raise part !!!

Only as hard as you allow it to be, but you do need LOTTTTTS of patient.

AMERICAN PHONE COMPANY BLOCKS JAMAICAN CALLS? - Customers claim lottery scam is the cause

The notorious lottery scam out of Montego Bay, St James, may have forced at least one major American telecommunications company to bar calls to Jamaica, THE STAR has learnt.

A resident of Long Beach in California, USA, on Friday said she recently made the discovery after she tried to call the island. She immediately contacted the phone company.

"I was calling from my house phone because I have (the phone company's) long-distance package and it just wouldn't go through," she said. The customer said she was puzzled none of the calls would go through as just days before she used the service without glitches. "So I called (the phone company) and asked what was happening and they told me they had a problem with Jamaica. They say Jamaicans were calling people and scamming tens of thousands of dollars from them, so they cut off my long distance."

Sus; it's about DAMN rass time they published something...THE STAR just learnt...(whatevah)...this has been going for at least 4 years or more.

Afternoon Ladies....

Well Finesse, I have been feeling violated lately. This damn raccoon has been coming on my balcony and biting my trash can top trying to get to my trash. Once night I kept hearing this noise and though it was my neighbor moving his trash can. After an hour of the same noise, I run down stairs and pull back the curtains to find a Pitbull sized raccoon sitting on top of my trash can looking me dead in my eyes. I hurry up and closed the curtains and ran screaming. That thing gave me the creeps. Ray scared it away, but now that Ray works at night I still hear it.

Last night I heard the noise again, so I threw a glass of water through my screen bedroom window with hopes of frightning it. Now, I have to pay $40 to buy another trash can because I can't buy just a trash can top. Damn wild animals. Why don't they go find a dumpster somewhere? I'm scared. My uncle said to mix some antifreeze and sugar and leave it out there for them to drink it, so I asked what will that do. He said it will blow up their stomach. So I guess I'll end up having to remove a dead raccoon. Yuk!

Roxcie, did you add him to one of your credit cards?

NO, Bank of America will give 1st time Credit Card holders a small credir. His bank acct is with Bank of America, becuse they have an association with the Scora sp Bank in JA.

Good, because Ray has an account their already. I'll have him apply. Thanks for the information.

I used to have that plan and with callin JA I used to hit the credit limit all the time. This was before I learned about Ringyard. Whoo Sprint made so much money off of me I'm sure I paid alot of peoples salaries.

Hi Dillon!

We had a good weekend. My friend called and asked if Tierra could spend the night saturday (our daughters are BFFS) so Louis and I went out. I ran into a French girl I went to college with. She had a friend who started chatting with Louis about football. I love it when Louis makes friends. So this guy (HOT!!) had this nice accent... asked where he was from. His "mum" was fast he said.... he was 1/2 english 1/2 Mauritous (spelling??) ... he has a sister that is 1/2 Jamaican and a sister that is 1/2 Lucian! LOL... said she had a preference for the darker persuation!!

I love running into fun adults while out ... and not just foolish youngins'!

How was your weekend... how are the kids getting along?

awww... don't blow up the creature

Protect your trash.

An important aspect of raccoon control is keeping them out of the garbage cans. There's no reason for them to leave if you constantly, but inadvertently, feed them. For starters, get yourself some good, solid metal trashcans, some bungee chords, and a cinder block or two. It's kind of a pain in the backside, but you will need to cover your garbage, bungee the lid down, and place cinder blocks on top of it every night. Even if you use a city-provided garbage bin, you can still use the bungees and blocks. Even though I'm opposed to the wasteful nature of this idea, it is quite common for people to double bag any waste meat products so the alluring smell won't be as strong.

Play him some music

Raccoons may live around humans, but they do not like humans. The sound of a human voice is known to drive away raccoons. Place a radio, set to a talk radio station, in the vicinity of their nest. It doesn't have to be loud, start with a low volume level. If it doesn't get results, try increasing the volume. Leave the radio on day and night.
