he's been driving me nuts because he SWEARS that he is not going to wear shoes!

:huh: I don't get it. Why doesn't he want to wear shoes?

Good luck with the wedding planning.

Is it a beach wedding?

I've seen many beautiful weddings on the beaches of JA...one couple did not wear shoes...it was simple and romantic. They took pictures of their footsteps in the sand. I like the idea unless it's a traditional wedding. But then again...I'm so non-traditional :whistle:

I've been with them since my last layoff nearly four years ago. That's the nature of the business I guess(banking and finance).

They are not offering anything-no severence-no placement services-NOTHING.

I live about 35 miles south of Springfield. Before I moved last summer-my commute was a little over 30 miles one way- so I'm willing to travel if I have to. I'll keep MA is mind when I start looking. Thanks.

WOW...sorry to hear Michele. I'll keep you in my prayers. Good luck on finding a new job.

wish you luck susanwill :thumbs:

I do not wish to share any information about this dead end journey.........I have reached my final destination on this train, and it is time for me to get off.

THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"If marriage means you fell in love, does divorce mean you climbed out?"

"You never really know a man until you have divorced him."-Zsa Zsa Gabor

"When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife." Deuteronomy 24:1-2

"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us." - Helen Keller

"Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?" - Mary Manin Morrissey

"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much." - Mother Theresa

Wow I missed so much while I was gone.

Dee- my thoughts are with you. You are stronger than you think and will get through this whatever you choose to do. :thumbs:

Eric- Congrads!!!I hope you will be able to sleep during the next 3 weeks. I am rooting for ya! :dance: :dance:

Smiley- So how long were you guys waiting for the visa? That is my next worry. Do you have to pick it up in Kingston? PM me when you get a chance. You have helped me before and now I need some more. Thanks.

My News - I just came home after spending 5 days in Jamaica with my honey. It was better than I could've imagined. It had been five months since we had seen each other - so you could imagine :whistle: . The highlight of the trip was that when I finally got to a computer on Sunday night I found an email from my congresswoman with an attachment from the Jamaican Embassy saying that our interview date was February 27th!!!!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: I am sure that contacting my congressperson helped. Now I can breath a little, atleast until the interview. Soon come.
