Yardies a home and a farrin (Part 21)

[DaDa 1]

Morning All....

Philly you know I instantly thought of you this morning when I saw that Haiti had an earthquake. I'm praying that all your family members are o.k. The pictures were heart breaking. I can’t believe that much destruction was done in 45 seconds. Unbelievable. All those people who lost their homes, children, parents and the list goes on....

Thanks for the good info Irie

That was a good movie Philly thanks sweetie (as the kids would say "No **") lol good nite all

Philly sarry mi wake u dis mawnin, but mi forward the information...the news says that all communication is down, but that's not 100% true, my co-worker is sitting in front of me talking to his mom and his sisters were able to get through to some people in Haiti. I've done so much volunteer work in Haiti and have so many friends there, have yet to hear from some of them...most of the info we're getting is trough facebook or twitter the pictures are horrible (not) what you can show on the news. Had a sleepless night...and Bunz you were not the only one that felt it in Kingston.

I love you Lawny you are a true friend, thanks so much for helping out I am a ball of nerves! I am so happy my Mom was able to get through but I am worried about my cousin Dominique everyone depends on him so much too because of his US ties. I joined 2 groups on FB and asked if they new anyone in our community of Mariani and if they were able to reach anyone. A few people friended me so we are going to rally together and try to reach out together and see what we come up with. The cities you were probably thinking of this morning were Petionville probably Cap Haitien or Carrefour we also have family and friends in Jacmel.

I need to put more credit on the phone now so I can start dialing.

Thanks everyone for your prayers I spoke to Hubby last night and we are definitely going to make the trip later this year and do all we can to assist in the rebuild.

Answered!

What a messed up start this has been to 2010 -

Came back to the news of how sick my co-worker is - Now just found out that someone else I used to work with passed away yesterday am - she was only 41.

Then this am, found out from one of my dear friends that his youngest daughter has been hospitalized for emotional issues - And he is currently in Thailand, and found this out by his Byatch ex wife posting a FB status message asking for prayers for her - How insensitive and brutal can you be? You couldn't call him, text him, email him?

I am sad to call myself a woman when I see shyt like this. And, you, of all people, know I've seen some messed up shyt lately. I'm all for sisterhood and all; but some women just piss me off to no end. Games.....so many games! And all so unnecessary.

[1luv 1]

THe stories I could tell you about this one would curl your toes - Now, my friend has his own issues - But he is the sweetest, most faithful man I have ever known, and LOVES his kids with all his heart - that she could do that makes me want to fly to where she is and kick her rass

Family please say a prayer for my people there was a 7.0 earthquake in Haiti and its devastating at the magnitude. I cant get through to anyone on the phone and my family is in Port au Prince. I am a nervous wreck right now and lighting candles and staying in prayer I am seriously a ball of nerves right now.

My husband is Rasta. I can tell you that "The Rastafarians" by Leornard Barrett is a good book. It is a non bias book on the history of the religion.

Also, "Rastafari: For the Healing of the Nations" is a good one as well.

The Rastafarian Wiki page gives quite a bit of info as well.

I can say I read the Barrett book many years ago just because I was interested and found it very good. It was not a boring read.

That's good info Irie was studying previously as well and found a wealth of info on the internet and we have the book "The Rastafarians" by Leornard Barrett

Thanks for the good info Irie

That was a good movie Philly thanks sweetie (as the kids would say "No **") lol good nite all

LOL you so silly that movie was different right, I will post another today this one will be about revenge and despair with your girl Beyonce!

Hey Ladies and Eric! My thoughts and prayers are with Philly, her family and friends and all those in Haiti who are going through this awful experience. Philly- I hope you have been able to get through and find something out, not knowing is the worst.

I'm anxiously awaiting to hear Den's good news tomorrow. I don't know "Rasta and Sam" ( I think that is the name), but I think their interview is tomorrow too and I hope the best for them as well. Then the next day is JaP's day she has been waiting forever on. Postive vibes to all of you ladies.

I just looked up our case looking to see if we got an RFE for the medical like everyone else who filed in Dec., well it atleast seems that way. I was pleasantly surprised to see our case was transferred to Cali!! I'm excited we don't have to go to another interview (for now). I asked in Nat's Dec. filers forum, but wanted to ask here too. Does this mean we are past the point where they would ask for another medical? Any other info on being transferred to Cali? I know Dillon was and she got approved fast.

We're doing good and I can't believe it's already been 2 months. Ever since Dada brought up Ells being an only child and how that might affect adjusting to married life, being an only child myself I find myself analyzing that. So far I find that I love always having a playmate and I don't mean that sexually. I just love always having someone to "play" with for a lack of a better term. When I was young I had friends that would play with me, but they always had to go home. I love that V never has to go home and come back anther day to play. Secondly, for the first time I'm having to participate in joint decisions. I find myself saying "oh no what if V doesn't want to go here and I do". Luckily he's very laid back and down for most anything. I'm just used to doing what I want, when and not having to discuss it with anyone. Maybe this is a transition for everyone who goes from single to married. I just thought that maybe people with siblings are more used to having to come to a joint decision (compromise). Maybe I'm reading into the affects of being an only child and adjusting to married life too much, but I just found it interesting when Dada brought it up. OK enough babbling and really I'm not even drinking tonight...honest.

Thanks Brooke for your prayers (((hugs)))

Yes Marriage is all about compromise and I think I am in the same boat with you about making decisions independently and now needed to include your mate. The transition and adjustment is not perfect and its a work in progress trust me but communication is the key, always talk it out and everything will be Cris! We are here when you want to chat and we have your back cause we are all making this journey together!
