[phillyfashionista 8]

Philly, I sent you a PM....

Roxcie mi get ie but my box was full so I archived and girl it did yours too but not before I read it I hope to see you in JA next month

Philly you need to go to JA.. there is not much you can do right now but wait. I just made a donation to the Red Cross and it felt good. I wish I could physically go and help... I don't even want to keep talking about it because your mind needs to be eased right now...

Morning/Afternoon Yardies!

Hey Philly; just got back from a prayer vigil in DC and it was heart breaking to hear names...I wanted to pass out the lady that organized the prayer lost her entire (immediate) family...she told her story of how she came to the states illegally and all the horrible things that took place before she got her...I pushed through the crowd to hug her. I asked her what I can do and she said a hug is where we can all start--

Philly have u heard from your cousin yet?

This is sooo sad! I'm glad you hugged her Lawny!

Ells, congratulations on the A's! :star: I'm jealous of you getting to see Ovo. That's the kind of thing I'd want to go to, but then wouldn't want to come off the $$.

I just finished enrolling Steven in a couple of classes starting in February. I'm excited!!!

Thanks, Nat!

Fortunately, the Ovo tix were discounted from $100 each to about $59 through this web site called Goldstar. We don't know what seats we'll have until the night of the show but you pick what section you want & get discounts accordingly. Goldstar is in some major metro areas (Boston, Chicago, DC Metro, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, Orange County, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle - if any yardies are interested & sign up, you can give me credit by going here: https://www.goldstar.com/join?p=F471577RP) but doesn't look like it's established in TX yet....maybe one day! If it wasn't for the discount, we probably wouldn't be going.

Yay for Steven! School will be good for him....not only for the boredom but for advancing his career options!

LOL @ the donkey now thats pet! Ells I remember your kitty I know you miss him?

Yes, I DO miss the kitty! I was wondering the other day if he'll remember us by the time we get back there. I don't know if animals have some kind of memory but it would be pretty cool if he did. I am happy to know that the neighbors like him cause he helps keep the rats away (& he's friendly) & a couple different neighbor ladies give him scraps.

Well today was our big day and we were approved! Excited doesn't even begin to describe the feeling!! Everything went very smooth. 7:30 appointment, went thru the document check-in by 7:45 and were out the door by 8:15!

Asked my hubby when & how we met, when we were married, if he'd met any of my family. Asked me if I'd met any of his and if they were at the wedding. Asked me how often I come, looked at my passport, and we were done!

Hope all that had interviews today (and upcoming) have similar experiences. My thanks to all for helping us get to this point!

CONGRATS SAM & RASTA!

Nite Ladies Hubby said come to bed and stop stressing

Enjoy My2! That'll be nice for you & mister to have some 'special' time together!

Morning all!

Just got to work and got pissed off the second I walked in the door - Not a good start to the day!

Me too....it started from leaving home this morning though. I'm alright now at least.

Good morning everyone ... today is turning out to be sad ..with all the bad new in Haiti got me sad . then i return home form taking my daughter form school i come to my street full of cop and ambulances and i find out one of the boys was hit by a car getting on the bus .. i am praying for the young boy and his family...

I second that jap and mexilus

Awww....I hope the boy is going to be okay. I'm a semi-speedy driver but around busses, school zones & even kids playing outside, I take it WAY down. I'm always on the lookout for a kid darting into the road or something....that driver sounds really careless...hopefully for the last time because they'll dyam sure be feeling guilty after that.

Princess posted on FB that interview has been delayed till Feb now. I know this has to be so hard for them both cause I know A wants to come see his new baby girl.

Who is mexilus??

[Ellsinlove 2]

I finished reading Eat, Pray, Love.. it is such an inspiring book. Part of the book talks about how negative people make everyone around them negative. Oh that is so true. I wish the people around me were more positive, empathetic, grateful and able to forgive...

I loved that book! She has a new one coming out about her married life now. That might be interesting.

Who watched Idol last night? I wet my pants laughing at this guy - best audition ever, God Bless him!

Am-Y5DVjZIA

TOTAL. INSTANT. HIT!!

Mawning Jamerican, K Jenkins, and Lady C thanks so much for your concern continue to pray I am trying to stay positive.

I am so distressed I still can't get in touch with anyone, my Mothers phone rang last night @ 1:00 am from an unknown # but she didn't reach in time. We are praying that it is a family member trying to reach us so there is hope. Thanks everyone for your prayers

Oh Philly, I wish I could give you a big ol' reassuring hug in person!

3 DAY WEEKEND!!!!!!!

YEAH BABY!

aww I just heard Teddy Pendergrass died

RIP Teddy! I heard last night on the news....not the happiest week so far!

People like to play pass the buck and not do their own work - Long story short, small claims litigation that is NOT mine, yet somehow keeps landing back on my desk - again this morning!

I had that happen this morning too! Another office tech is trying to make it seem like I didn't complete some training docs for a couple EEs & I forwarded those to her office a LONG time ago! Of course, she can't locate them so obviously it's someone else's fault & not hers! And then she has the nerve to e-mail me to ask about them again AND to CC 5 other people....#######??

[*JG* 2]

Ladies, everyone have a good night. I will see you all tomorrow.

I have searching for college scholarships and grants all day and arguing with my high school senior via text all morning about essays and filling out papers. My head is killing me now. Can't continue this into the afternoon so I am getting rid of all the information overload. Logging off................

Later

[NatPatBen 3]

Any word from JaPrincess?

Oh my God You did not really do this did you Irie????

UrbanDictionary is a help a lot of times, especially as we get older & lose our connections with high school kids.

[Ellsinlove 2]

When I was kid, after parents got divorced my mom's boyfriend was this young guy (total a$$hole unfortunetly) that listen to all the old school "black" music.

I loved Teddy, the Chi LItes, Marvin Gaye... Marvin is one of my faves to this day!! I even had the Sugar Hill Gang Album... man I loved the cover for sone reason.... I can still picture it. It had a tube of toothpaste (among other things) on it! hahahah!

I have always loved different kinds of music. My dad likes reggae, my mom OOOLLLLLDDD country. I was a deadhead for a while out of college .. traveled around with friends. If it makes me feel good... I like it.

Me too! We are white girls with SOUL inside! Sometimes Lehi likes to joke that I don't belong to my father cause I can't possibly be all white!

Freaking DOS and Kingston Embassy is about to send me to the looney bin!!

My so still hasn't recieved packet 3, eventhough I was told it was sent out December 21. So I called back, just to have them tell me packet 3 was sent out January 11th. I then emailed kingston to ask if my so can either pick up packet 4 or if they can email it to me, they instead send me the links for the ds forms which I already filled out! I feel like pulling my darn hair out.

On top of that, my mom goes for surgery today on her ankle and I'm so worried about her because she CAN'T use the crutches and keeps walking on both feet, which can't happen after the surgery. So I'm gonna drink some guiness and red bull to help her up the stairs when she comes home this evening.

Someone please reassure me that relief is on it's way....

Don't stress KJ! In my estimation, packet 3 RARELY arrives. Most people just have to DL the forms & all that like you've already done. The main thing like others have said is just get that DS-230 into them (but you have cause you already have your date, yes?). Ask the embassy to e-mail you packet 4 (the interview letter) & forward it to him (or bring with you if you're going) so it can be printed out & brought with.

Them cats nyam too much! African stor, is a likkle thing and pushes Hancock the Dagger Master who is a Bigun LOL and takes all his food. So I know exactly what you mean, don't let there be a fish head she will box the food from you

She sounds like a facety likkle ting! And every time you write 'dagger master' it makes me crack up!

Take it easy JG! Good luck with the decompression this afternoon!

Nat, JaP's interview date got postponed till Feb now. We don't know why but she posted on FB. I bet she's feeling real blue right now & logged off of everything today.

They usually remember people that are good to them

[kjenkins86 5]

MrsTee: oh really? Well, while I'm textin someone in here to post my good news, I'll also say happy b-day to your son!

Always Blessed: that's what I asked of them to do, forward packet 4 to me but they're acting clueless. I'll try a week later if he doesn't get it.

JG: sorry I forgot who made the statement but posting on my phone takes ages to go back & forth.

Philly: find something time consuming to do to ease your mind a little.

My kids are my urbandictionary.. they are as ghetto as they come! They even make up there own sayings. Like my daughter knows she can't curse (doesn't me she doesn't behind my back) so now she says "chew these cheeks" lol

I think the cat will have to remember me then because I'm the first one to cuddle him AND of course, I'm the FOOD LADY!
