Good evening, I saw this on another thread, they were talking about wireing money to family overseas and one person said they used this site:

https://www.xoom.com/

I checked it out and it seems cheaper them Western Union and Money Gram, especially if you need to send a large amount of money

Good morning all,

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Aneways, I was checking for a better calling service to Jamaica and I came across vonage ( well I have know about it for a while. Aneways they said that vonage can be used in Jamaica with unlimited calling to the US for $40 a month, I requested more info so hopefully I will have a response soon, But for all of us who still have our better half in Jamaica doesn't that sound wonderful.

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

Hi Everyone!!

Happy Spring! (F) I hope everyone is doing well. Congratulations to all who have made advances in their cases and reached a milestone of any sort.

I stopped by to say hello and post some good news.

My mom is doing much better and hanging in there. There are no new meds so they put her back on the old meds...but even without the meds the attacks have been few and far in between - so we praise God for healing and respite. I was sick too and I am doing so much better now.

My dear Henry is JA as we speak!!! I am so jealous!!! :P He got a job!!!!!! And he starts in first week of May so he went to JA for a week to see his parents since a vacation is unlikely before year end once he starts work. He is psyched about his job even though the haters in his family have mocked him a lot (he is a cleaner at a major teaching hospital) - but the benefits are out of this world...I am seriously giving up mine and going on his plan....they get vision and tuition reimbursement and what not. Despite the mocking, we are very grateful to God as it is a start.

Also, he got his driver's license, so we are hunting for a used Pathfinder or Forester. And we are considering moving to Queens (who on Yardie thread is in Queens???) or Long Island. Not sure yet.

On a dingbat note, the eediot immigration officer in Kingston tore Henry's I-94 out of his passport and tossed it...Henry did not notice until he left Kingston. Needless to say he woke me up this morning in a panic. I have fedexed him the color copies I made and we trust he wont have any drama at JFK.

Hey, who is keeping the baby making list - we have decided that we are going to go for it!!! :o:whistle: As of today, I am one day late - but that is nothing. So keep me in your prayers.

OK off to catch up on 67 million pages! :blink:

Just wanted to let you yardies know , Chris and Chris Jr's AOS got approved today at CSC with NO INTERVIEW !!

That's just awesome -- Congratulations!! If you don't mind me asking -- how did this happen without an interview? I'm sooooo jealous :yes:

Congrats!!! :dance: I am praying we get transferred as well. It is seriously a consuming prayer. :lol:

Hi Elizabeth, it's so great to see you back!!! Squito and I don't live in Queens, but we are in Brooklyn. Congratulations on Henry finding a job. That's wonderful. God bless him. Don't mind the haters, they will always find something to say. As long as he is making an honest living that's all that matters. Also, this is his first job here, he doesn't plan to make a career of it!! Shake those haters off honey..... :yes::thumbs::luv::P:D

I apologize and repent for calling that person an eediot for removing the I-94. As most of you know, they were supposed to take it. :whistle:

I didn't vote because my answer is: "went the K-3 route and am glad." Henry is still anxious about my slow AOS application, but I hope to send it out this week....really. Interested to see the results! :yes:
