Part of that may also be my fault, I explained to him when the 8 guys won it here, its better if you go in with a group of guys cuz then you can afford to buy more at a time.

Well.....I am sorry to hear about the bad weather everyone is having....the local news showed floods all over the place. Looks like the east coat is getting hit hard!!! Stay safe and stay dry.........

I wish I could complain....but we are having a little "heat wave" here in Cali...It was around 90 degrees yesterday and supposed to be in the upper 80's today.........kinda reminds me of Jamaica without the humidity and also without my sweetheart!!

Take care everyone......

PS. Don't worry Shauna......Mike will be okay........

It's cold and gloomy here in Chicago too!!

Mindy~ So what did you get for mother’s day?

Blood, blood and more blood. Axl (my oldest girl) popped a nail on Saturday morning -- it was still attached and sideways on her paw....we had to rush her to the vet because she has that Doberman disease (VonWildebrand) where their blood doesn't clot and she could easily bleed to death -- well.....they gave her a tranquilizer shot to sleep and pulled the nail off....it was pretty gross. So the rest of my weekend was spent trying to keep her calm and blood free.

I know, I know.....too much information. At least I'm not talking about ####### sacs!!

Good morning everyone

It is a glorious and sunny morning here. My boo is enjoying school (praise the Lord) and he isn't in ESL english - so that is a plus. I helped him with his homework over the weekend and the biggest thing from what I see he needs to work on is spelling.

I hope everyone has a good day

Nanny congrats on interview date

Dancer I will say a prayer for your grandniece

SJB - mi waan guh too can I sneak in your luggage?

Elizabeth,

Where did you get those highly coveted bitter melon seeds? Is there a place to buy them there? I know New York has a real big Guyanese population, so I am imagining they have lots of stores that sell them.

And thanks for the prayers everyone, for my grand niece, they do another ultrasound in a week. Not sure, everything I read on the web says it happens usually to preemie's first born, not after a month. Apparently they noticed it (the doctor, hospital staff) two weeks ago, but just now brought it to our attention. ARGHH!

My cousins got 10 seeds on Liberty Ave in Queens. I think she paid $2. Someone at church promised to give me some, but has not as yet. If and when he does, I can send them to you.

Does anyone in IL know where you could by JA food or is there a restraint. I remember seeing a JA both at the taste. I can't remember the name of the restraint at all. Does anyone know that place and where it is located?

Everyone have a happy mother's day!!!

Jax - I think you're talking about Maxine's out south on 87th & Cottage Grove. There is a lot of restaurants out south but I live on the northside and don't know all of them. Maxine's sell good food and my a friend of mines had her cater her wedding but she's too dear (my opinion). I know a few ppl that worked w/her but I guess I'm being biased b/c she makes good money and don't want to pay anybody nothing. I know she also help ppl who not str8 so knows.

Rennassaince (sp?) is going to be at the Taste (63rd & Lowe) in Chicago on 5/27 if anyone is interested. I would go but I'll be in NY for the holiday weekend.

There is a "market" in Rogers Park....Anna knows exactly where it is. There is also a store in Evanston -- we have been there. It's called 'Caribbean Linstead Market' -- 723 Howard, Evanston (847) 492-8220. There is also a new restaurant that just opened in Evanston....not sure of the name or where it exactly is....

I think you are west....I am south and we have a few African stores by us. I have had luck there too. Do an internet search for African/Caribbean stores. You might be surprised what you find near your house.

The restaurant that opened in Evanston is cld Claire's Korner....just found out the ppl in there knows Javon. I went in there w/his niece and they come from the side part in Lincoln Mandeville. What a small world. The phone is good too...a lot better then other places. There is about 3 JA'n restaurants on Howard st and don't forget the bakery. Lately a friend and I have been thinking of opening a Golden Crust here b/c the business could really use some help..lol

Thanks ladies this really helps me out. I guess I am getting ahead of myself since he wont be here for a year still. I go to Evaston sometimes with my girlfriend so we will have to check out these places. She is throwing my bach party soon so I will check it out then. I checked the Chicago burbs list of places but there is nothing out in the far west burbs that are closer to me. Oh course thats cause I am in NIU country.

My prayers our with you and your family .

My cousin used to work at the Blue Mountain Cafe that was on Wilson but she recently moved to Schaumburg w/a new name. I can get her info you like. I'm not sure how far west you are.
