What's your Connection to JA - How/Where/When did you meet? I met him over 3 years ago in MoBay (doctors cave beach...stop by and say hello to him next time ya'll down there...and then smack him in the back of the head and say..."that's from Jill"...see still no grudges!!!) anyway...back to the story...while I was minding my own business and he was working...(he wouldnt leave me alone)

What are you filing for? When did you file? What's your case status? we filed the K1 in August 2004, interview April 2005...DENIED same day.

Are your pics posted on yahoo? um, yes...and they gonna stay there too! I don't give a rats butt if he's begging for me to take them down...let all the women know he's a punk!

Tell us a little about you: I'm a beautiful single mom of 2 kids. I have 5 siblings...2 sisters, 3 brothers. We're all "J's"...Jeff, Jill, Joy, Jimmy, Jessie, & Josh.

Oh don't get started on the juice! I dont drink juice out of the box. I juice from the juicing machine and use box juice to add a bit of liquid to my smoothie. Henry goes thru 3 boxes of Tropicana a week. Our grocery bill is huge, because we are mostly fresh fruit and veggies plus cassava, yam, plantain!!! Can't imagine if we had to afford meat too.

One thing we finally agreed upon is that he does not go shopping without looking in the pantry first. For weeks I was all, "babe, we already have garlic." "Babe, there are already 4 cans of red beans in the pantry; plus a BAG of red beans." "Babe, we have dishwashing liquid under the sink."LOL

Jonesie, Henry would not eat a sandwich. I did stuff a pita with garbanzo beans and chopped onions and tomatoes and he did take a bite out of it. But he'll come around. When I would offer him a sip of my smoothie (banana, strawberry, peach, bluberry, pineapple with guava juice and ice), he would scoff. Now he makes them every day. If we run out of frozen blueberries and strawberries, he gets sad.LOL So Drew will come around.

To bad you don't live around here Elizabeth...I could so get you the hookup on fruit Here at work we process (all frozen): raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, cranberries, marionberries, mango, peach, pineapple and other things on occasion. I can take it all home for free (in moderation of course ) If shipping wasn't outrageous I could send you some

Ladies,

I thought I would share the words of my favorite hymn with you. I wish I could sing it for you and you could hear me. I hope it helps somebody.

Day by Day

Day by day, and with each passing moment,

Strength I find to meet my trials here;

Trusting in my Father's wise bestowment,

I've no cause for worry or for! fear.

He, whose heart is kind beyond all measure,

Gives unto each day what He deems best,

Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure,

Mingling toil with peace and rest.

Every day the Lord Himself is near me,

With a special mercy for each hour;

All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me,

He whose name is Counsellor and Pow'r.

The protection of His child and treasure

Is a charge that on Himself He laid;

"As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,"

This the pledge to me He made.

Help me then, in every tribulation,

So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,

That I lose not faith's sweet consolation,

Offered me within Thy holy Word.

Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,

E'er to take, as from a father's hand,

One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,

Till with Christ the Lord I stand. (Some versions the last line is Till I reach the promised land)

Mek me try it an see.

When the rice is nearly cooked, Henry puts the whole pot of rice in cold water - runs cold water along the sides and bottom of the pot. He said that prevents the rice from sticking to the bottom of the bottom.

Squito washes his rice like 80 times before cooking it, and when it's almost done, he puts a piece of plastic over the top of it and puts the cover back on to steam it

Andre has to wash his rice as many times as it takes to take away the "color from the water".

When it is almost finished he uses papertowels to cover and then puts the cover back on.

Drew does the same thing - or uses foil if we are outta plastic

I'm a rinser too - have to rinse the rice before I cook it. His rice is always better than mine.

I am trying to take my mind off things so I am gonna add personally., I use foil paper. I have becomce so American that 1 wash is more than enough fo rme, but Ihave to use foil and if I don't have that I sue cling wrap over the rice when is is almost finish. The steam helps to finish the cooking process so it is 'shelly'.

In March wehn Paul was here I tried washing the rice once and he literally flip.oh you a go gi big mon dutty rice fi eat and ray ray ray...betta wash dat a few more times.

Since we're talking about similarities, has your husband every said any of the following:

-Don't say babies are "heavy", say they are "weighty"-- "heavy" people are dead

-Don't go into the shower right after using the iron, might tek up draff

-After I give birth, we can't have sex for a year or the baby will grow retarded

_________________________________

oh and I don't know if we touched on this already, but before Squito came here he was very opposed to using the microwave. I don't know what's happened lately, but now he uses it all the time. Sometimes I look at him and just laugh
