Yardies, at home and a farrin'

[Jamaica to CT 0]

Hello Ladies! It's pretty quiet in here right now. I hope everyone's weeknd was nice. We just got back today from visiting my parents. The boys had a ball.

Ricardo bought me a new car on saturday! It is a really nice mini van( i thought i would never buy one but ours is really cute!) We needed a new car because we need the 3 rows cuz I can't fit 3 car seats in 1 row! It's so special because this is his first car that he has ever financed and he did it all on his own. It''s all his credit and without a cosigner. FRom here on the skies the limit!

Congrats!

HELLO everyone,

Just wanted to stop in and say hello and I hope everyone is doing great!!! I am doing OK, I was suppose to go back to work today and work some overtime but they called and canceled it, so I will go back to work Thurs night...I feel like I have been off of work for ever.

Adrian and I are keeping in contact but I dont think there is much of a future for us except to be friends, I think he still has hopes that we will be together again ...but who knows what the future holds....right now I am just doing what I can to occupy my time and getting back to work is really what I need.

Joanna,

Good to hear you're coming along okay. It's good that you and Adrian can still talk...especially when everything is so fresh.

All the best.

Lee

Glad to hear you're okay. Take care and keep in touch.

where are you moving to?

New Britain-home sweet home.

ricardoswife - congrats on the new car. That is awsome!!

jkb919 - Joanna, I am glad to hear you are doing very good.

Mr. Squitto Happy Birthday

Rohan congrats on the new job. I would ask for the day off soon as possible they should understand that is your big day.

Michelle sorry to hear the packing is not going that great. I can understand. My mom and dad are moving today and we unload the truck this Thursday. Only if my mother could threw something away it could be easier. Are you a big saver and never threw anything away? What day are u moving? Stick in there it will soon be over.

Kim what name are you going to give your new fish? Have you gals ever discussed why they have such werid nicknames for people in JA? I think some off them are so silly. I go for Ray Rey for the name

That's a good topic - what are your man's nicknames in Jamaica?? Tony (aka: Anthony) has at least 3 that I can think of: Dread, Matterhorn, and Franklin Don't ask me how they came up with them. The only one I understand is Dread because he was very bad when he was a kid and always getting in trouble. I guess it's short for dreadful? His parents and certain family members call him Franklin. How the heck did they get that out of the name Anthony?

No, I'm not really a packrat. I'm just having flashbacks of my last move. I'm also the worst procrastinator there is. I have too many clothes; shoes etc and I am also unorganized . I also don't like asking anyone for help even though I have had many offers. My closing is scheduled for 6/16; but I don't have to move out until mid-July. It's just so overwhelming.

They were cashed on May 9th and I havent gotten a letter yet. Who would I contact? And also did your letters come in his name or your name?

It took over a week for us -- but not this long.....everything comes in his name. Do you at least have your "Receipt Numbers" from the back of the checks? Did you register on-line with the USCIS?

Yeah I see a bunch of numbers online from the checks. I assume its the 07 number that says INS blah blah. Is that the receipt number I can register with online??
