[Sonshyne 2]

good morning ladies....i haven't posted in a couple days dealing with some personal issues w/ mike...i feel i have been pretty honest about our issues...i am going to lay it all out there...

i recieved an online alert that our cell phone bill was ready...when i looked at how much more it was i decided i better look to make sure hey didn't charge us wrong again like they did a couple months ago....when i got to mike's number i came across 3 local wilmington numbers...that were called every day for the past month...i asked him about it and he said they were friends....when i said ok lets call...he admitted they were girls he met..after toying with the idea of calling them...mt friend said i'll calll and get the scoop....i knew what the girl was going to say but just needed to hear it i guess..

she said he approched her...w/out his ring...told her he was living her w/ his aunt...and he needed a "friend"...when she asked him if he was involved he said no....so he asked he for her number and called her the next day....then after that she never heard from him...she said she got the feeling he was trying to hook up....the other 2...one was at a JA resturant the other on the bus....he said they were just someone to talk to....but the other girl....he admitted could have been something more...

i am devistated....very confused....and feel very betryed...my worst fear....came to life....

i don't want you all to feel sorry for me....today is a new day....if anything...maybe this experince will open up some of your eyes...and let you know it can happen....just be prepared...

I have a question for you guys...I just found out about a great job at a credit union that I want to apply for. How do you put your current job on the resume so they know that you are working but you don't want them to be contacted. I don't really want this job right now to know that I am still looking elsewhere. Do I just leave them off the resume completely? Put the job title down but leave the company name blank? What would you do? I already know what I will say when asked in an interview why I would be leaving after such a short time. I don't want my current job to be contacted because if I don't get a new job I still need this one...know what I mean? Hope that made some sort of sense...any tips and ideas are appreciated.

Every place I have ever applied has made me fill out an employment application in addition to submitting my resume. Stupid, if you ask me cause they are saying the same thing; but.......Anyhow, there always seems to be something you can check on the application stating whether they can contact your current and former employers or not.

Thanks! Yeah I have done that before...I guess the part I didn't mention that would have been helpful is the fact that they are only accepting resumes via email/online...so I wasn't sure how to do it that way.

If you have to send an online letter with it, I would state in there that your current company is not away you are looking and you would like to keep it that way.

They should not contact your current employer until after an interview. They usually ask if it is okay to contact them. Most understand that it causes problems. Go for it.

Thanks Darlene and Jomosgirl

I guess it is probably more common than I think and I need to just stop stressing

Thanks again

A really good question, I'm quite worried since I've worked for my present company for the past 9 years. I will be on maternity/holiday leave until December 2008, but want to start working Jan 2008. I am not allowed to work while on maternity leave, obviously there's no way my company in the UK would know unless the company I wanted to work for called them...But how on earth do I make that clear to companies I'm applying to?

And if I leave them off, I would have 'no' employment history for 10 years!

Personal question do most of your guys smoke? My husband has never in his life time and I am just curious what the numbers are. Most people I know don't except for like 1.

Never 1

Tony used to smoke sometimes. He was not a heavy smoker by any means. I smoked with his cousin a bit while I was down there and Tony barely hit it. I'm not a big smoker either, but I can't resist the Jamaican ganja!

I noticed that immigrant visas (CR1) and taking a lot less time then non-immigrants visas (K1 & K3) to arrive. I wonder why?

At the medical today they didn't even ask him about the herb. He went in at 8:30am and out by 10:30am. It cost him about 200 US for the process.

My husband used to smoke way back in his DJ days (in the 90s) but haven't since. I know quite a few ppl that smoke some are here and some in JA.
