Yah, his mom, Pansy, is one of Andre's mom, Blossom's, sisters. They consider Blossom and her kids to be "country folk" cause they don't live in Kingston. It's so much drama. I haven't met any of them yet. BTW....he got out on my birthday this year. I was probably more excited then anyone else about the actual date. It's also kind of surreal to hear his music blasting and say, huh, that is my cousin now.

Andre's sister has high hopes of singing back up for him. I hope Jah Cure breaks the news gently to her that she really can't sing all that well.

:lol::lol: Poor thing :lol:

She lives in New York and sends us these CD's she makes. We were driving in the car one day, trying to listen to one cause she kept asking us if we did. Andre finally popped it out and threw it out the window. Yet, when she asks if we listen to them, he says..."oh yah, I have one in the car right now." I crack up.

:lol::lol: Weird stares are coming my way. You all are going to have to do an "Intervention" with her. Bring her into reality -- call Simon Cowell in.

Oh, h-----e----double toothpicks........NO! She is scary. I love her to death; but I've seen her wield a knife before. Someone else will have to tell her.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

I love Jah Cure....

Ok, I know I'm going to hear it -- but I can't ever remember hearing a Jah Cure song. Ever since I started school, I have only been listening to books on tape, so I don't hear music much and I put my clubbing days on the back burner a long time ago.

ok ladies i am stressing out about this...not sure what to do...what the right answer is....i called my insurance to see what is all included as i will need to start seeing a dr. pretty soon and they said maternity is NOT covered...it is a al' a cart option that i didn't pick when i signed up for it...well duh of course i didn't wasn't planning on getting preggo....so they said i could add it but it wouldn't cover this current pregnacy...so what do i do....i have been told to look into state funded programs...but will that effect mike and his AOS...i started filling out a application online but stopped when it started asking questions abot mike and who sponsered him blah blah blah....

so my next thought was if i couldn't do that i came across a maternity card...it is not insurance but will give you a discounted price and can save you up to 60%....

or should i maybe cancel my half of the insurance and get another plan that will cover me? i am just not sure what to do i need to bounce these thoughts off of you ladies......

You might want to speak to a medicaid rep but I dont think that will be a problem. It's not like your receiving food stamps or cash. It's a Medicaid/Medical card and you should be able to recv that even if you work esp if you're pregnant. What about your local clinics or hospitals. I know here where I live they have two hospital and both have family clinics in them. While I was pregnant w/my daughter I was registered w/one of them and my copays (per doctor visit) and the birth was on a pay scale based on my income.

I don't know about that one. I tried to sign up for Medicaid when I was let go from my job while pregnant with my oldest child. Because they gave me some severence pay, I wasn't eligible for the Medicaid. They kept insisting on offering me food stamps, which I didn't want; but refused the Medicaid, which I needed. It was maddening.

If you aren't happy with that card plan you signed up for, talk to a social worker. They are pretty good at giving you all options available to you and helping you sign up for things.

I think every state is different. Here in IL you are quicker to get Medicaid then food stamps or cash.

Has anyone ordered copies of Jamaican Birth Certificate online? How long does it take? And how much does it cost? The website doesn't tell me much.

I'm gearing up for AOS. We forgot to get copies. B)

I used to audit Medicare and Medicaid...let's just say...there were many holes in the process. ;)
