I should say we digest what we chew we see (corn) is what wasn't chewed properly. It just takes longer to go thru our digestiv system because the break down process is longer than our digestive tract...if u don't make a bowel movement just after u eat corn..guess what no corn in poop..:)

:ot: David's visa was ready today to be pick up. :dance::dance: Since he works really odd and some time long hours; we decide not to have it delivered to his home but to pick it up at the AirPak office in Kingston. It took just 3 business days!!!!

David is still sticking to this end of the month arrival plan. I am really not happy with that plan. So I guess we will be working on our ability to compromise skills over the next few days. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

ALRIGHT!!!! :dance::dance: I wanted to call you tonight to ask, but I wasn't sure if you were busy. I am so happy. I hope that you will be able to convince him to come earlier. I had been trying with Aaron and he won't budge, so stubborn he is! We already have our tickets for him to move up :thumbs:

When we went to Airpak, it seem like they had pre-checked to deliver to your SO's home. Note that your SO HAS to be the one to sign for it, so it may be a better deal to pick it up. I wish that we had done that as Aaron would have gotten it on Wednesday rather than Friday.

Andre wanted a Movado watch. I balked at the price......actually I think I said are you Freakin' (not exactly the word I used) crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!! After I explained he could get a really nice watch at a jewelry store and he found some he liked, he was good. The one he ended up getting only cost $105. I was pleased.

The bling and chain he is looking at is around the $120 range. I'm good with that.

I want a Movado watch! I've been looking at them for years, just never got one. Usually Tony is the one in our family with the expensive taste :lol: His gold chain that I bought him was over $700 :o

anyone ever do the secret shopper???? i signed up for it and took their VERY hard tests :lol: if you did it...how was it...

I've done mystery shopping before. I never actually did any stores - they were always restaurants. Basically I would get instructions on what to look for while I was there and sometimes had to order something specific. The problem I had is that I had to pay for the meal and then after I did the paperwork and sent in the receipt, they would reimburse me. It took a looooong time to get my reimbursement check. Even though I had the info. sent to them within 48 hours, I would have to wait weeks for my check. One time, it took a few months. It's really not a very good way to make money. I was disappointed.

:yes: ...I was about to type the same thing! But, you do have to be really careful about how large you make the whole in the nipple...just like you said JG...Baby could choke! The other thing Rhonda, I wouldn't introduce cornmeal porridge until 7-10 months old. The baby cereal is fine before that, but cornmeal can be hard to digest for a little, little baby.

I'm so nervous. I have a lot to learn :wacko:

I had a friend that did that. She liked it. She mainly went to restaurants and bars, so really how bad could it be if you're getting paid to eat :lol::lol: . She just said the $$ was slow, because she got paid by the gig. And the price for each gig was different. But extra $$ is extra$$ in my eyes.

The problem is you're not really making any money! You're just getting reimbursed for what you ate or drank. (At least that's how it was for the one's I did). I used to eat out a LOT anyways, so I figured it was a good deal to get some free meals out of it! :P

True Kimmy, I think I had to pay $5-10 more for my second suitcase w/Spirit!

But, lawd deh lass time mi fly 'Di Market Bus' (AJ). The flight attendant asked my 6 year old son..."Yuh waan pissa cyake" -Jus' so!! He said excuse me? She just repeated..."Yuh... waan... fi... nyam... pissa... cyake... or bun?" I swear I was looking around for the video camera...cause you couldn't tell me I wasn't in a 'Oliver' episode!! :blink: When I finally translated for my son (who understands patois- but hers was BAD!!!) He turned to the attendant and said "Ohh, pissa cyake puhlease" - My youngest one is so facety(but mi didda haffi laugh still) Dyam outta order ,ooman! :lol:

(L) ,Gill

:lol::lol: (whoaaa, mi belly). I can't believe that happened, fi real it is a true market bus....

Ok, ladies, what am I missing here? :unsure: If I understood you right, the flight attendant asked your son if he wanted a piece of cake right? I know I'm missing something really funny :wacko:
