I have always stayed in a hotel...but this time (next month) I am splitting it up,... first 2 nights at hotel and the last 3 with him and his family. Not sure how that is going to work out though because the last trip we were out at his family's 2 whole days and evenings for sort of a bday party for me and the bugs ate my azzzzz up!!! so a little nervous staying for 3 whole days and NIGHTS.... Anyone have any remedy for sand flea or mosquito bites...or to prevent them??? I had 120 bites on 1 leg alone!!!!!!

I take the little lamps from Off! that have little mini coils that you insert in the middle of them. Take a box of strike anywhere matches to light them. They are about $9 each @ Walmart. You can also up your garlic intake (the real thing...not garlic salt or powder)...if you slice the garlic clove and add it to your food instead of mincing it...you shouldn't have the problem of smelly pores. You don't have to do a lot of it...one clove every other day should work.

did your SOs keep their digicel number and top them up from the US or just toss it and get a US cell fon

Tony gave his old Digicel phone to his cousin when he moved here. I had an old cell of mine that we reactivated for him and added him to my plan so we shared minutes. After a few months, I was eligible for a new phone so we got 2 new ones.

Oh, just you wait. If he is anything like my husband he will lose his phone constantly. Of course, it is always on either silent or vibrate, so you can't just call it to find it. He will forget his wallet too. He'll lose the car keys. And, you will come home to all the lights on, the doors of all your cabinets open, the back door open with the a/c running, the tv on while the radio is blasting, and every single pot and pan you own dirty in the sink cause he cooked you dinner!

:lol: I'm lucky Tony doesn't do ALL these things. He's locked his keys in the car a few times though and locked himself out of the house twice! He also has the bad habit of leaving all the lights in the house on and the dirty dishes in the sink. I can't complain too much because I hate to cook so I'd rather clean up and have him cook.

And they also say at PlannedP that you dont have to be a "LEGAL" resident to get these services. what!? So basically if you come here illegally from another country and get pregnant you can then stay here in the US and get free medical, and nutrition for you and your baby! So I pay taxes up the ying yang and cant use this taxpayers service but illegals can? Make my blood boil now when I see these women.

Oh Lord and don't get me started on immigration rallies....where people are burning flags and getting all mad cause the US wants to deport them for being illegal.

AMEN :yes: That's why OUR taxes keep going up. It's insane. Why should they get all the benefits without ever paying taxes and we get shafted?!!! It really makes me mad because WE know what we had to go through to get our men here LEGALLY - time, money, patience, more money, etc... It just burns me up :angry:
