How sad is it what happened in Washington? It is so scary...someone who is suppose to protect and serve taking the lives of so many young people

Then Ms. Marion Jones --- WTH!!!!

Very sad about Washington and I am very disappointed with Ms. Jones!! Does this mean that Jamaica would get gold in the 1600 relay? There is such pressure for athletes to perform these days, but to what extent do you put your life, body and reputation on the line?? Seriously dyam shame!

I was such a fan of Marion Jones...I have read the headlines...but I couldn't bring myself to read the actual articles. So sad and disappointing. Sadly Washington is becoming the norm in our society.

kikiki...(all dowe mi still vex a likkle when mi tink bout har)...

actually I never planned to stay that long because I want to save my vacation time for trips for Embassy business and when A actually gets here...but all the other tickets were upwards of $450.00 (some even as high as $970 for my original dates). I hate that I'm going to miss Rebel Salute...I thought that it was earlier.

I finally got my MRI on Thursday...going today for the results. I'm still hurting alot, and I have been a miserable weepy mess because it has been almost two months of suffering. I don't sleep and I don't eat...I toss and turn all night...and I get nauseous when I eat.

Now since the application will be mailed this week......is this the time that I should go ahead and send it to Drew in Jamaica.......the only things that he needs to send back with it is.....original birth certificate, original marriage certificate and police record.......He has never been married so no divorce documents.......Just trying to make sure that I get all my things in proper order.......

Then they were saying on our TV station yesterday that if she gets stripped of her Relay medals...the whole entire US team does !!! That's just sooooo darn horrible AND for her to only think about herself --at that time. She needs to seriously go to an island where noone is 'round and that noone can find her for a looong time !!

[luvtravlin 0]

Ok all...so we Finally went to go see my MIL...2wks ago..and BWOY she is something else. She is reminiscing about yrs ago from he was 10yrs old...I just said hello and kept it moving. She starts whispering, not saying it was about me but this is how rude she is. Then as we were leaving she is questioning him about us moving, and telling him "when i call u to come over just come" basicly no excuses. I over heard her telling him "oh mi soon caan see as much when u move" as if we are moving to washington. This lady drives me nuts. She he on his a** everywhere he turns. i hate to see her treat him like a child...Seriously I am gonna blow up, b4 I do do u guys have any suggestions on how I should bring this about to both of them..this has to be done wit all three of us. He says she will take things to heart and that's why he allows her to just do whatever. I told him, she knows exactly what she's doing..I CAN'T STAND IT..i told him that next time he can go by himself ..cause I can't deal

I don't know what the best way to handle this is...I know everytime I take issue with the way my fiance's mom babies him or treats him it's like WW 10!! A Jamaican man's relationship with his mother is a sensitive subject. I tread very lightly and it usually takes me days to figure out how to say things without it being such a problem.

Thank's girl...but why do I have to tread light and I am his freaking wife..as if that means nothing to her. Almost as if she expects him to do things w/o my knowledge..as if I'm just some freaking girl.i GUESS I'm just venting...He needs to get it 1st..if he allows her to continue, then she won't change....

I don't tread lightly. I say how I feel. My MIL may be playing games; but I do not. I will not lie or try to play him to get what I want. And, I do point it out when she is doing that.

What I have found works best for me is to tell him exactly what I am thinking when I make some comment. For instance, his mom calls and wants money for something. If we don't have it, I tell him flat out, we don't have it. If we have some earmarked for something else, I say "well, you can't get that (whatever) you were eyeing" or "well, we can't go to the movies" or "we won't be able to have that oil change now" or whatver. Whatever is the truth. I've even said I don't like that she now calls every 2 weeks or I don't like doing this cause now she will expect it and you know we can't always do this. We've caught her in lies to play us and I really go off then.

I've gone so far as to tell him if she called that night, after we had a disappointing day, that I would take his cell phone outside and mash it up. (He took the battery out of the phone one night that I said that! )

Anyhow, my point is that I have found honesty is the best policy. If you don't tell him exactly what you are thinking, he can use that as an excuse against you later on. If you tell him, he can never claim he did not know.

I agree with Belly's Girl Try to limit your interaction with her for a while. If you explode your hubby will be put in the middle and I am willing to bet the MIL will act like the victim of the big bad daughter in law. We know he loves your dearly but it will be so hard for him if he has to chose sides.

Jenice

While that might work for some, it is not for me. People will play you if you let them.

I agree Kelly, I would do the same exact thing. Craig's mom is soooooooooooo darn sweet to me. She's very very nice and we like each other very much. It took about one full year (most recently) for Craig to FINALLY say to her, mom I just do NOT have the money to help you right now !!! I told him over and over and over again, you just HAVE to be honest and stop giving her the hope that money will be arriving when in reality it won't. The JA men and their mothers thing drives ME bananas !!! Craig's mother didn't raise him and she's only been back in his life for about 5 yrs and now "he" thinks "he" owes her ??? Don't get that one at all !!!

His mother had been calling every week at 10:00-10:30pm ....now that he's been honest, she calls every so often "just to see how he is doing" and to tell me and Austin, hello. He calls her on a calling card, but ....realizes it is expensive and it only depresses him hearing all that she doesn't have and *wants*. She's a hard worker, but spends spends spends !!! That apple does not fall far from the tree !

I've never been asked to bring anything, by anyone in the 10 yrs I've been going to Jamaica. I brought his mom ome a picture of Craig in a frame, one of my son and then the 3 of us and I put them in picture frames. She just sat and cried and thought that was wonderful. Just the little things. Whenever we get down there, I'll be bringing her more clothes....but....it's not going to be things that I've gone out to buy and I'm not "splurging" on the entire family. I'll bring items for the kids, what we have around the house that my son isn't using anymore.

Have a safe journey for all that are traveling ! I'm jealous oh wait, not jealous about the whole interview process...cause don't miss THOSE feelings at all !!

[SweetSugahDumplin 0]

We really haven't been asked to bring gifts down at all.

Just wait until you actually set a date to go down there. People will be coming out of the woodwork! We got calls all the way up til the last minute of people wanting this or that. Tony finally told them his suitcase was full and he couldn't bring anything else

hehehe yup i been gettin calls all last week playstation controllers, purse, grown folk shoes! baby shoes toddler shoes mi suitcase full of mi own tings ok

My fiance mom do not talk!! she says hello with a little smile thats IT. She once ask if i ever had pig feet before! cuz i was tearin hers up that she cooked lol i added vingegar they all laughed at me this lady is quiet as a church mouse

Wanna trade??????

MIL's I mean. I'll be keeping her son!

im wondering how things will be once he gets here and what will happen with his family....hes very much depended on for everything hes the go to man and what will be when he leaves uh oh....also MILs should have a certain level of respect for the wife and realize son is grown A man with a family Wife comes first after u get married not Mom.

Those are the same worries that I have. He is at home trying to get everything set up before he leaves because he won't be back for awhile. His father told him to stay a here awhile and get himself together but I know that he is going to miss his family very much. This is why I have been saving to get the paperwork completed so that he will be able to travel soon. He is definitely the go to man at home so this transition will difficult.

I am going to say, you have no idea how difficult it will be. My advice is to talk it through all the time. It's the only way Andre and I have not had gigantic arguments, although we have had a few of those. You have to tell him what you are thinking and hear his thoughts so you two can work it through. And, sometimes you just have to turn off the phone.
