marlita - I hope you understood what I meant by my answer to your question. By using your married name on the form though you have not changed it on other identifications, when you send it in with the form it will signify that your name can be officially changed due to the marriage. I thought I needed to clarify my answer so I don't look like a dumb a$$.

Some people in Jamaica love their life and would never want to leave and they only reason they would leave would to be with their spouse. If their spouse left them some would go back to Jamaica.

Yes, I agree with this Even though in my opinion, life is better here, Tony was happy in JA and originally never wanted to move here. (Especially when I told him how cold it is in the winter!) He would definately go back if we split up - we've talked about it before. That's where his family is. Even though he has some friends here now, it's just not the same. He LOVED his job that he had when I met him and he liked having family and cousins and friends around all the time. Also, just the whole laid-back atmosphere.

Although it's funny, the last couple times we were down there, he was getting impatient with how slooooow everything is done And how bad the roads are compared to here!!

:lol:

Well instead of it being in the 80's it hit 51 degrees here in Chi Land and hubby was already looking for gloves at Walmart. Needless to say he doesn't want to take out the trash tonight. He said we were all wimpy wearing sweaters and coats earlier this fall season but I guess he is singing a new tune today. I wish I could of seen him walk out the front door today for school.

Rhonda my husband is the same way loved his job and friends. He gave up his reggae musician life for me. At least one night this summer he got to jam with his friends who play for Stephen Marley.

Rhonda all I can say is try to relax girl and not stress out to much. Hold in there! I know nothing will be better than pushing your baby out soon! All the best

....when I get there...my son (then 3) was sitting on the floor with his little safety scissors...I asked him did you cut up mommie's feathers....and he said no mommy. Meanwhile there were feathers all over him...all over his little head and face and hands. My robe was sitting mangled in a pile next to him...with the price tags still attached.

Tree likkle bears??.... (Jamaican version) :

Baby Bear goes downstairs and sits in his small chair at the

table, he looks into his small bowl. It is empty. "Mama, s'maddy

nyam me porridge!!" he squeaks.

Papa Bear arrives at the big table and sits in his big chair.

He looks into his bowl, and it is also empty.

"A who eat mi porridge?!!" he roars.

Momma Bear puts her head through the serving hatch from the

kitchen and yells at the top of her voice "Ah me get up

first and wake up everybody

else ina de house. A me mek de tea. A me wash up di dish dem and

put weh everyting. A me go out inna de cold morning air an fetch

A me set de table. An a me put out de puss, clean de litter box an

Dang, Ms Scott didn't get a date yet..what is going on..has she called the embassy ?

I have called, faxed and e-mailed the Embassy a million times. Every time, I get the same response, "Your husband is eligible for an interview, but a date has not been set." Since I applied for a K-3 Visa, the NVC has nothing to do with scheduling. I have also contacted Congressman David Scott and Senator Kasim Reed in Georgia to see if they could intervene. To date, I have not received any assistance. What's a girl to do? Why do K-1 folks receive faster processing? This process has really put a strain on my marriage. Next week is my one year anniversary, yet my man is still in Jamaica. Other than divine intervention, I don't know what else to do. Milan is also awaiting an interview. Please keep her in your prayers.

Oh, dear. I'm so sorry. Prayers and hugs to you.

*Jawi trying hard fe stifle wan dutty buss hout and laff*

*kin teet*

Ummm...and how did she get to the powder K? What did Daddy K say? *snicker...giggle* that reminds me of the time my oldest son got to my new lingerie (nightie and matching robe)...the robe had feathers around the sleeves...very cute. Welll anyway...I come into my room and I see pink feathers or remnants of feathers floating around my room. My lingerie was not in the bag on the bed. So, I go to my closet to look for it....when I get there...my son (then 3) was sitting on the floor with his little safety scissors...I asked him did you cut up mommie's feathers....and he said no mommy. Meanwhile there were feathers all over him...all over his little head and face and hands. My robe was sitting mangled in a pile next to him...with the price tags still attached.

waaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeee BOAL....LMAO...sorry Kimmy! I can't help it! LOL LMAO at the image of white powder all over everything.

U no good..chile mi couldn't do nuttin. She did have a small bottle a powder in her book bag I guess from my moms house .. and she discover it sah..and there it went..daddy did nuttin but clean it up and a ask"how u so rude man" ..cho

laughing even harder now....waaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeee

when my daughter was in pre-school they did this project where they filled a sock with rice......as much rice as the child weighed at birth. Molly was 9lbs. 15 oz. So that much rice in this sock puppet looking thing. One day, my kids got into a fight and started swinging that sock around. Can you guess what happened? Uh....huh......it broke in one mid-swing. Rice swung all over the freakin' room. We moved 2 years later and I was still sweeping up the rice!!!!!

[*JG* 2]

It is so scary to see all that is going on in the world...How sad the shooting in Cleveland? What is happening to our children?

Luvtravlin - yes, the other day I meant Wisconsin, sorry

This post brings me right to where I was thinking. Have you seen this, this week?

LETTER OF THE DAY - Gunmen poised to kill more children

published: Thursday | October 11, 2007

The Editor, Sir:

The headlines in The Gleaner of Wednesday, October 10, simply said, 'Fire for bullets, Gunmen hunt children with firebombs'. The story by Glenroy Sinclair on page A3 read 'Gunmen are anxious to kill another child, in reprisal for one of two children who were killed during last Friday's massacre'. He says, "After the gunmen gassed and lit the house with six children inside, the group of heavily armed gunmen hid in the dark backyard and called out the names of the children one by one, hoping they would step outside, so they could kill them."

I am deeply disturbed, saddened and distraught by what has happened in the past few days. This incident on October 9 is even more disturbing than the one last week. What have these children ever done to deserve to be hunted down and slaughtered like rabid animals, by the human beings who are to protect them? What did those children do on Friday to deserve to be slaughtered?

I am begging those persons who believe that our children have so wronged them, not to do this. We are murdering our future, we are murdering the men and women who will be called upon to govern and provide a country so those of us who are fortunate to live until then, will have a future.

I am burdened with guilt. Guilt for not speaking out, guilt for not doing more for our children. Guilt for not helping to protect our children's rights, and ensuring that others do the same.

We cannot allow these children to become the victims of someone's dream and desire to see them dead. Nothing must be spared to halt the murdering of our children. Certainly not these children the reporter spoke of. What have we become but mercenaries when we hunt and murder our children like game animal.

Andre told me last year he could never wear a long sleeved shirt. He ended up looking like the Michalin Man last year during winter.

Last night, I got home from work to find him in corduroys, a sweatshirt, a tam, and boots. I was like, for God's sake, Andre, it's 62 degrees. It's going to get a lot colder.
