Congrats Mrs. Palmer :dance: Your pictures are beautiful!!

thankyou but after Jonesie's post I'm trying to get them deleted :wacko::whistle::yes::hehe::lol:

Gill, I had a big strong drink last night!!!!!!!

And, while I wanted to tell you all sooner, I kind of believe in not jinxing myself. Better to wait till the end and give you all the story, anyhow.

I'm glad everything worked out ok. :blush:

Oops sorry. Let me see if I can remove them.

Just an FYI to all...we ALL have an internet signature/identity even if you post on Yahoo Gorups. Nothing in cyberspace is completely private so if you are worried about cyber identity its most likely already been compromised. I work in this stuff daily and its amazing the stuff you can find on someone with a little effort online.....sorry don't want o scare anyone :blush:

But I think I remember Jonesie having a girl use her pics on mypace...that was ridiculous.

Blackplanet, Myspace (I'm not members of either site)...and those are the only ones I know about.

:o:angry:

Visit My Website

this is a test :)

oonu tell mi if oonu can see the pics :)

Your wedding photos are beautiful also!

My hubby was in heaven last night our friend cooked us a real Jamaican meal. I think I finally learned how to cook one meal at least last night.

Does your husband cook?

No he does not cook. I cooked the meal hes friend taught me tonight and he loved it. My husband blew up the microwave so he is not aloud to cook its to scary.

OMG!! lol. My SO doesn't have a microwave in JA and I don't think he even knows how to use one. He's a great chef though...I'm the one that doesn't know how to cook. I'm just so used to my college way of eating but I'm going to try and learn the basics (and maybe more) before he comes. If any of you have any recipes, PLEASE send them my way

Here's a collection of almost 100 of my favorite Jamaican recipes :)

OK guys.....I want to talk serious here for a moment. About something that has recently happened in my life. I tell you this in hopes that it can save someone else some pain and heartache in the future.

My husband lost all sense of....well, all common sense, in June and decided he needed a pair of shorts bad enough to shoplift them from J.C. Penneys. After the fact, I found out he had been watched going into the dressing room with two pairs of shorts, coming out with just one. He had been followed out of the store. A mall cop ran after him and chased him I'd say a quarter of a mile, at least, to a nearby restaurant, where they found him in the women's restroom and the shorts in the trash can. He was not arrested nor fingerprinted (thank God). He went to mall jail, got a summons, and was relesaed. Of course, I blew a gasket at the news.

I immediately contacted a lawyer friend of mine who got us in touch with a criminal attorney. And, of course, I researched the laws regarding immigration and this issue. I really write this today because when this happened, I asked on this board and no one had any answers. That was scary to me. According to my research, as long as he spent less then 365 days in jail, he would not be deported. However, when readin g the forms for use when we apply for his 10 year green card and then later for naturalization, they don't just ask if he has ever been arrested (NOT), they ask if he has ever been detained or charged. A completely different thing. I was scared.

Fast forward to last night.......after 2 continuances and a conference with an immigration attorney, Andre pleaded down to trespassing and fined $100 plus $62.50 in court costs. After the initial shock of our lawyer saying he thought the fine would be $500-1,000 and could involve community service and a bigger charge, I was relieved to say the least. The immigration lawyer also said this would be of no impact on any future immigration issues.

After celebrating our good fortune, I ended with reminding my husband that those stupid pair of $40 shorts still ended up costing us $662.50 and the next time he plans on spending that much, it better be on something with the Louis Vuitton logo on it for me.

Just a word of warning all.....some little mistake that was done in a moment of weakness could end up sending your entire world crashing down around you. it is more important as immigrants. Please remind your SO of this. It could be shoplifting. It could be drunk driving. It could be drug charges of some kind. Whatever. Remind them of how important it is to keep themselves out of trouble.

JG, thanks so much for sharing. I'm happy that it may not be an impact on his immigration status; this is a very important issue to raise

Hey yall!! I just got back from my wedding/honeymoon in JA!! I had the greatest time!! I will try to post pics in the yahoo groups for all to see!! I can't wait to go back to see my husband!! I'm finally Mrs. Tamisha S. Palmer!! :thumbs::thumbs::dance::dance:
