Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 5)

[*JG* 2]

Nanny,

I have front loaders too. You have to use something that states HE on it, first and foremost. Regular detergents make too much suds in HE washers and this will cause problems for you.

I have always used just normal HE detergents. My kids were not allergic.

If concerned, you should probably use something with no scent that says allergen free or something of that sort.

JG,

Ya'll teach me somethin everyday. That explains a lot. Guess I better go read the manuals properly.

More then.............the reason they make too much suds is that the newer front loaders are built to sense the actual load in the washer and adjust how much water is needed to wash and rinse your clothes. Thus, the name High Efficiency (HE).

Besides having to buy a different detergent, I don't see too much difference. I do like that when they come out of the washer, they have spun so much that they are not dripping with water. That is the biggest plus for me. Takes so much less time to dry.

I'd never go back to top loaders!

OMG....I have to tell you this.....Last night, we were watching Monk reruns. Monk's wife died in a car bombing and he's still mourning her, years after her death. He keeps her stuff just like it was, talks to her, yada, yada, yada. At one point, I was all teary eyed and I said awwwww.....if I died would you still remember me like that. He said, first thing I would do is throw all your stuff out so I would have room to buy more shoes.

I said....oh, that is it. I am not shipping your body back to JA. And, we are having open casket.....I am dressing you in a red hat, blue shirt, plaid puple shorts, and green shoes!!!! He sucked teeth at me.

BTW.....One immigration lawyer told us that when we file the I-130 for my husbands daughter; we will most likey be required to submit an offical DNA test, and recommended we try adoption. He referred us to another immigration adoption lawyer that told us it will be nearly impossible to adopt my husband's daughter due to the fact my husband lives in the states and we are married. So her chances of coming up isn't looking very well. My husband is very upset about it. He can deal with the fact the girl is not his, but on top of that her not being able to come live with us because of it is really tearing him up inside. He wants me to go ahead and file the paperwork anyway,(holding on the the bit of hope JATam offered) hoping we get some out of the ordinary immigration person. Who will let her through wit jus his name being on the BC.

I don't see what is so difficult about it. Being that he has been her "father" in every sense of the word, all her life, is on the birth certificate, and if the mother agrees to it.........I just don't see why it would be so impossible. Probably lots of paperwork, I'm sure that's a give. But, still............

Don't let someone telling you the word "impossible" deter you. You guys have got to try.

Prayers for you!

AMEN!!! Well Said JG!!

Brownie, NOTHING is impossible with G-D!! You know how I stay arready...nothing ventured...nothing gained! File and see...

Bless-ed love,

There comes a time in every woman's life when she has to take a close look at herself. Not at her circumstance, not at what she did, not how unfair life is, or not at whom made you do it. She has to just look at herself in all her glory and imperfection.

Have you ever admired a woman who has been through changes in her life? Or have you made up in your mind that she is just messed up. Before you make this mistake, take a closer look. A woman who has endured the most unusual life is someone of wisdom, someone who has been chosen by God to go through things that have made her stronger.

Think of all the great women in the bible: Mary Magdalene, Ruth and Naomi, the woman with an issue of blood flow, and Esther, to name a few. Mary was a prostitute, a very uneasy woman. But by the time Jesus was done with her, she was His closest follower. Esther was unfortunate in marrying an abusive man, but by the time God was done with her, she had married one of the wealthiest men in the land.

Women are so quick to beat the next one down instead of trying to hold her up. Before you wonder, "What's up with her?" ask yourself, "What's up with me?" That woman could be my mother, sister, aunt, in-law, stepmother, niece, grandmother, great-grandmother, neighbor, friend, or co-worker, etc. That woman could be me. Women are the carriers of life, not the channels of death. Let's build and encourage each other, as did Ruth and Naomi.

Pass this to all the women in your life. Encourage and Love, Forgive and Forget, and trust that the woman that receives this will be touched in some way.

May peace and love be upon you.

Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, but FAITH looks up

That's beautiful Jengy...Thanks for sharing!

BrnSkn.....Now, you know from this site......you can do a lot of research on your own. We are looking to adopt our orphaned nephew as soon as we are in a position to do that. I looked up all kinds of stuff on adopting from Jamaica. It was pretty understandable. I was thinking I can do this......I would just have to make a few trips to JA for some of it. A lot I can do from here......that's what I remember saying to myself.

Start there with some research and see where it takes you. Maybe you don't need a lawyer till the very end and just for some paperwork.

You CAN do this.
