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

[TRELAWNY PARISH 10]

Ok people don't kill me. But i've never been able to get into MO Bay...Negril was nice, but nothing really going on but the beach...I LOVE Ochi, cyan just walk out and u in the middle of things...that hip strip is boring, where do u all hang out when u go there??? Ya'll talking bout places and i'm like where is that. I like mixing up with people when I go to JA.

I like going to the Dead End Beach in Mo Bay! Across the street, they have a likkle restaurant there and billards table wid music at night! It's nice, everyone a hang-out and enjoy the vibes. I also like Pier 1 or the club above The Pelican on a Friday night and The Ville on Thursday. A nice likkle club in Falmouth on Saturday night. Sunday we usually go to Sunday Breeze in Long Bay. I like MoBay...I am definitely a 'MoBay' Girl!

Negril was nice too! I REALLY LIKED Scrub-A-Dub/Striptease...that place was OFF THE HOOK! Trust me, if you go to Negril in the next few months tek yuh Man...they will appreci-RATE it!! Especially the Go-Go dancers....it's not gully or grimmy...it's just fun...wid good vibes. Ken dared me to stick a dollar bill inna dem g-string...he must have forgotten who he was wid. ..I went right up there and DID IT!! They also have a pool upstairs on the roof!

Bless,

Gill

Whats a family policy? Family policy versus what?

sorry, it`s a `household` policy I meant....covers your spouse and dependents in the house....Not sure if you have to have full coverage in order to have it.

How does one deal with SO's unrealistic expectations?

My husband does not have a degree, yet he thinks he is going to get some top dollar job. I have located several jobs, and each time he refuses to apply. I saw a position at Greyhound cleaning the bus. The pay is $9.48 per hour. What is the problem? I wouldn't pressure him as much if he was in school. Every time I make a suggestion, he says "Lemme do mi own ting." I am about to pull my hair out. He has his EAD and SS card; therefore, there is no excuse. Does any one have any suggestions/insight?

I don't really know what to tell him. Andre was bucking to get a job and once he got that GC and SSN, I couldn't hold him back. When he was looking, I did tell him not to be disappointed in any job he found. That, we needed his income since anything was better then the $0 he was getting at that point. I did ask that whatever job he got, he stayed at for at least a year just to make the resume look good.

I would say to never look at any job as beneath anyone. Honest work is just that and an income is an income. Plus, you never know where your next opportunity will come from.

I wish you luck.

Congrats Mrs. Scott! I can only wish that I can pay $6 to add Ray to my insurance when he comes to the states. I warned him already about not being able to drive crazy like they do in Jamaica. I told him that it's very hard to talk or pay your way out of a ticket in the states. He'll see when he gets here....

We added Andre to our car insurance and it did not got up at all. At this point, we only have one car and we have to share it; but still, I was surprised. State Farm.

My husbnd doesn't drive...thank God!! I wonder how much it'll be to add him to my insurance. he's gonna have to take a drivers training class here first. i think thats the best for him to get used to the roads.

just thought about this....do you know that sometimes i forget what side of the street to drive on?! its cause i have the image of Jamaican roads in my head sometimes so I have a quick lapse of memory and confusion when driving and at times I don't know what side of the street I should be on...i know crazy.

Mine didn't drive either. I taught him here. He took one driver's lesson to make sure I was teaching him things correctly. Took a while on the written part. He passed the driving part on the first try.

No, it doesn't have to be full coverage. We don't have full coverage.

Same here hubby took what ever he could get, wasn't picky at all, at one point he signed up to deliver phone books How can you deliver telephone books and you don't know your way around town? Not only that, he seems to find happiness with what ever it is he;s doing. Can you picture a man walking around a trailer park singing hymns in 30 degree weather delivering phone books.

Good Morning! TGIF!!!

Ok people don't kill me.

Don't feel too bad...I am way outta the loop as well I was only in Mo Bay for the airport and stayed for a night or 2 when they lost the luggage but other than that nothing. Never been to Negril. Been to Ochi more than anything but even then it wasn't much. The Island Grill, the mall, the movie place, KFC

Now when you all start talking about Spanish Town, May Pen, Town, Linstead, Mt. Rosser, Ewarton...I will be able to contribute I truly feel like a country girl!

Chica, you sure do sound like one! Ain't nothing wrong with DAT!!! Ken's Dad is in Linstead...I used to go there too as a kid! Always busy!!

Gill

True! I like being a country girl It has it's advantages too!

Yeah hubby was similar. He did a lot of odd jobs (construction/cleaning) until his EAD and then he got a job in a manufacturing plant and has been there ever since. Not necessarily what he was expecting but he likes it and the pay is decent. He did say he could never do fast food but that wasn't so much a pride but just disgust for fast food

I added him to our car insurance and it went up by a good amount - $50 a month. We have Allied. He didn't really drive before he got here although he did have his license (by alternative means ) I taught him and a buddy of his helped and he took one class to make sure the laws were completely understood.
