We only go out every few months.

Our car insurance went up alot to add Damien but Maryland has crazy laws He didn't have a DL in JA so he had to go to driving school with 16 year-olds.

I love MoBay too....Nyam N Jam is my favorite restaurant. I also love Smoky Joes downtown and the Pit Pork

I miss Mo Bay.

Kevin and I met at Doctor's Cave Beach. The Brewery is a party spot for the locals. Friday is the night to go to Pier I. Margaritaville is good on Thursday & Saturday. If you want to keep it low key, then go to Coral Cliffs and listen to some live music (2nd floor). Kevin got his Georgia driver's license today. It brek 'im hart fi leggo di Yardie license. I was also able to add hubby to my auto policy (only $6 increase for the next 6 months).

Wow...unnu really mek mi si seh mi is ah straight town pickney...Mi nuh knoa none ah di place dem unnu ah talk bout. When mi go ah Mobay, mi go ah Lilliput go look fi mi grandfather, Nankuh. I love the Pelican though because everytime we would go to Lucea to see my grandparents when I was a child, that's where we would always have breakfast every morning. My aunt works at Doctor's Cave Beach, though I have never visited there, go figure.

Kelia - why did Kevin have to give up him JA license? Is this something that GA does? Aaron didn't have to give his up at all.

Yeah, Pittsburgh is COLD from Nov - Feb but the tradeoff is we're still only 3-4 hour drive to MD, Philly, D.C. etc. The median home price is around $90,000 which works out to a really affordable mortgage and then like J.G. said....you get a HUGE tax break when u own property.

When I first got outta Grad school in Philly, I came back to Pgh. in 2000 and lived in a bunch of different apartments. Even in Pgh. my rent used to still be around $700 for a small one bedroom and i got tired of only having "one" closet! Finally, I bought the house in 2004 for around 70,000 and even though that's pretty cheap....I still landed a detached house with all those amenities and a lot of land. The taxes are like $1100 a year and the last time i looked, the homeowner's might of been around $40 a month or something. I live about a 5 minute drive to work and i'm in a neighborhood that's close to center city, all the stadiums, the casino and all the restaurants etc.

I'll be the first to say, Pgh lacks in the diversity department with only a small west-indian population but because it is cheaper, it's easier to do more with your money and own a whole bunch of rental properies. That's the direction I'm going in so I can keep getting that big tax right off since I don't have any kids and i'm done with school.

I just shaved a good $7,000 off my income by being able to write off that house on my taxes I would love to live somewhere else that has more going on (Pgh population only about 500,000 people) but at my age (37) I'm more worried about how soon I can retire than I'm worried about living somewhere more expensive.

Come on over ladies, I'll show you guys around!!!

Tonisha, I am ready to pack up the U-Haul and head to your neck of the woods; $1100 a year for property taxes are a dream here in South Florida. If you have lived in your house for the better part of 7 years here in Florida, you may still see your property taxes that cheap. And insurance for $40 a month that would be heaven. Mi ready fi di move :lol:

So you all remember that a few weeks ago I posted the story from the Jamaican Star about the demon possession in Manchester; how about I am reading the Gleaner this morning that it happened at one of the girls' school in Kingston? I think it was St. Andrews High or Holy Childhood since they mentioned that it occurred there about 10 years ago and I remember hearing about some things that happened up there. WTH is going on in JA??!!!

[jawi876 2]

My positive attitude has something to do with you Gill. you inspire me to look at things differently. Thanks again for a great listenin ear and the wonderful advice you always give

You and Gill are two of the most positive women I know.

HOMESICK is not the word! I'm crying with you. A and I had a small debate about why I still want to go back home when he is Canada. I guess he thinks all my vacation time should be spent with him in cold a$$ snowy Canada. ****Ssssshhh**** Don't tell him...but I'm going to Jamaica! What he doesn't know...won't hurt him.

[jawi876 2]

YES! LET'S GO

I'm from Pittsburgh but if u know anything about the Pittsburgh - New England rivalry then you know I gotta go with the Giants!

I hope I can convert my SO from soccer to NFL! Yeah Right...

ya good luck with that.... :lol: mike only got into football this year....i was so suprised how he started talking about the best QB's and running backs....

Andre called me as I was driving home from work last night and told me he had a surprise for me.

I walked in the back door to see the table set with candles, fruit, vegetable, and leave decorations, plates of dinner foods, snacks, drinks, and desserts. He set us up a superbowl party.

I didn't think he would even remember the Superbowl from last year.....the first football game he had ever seen.

SWEET!!!

[jawi876 2]

OK GUYS YOU KNEW THIS WAS COMING...

*******GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*********

GO GIANTS!!!

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PROUD OF MY BOYS...THEY PLAYED THEIR BLOODCLEAT HEARTS OUT!!!!!!

THEY EARNED THIS WIN...IT THE BEST GAME IN MY 22 YEAR GIANTS FAN HISTORY!!

I gained a a super bowl title but...lost a fiance!! Ken happened to call in the last 2 minutes of the game and I was SCREAMING, CUSSING AND CARRYING-ON BADDDDDDDDDDD!!!

I didn't even talk to him...just would scream what was happening into the phone and how I felt about! All my Baby saidwas

"Bwoy, mi neva realize yuh a tek yuh Giants suh SERIOUS!!! BLOODC**T is wat mi a really git miself inna Lawd! Wat deh 'ell...Go Giants!!!" I had him and my sons chanting "YES...WE...CAN!!!"

Hopefully, my other underdog (Obama) will do just as well tomorrow!

Bless-ed,

Gill
