OK...my turn to rant!!

I have been fuming for a few days now and I just gotta let it out!

Ok, as many of you know I live with my Father and my boys on LI, NY. I have been saving for Ken to come-up and move out...I figured about late June/early July.

WE ASKED KEN'S AUNT (Who lives in the Bronx) if he could stay with her until we save up enough $$ to move out! WE asked her even before we filed..."Of course...you're my sister's son...where else would you stay ray tay tay!!" We asked in July...December when we got our NOA2....in February ...when we got a date. "No problem"...EVERY-BLOODCLAAT TIME!!!

Ok, so Ken calls her on Thursday to let har knoa wi git through...wat does dis blasted ooman seh..."Well, mi pickney dem (18 & 22) kindda get big now and mi nuh tink mi ave deh space!!!!

AWATDEHBUMBARASCLAAT YUH A TALK BOUT!?

She never knew she didn't ave deh space inna HENNY of the prior months dem!

Yuh doan know wi arready...Wi diddna drive wid NO frigging license...through Chalky bloodclaat Hill...bus our ras fi jump through deh TEN million embassy hoop dem fi git our approval fuh give hup now!

Suh, now I am running around trying to find em a place fuh em tuh stay til wi can move out!

Ken is SO hurt...not b/c she said no...but b/c this is his FAVORITE Auntie...When yuh ear em talk bout har...yuh wouldda tink she walk pon wata! I told em..."Baby, let this be you're first lesson bout Farrin...wat people tell yuh inna JA....is a different ting when yuh reach up yehso!"

Wat pisses mi off...is yuh see other cultures and people come to this country and reach FAR!!! Its b/c dem knoa seh...if yuh give someone a start...it mus come back tuh yuh! So many of my Indian students are staying with friends of a friend of a friend (deh whole bloodcleat house jam packed....but dem nuh business wid dat!)...dem a guh to school! Bwoy, sometimes we can be our own worse enemy!

It's ok...deh devil is always working ...but so is deh Lawd and I KNOA we are BLESSED and something will happen!

Just pray fuh us fi find someting Sistrens...that's all I can seh!

Love ya'll,
Gill

I feel you on that Gill. Maybe when she was promising, so did not expect him to get through. I can't understand us Jmaicans, we do not take care of our own. Also look at the Hatians them, how so much of them pack up in a small apartment or house until each one makes it on their own and then they turn around and help another. We should really take at look at how they live and take a page out of their book.

I really hope she changes her mind, because it will be less stress on you financially. Just keep praying and we have you in our thoughts and prayers.

Much love
Claire

Claire, I agree with you on this issue. It's the african-american culture period. We just don't want to see the other person succeed. It's really a shame. If we could just stick together like other cultures, life fo us would be awesome. I was thinking the same as you when you said maybe his aunt didn't think they would get through the process. If I were Ken, I would be hurt also. I hope things work out for Gill.

********Off topic (why the HELL are the Plus size swimsuits so FRIGGIN UGLY!).

i'm trying to go to the hairdresser...why is her phone always off, i wanted to be on the way back home already..cha

I so wanted to make stewed chicken today..but i only make it with skinless chicken...and for the record yes, i am too dyam lazy to be pulling skin offa chicken in my old age

girl i haven't bought a regualr bathing suit in so long, i forget where i bought them...sorry can't remember

Girl, I just finished washing and rolling mine. It is darn long my shoulders are hurting from extending them so high. Since I moved from NYC, I haven't found a good hairdresser to do my hair. I tried the Dominicans, but all they know how to do is blowdry your hair. That I don't want. Iam comfortable just washing and rolling and brushing out. I also don't like the commercial products they use, gives me flaky scalp and breaks my hair. I use Mizani products in my hair and even if I take it to them, so don't want to use my products, even when I offer to pay the same.

I just dedicate a half a day to do my hair. I am relaxing now before that two hour sitdown under the drier.

Mawnin Lawny,

Did you check in Target? Last year they had some cute swimsuits... Also, don't sleep on Kmart, because they had some nice swimsuits with the cover-ups that matched.

They make everything plus sized ugly. I don't wear swimsuits, don't like the beach or immersing myself in any body of water other than my bath-tub.

i bought some Mizani this morning, conditioners and a nighttime cream, i like their stuff also, wish they had a no-lye version, i'm allergic to lye

no lye is extremely drying to the hair

Girl go buy that Coach purse. Sounds so nice and pretty!! The wallet sounds good to like Shauna said.

Did you gals ever show your budgets to your husbands? I did when he first got here and that helped us. I did buy him a few things. Like a computer for school and his car so he could get there. But he hasn't asked for anything and is so on top of this budget. I think that might also be because we have a baby on the way. The best plus I ever did was get rid of the credit cards before he got here so we wouldn't go into debt.

Shauna @ Congrats on the arrival of the green card yesterday. Wow that took forever...

Gill @ Sorry to hear about your situation may their be something better in your guys future.

Shem @ if your reading this as a guest now you will be missed. Maybe we will cross paths in JA this August. It was wonderful talking to you and finding out that our hubbies were neighbors. And all the best on receiving the 10 year green card.

Good afternoon Ladies!!!

Well we just got our tax refund now I am trying to stay in budget on planning or trip to Montego Bay. I am use to buying for one now I have to buy for three.

I might have to look for four hubby invited our neighbor who use to live in Mo Bay for one year.

I should ask my girlfriend to go with me but I don't know how much fun I would be with a baby.

Oh cool I am going to go look at those swim suits. I am worried I wont loss this weight I gained by July.

Talking about fish that is making me hungry. Our cousin is going to take us the Jamaican Grocery store in the next 2 weeks. He is also going to make us dinner and teach us how to cook

. I can't wait. I am glad we found out he has a cousin only an hour away.

My 5 year old ask me when my hubby's going back to JA. I asked why he say cause he's too mean I want my real daddy back...I told him he could forget it..it won't happen..he said huh??

My 13year old broke down crying once and said..How am I supposed to follow all these rules all of a sudden....did she mek me look like an asss or what??

Yup heard that before and my son is 5. now he's asking when is he coming back

go figure

your 13 yr old made it seem like she was doing what she want before he came...that is too funny

Yep I say that because sometimes you don't realize how much we are actually letting them get away with stuff until someone on the outside is looking in and with my working and going to school all the time, hubby pointed out things I never thought about before or just didn't make time.

My turn to rant!! My husband has been talking about getting a I-Phone for a while, he has a phone and really doesn't need it other than the fact that he's into the whole style thing

We've gone back and forth about it for months now. Well today he calls me and tells me that he has something for me and to call him when I'm on my way home from work so he can be there when I get home cause he wanted to spend some time with me before he goes to his second job... Need I say I burned the freeway down getting home

I get here before him he comes in and gives me some money and tells me to pay off my credit card with it and spend the rest on myself. Then he tells me that one of his friends ordered a I-Phone for him... Next thing I know I see him pugging it in to charge

My whole mood changed to pissed off!!! The way he said it to me ws like it was on order, not that he had gotten one! I felt like tha was one of those quiet as kept things! I told him if you can have a I-Phone then I can have a new purse!! He had the nerve to try to protest!!

I'm sure you guys are wondering WHY I got mad about it....

1. That thing cost toooo dyam much if you ask me!!
2. Whenever I mention wanting to go buy a new Coach purse he has a fit and say... Nuh chat bout Bloodclat purse tuh mi!! yuh already haffi nuf purse dem inna deh closet, nuh sar mi nuh gwan fe spend suh much on waan bag!!!

We planned to go out shopping tomorrow to buy a few things... Guess what I'll be getting... Thats right a brand new COACH bag!!

He is going to drop dead but thats ok cause while he chats on his new phone, I'll be swinging my purse

Don't blame you or wondering why you are mad about it...I guess we all gone be sportin new coach bags

. Those are very expensive and yes the fees alone are going to kill him on the monthy bill. one of the reasons why I descided against it, it has all these features you have to pay extra for just to use. It is funny tho...that must be some friend...I thought it was cute how he paid of the credit card and gave you the rest tho.. soo gwaan go get yo bag

Does it matter if you owe taxes every year? What exactly is it that they want to see? Also, is there a certain amount of money you should have in your bank account? I only plan on providing information on one of my bank accounts, but was wondering if I need to provide information on all three. This of course is whenever I get to this point. Just curious....

Depends upon how much you make Sunny. One interviewer did take those returns...SERIOUSLY!! She was like your SO OWES ALOT of TAXES EVERY YEAR and is barely able to take care of herself...

Just open an ING account now and start throwing whatever you can into! I get $$ back but my savings was pitiful. That's what I did...but they didn't even ask for the blasted bank statement!!!

Bless,Gill

Thanks Gill,

I'm not too worried... Just because you owe taxes doesn't mean you can't take care of yourself, so I don't know where they got that from. lol For me, I simply prefer to have my money during the year. It's a shame you spend all that time preparing all your paperwork and then they don't even ask for it. Well, at least you saved some money girl...lol

LOL......Yeah, i thought that was kinda weird too cause plenty of people owe taxes who can certainly take care of themselves

They just didn't tax themselves hard enough over the course of the year and stuff like that but it still wouldn't change how much they EARNED for that year.

Guess that was the interviewer's way of trying to "imply" that anyone who owes taxes might be someone who has some sort of financial problems etc.....Probably wasn't the best thing to say LOL

Lawny,

Did u check Macy's or Kohl's? I wear a 12 and I always find sizes 12 and up over at Kohl's....u know how u gotta get a 14 when u wear a 12 and a 16 when u wear a 14 (

No, the interviewer was being an rass. I don't understand why they even mentioned anything about it if she was above poverty level, otherwise it's none of thier business.

Good morning my beautiful SITAHS!

Heavenly father you sure are moving fast this year. As we enter the third week in March please bless my sisters dear God. I ask that you watch over those that have interviews this week and that you guide the CO as they go through each case. Lord, I ask that you enable those that need to work out personal problems in their lives that you will give them the STRENGTH to do so. I know the DEVIL has his plans, but as long as we keep you near and dear to our hearts he has no bearings. The DEVIL cannot touch us or derail us from the plans that the Almighty has set forth.

My Lord, I ask that you still watch over all the precious pregnancies and I thank you for blessing KIMMY so that she's able to eat something. I ask that you touch Gill dear God as she has come upon a stump in the road. Please carry her and bless her and Ken as the take the next steps in their wonderful and blessed life together. I just want to thank you for standing over the Embassy last week and guiding her and Ken through the process; and all the other that had interviews that day. Lord, I ask that you remain with Marla and Jason as they too have come upon a stump in the road. Lord, please order their steps, so that Jason can be with his beautiful wife. Lord, I ask that you bring Jengs hubby back safely to the states and Lord, please watch over her children. Lord, please lay your hand Browning and make her better, healthier and stronger.

TONISHA....Lord, her big day is comming. Help her to remain focused.

Lord, for all my other sisters, I asked on my bended knees that you watch over them. Protect us and guide us from any obstacles that may be in our way. Give us the STRENGTH to push them down, dear God. Give us the STRENGTH dear god...give us the STRENGTH.

All these things I/we pray, in Jesus precious name. Amen.

Girl go buy that Coach purse. Sounds so nice and pretty!! The wallet sounds good to like Shauna said.

Did you gals ever show your budgets to your husbands? I did when he first got here and that helped us. I did buy him a few things. Like a computer for school and his car so he could get there. But he hasn't asked for anything and is so on top of this budget. I think that might also be because we have a baby on the way. The best plus I ever did was get rid of the credit cards before he got here so we wouldn't go into debt.

Shauna @ Congrats on the arrival of the green card yesterday. Wow that took forever...

Gill @ Sorry to hear about your situation may their be something better in your guys future.

Shem @ if your reading this as a guest now you will be missed. Maybe we will cross paths in JA this August. It was wonderful talking to you and finding out that our hubbies were neighbors. And all the best on receiving the 10 year green card.

Good afternoon Ladies!!!

Well we just got our tax refund now I am trying to stay in budget on planning or trip to Montego Bay. I am use to buying for one now I have to buy for three.

I might have to look for four hubby invited our neighbor who use to live in Mo Bay for one year.

I should ask my girlfriend to go with me but I don't know how much fun I would be with a baby.

Oh cool I am going to go look at those swim suits. I am worried I wont loss this weight I gained by July.

Talking about fish that is making me hungry. Our cousin is going to take us the Jamaican Grocery store in the next 2 weeks. He is also going to make us dinner and teach us how to cook

. I can't wait. I am glad we found out he has a cousin only an hour away.

Yes, on the budget thing. It was the only thing that helped him realize what I was saying. He's really good at asking how much money is left over this check if he really wants something. He's also gotten very good at knowing when the stores have end of season clearance.

The thing with that is it is none of their business if you have financial problems or not. If they wanted to check that, they should make it a rule to have to have a credit report first. The rules state you have to MAKE the 125% over the poverty level or have enough other assets to cover that amount. Nothing else.
