Mi dehyah...my mom best friend of 46 years died. She went to the hospital complaining of a head ache and she coded and was placed on a ventilator. Nothing was wrong with her. Not a thing. I spoke to her for the last 3 days, becuase I was putting a trip together for her and some of her friends. JENGS I know you've warned me about STRESS and I'm telling you my mom and I think that she was so stressed out that her body couldn't take the emotional load anymore. We picked up her family at the airport and we all stood there when they turned off the machine.

Let me tell you...when this woman would pray (she's part of my mom's prayer circle) which they've had for 15 years. When she prays, IT CAN MOVE MOUNTAIN. If her words don't move you, it will make you jump up to your feet. I use to joke with her and tell her we didn't want her to bless the food becaue we would all starve to death by the time she finish her prayer. You could feel the STRENGTH in her words when she would say a prayer.

Why thank you!
We had no problems getting it just before we were married.

Thanks sus!!

NBESAW link mi in PM please

Yes He is!! Thank you so much!





Thanks Sonshyne!!

Morning all - I am at work, but really really don't want to be here!!!!!!!!! I have a sore throat and if I get sick again I will scream (well, maybe not since my throat hurts!)

Lawny, sorry for your loss

Thanks sus. Love you MEEKs

You know sometimes it just better to let things go, even though it may hurt like hell, we can't solve all problems and not everything can be worked out. My heart goes out to her family and your mother.

those are my thought exactly!!!! i think planning things out is a great idea...but ooohh how quickly things can change and are forgotten...


so sorry to hear that....

Thanks girl. And I agree. I took me years to learn to let things go. As my grandmother would say, Let go and Let God.

Good Morning Yardies

Lawny I am so sorry to hear about your loss. She sounded like a strong woman of faith and I am sure she will be greatly missed by many. As hard as it is take comfort knowing that she is now with our heavenly Father enjoying the blessings

true dat, but sometimes we tink God is taking too long and he needs a little help.

Have a great day Sunny



I agree with every single word of this post

YARDIE -- To cure my HEAT I had a double shot of EXPRESSO this morning for Starbucks and I think I'm going to lose my mind. I don't know how the hell people drink that everyday.

I can't stand the taste of coffee but I know what you mean about the caffeine thing. All I have to do is take a couple sips of an energy drink and I go crazy. I can't handle the caffeine at all. So did it cure your heat?

Mawning Yardies,

How is everyone today?

Lawny, I am so sorry for your loss. I, too think that stress is underrated...it can do some serious damage to your body & mind! I TRY to keep it in check...but these days it can be hard!

We have paid the $$ and this woman said bring a car and drive fuh a likkle bit...presto whamo we give you a receipt and you should be able to pick up your license before you leave!

ooohhh Gill....when things happend like this with mike i would be so close to driving myself to the looney bin....i remember when mike had to go drop off the co-sponser papers(this was before you had to schedule another day)and the embassy decided to not let anyone else in or something like that....and i was sssoo pissed(already bought him a plane ticket)and told him he needed to tell them what the deal was...that he just needed to drop of papers...and he just didn't want to pleed his case....i remember i was SO mad.....so i know how you feel...just try to calm down a likkle bit and everything will work out...

Thanks Chica...I SO NEEDED TO HEAR THAT!!!!

Much love ,

Gill

I can totally relate. I think a lot of it comes down to the way things are dealt with in the different countries. We all know that JA is pretty laid back for the most part. Here in the states things seem to be more cutthroat and dog eat dog. You have to fight to be heard and to get things here. So I think it is engrained in us from the states to fight for what we want and be two steps ahead of the game where as in JA it is kinda the "go with the flow" philosophy.

I hope you get some calm days ahead of you...this whole immigration thing is one giant stress

Gill, this is just crazy. But, please mi a beg you calm down...all I need to hear now is you or any one of my sisters on here droping down. And why didn't Ken fuss with the the man. You have to fight for your MONEY especially in JAMAICA! Him need fi learn fi put dung him FOOT!...America is not EASY! So, im bettah start from yard. That is just pure (*&##W$ #$ now mi bex...but girl please try STAY calm...

In October I dropped down at work from my EX driving me NUTS!...so mi a beg you again...try tek it easy.

OKKKK, so u went from being in heat to being hyper and in heat???



Yuh know, sometimes patwah makes my eyes hurt

lawny,

for the most part i speak my mind..but some ppl act like dem life perfect..everybody here must know mine not perfect by now...it's not the worse but wi no perfect..

Show mi the "man" with a perfect relationship and i'll show u'll a liar..so mi lef sometings more time..

by di way mi a go lef dis yah thread tuh cause ppl a ignore mi...baxide..Jengs weh u deh, Gilli mi si yuh earlier..lawny yea ! i guess that's my click

oonuh don't falla mi yaaw mi head a go !!

I posted about the driving thing a while back, most people in j.a. just get a liscence by passing a reading test, some of them learn to drive after the get the liscence, maybe that is why the guy did that.

wan nes JG deh bout

where do u live??? I'm coming to knock you down. lol bout u a leff the thread hahaha

Man I looked at that, and my eyes went

where did Lawny go?? she must be on the highway coming to box mi down..but before she do, I'm going to have to big her a ride to Kimmy's first.

She a come look fi di 2 a WI..FEGET BOUT GETTING A RIDE..HOW MI GO FROM SMALL TO CAPS..mi tell ooonuh mi head a go !!

Honestly, I don't think it's gotten better yet. There is always another form to fill out and another frustrating day to deal with where if you hear the word immigration or green card one more time, you are going to scream. Today, the word of the day is "passport".

I have learned that it hasn't killed me yet, Gill, and that I am a whole lot stronger and smarter then I ever thought I was.

You can do this. Stay strong and take lots of deep breaths!

Ladies, ever see something in your children and u know they got it from you?? little miss has zero patience, and i have to take responsibilty for that

Oh KimKim you say it so perfectly!

Lawny I know you didn't direct it at me but let me just say this...there is a whole lot of sh!t that goes on behind the scenes. A TON to be more precise - if you have noticed there has been a lot of people leaving the thread - this is precisely why. I wouldn't have a problem giving out personal details and sharing my life if I knew that people on here were genuine and truly my friends. To hear about the stuff that is being said about you and your relationship behind your back by your so called "yardie family" well it gets old and it's sad and immature. I guess I am just sick of giving fodder to those that like to call, email or PM others to mock, ridicule or demean me and others and what we choose to share. So I am choosing not to share anymore - as have many others. Those that are truly my friends keep in contact with me by other means and know what is going on in my life, it is as simple as that. Karma is a b!tch and to those people that don't think word is out that you are full of sh!t...well sorry but the jig is up. No need to name names...we all know who you are.

I like that...the word of the day.

yes !! oh yes !!..my daughte says whatever is on her mind...I wake up in the morning she's in MY bed..sh ecome wid her brite elf.."mommy ewww, ur mouth" couldn't do nuttin but laugh

kinda like sesame street with the letter and number of the day..... i can SO relate....

Yeah I notice that some people don't share but like to ask questions and poke, i try and keep those people at arms length. I just want to learn and poke fun and Kimmy and Lawny (because they can take my jokes). I feel if i can help someone that will help mi prosper.

lunch is calling me. Lawny yuh home and have a stomache ache and all?? but lunch finish yet??

Mindy is having a hell of a time with renewing Roy's passport. They have sent 2 different sets of pictures in via NY consulate and both have been returned from JA as not the right pictures......Walgreens & Wal-Mart. The word is they have to go to The Picture People and have them make high resolution pictures. Something about JA and the high rate of fraud.

Anyhow, to hear her tell it, is giving me a headache today. She's been trying to renew for the last 2 months.

We need to renew Andre's by the end of the year. Now, I'm worried.

I think its a hug Kimmy day!



that is crazy!! but I can belive it about the fraud.

wow she has to go to the picture people....that is so crazy.....i'm sure my head would be hurting too....

jENGS YUH NO A FIESTY DI BLASTED PICKNEY FIESTY !!

I believe it too, Jengles. But, how many of us have our passport pictures taken at Walgreens? I don't understand what is so terrible about them and what the difference really is, except for the hassles involved.

IT'S ALWAys something..mek mi sick..!!

That is so messed up! So what happens if you don't have a Picture People in your area?

i have been stuck with one heart for the longest time....i want my 2nd.....

where's rhonda at??? i hope everything is ok.....

That is why I am praying for all boys

Oh my gosh, you guys have filled almost 40 pages since Thursday!!! There's no way I'm going to catch up. I'm really busy at work today. Just wanted to check in and say hello and hope everyone had a Happy Easter

I'm posting a pic of Monique in her little Easter dress

Hey JG~ Was it you who said they take Zyrtec for allergies? I am gonna try taking the pills cause my allergies are killing me but I was wondering if you had any side effects? Think I should wait til the weekend to try just in case it messes me up? I am always so nervous taking new meds.
