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.


Zyrtec made me sleepy - Have you ever tried a Neti pot? I have really really bad sinus problems - I have taken just about every pill you can - My allergist recommended using the neti pot - I swear, I am so much better - I use it daily, plus use saline spray -

Wow that is really interesting. I will have to look into doing that. I have taken tons of pills and nothing seems to work all that well. Thanks for the info smile.gif

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.


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



That I don't know. But, we are about to find out cause Mindy said they don't have one near her. Luckily, for me, we have one at a nearby mall. She said the consulate suggested the picture people or find a photographer that uses high resolution.

I do take Zyrtec every day. I take them in the morning without any side effects. If you go to Wal-mart, they had a 45 day supply of generic Zyrtec for something like $18. Beat the hell out of my co-pay when they were prescription.....$45 a month.

I was just paging through some posts and the part about the passport pictures caught my eye - what's the deal with renewing the passport? Should I tell me fiance to renew his passport before he leaves Jamaica. I believe he said his was good for another two years.

Oh KimKim you say it so perfectly! good.gif

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.


Lawd......but we seem so luving... well, no mind dem...mi love your JOKES...they help me a lot ESPECIALLY in my time of HEAT...like now, I'm so damn hyper. I was gone for a while because walked 26 blocks into Georgetown and back and I didn't even bus a sweat. It's cold outside. That damn EXPRESSO is quicking my butt.

I helped Anthony's father do the paperwork to renew his passport 2 years ago and he drove all over the place trying to get just the right photo. The Picture People are the only ones they would accept, even though I couldn't tell the difference between their's and Sears! Just hit them first - don't waste your time with anyone else.

i would say it wouldn't be a bad idea....not only so it will last longer but to update the photo depending on how young he was when he got his passport....mike was a little boy when he got his passport and it was recomended to him that he get a new passport because he obviously is not a boy anymore....

Well here is what I know so far............

I downloaded a form from the NY JA consulate. We have to send it back to them, along with something like $90, and any documentation they ask for, and they will send it on to JA. JA will then send it back to us through the consulate. You need 2 passport style pictures and that is where Mindy is having the trouble. Right now, she is over 2 months waiting for the passport. When it comes, it will be a machine readable one.

If it were me, and you could renew it in JA, I would do it in JA. It's got to be easier then all this.

We had intended on going back to JA and him renewing it then; but since that isn't going to happen before it expires, it has to be this way. Wish we had done it before he left 2 years ago.

Zyrtec made me sleepy - Have you ever tried a Neti pot? I have really really bad sinus problems - I have taken just about every pill you can - My allergist recommended using the neti pot - I swear, I am so much better - I use it daily, plus use saline spray -

I saw that thing on Oprah one day. It makes me cringe to think about using it. I suppose if it really works, I should just be more open minded about it. I just don't know, though.


Holy crap I just watched a clip on Youtube and while I couldn't hear the sounds just see the images alone helpsmilie.gif I am suppose to be getting injections but I am deadly afraid of injections and needles so that is a definite no go for me no0pb.gif I will definitely have to think about this neti pot thing...all that I have read seems positive.

I was just paging through some posts and the part about the passport pictures caught my eye - what's the deal with renewing the passport? Should I tell me fiance to renew his passport before he leaves Jamaica. I believe he said his was good for another two years.

Thanks!



Well here is what I know so far............

I downloaded a form from the NY JA consulate. We have to send it back to them, along with something like $90, and any documentation they ask for, and they will send it on to JA. JA will then send it back to us through the consulate. You need 2 passport style pictures and that is where Mindy is having the trouble. Right now, she is over 2 months waiting for the passport. When it comes, it will be a machine readable one.

If it were me, and you could renew it in JA, I would do it in JA. It's got to be easier then all this.

We had intended on going back to JA and him renewing it then; but since that isn't going to happen before it expires, it has to be this way. Wish we had done it before he left 2 years ago.


Can the JA embassy in DC provide any information?

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.



DYAM DYAM DYAM!!! blink.gif Ken's Passport expires in January 09!!!!! unsure.gif Great...someting else fi look forward too!!!! wacko.gif

All I can do is...laughing.gif laughing.gif laughing.gif

Well, Mindy is doing it now. Once I learn what to avoid from her mistakes, hopefully, I'll have a smoother time later this year.....maybe summer. By the time you send for Ken's, we should be experts on what NOT to do.

I helped Anthony's father do the paperwork to renew his passport 2 years ago and he drove all over the place trying to get just the right photo. The Picture People are the only ones they would accept, even though I couldn't tell the difference between their's and Sears! Just hit them first - don't waste your time with anyone else.

You can find out information on all the embassy web sites.....D.C., NY, Miami, and Chicago. But you can only use one to send off for the passport. If you send it to the others, they will just forward it on to......and I want to say NY; but now you have me wondering if I should be saying D.C. The info. is at home right now. When I do send it off, I will tell you exactly what I did and if it works for clarification.

No one can provide any information from a live person. Mindy's been calling for weeks, leaving messages and never getting any responses. I think she finally got an e-mail response after about 10 tries.

Yes girl. That was 11 years ago. My voice was VERY VERY deep. Men thought it was sexy, but I hated it. So, I went to this Chinese doctor whose wife specialized in acupunture and that was it. My voice is still a little deep, but nothing like before and I was able to breathe better and no more sinus infections. I think I spent $125 for the treatments.

JG --

I'm going to get someone at my job to call the Jamaican embassy here in DC. It's up the street from where I work. I would call myself, but me and them don't agree. They don't have any FRIGGIN manners. Like I was begging them anything a few months ago. I was just trying to get information on sending a body back home home and getting an expedited passport. The woman was so rude and I could not hold it, so I cussed her out infront of her supervisor who was much of a bigger EDIATTTTTTTT. The entire time, my friend was standing there in tears. His father had died a few days earlier and this woman was rude to him so we went up there. If you find out anything, please let me know.

I don't think she's a doctor. She's an acunpunturist and a physical therapist...but she uses Chinese medicine. Let me also tell you this, she gave me some tea to drink, I had to fit into a bridesmaid dress and it was just a little snug and I had 7 days before the wedding. I don't know what it is, but I lost 10 pounds in those 5 days and I was eating 3 meals a day and not exercising. As soon as I ate and had to go. I never tried it again, I was too scared.

I went for accupuncture after a car accident - The doctor put needles in my back, covered me with a blanket, and put a heat lamp on then turned out the lights - I went sound asleep, to the point that I woke up drooling, lol - Felt like heaven

Mindy says he is having a photo shoot at Sears and they are going to accept those pics or else. I hope that works for her.

For clarification..........Mindy did say it is NY you have to send them through. She said the pictures MUST be taken in high resolution and they suggest The Picture People. And, that JA is the one that keeps sending her pictures back saying they aren't correct.

I need to vent. 8 weeks ago, my supervisors at work told me I would be on 2nd (afternoon) shift when I came back to work. Then, ONE week before I was due back, they moved me to 1st shift INDEFINATELY mad.gif because one of our suppliers is on strike and a bunch of people are laid off. Now I'm still on 1st shift, and no one can give me any info when I'll be going to 2nd. All my plans and arrangements for day care are for 2nd shift. So, Tony has been home with Monique but he's losing his mind and has to go back to work. Plus, we're broke! We need that extra income. So, I don't know what to do. I desperately want to find a new job but I can't find one that pays anything close to this one (that I'm actually qualified for!)

That's the thing JENGS. It never made my stomach hurt or anything. You just go to the bathroom almost immediately or within the hour. She says a lot of young girls abuse it, because it keeps them thin. But it's only suppose to be used for 30 days or less. It's to jump start your weight loss, but some people stay on it for months. She CLAIMS it does not damage the body and she's used it for years and been recommending it for years.
