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!
Like right now I feel my blood pressure creeping up! Ken just called me...he was suppose to go for his driving test today! We have paid the $$ and this woman said bring a car and drive fuh a likkle bit...presto whamo we give you a receipt and you should be able to pick up your license before you leave!
Hmmmm, what was it that JG said about best laid plans.... So, he goes down there and this man calls Ken and give him a book to read! Ok, after we paid the $$ we were suppose to be able to skip this part! Ken tells the man he is confused and the man tells Ken to come back on...APRIL 24th!!!
Mi jus tell Ken look yuh haffi guh pressure deh people yuh pay deh $$ tuh! Mek dem knoa seh yuh knoa pay yuh HARD-EARNED dollas fi dis phockery!!

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!
I like that...the word of the day.
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.
wow she has to go to the picture people....that is so crazy.....i'm sure my head would be hurting too....
My husbands friend realized his was expired right before his trip to JA, they went anyways and he renewed it while he was there. If push comes to shove for Mindy I'll ask him what happened.
Do you think he could do that without his passport? Her problem now is they are planning an August trip and his passport is in the hands of the Jamaican consulate. I hope they get it by then.
It should take about six weeks. I think the fees include fedex to and from jamaica
