Hey Clairern,

I knew you would get a May interview!! Congrats and all the best.

Make sure that you get the IR-1

! I remember last year they asked if I wanted the K-3 and I said oh no we are here for the CR-1. Are you going down for the interview? You guys will do great cause you have been together forever. I am so happy for you guys

.

Hey Kimmy yeah I can't believe its almost been a year either. I feel like I was in Claires shoes a year ago. I can't believe we have made it this far and next year we will be renewing for a ten year card.

Good Morning Everyone!!

Lawny, where u at?? Feeling better??

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.

I am sorry to hear about the loss! Stress can do it or it can make you land in a mental ward for sure if you don't take care of it. She is in my prayers.

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.

What are you supposed to do if there isn't one near you? They don't even have locations in Michigan!

Thank goodness Tony's passport is still good for a few more years.

That was what I was going to say we don't have those places in IL. Good thing HD's is still pretty new. Now I need to get my renewed. I hate how I look in my new passport photos. I have pudgier checks being pregnant. ugh

QUOTE(rhondapayter @ Mar 25 2008, 02:28 PM)

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

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!)

Can you talk to some one higher up and tell them you had planned on second shift and have a babysitter planned around that schedule. Plus that is hard to find a sitter for a new baby. I hope things turn around for you. I know about the $ thing I am already stressing out. Especially when my brothers girlfriend told me she was pregnant again I asked if she could handle her new born and 2 year old with my 7 month old and she said she could do it. I sure hope so because family is always best. Thank goodness my retired aunt will baby sit for 2 weeks when her little one is born. I can't wait for hubby to graduate.

Wishing you all the best Rhonda. I hope someone will understand what you are going threw at work. Would someone be willing to switch with you? From 2nd to 1st shift?

Know I really need to start cleaning this house UGH!! I have ladies coming over to help me decorate the babies room tomorrow afternoon and put the little ones furniture together. I need to finish my crafts to that I picked up from Michaels Craft store. Then I need to start on sub plans. 6 weeks worth oh boy its going to be a book. I can't believe I have to now see the doctor every week. I hate showing movies to my students every time I go to the doctor but I haven't been able to find a sub who can sing, play recorder and dance. My sub who is finishing the year off for me said she is showing musicals. Next year at least I won't be Mrs. Movie queen. I really need to get a dvd player. All the movies are now on dvd and I am still in the stone age.

Everyone have a good night.

Does your SO get mad if you correct them when the mispronounce a word or something along that line? I just left Sears with my friend and her husband and he's ask one of the sales person for help. So, the salesman ask him where the item was that he had a question about he kept saying OVAHSO! The guy was like excuse, sir, I didn't get that. My friend husband replies...it DEH OVAHSO! Again, the poor salesman replies, sir, I don't understand what your saying LET ME GET SOMEONE THAT SPEAKS SPANISH. (You know I was laughing my A$$ off at that point). So, I told my girlfriend husband that he have to speak so people can understand him and that to remember we speak ENGLISH in Jamaica and that no everybody understand PATWAH. He is so friggin INGNORANT it's UNREAL. So, we start talk to the salesman and im walk weh BEX an a mex up im face...bway mi a tell you im attitude alone woudah mad mi.

I'm glad we are on the adjustment topic - that's my biggest worry about Anthony. We have spent countless hours on the phone talking about it and I'm trying to explain to him the differences in US and JA, especially because of the "bush" I live in. He doesn't quite understand there is no bus or taxi to hop on. Even my daughter (who just turned 6) is worried that he will come with his shorts on when we still have snow!! But so far he has the right attitude about it, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. But I will galdly take any suggestions you gals through at me......

Experience will be his teacher. Many things he will just have to learn on his own. Too much talk and you start to sound like his mother. No man wants that. Good luck!

Soooo tru Kimmy! I haven't gone through the process yet but my cousin came up in November on a K1 visa and he HATES it here. He said the country is TOOO different from Jamaica and he wants to go back, but he's willing to try his best and do what he can for his wife. Personally, I plan on moving back to JA soon as I have enough money saved up. Everytime I go home my family says "me a dead if mi nuh reach farrin". I have to tell them NOWHERE in the world is a bed of roses.

Girl, they just don't know. I tell my people AMERICA is not JOKE! It no EASY! But, you have to be willing to try. My fiance had no INTENTIONS at all to ever come here, but it just happened that we ran into each other and fell in love. We discussed the adjustment process a lot, but I told him, he won't know until he gets here and starts working and gets into the American way of life. I told him, if it's too much for him to handle I'll go back with him. It's easy for me to say that, because that's been my plan for many years.

DJ and I had this discussion on my last trip - Because as much as I love JA, I am 99.9% sure that I could not live there year round - for a variety of reasons, mainly because I don't think I can be that far away from my family - I just feel that it would be tough to earn a good enough income that I would be able to hop a plane at will to come home for a visit or in an emergency - Living in the US, it would be easier to do it by hopping a plane to JA. My family has been through a lot of loss in the past few years, and those of us that remain have been brought closer together by it - I couldn't be so far from my mom (would break her heart) or miss so much of my nephews lives. D is close to his Mom, but by phone only - he hadn't seen her in two years before my last trip. I told him that I could easily move to a warmer climate, but within the US and it would have to be after he was here and we were established - reality is, I make a good living, and we will need that in the beginning. Ultimately, I would love to have a good enough income (win the lottery, whatever, lol) that we would be able to live between both places - spend the winters in JA, summers here.

Immigrating and adjusting is no joke - three of my closest friends moved here from South Africa, Scotland, and Ireland - Even coming from countries that are somewhat similar to ours in educational systems, etc... they all had a hard time adjusting - My friend from SA went from being a straight A student to getting Ds in English - all because of the style by which she wrote = I used to help her to edit her papers, and she went back to an A student - but it was hard for her. I know someone else who came up on a K1, was married a few years, and divorced - his ex did everything for him, and he didn't learn how to do anything for himself. When they split, he had no clue of things like how to balance a checkbook, ATM fees, doing a resume, school, etc.... and had an unbelievably hard time.

Even though I haven't started the process yet (hopefully after my next trip, we have some stuff to sort out first), I think that I have a good grasp on what it will take - and I already know that the hardest thing for me is going to be stepping back and letting him make his own mistakes. But I also know that if I don't do that, I would be setting him up for failure.

Hey All...

I haven't been on here much lately.....getting ready for the interview next week but wanted u all to know Dave did have his medical on 3/18 as planned. I PM'ed some of u about him still needing a couple of the immunizations for the interview and it seems like it worked itself out. (THANKS to JG, Gill and JaLove for the info.)

A lot of places are closed down in JA today and monday cause of the holidays but I spoke with the NVC and the R.N. at Andrews memorial who said Dave can just take the "proof" that he got the shots straight to the Interview and we should be fine.

Thanks for all your advice and words of encouragement. I still got about 30 pages of posts to read before i can catch up on what u all been talking about these last few days ( LOL) but i'll keep everyone posted about my case.

Have a good weekend!

Tonisha

Happy Easter To All & Good Afternoon,

Could you tell me how much it cost you with the shots and medical.....I am prepared for about $300 but just checking?

Thanks,
Tonya

Hey Tonya,

My cousin had to pay $200 U.S. Some of the shots he didn't need, but the nurse told him hit would have been a lot expensive if he had gotten it at a clinic before he came for the medical. Does your hubby have any of his shot records or immunization card?

No he doesn't have any records.......I know that he had to have some shots to attend school......so hopefully he will just need a couple.....he is going to Dr. Banbury

Good Morning,

Andrew went and had shots yesterday. I don't know where exactly he went but a friend of his who was denied because of ganga told him it would be cheaper this way. He took a oral dose and 3 other shots. The nurse told him that he would need to follow up in the US. It cost him $120 US and his medical today at Dr. Banbury should be $80-85US.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Peace & Love,
Tonya

Hey All...

I haven't been on here much lately.....getting ready for the interview next week but wanted u all to know Dave did have his medical on 3/18 as planned. I PM'ed some of u about him still needing a couple of the immunizations for the interview and it seems like it worked itself out. (THANKS to JG, Gill and JaLove for the info.)

A lot of places are closed down in JA today and monday cause of the holidays but I spoke with the NVC and the R.N. at Andrews memorial who said Dave can just take the "proof" that he got the shots straight to the Interview and we should be fine.

Thanks for all your advice and words of encouragement. I still got about 30 pages of posts to read before i can catch up on what u all been talking about these last few days ( LOL) but i'll keep everyone posted about my case.

Have a good weekend!

Tonisha

Happy Easter To All & Good Afternoon,

Could you tell me how much it cost you with the shots and medical.....I am prepared for about $300 but just checking?

Thanks,
Tonya

Hey Tonya,

My cousin had to pay $200 U.S. Some of the shots he didn't need, but the nurse told him hit would have been a lot expensive if he had gotten it at a clinic before he came for the medical. Does your hubby have any of his shot records or immunization card?

No he doesn't have any records.......I know that he had to have some shots to attend school......so hopefully he will just need a couple.....he is going to Dr. Banbury

Good Morning,

Andrew went and had shots yesterday. I don't know where exactly he went but a friend of his who was denied because of ganga told him it would be cheaper this way. He took a oral dose and 3 other shots. The nurse told him that he would need to follow up in the US. It cost him $120 US and his medical today at Dr. Banbury should be $80-85US.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Peace & Love,
Tonya

Tonya, that sounds right. Marcel paid about $80/US back in Janaury. He also took an oral dose and 3 shots and I complained about it all DAMN day. Some shots he could not get, becuase of his age. That's what the nurse told him.

I'm glad we are on the adjustment topic - that's my biggest worry about Anthony. We have spent countless hours on the phone talking about it and I'm trying to explain to him the differences in US and JA, especially because of the "bush" I live in. He doesn't quite understand there is no bus or taxi to hop on. Even my daughter (who just turned 6) is worried that he will come with his shorts on when we still have snow!! But so far he has the right attitude about it, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. But I will galdly take any suggestions you gals through at me......

Experience will be his teacher. Many things he will just have to learn on his own. Too much talk and you start to sound like his mother. No man wants that. Good luck!

Ahhhh!!! I certainly don't want to sound like his mother. Thanks Brownie!!

Girl, they just don't know. I tell my people AMERICA is not JOKE! It no EASY! But, you have to be willing to try. My fiance had no INTENTIONS at all to ever come here, but it just happened that we ran into each other and fell in love. We discussed the adjustment process a lot, but I told him, he won't know until he gets here and starts working and gets into the American way of life. I told him, if it's too much for him to handle I'll go back with him. It's easy for me to say that, because that's been my plan for many years.

DJ and I had this discussion on my last trip - Because as much as I love JA, I am 99.9% sure that I could not live there year round - for a variety of reasons, mainly because I don't think I can be that far away from my family - I just feel that it would be tough to earn a good enough income that I would be able to hop a plane at will to come home for a visit or in an emergency - Living in the US, it would be easier to do it by hopping a plane to JA. My family has been through a lot of loss in the past few years, and those of us that remain have been brought closer together by it - I couldn't be so far from my mom (would break her heart) or miss so much of my nephews lives. D is close to his Mom, but by phone only - he hadn't seen her in two years before my last trip. I told him that I could easily move to a warmer climate, but within the US and it would have to be after he was here and we were established - reality is, I make a good living, and we will need that in the beginning. Ultimately, I would love to have a good enough income (win the lottery, whatever, lol) that we would be able to live between both places - spend the winters in JA, summers here.

Immigrating and adjusting is no joke - three of my closest friends moved here from South Africa, Scotland, and Ireland - Even coming from countries that are somewhat similar to ours in educational systems, etc... they all had a hard time adjusting - My friend from SA went from being a straight A student to getting Ds in English - all because of the style by which she wrote = I used to help her to edit her papers, and she went back to an A student - but it was hard for her. I know someone else who came up on a K1, was married a few years, and divorced - his ex did everything for him, and he didn't learn how to do anything for himself. When they split, he had no clue of things like how to balance a checkbook, ATM fees, doing a resume, school, etc.... and had an unbelievably hard time.

Even though I haven't started the process yet (hopefully after my next trip, we have some stuff to sort out first), I think that I have a good grasp on what it will take - and I already know that the hardest thing for me is going to be stepping back and letting him make his own mistakes. But I also know that if I don't do that, I would be setting him up for failure.

I hear yuh sus...but I'm like Lawny...if I could mek a descent pissa change inna JA...I would move me and my boys back in a heartbeat! In recent years I have had so many family members that wouldda DEAD if dem nuh reach farrin'...turn back and go back home it's not even funny!

I think that' one of my biggest fears...where I live at least is not anywhere near as social as JA is. Where yuh cyan jus walk outta road han hangout listen music and drink a green bokkle. Here...you have to go to a bar for that and that a totally different atmosphere all together. It reminds me of when I first moved here. My father missed the whole social aspect of his pubs. Back home in England a pub wasn't really like a Bar...pon a friday night the whole family would go down to the pub. My sister and myself would get Babycham's and my parents would just sit and chat wid friends. I keep trying to explain this to Ken...but unfortunately I think this is something he will have to see and learn for himself!

I am hoping that he will find other social activities to get involved in...like right now my son's soccer team is looking for an Asst. Coach (Ken would be perfect)....we'll have to see! I have been trying to get him enrolled in a GED program...so he can start that ...but ... Time will tell. I was thinking this morning hopefully by 2013...he... we will be adjusted and tackling 'normal' couple issues.

Soooo tru Kimmy! I haven't gone through the process yet but my cousin came up in November on a K1 visa and he HATES it here. He said the country is TOOO different from Jamaica and he wants to go back, but he's willing to try his best and do what he can for his wife. Personally, I plan on moving back to JA soon as I have enough money saved up. Everytime I go home my family says "me a dead if mi nuh reach farrin". I have to tell them NOWHERE in the world is a bed of roses.

That's exactly what I'm worried about as well. I know when I step off the plane in JA I get such a feeling of open-ness (if that's such a word!!) because you can just hang anywhere - the restaurants and bars are wide open - even the lobby at the hotels are wide open. Because of our climate here, eveything is closed up, more confined which makes for a different atomsphere and attitude. My boss (who loves to go to Mexico) talks about the differences in the people and how they interact in the warmer climates. But like you said, they need to find other things to invovle themselves with and just look forward to the trips to JA where they can party on the street!

Thanks Sus. Just list them. It's for my friend she's eloping on Friday. A little short notice. She's 40 years old and her family it totally against her marrying this guy that she's been with for 3 years. She wants to find somewhere in Negril that is not expensive, since she just purchased a house here in the states. She says as long as it's clean. They're going to a JP in Westmoreland.

Kuyaba or Blue Cave Castle for Romance

Yellowbird - basic but clean, great people -

Negril Beach Club Condos - Reasonable, great spot

Coral Seas - Agree with Gil -

(beach)
Jah Bs - Really basic but Clean and cheap:
Donaldsons Inn
Hidden Paradise
Caribbean Sunset

(Cliffs)
Hearbeat
Banana Shout
Sea Star

Another spot called Caribbean Delight has lots of specials on Expedia - I have heard good things about them, also about White Sands -

Also hear good things about this spot, and they just built a new pool -
