How is everyone today?

Jamie I am glad everythings is going well with Milo and Nemo...post pics as soon as you can....seems like everyone here has big dogs...well I have a chihuahua (ankle biter ) named Papi (dont ask my ex named him????[attachmentid=89]

How do you get an instand email telling u a post has been added to the thread? I used to get them automatically and now I have no idea what to do. I did change it in "my controls" but still nothing.

I'm so glad they fixed the site and you are all still here. It is kind of sad to barely be in double digits on the pages, but this way maybe I'll stay up to date!
Congrats on your dogs Jamie and good luck with them! It seems like everyone is getting "baby" fever around here. Joanna your dog is adorable. I love little dogs and want to get one, but I am never home and don't even have a roommate to help out so I'm waiting a while.

Youre right, I use to get them to, now I don't.



your dog is adorable. Don't get upset, but don't you think chihuahuas look like bats, I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. I know, I know I'm :dead:But before you kill me, I do love all animals, no matter what kind.

My poor dog gets called all kinds of names, so I am used to it...some poeple say he looks like a cat, but the people I work with call him "Rat Dog" ...I still love him anyway

Good evening all

Rhonda sorry to hear about Tony's loss.

Rita Congrats: My children's father backed off when I told him we were moving to LA. It's it's great to see them bonding...My daughter is older so it harder for her.

We had the Chicken recipe for dinner last night, it was the best.

May be we should try and get a visitors visa for David's daughter???? Because the mother refuses to help with the birth certificate issue and we are not there. I' m not sure she can even help I don't know how much time we have left. The mother keeps calling fussing about how she needs money for this and money for that. David's uset because he left 2000$ US in the bank thinking that would hold his daughter for a few months, well at least two, until he starts working.. she claims the money's gone I don't mind sending money but he refuses to right now because he thinks she's lying. His daughter is crying on the phone all the time..It makes him feel so bad.

We are going to mail her christmas gifts and send a care package for her but David is afraid that it may cost to much for them to pick the items up....anyone know about how much we could send without it cost them an arm and a leg to pick up?

We had our first argument..the cause...Driving!!!!He can drive but he is so aggressive... I now have to lean back so I cannot see ...He scares the living hell out of me.... He dosen't know what it means to yeild and he always has the right away SO he got mad at me for screaming at him.

Rat dog, that's terrible

Also,it's taking too long for him to get over his cold/flu...One more day and I am taking him to the hospital..he gets better during the day then it comes back at night...he all of a suddens starts the hiccup thing and spikes a temp????I', I am a nurse and I have never seen anything like it. I want my man BACK!!!

Everyone have a great weekend...I start my new job Monday on the Mother Baby unit...I'm sort of excited. Maybe I can quit the weekend job.

Thanks alot. We're looking into doing this as well.

anyhow i noticed a stabbing sensation in the centre of my stomach, about 2-3 inches below my breasts. doesnt happen often, just when i lie down and try getting up and since today even when i'm sitting down. it doesnt heard, just feels a little funny. did any of you mothers experience this? the doc says it could be a result of a little hernia as my navel is not as....? as it use to be. i honestly dont remember what he said.

can someone relate with this feeling?[/color]
[/quote]

It sounds to me like a hiatal hernia. Very common but rather annoying. Try not to lay down to soon after eating and sleep with an extra pillow under your head and/or shoulders. That may help relieve some of the feeling you have. Slow down on your eating....10 lbs is way to much to gain in one month. Make healthy choices. Keep carrot/celery sticks in a zip lock bag. Buy the little serving size boxes of cereal for a snack. You should only be gaining 2-3 lbs a month at the most. I made the same mistake with my first child because everyone told me to eat more because I was eating for two. I gained 40 lbs!! Glad to hear everything else is going well with the pregnancy.



Dee~ Congrats on the new job....now you can be an OB nurse like me I am trying to decide what bills to get in Tashi's name for AOS. I am not sure what he will need as far as ID to get them switched over. Any suggestions??

Hope he begins to feel better soon, go straight to the hospital if you think it is best. Try to have a good weekend.

Can't sleep, where is everybody????
[size=2]Ok, somebody get up and keep me company

We had our first argument..the cause...Driving!!!!He can drive but he is so aggressive... I now have to lean back so I cannot see ...He scares the living hell out of me.... He dosen't know what it means to yeild and he always has the right away SO he got mad at me for screaming at him.

This has been the cause of many little arguements between me & Tony It took him a long time and his first ticket to realize that you can't drive here like you drive in Jamaica. I made him go to court to fight the ticket by himself so he would learn his lesson. It's very difficult but sometimes you just gotta wait it out - he'll learn eventually.

good morning yardie family

Good Morning

TGIF

Good morning family.

I hope everyone have a wonderful weekend

Mawnin peeps

Let's break out the daiquiris (regular and virgin for all the mothers to be) - TGIF!!

OK, I see everyone is checking in, but where is everybody now We need more chatting going on so I have something to do at work What's everyone doing this weekend? I actually have Saturday off for a change. I have to get caught up on laundry, bills, and house-cleaning. Yippee

I am here! I agree we need something to chat about...I am literally falling asleep here at work. No big weekend plans...just watching the big game on sunday.

Hey Rhonda how crazy is detroit? I hear its amazing how many people are there.

Good Afternoon all. No weekend plans, in this big town o mine

Yeah, Detroit is home of the SuperBowl this year That's all you hear about on the news all day long for the past couple weeks! They have a big winter festival going on downtown all week too. There are concerts and parties and all kinds of festivities. I don't know if we'll be going down there or not. Just to park your car is anywhere from $20 to $30 and up! We have other things we need to do with our money right now! I'm not a big football fan and neither is Tony, but I watch parts of the game to see the cool new commercials that come out. The commercials during the Superbowl cost about 2 million $$$ for like 30 seconds or something crazy!

Good afternoon all!!

I'm heading to the PO to drop off my Save The Date cards for our big wedding this summer. Planning a real wedding is nooooooooooo joke, but I"m so excited about it

In other immigration related news, Squito finally received his social security card in the mail this morning. He never received it the first time because our address was inputted incorrectly.

Girl, planning a wedding is very stressful just make sure you take a deep breath and try to get others to help. I know it's tempting to do everything alone but it can get real hard and frustrating. But afar from that congrats on moving the next step and the SS card.


Well this weekend I'm going to see Big Momma's House 2 and try to clean up. I haven't done that in a long time and I'm shame when ppl come over. A friend of mine asked me if I was feeling good b/c this was the 1st time he saw my house like this. I told him I was working all dang day so I never had time.

That's all I watch to are the commercials and to see if there are any wardrobe malfunctions




Glad he got his card. I just told one of my friends that I don't see how people handle planning big weddings. Ours was as small as one can get, and I was pulling my hair out. So I bow to you and all others that have huge weddings.

Okay first you have to send a barrel down to Jamaica or it does cost an arm and a leg! Try your local shipping company to see if they do that. Not all do.

Second!!! Dont teach him how to drive!! I did it with my first husband and we almost fought night and day about it. He scared me to until I made him go to driving school twice until I thought he had calmed down!!! : )

Looks like I did that wrong....shoot.

Hello,
Well today is rainy and yucky outside...I just went to the grocery store and tanning bed and I am in for the rest of the day with this weather.
Hope everyone is having a good day.

Ok I have a question....Adrian and I have really been trying hard to save money so when his interview comes and he goes back to JA and I to go JA also, we have to rent a place to stay cause we dont want to stay with is family in the hills. and rent a car....But anyway on to my question, we were talking last night trying to figure how much money we would need for the visa...here is what we came up with:

Visa fee: $100US
Medical: Approx $200US
No marriage cert: Approx $90.00
Police Cert: can someone help us here? How much is the police Cert. to get it express??

Is that it or is there some thing I am missing?

Joanna

Well here is a topic I could use everyone's thoughts about. It is a little personal so if you don't want to reply that is fine. I was not raised in a church at all, and became a Christian 2 years ago. So there are some things that I get mixed messages about. One is sex. Is it really a big deal to wait until your wedding night? Or is it just something the older ladies in the church make a big deal of? I do realize there is a need to wait for love, but if you know you are committed to your man does the wedding ring need to be there? I would really appreciate your thoughts and experiences if you are comfortable sharing. This is something I need to figure out before I see Peter again, because I want to know my mind before we face temptation again.

Hi Ladies,

I recv'd this from one of my friends and I wanted to share. It's funny!!!

tuck in yu belly

This is really not something that anyone can answer for you. If you allow someone to influence you in a way that's not right for you; based on their own experiences or beliefs then it can have adverse effects and consequences. If you're not sure, wait. But whatever you decide let your conscience be your guide.

Have a good weekend everybody. What's everyones favorite superbowl recipes? Wings? Dips? Other ideas?

I want to try the new cheese dip pizza by Pizza Hut. It looks good.

Oh yea guess what??? I have lost 20 lbs so far. Hip hip horray!!

That's fantastic

If you're a Christian, the Bible is to be used as your guide and it will answer your questions. The scriptures in this area are quite clear and I'd be more than happy to provide you with some. Once you study, you'll be able to decide what you as a Christian should do in this situation. Send me a PM if you'd like me to send them to you.

All the best,

Lee

Oh yea guess what??? I have lost 20 lbs so far. Hip hip horray!!



CONGRATULATIONS ANNA!! What an accomplishment

WE GOT NOA2!!!!

WWWWAAAHHHOOO

I am so excieted...Adrian and I had bets...he said we will get it by the end of the week and I said we would get it sometime next week...I guess he won

Good morning.

Congrats on losing 20 poiunds Anna.

And Joanna - Congrats on your NOA@

Oh sorry I was so excieted about the NOA2, that Anna I forgot to congratulate you on your weight loss....

CONGRATS ANNA...that is great....I really need to get on the ball and lose some also...It is so good that you are motivated and doing good with the weight loss....how much are you trying to lose?

CONGRATS!

Yes, the Bible has clear-cut answers on pre-marital sex and I'm sure that the older church ladies were quick to point them out to you(smile). Don't discount their experiences because they are older; they are usually wiser too. Having said that; even the most Bible trained consciences can go out the window in the heat of the moment. Some suggestions to resist temptation: As silly as it may sound to an adult-find a chaperon if possible; "date" only in public places; keep your physical contact "light"; if you drink, drink in moderation; pray and meditate on the consequences and how it will effect your relationship with God. I'm not going to judge anyones beliefs/devotion and parameters of what's allowed and accepted in their individual places of worship. However, some churchs/places of worship strictly enforce the Bible's teachings- with consequences; and some don't. Another consideration is that some will not allow you to marry inside the church if you engage in pre-marital sex. An informal poll among me and my friends/co-workers that are religious is that of those who waited to have sex after marriage is only one regretted waiting(she married an older man that did not have her "energy level" and was disappointed); the rest felt it was the right desicison for them. Of those who didn't wait-about 60% regretted it; 30% didn't care one way or the other and 10% thought that was the best decision for them. Of those who regretted not waiting- the majority cited the effect on their reltionship with God as the main reason for their regret. Also don't allow any man to talk you or coax you into a situation that you're not comfortable with. If you want to wait until marriage and he loves you as much as he should; then he will wait. One last thing; if for some reason (and I'm not saying it will happen, and I hope it doesn't) the relationship ends and you do it; how will you feel?

Best wishes,
Michele

In regards to my poll; I should also point out that I live in the Northeast(Connecticut-near New York). Sometimes it's noted that religious values are higher in certain areas, suchas the south-although personally-I don't necessarily agree with it.

Joanna-I see it took about 90 days- I hope the rest is smooth sailing for you!

Well 92 days to be exact....but thanks...I hope the rest of this process is speedy!!

CONGRATS!!! I'm excited for you.

Lee

Anna -- Congratulations!! I KNOW your 20 got sent right down here to the South Side and it all landed on my right hip

Joanna -- YIPEE!!! I knew this was going to be a good week!! Congratulations girl. Now it's on to the wonderful, bright and cheery Kingston Embassy!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS For me that was the hardest part - waiting for the NOA2. The rest of the process goes fast. I'm so happy for you

Congratulations on the NOA2 Joanna!!! What a wonderful feeling!!!!!! I knew the time was coming seeing the other timelines on the service centers forum. Good luck on the rest of your journey.

As for me, I would like to lose 50 more lbs by the end of the summer. I know it will be hard but I started working out last week so we'll see.

Great news--February is love month.




Congrat on the weight loss Anna. How did you do it?
