Ok I have a question...
Anyone whos fiance (now hubby) was in the Kingston area were did he go for the police certificate?







Hi

The police record can be obtained ex The Multual Life Building located at 2 Oxford Road Kgn5. Please remember to take 2 passport size pictures. The cost is $2500. After he is done there, he will be instructed to go to Duke Street , the building is across NCB Duke Street. I can't remember the address but as said before they will inform him of it . Good luck.

Thanks Shar,
He went yesterday to get his No impediment but didnt have his birth cert with him so he will have to go back today, also yesterday he paid for his police cert but didnt bring the 2 photos so he will go back there today also..he has a busy day ahead of him today...I just hope he can get everything done in the next couple days and then he can finally rest, after all the traveling he has been doing!

So I hope everyone has a great day today....Last night I went to the Cique de Sole (sp) show Delerium, and it was very good, we had "nose bleed" seats but when we started walking up to our seats one of the workers told us to come back down and she gave us 3 tickets to lower seats, boy was that great..they must not have sold all the lower $125.00 tickets so they were letting people move down into the unsold seats...I just love those shows yes.gif

So unitil later, Joanna

Hmm... I don't even know what part of MoBay Michael lived in. I think it was called Pieceview - I really don't know. He worked at the Doll's House on the Hip Strip for about a year before he came up. I met him when he worked at Errol's in Negril.

QUOTE(ChristineJames @ Apr 19 2006, 03:05 PM) *

Quick question from one of the polls on the yahoo site....

For the ladies who's men are MoBay...what part of MoBay? and where did you meet them. I just wonder if its possible if our guys know each other. I know my guys works at pretty touristy spot in MoBay...just curious if they may know each other. Considering most of us met our guys while on vacation.

And I wonder them same thing about the other areas as well. Ever wonder if they know each other?



Kirk works on the Hip Strip too. At Doctor's Cave Beach. He lives in Hanover (why up UP in the Hills!)

Good morning everyone and congrats to everyone on ALL the great news! Wonderful stuff going on on the board.

Poor Lake, last nite was his second day on the job, and its Sooooo physical its killing him, and he is not getting time to study. I really wanted to have him on a 2nd or 3rd shift job(so he could continue classes), but I DID suggest part time so he he could study more. But nooooo, he wanted full time...he is so tired and achy tho. Po baby. Its just so physical, its all he can do to shower and fall in bed when done. Here's hoping he gets a lil more used to it. After doing nothing for 9 months, it has to be a shock to the system.

Other than being my honey being wiped out, things are going pretty good here. I think he is the oldest guy on the line, most of the folks I see come out of there were early 20's. Standing all day and lifting repeatedly. I TOLD him he should have a back brace but he says no one wears one. I told him to still check on it, I did NOT want his back going out, and he is not as young as the others there and NEEDS it. At least I got him to ask where the heck the breakroom was! Still waiting to hear on the school jobs we keep applying for, they told us "Just sit back and relax and put in your interest form for the ones you want", so the last two weeks we have been throwing it in every one available. I guess he will get it eventually, but he just didnt want to "sit back and relax". lol Pray for us, that he gets one of the custodial jobs soon, it would be hard work, but not body blowing by any means.

Have a great day all, its a gorgeous spring day here. smile.gif

Tell Lak his paisana in New York sends him a big hug. Henry starts a custodian job at a hospital on Monday. Hopefully they are not slave drivers. All the vacines nearly wiped him out (at least now we dont have to pay for vacines. God is good!) yes.gif We will keep you in our prayers for the custodial job.

ROHAN WILL BE COMING HOME

The interview was a snap, our interview was a 9:15, Rohan got there about 6 am and I followed later around 7 am. We had to pay someone to hold our cell phones. The security guards are extremely pushy and try to overly exert there authority. They let us in about 7:15am and we had to wait while they deal with the other 7:15 appointments until about 9:00 am, they called us about 9:15 am the first time , in all we got out about 11:30 am. The interviewer questioned us together and all he asked was How did we meet, the name of our church, How many other times I been to Jamaica, and when and where the wedding will be. He joked a little about Rohan's broken arm, and said congratulations. It was great, we hugged then proceeded around the corner to AIRPAK. The cabs offer to take you for a rip off price, but dont take it, is less than a 5 minute walk around the block. We are so happy, Rohan will be coming up in the next couple weeks, after I finalize a place he will stay at before the wedding.

My time in JA was wonderful, me and Rohan spent most waking hours together and really grew in our love heart.gif . I spent Tuesday in St Thomas at the LYCEENS Beach with his step mom, brothers and sister, we had such a great time. Also a church convention was going on and we had a great time there. I am ecstatic!! biggrin.gif
Only 2 1\2 months until k1 approved amazing.

Henry cannot sleep if he owes anyone. He said Americans have to get a grip! "What do you all buy???" he asked. whistling.gif He understands that America runs on credit but he wants to know why we dont have less stupid debt (shoes) and more "smart debt" (he puts my student loan and mortgage in that category, but I feels I should be diligent to pay them off faster).

Oh how I wish I would have had Henry to counsel me when I was 20! I have LOTS of debt blush.gif I don't think Michael truly understands the whole credit card/debt thing yet. I have showed him what I owe, but I don't think he grasps how long it will take me to get out from under it.

How Does Your JA Spouse/Fiance/SO feel about credit card debt and car notes?? (Apolgies if you have discussed already)


Henry cannot sleep if he owes anyone. He said Americans have to get a grip! "What do you all buy???" he asked. whistling.gif He understands that America runs on credit but he wants to know why we dont have less stupid debt (shoes) and more "smart debt" (he puts my student loan and mortgage in that category, but I feels I should be diligent to pay them off faster). Can't argue with him on that.

Roy is all about the cash!! I got him a credit card in his name (I only have one -- been there, done that)....he ON PURPOSE signed his name like a FOOL so that he couldn't use it. He thinks credit cards are for idiots. He's right wink.gif Since I only have the one card I pay it off every month and have no credit card debt and my truck is paid for. He is very intent on paying off my mortgage.....almost obsessed with it.

Oh, me too, with the loads of debt. I hear you. We have been LIVING on credit cards this last year, and its gotten a bit overwhelming. I havent exactly shared how MUCH I owe, I am afraid to. But I have told him, we owe a LOT, I mean I told him the first three paychecks will be gone, poof, when he starts working, but I never imagined him getting paid weekly, I was thinking more like bi weekly, so when all but about $100 of his paycheck is gone every month...umm, well let me say I am not exactly looking forward to it.

He understands the credit card thing, and is like Henry, he HATES debt. He hasnt had much choice tho, he also owes his brother back home an overwhelming amount for Guyana, over $5,000 and I wouldnt be surprised if its more like 10k, US. His brother has also been helping to support Lakes kids back home, since Lake was not working, for this last year and things are getting expensive since the flood, food has skyrocketed and his oldest kid has to take a taxi to school becuz they opened a low income subdivision right on the next block, so crime is rampamt and the kid is not even safe walking past that area.
He just started emailing his kids and I think that was what made him urgent to work, things back home are so bad. Its gonna take a while to get on our feet but with God's help, we will get there. After he gets a steady job and I am not having to run him around so much, I will try to find something too. We really need a scooter or another car soon.

Ok, question, does anyone here ever cook bitter melon, aka Carela? I just cooked it for the first time by myself, Lake is at work. I have watched him a dozen times, but I am tellin ya, I need practice cuz mine tastes like crap! laughing.gif

Ok, I have another discussion question for u guys.

[size=3]Does your significant other have nice table manners, and if not, how do you politely discuss what and what is NOT appropriate? AND get them to understand?????

Ok, I know the islanders and where Lake is from are similar in some respects. They love to suck the meat off chicken bones. Well...Lake does it with all bones, fish bones, etc. And its makes for a whole lot of ....slurping. I am able to overlook it to some extent, but when I am with anyone else, it just kills me. I have discussed it with him, but he doesnt "get it", how its not polite with company to do this. Its not horrible, but...still, if I ever have kids, or we would go on a cruise where you do fine dining...ouch. He has gotten a WHOLE lot better, it was REAL bad to begin with.

David hates dept as well. Tells me that he dosen't know how I sleep at night knowing that I owe people money. I don't owe a lot but he is not comfortable with what I do owe huh.gif He wants to operate on a cash only basis unsure.gif If we don't have it his motto is we don't need it. He will only borrow money to get cars, home ect, even then he wants to be able to pay more than the min so that he can get it paid off eariler. I too wish I had met him 10 years eariler. sad.gif

No he has excellent table manners. He says it was instilled in him at a very young age. He about has my children trained. Absolutely no talking at the table!!!! huh.gif He will suck the meat off the fish bones, this is when we are at home usually it dosen't bother me, I'm more amazed than anything. wink.gif

ROHAN WILL BE COMING HOME

The interview was a snap, our interview was a 9:15, Rohan got there about 6 am and I followed later around 7 am. We had to pay someone to hold our cell phones. The security guards are extremely pushy and try to overly exert there authority. They let us in about 7:15am and we had to wait while they deal with the other 7:15 appointments until about 9:00 am, they called us about 9:15 am the first time , in all we got out about 11:30 am. The interviewer questioned us together and all he asked was How did we meet, the name of our church, How many other times I been to Jamaica, and when and where the wedding will be. He joked a little about Rohan's broken arm, and said congratulations. It was great, we hugged then proceeded around the corner to AIRPAK. The cabs offer to take you for a rip off price, but dont take it, is less than a 5 minute walk around the block. We are so happy, Rohan will be coming up in the next couple weeks, after I finalize a place he will stay at before the wedding.

My time in JA was wonderful, me and Rohan spent most waking hours together and really grew in our love heart.gif . I spent Tuesday in St Thomas at the LYCEENS Beach with his step mom, brothers and sister, we had such a great time. Also a church convention was going on and we had a great time there. I am ecstatic!! biggrin.gif
