Good morning family I work at a nursing home everyother weekend , they did a wheelchair egg hunt and a hat parade . Easter was great!!!!!

Good morning, everyone. So the consensus seems to be that all of the shipping companies are reliable. That's good, because he didn't get the DS230 that I mailed USPS. I have found that USPS is not that reliable on that end. I sent something priority once, it was supposed to get there in about a week, it took more like three.

Good morning, waynegeraldine and welcome.

I like him too. But isn't he still in jail serving time for rape??? I think he has several more years to go.

I know many Jamaican spending easter in the uS for the first time are a little surprised how low key this holiday is for most Americans. My wife was surprised that she had classes at the University today since it was good Friday. Jamaicans have a long weekend for Easter and Good Friday. The holiday starts today and does not end till Tuesday. My employers closed business for Good Friday for the first time this year, but it is almost like MLK birthday where it's like a floating holiday for most people. It would have been like my first day off in a long time and would have loved to spend it with her. I almost thought she would have cried when she had to go to school today. Especially since we had 80 degree weather last week snd wend down to 27 last ight. How are your Jamaican hubbies coping with being away from home for Easter?

I ordered it from Sams Caribbean Market on line. First time ordering as we have nothing close. We will have to venture out to Boston to find some markets there.




Roy eats lamb??? Hubby will only eat chicken and fish. I am soooooooooo sick of chicken and fish is so expensive.

Jamaicans have a thing about beef. Most do not seem to like it. Pork , fish, chicken. No beef. My wife and I always used to get into it when we go out to eat at restaurants. Take a Jamaican to a non Caribbean restaurant and there is going to be a problem cause they are not into experimenting. So she would go over the menu forever. And I would be sitting there hungry. Now as soon as I get to the restaurant and waiting to be seated, I get the menu and have her go over it. By the time we are seated, she has picked out the fish dish. I thought she would love Olive Garden. Never again. But Red lobster and cheesecake factory are ok to deal with.

Do you guys find it a challenge when you take your hubby out to eat at a Restaurant that does not serve Caribbean food? Tell me I am not the only one who wants to pull my hair out because they canot find anything on the menu.

I've tried to be open minded about the food. I even tasted a piece of deer meat. Yuck! But to be honest, I am worried about being in the USA and changing from my relatively healthy diet of fish, chicken and greens to all the cholesterol-laden foods and becoming over-weight and more prone to things like heart disease.

I'm sorry, but a big old slab of medium rare, blood-oozing steak on my plate with eggs for breakfast on a sunday morning is a bit too much. Jay's feelings were hurt but in the end he understood. I miss my callaloo and saltfish with plantain (and or porridge) on a sunday morning.

I love cornmeal porridge....

Hello All,
my name is Lee, I have started my visa journey. My fiance is in Montego Bay Jamaica. I don't know how I could have done it without all the information I found here—Venessia and i really appreciate it.

Missed you guys today. Ill catch up next week. All this talk about food is making me hungry. I have no idea what to offer sweetie Sunday when he gets here?

I heard that Mcdonalds shut down in Jamaica because no-one would buy it!!! I wont dare offer him a burger. Ha

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe that they can only deliver the package if the contents are all documents. Once you include non documents, your recipient may have to go claim it from Customs themselves.

He is. He is set to be released July 28th (my birthday, BTW). Rumor has it he will headline Sunsplash. And, as far as "serving" goes.......let's just say he has received quite a few amenities in prison most people would never see.

With which company?

I never understand when someone says this. I used to mail Andre everything USPS in a plain envelope with "airmail" and enough stamps on it. He go every single thing I ever sent him exactly 8 days after I mailed them. I mailed him a card almost every single day for almost 2 years plus a lot of the visa stuff, so this is saying a lot.

Our weekend started out horribly. Andre flunked his first attempt at the driving test. Made a right turn on red at a no right turn on red interesection. Failed immediately. He was one big crab the rest of the day. After cussing him eventually, I couldn't wait to escape to work. He's better now. But, geez, you would've thought it was the end of the world. Between you and me.............told you he wasn't ready.

your local post office. You just need to ask for the special envelopes.

Oh, okay, you mean USPS. Yeah, I didn't have a good experience with them the last time I sent something priority. I need it to get there within a week and I don't want to have to send it more than once.

I mailed my K-1 petition on the 27th of March it was received on the and have already received my first Notice of Action, hopefully this is sign of good things to come.


I will be leaning on you guys with the experience to help guide me though the process and asking your forgiveness in advance to for anything stupid that I might ask. My heart goes out to everybody who are also missing their significant other—its heart-wrenching—it's really tough.

Thank you.

Aw. He probably thought he was doing fine and was ready, and being proven wrong probably injured his pride. It also means he's still dependent on you a little while longer.

good morning....bbrrr.it is SO cold....yesterday and saturday i was snowing....crazy....
i had the strangest dream last night that for some reason my mom got the Notice of Action for the uscis saying our case had been transferd to Cali.... maybe it is a sign of things to come???

Question so I know most people in JA have nicknames and we have discussed them before on here.

Wondering does your SO have a group of friends and they go by a specific name?

My hubbies group is KAOS for life they sometimes crack me up. They have their own symbol printed on shirts and necklaces. My husband was the first to get married out of the group and they said I was a member and can't wait to have a little one soon. These boys crack me up.they range from 19-25.

Did you use the global envelopes? They have specific global envelopes and Dwain has always received my mail. I haved been using them for 6 years because it was the cheapest way. Sorry to hear that you had a problem with them. I used Fed Ex once it got there safe they were just to expensive for my budget.

"Death Wish".....they all have tattoos and the words Death Wish on their backs.

Funny thing is, these 8 hood wannabe's...........only Andre would jump at Rick's Cafe with me. The rest were too Chicken. Some gang!!!!!! They are one motley bunch, that is for sure.

Dwain should hopefully be here by the end of next month.

I am just lookin for things to do because I will be free all of July and part of August. We are going to take advantage of free Museum day on Tuesday. He wants to go to the sciene and industry museum and the zoo. Were going to go to the taste of Chicago and stake out or plot of land for his first fire works becasue on the 4th he wants to go see the movie the transformers HELP

The restaurant you're asking about at the Tase is Maxines. She's on 87th & Cottage Grove.

Testing

H a p p y E a s t e r ! !



For Independence day in August they usually have entertainers as well. Also in Evanston at James Park



I love bun and cheese!! When I'm in JA I would eat it all the time.

I didn't tell him I thought he wasn't ready. Are you crazy? It is better to let him learn that on his own.

And, regardless of if he has his license or not, things aren't going to change immediately. We have one car. I work 2 jobs and right now only one way coincides with my travel schedule. He has to take the bus one way each work day. When, we are in the car together, he is always driving. Getting his license would not effect his independence at this point at all. It's just a thing. One more piece of ID to collect.

I'm trying to put one of those cute little ticker thingies on my profile...eveidently it's not working. Oh Well.

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe that they can only deliver the package if the contents are all documents. Once you include non documents, your recipient may have to go claim it from Customs themselves.

Good luck with that, let me know what works for you. I'd like to put one, too.

Mindy goodluck
He said he rather see Maxi Priest. He isn't a fan of Beenie Man. I guess I really don't know what he likes in JA music. He is always listening to USA love songs. He said he might not want to go either. He reminded me we have to go see this transformer movie on July 4th On the 3rd then I will take him downtown to the taste so we don't miss fire works.

Don't feel bad about it Jax. Once he arrives he will tell you what he likes. I went to Capleton a few years ago and paid $45...never again!!! It wasn't worth it at all. Actually (in my opinion) a lot of these stage shows in Chicago are awful. When they bring my baby Movado then I will go until then I'm continuing listening to my CD's.

Just so you know ring yard raised their rates cell phones are now 19 cents a minute and land line 18 cents a minute. I don't think we will ever find 10 cent a minute rate again.
