    Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)

    Unruly Gal/Gill,

    Its so funny on Wednesday morning he seemed to be doing everything he could possibly think of to prolong taking me to the airport. He fooled around so much that I even had time to make breakfast. Then once we finally leave the house he makes 50,000 stops. The bank, gas station, picking up friends along the road to give rides etc. When finally I had to say, "sweety you know I don't want to leave you and all, but if you make me miss this flight, we are going to have some problems..He then looks at me and says,,,"Okay, okay, okay!... Gill you remind me of him saying hush..He tells me that all the time.

    Unruly, I think I've kind of mastered the not crying part now. Although it feels like I'm leaving my best friend or a part of me behind everytime I leave him..Its like a huge lump in stomach, almost makes me sick.

    That is funny.....I hear "hush" quite often.......

    Good Morning Everyone,

    Andrew got his permanent residence card (The Infamous Green Card) on Saturday......I then called the Social Security Office and he received his letter yesterday from them that his SS card had been processed and he should receive it in about 2 weeks.......He is adjusting but missing Jamaica somewhat.......Trying to keep him busy with things around the house that needed done and also my boss has been working him some so that helps.......Catch you later!

    Peace N Love,

    Thanks for the prayers. I wanted to tell ya'll last week, but I didn't want to change the mood in the room and I didn't want the mommies (especially Kimmy) to worry. Her due date and my sis were the same. Kimmy, I LOVE YOU....thanks for the SUPPORT girl. My sis said not to worry Kimmy...she's okay. It's God's will.

    By the way...where's GILL and the pictures.

    SUNNY ---

    Peace N Love,

    Wanted to share this "The POWER of a SMILE"

    In 2000 I was working at a hospital here in Maryland and when I worked the weekend I would see this young couple come in. When I first noticed them the wife looked like she was about 200lbs then as the months went by she had dropped her weight drastically. The last time I saw this couple the wife looked like she weighed no more than 100lbs. I never knew what was wrong with her and never asked (wasn't my place).

    Yesterday I was the supermarket and this police officer walked up to me and asked is my name Novelette and I hesitated and said, yes. He started to cry out of control and of course I didn't know what to do. I just gave him a hug, I don't know why, it was just all I could do at the time. Of course people are looking at us like we're crazy. After I got him to calm down, I asked him what was wrong. He said, you don't remember me or my wife, but I remember you. I remember your big beautiful smile and that you and your family are from Jamaica. Now, I have a puzzled look on my face.

    He began by telling me about his wife's battle with cancer and that she died 7 years ago (I've not seen this couple since 2000) and of all the people he remembered while she was receiving chemo treatments at the hospital he remember my face the most. He remembered my smile. He said, his wife would look forward to seeing my smiling face and how it brigthen her day knowing how bad she was going to feel after her treatments. We talked for about an hour or so. I'm telling you, I've never know a person to love another like this man loved his wife. They were so young. I think she was 27 at the time she got sick.

    Before we exchanged information, he told me THANK YOU...and I said, anytime, you're more than welcome. Sometimes all it takes is a smile to brighten someone's day.

    OH Lawney.........Hugs to you girl........You made such an impact on this couple........God Bless YOU!

I met his boss last time and he was all in my face wid im TINKIN mout. Keep asking Marcel a wah im do fi get mi and dem way deh! So, since Marcel don't ansah im...he showing Marcel different face. I told him to get some letters of recommendation and then walk. The other co-workers telling the boss that he soon left cause he had to go to Kingston last month. I told him not to tell anyone what he was doing. You know how people can be badmind. :angry:

    Lawney,

    That is the same thing Drew said about people.....He did not want this one boss of his knowing his plans......He said sometimes people do bad things to prevent others from getting what the Good Lord has in store for them.....

    Tonya,

    Good morning -- as much as I hate to admit it, it is very true. That's why I told him don't tell anyone. His friends don't ask because they think we're married and since I'm Jamaican they assume I'm moving back home soon. His immediate family don't really know everything 100% yet. His older brother knows, but I choose to leave everyone else out. Although his family is nice, some of them I don't get good vibes from. Especially his aunt from queens, who is still bad mouthing me and has since move to Maryland. She will never know where I live. I forgot to tell ya'll when I was in Jamaica last month she asked me if I was pregnant in front of about 30 people...then replied, oh, it's just the heavy weight :angry: She doesn't like me because she feels that I'm too old for her nephew. Always saying, look how much young women in Jamaica, why u go pick up di old ooman wid pickney. I've cussed her out before and if she comes that way to me again, ya'll may see me on the 6 o'clock news :angry:

    Lawney,

    Girl....you are so funny......when we were in Negril.....A lady at the beach park........she was very nice built....a nice shape for an older woman......Drew ordered my lunch.....and he ordered me pork.....and made the comment that I really liked pork......She looked at me......with a very pleasant attitude.....and says to me and Drew......thats why pudgy........I know Drew was about to die.....Not knowing if I was gonna lose it on this woman or what........ :blink:

    Wakey -- Tonya, I been hearing lawddddd what a way u nice and FAT! or what a piece a BAXIDE...u ago mad di man dem. I never bothered me. It's the culture. Some of my friends think I'm INSANE, because I'll walk around NAKED at a beach. LOVE HEDONISM.... and there's another all adult resort in Ocho (can't remember the name). All I can say is LORD ave merci! I'll put on my 2 piece and say the hell with everyone else. To me, my body is perfeccccctttt, matter a fact it's the bomb! I want to get back to a size 16 though, because I was comfortable and found clothes that I liked easily. I'm in a 20 now. I want to also get back down to maybe 180. I can't be smaller than that I do't look right. I'm pushing 225lbs now. I was almost 300lbs when my son's father was stressing me. I remember when I was pregnant with my son, the first thing my doctor said was "YOU SHOULD HAVE CONSIDERED LOSING WEIGHT BEFORE YOU GOT PREGNANT, NOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS AND END UP WITH GESTATIONAL DIABETIES"...I ran out of his office crying, but not before CUSSING him out.

    Lawney...

    You are such an inspiration......It sounds like you and I have some likeness.......I am almost 6ft tall......can wear anywhere between 18-20.......I am around the 200 mark......but would like to be around 160.......anyway.....I am who I am........PUDGY!!!! :rofl:

    :ot: I need some help!

    As you all know Andrew was approved on April 15th......However, on April 25, he was involved in a car accident.......At the time of his interview, he was not on any medication.......Since the accident, he has been put on a prescription.......He has a prescription for 2 refills on a 30 day supply......

    Should I have him fill those prescriptions before he leaves Jamaica and bring them through customs?

    Should I have him just bring the paper prescription and get him a doctors appt here soon?

    He needs these meds and I am scared that it will be a mess with customs when he comes through if he brings them?

    HELP!

    Peace & Love,

    Tonya

    Does anyone know if i need to send NVC the 2 copies of the police certificate or should I keep one and send another photo copy of it also? I got 2 form hubby and they both have his passport photo stapled to them so now I am not sure if I am supposed to send them both or just send one?

    Morning Marlita.....

    We sent in both original copies with passport photos attached just like he got them back.....However, I made me a copy of everything I sent them.......Girl at window during interview process tried to make us produce the 2nd copy while it was in the folder in front of her......

    Peace & Love
