WHAT-ever..!!!!....

....and the rest-of-the-world ain't IN-Jamaica
lol
lol
lol
but i am
lol
lol
lol

where are you(s)
lol
lol
lol

ok.
.
.
WHERE oh-where
to begin....???????..

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Let's start with
my landlord being *vex-ed*
'cause i'm not spending MY-money
as he wants me too

here's the *deal* [[[ in part, sanitized version ]]]

nobody was 'spose to know i was leaving today
..except landlord & his mom

how-ever,
as expected
i had quite a few visitors last-evening
wishing me a good-farewell
but
as expected
..some eased into this & that
[[[[ translation:::>>> my last few $$$$ ]]]]
....some place orders/requests for stuff they wanted me to bring on my next trip

this morning,
a couple more dropped by to say good-bye blah blah $$$ $$$

late-ly
my response has been,
one or more of the following::::::::::::
.......money DONE
.......I'm wating for $$ from WesternUnion
.......waiting to catch CashPot
.......you & the pickney(s) should go to Lucea FamilyCourt, and make 'em get $$$$$ from baby-daddy

in the past,
landlord would try to ease into more-$$$
but i stopped that::: he no asked no more

day-before-yesterday,
when landlord *thought* i was leaving '''on-time'''
i got a much needed new door
...hired a neighbor to make selection, purchase, and assemble, etc etc.

landlord tried to talk me out of doing the door-thing
'cause that meant diverted-$$$$
..,that **possibly** could trickle down his way, for whatever he wanna *do*, when he wanna and/or decide-to *do* whatever

then,
this morning,
i hired an electrician
to do likkle this & that around the house
[[[[[ me sooooo-SICK of the extension-cordS thing ]]]]

again::>> diverted fund$

i enjoooooooy
extending UN-expected-ly
....so so sooooooooooooooo much is *revealed*
....plans get ''mashed-UP'''

.
.
.

just as i did with the goat-party-ting-y,
with the door & electrical work
i told the 2-craftsmen,
when they went into that Jamaican-stylee blah blah blah conversation/script
which ALL-ways takes place, when you engage a service::::>>>>>>> '''''....STOP..!!!!...... I don't wanna hear all that ...... we gonna do this USofA stylee .......... YOU get the stuff,,,, do what you gotta do ..... DO-give me a likkle estimate ..... give me the bottom-line ........ IF you need $$$$-upfront, No problem..........[[[ period ]]]]...'''

they smile

then-mi-SAY::::>>>> ''''...HOWEVER,,,, IF you play games ..... if i find out you F-word me, THEN we DONE, for the rest of our lives ...... plus, the Man upstairs is gonna punish you...'''

so far
this *new-approach* to doing Ja-business is working out JUST FINE.
:-)

p.s... me not a complete idiot ..
.....the folks i deal with have been watched by-me, for long-time.
.
.
here's my rationale::::>>>> Jamaica is CHEAP..!!!..
my/your US, Canadian, German, England, whatever-land coins go a loooooooooooooooooooong way down here
.....supplies aren't that costly
.....delivery charges ain't bad ... NOT-at-tall
.....labor cost...????.... post-slavery wages [[[[ most-times i feel like pure-bandit ]]]

this trip,
first day
we had to get the fridge fixed::::>>> less than US $50

oh
oh
oh:::>>>> down-here, 99% of the time, folks DON'T dash-away a broken thing-y, and replace it .... they get it fixed.

..
.
...opps
typing to loong

...to be continued ....

...continue-ing...
.
.
**WARNING**
Ja-cuisine can make you fat
:-(
.
especially,
if you're like me and like/love sweets, pastries,
along with all the other great-foods, dishes, etc they got down here
....and the EVER-present peas & rice, dumplings, yams, etc etc etc

* whew *

in just a couple of weeks i'm getting *fluffy*
around the *miggle*

i've started going to this place in Lucea i told you-all about last trip

run-by JehovahWitnesses
and it's ALL vegetarian type stuff
.
they've got a Champion juicer, and make great to-order juices
...i get the vegetable juices

.
.
i asked the manager
if they had other locations

no..... not now
...however, there's an associate who IS *planning* to open a similar place in Negril.

we'll see
...'cause i'm sure you all know how business *plans* go in Negril/Jamaica
.
.
nevertheless,
this place is outstanding.
....a MUST VISIT

price of tofu, above::::>>> Ja $100 each.

when she told me the price i shook my head in disbelief
....'cause a similar product in USofA WholeFoods would cost ya AT LEAST US $6.00 [[[ con$ervatively speaking ]]]
.
.
more soon come
.
.
.
.
Pull UP...!!
Pull UP...!!
.
.
just thought about a couple things
regarding cost-of-living & expenses in Jamaica versus USofA

.
number-1 ...... cigarettes... cheap.. compared to USofA, WashingtonDC ...i'm now paying almost Ja$800 pack
in Jamaica it's Ja$720 .... how much a pack in NewYork, or Chicago..???....

number-2 ...... here
in Lucea
i can get a movie on DVD for Ja$100
....not rental .... this is to-Buy..!!!
.....plus:::>>> the DVD may have up-to FOUR movies pon it
..........now, HOW they get 4-movies on a DVD,,,, me no know
.
.
likkle bit
soon come back

...continue-ing...
