Dana1,
We have not been together for 10-12 years, another false assumption on your part. And if you notice, I used the word "We". I also just used the word "I" because I WROTE THIS. We didnt write this. I am me, Lisa is herself. When I speak for me or she speaks for her, we both use "I" - when we are talking about both of us, then we use the word "we".
This should not be a hard concept to grasp...

I have been coming to Jamaica a long time, but I am fairly new to this board in terms of posting. I have posted over on another board for a long time. First, let me say that I appreciate everyone being so welcoming. I have always been a reader of this board and have gain tons of useful information from it. So, thank you to everyone who shares. I also read the Gleaner almost daily just to stay up on things to make myself more aware, when I am on island.
I find Kahuna's sharing of his experience to be extremely helpful. We all love Jamaica or we would not be active on this board. We all want tourism to continue there to help the good people of Jamaica. I think it is important to consider that the worldwide economic downturn has gone on now for many years. The people of Jamaica are experiencing higher and higher taxes while seeing the value of their currency continue to decline. It's an understatement to say that it is hard times for them. Anytime you have this type of economic situation, you are going to see crime increase as people become more desperate. I'm not excusing it, I'm just saying that it's normal.
I thank Kahuna for reminding me not to be naive or to have on my rose-colored glasses, when it comes to a place I love so dearly. It is important and helpful to me to be reminded that I need to be aware and vigilant about my safety. We have all at some time or another while vacationing become lax in doing the things that we know we need to do. Thanks for reminding me that it is not in my best interest to get too comfortable.

Was there really a need to be so condescending?!?! Maybe I'm off a couple years on how long you've been together. As for the "I" vs. "we"...most couples are an entity and refer to themselves as such but guess not in your relationship. Totally irrelevant to my original post but thanks for clarifying your status!

Hey... I use I when talking about me and we when i am talking about something that my other is included in... and we've been together a solid for ten years almost eleven...
And if I was in Rob's position I wouldn't post things pertaining to my other either ... i'd only speak for myself... She has an account if she wants to put her business out there thats her decision and I'm sure Rob wouldn't want to over step those kind of personal boundaries... IMO this is causing too much of a stir... Yes it was horrible and unimaginable to most but why fight with others for no apparent reason besides fighting... Oh yeah... I don't wanna argue with any of you either... this is just my speculation

In 1980, yes 1980. We were robbed in our hotel room. Security caught the guy and turned him over to the police. They beat him to a pulp and showed him to us before they took him away. Went to court in Sav and saw him get 10 years hard labor. What does a thief get today ? Probably a lot less. Still love it here, it can happen anywhere.
