A cautionary tale, especially for returners

[Jambarney]

Oh Booger........ you beat me to it, not much gets by you.

Goes way back as in years, probably best for a pm, aw boy still chuckling over your post. Kind of reminds you of that Glen Close / Michael Douglas movie where the psychotic woman was sitting in her bedroom by her lamp and just repeatedly turning it on and off plotting against Michael Douglas. I think it was called Fatal Attraction or something like that. I wonder if her character had a Doctorant ? This might be aging myself, darn't.

But I have to admit that I also get some pretty good chuckles over the "I'd do this or I'd do that posts" also. Trust me unless you've actually been in it or it's happened to you sorry but no you don't know how you'd handle it, you might think you do but again please believe me you don't. Having said that tho I'm not quite sure exactly how a doctorant can explain too much at all about me sorting somebody out that's in my house when I wake up. But I promise to reach out to the professor types the next time I go to the library.

I think I read a statement by this Fred Stripe character saying something like by not naming the property in a small way the person deserves it? Was that right? Come on man you can't be serious on that one, that's uncalled for. Also I've talked to a lot of police in my time, especially (unfortunately) when I was younger and some had uniforms, some had suits but I never had one call himself a "ghetto cop" or talk the way you do for that matter. Just an observation.

I'm still sorry for the original poster, but this one is kind of getting wild.

I talked about the sleep cycles and neuron reactions boys that is why I mentioned my schooling in it. You all know someone will soon respond with " If someone is breaking in my room i will wake fully up immediately to be able to kick their ars..) Scientifically impossible to have all your marbles when awoken in middle of sleep also while dealing with fight or flight response was my point. Nothing about a who better than who. It was an I know this information for positive sure. Jambarney Pm me also because I am very curious to hear the version you were told as I am sure with each new tell it gained some strength. Never really was a big deal Gerry and I just two VERY different type of travelers. As stated I agreed with him on something. You boys really have me curious with the fatal attraction noting. Psycho Woman, Oh Yes at times for sure no doubt.

Take your electronic devices and fancy phones with you and the odds are that you may not leave with them; not every reach but going often you are bound to leave empty one time. Or, stay in the fort knox compounds where mostly everyone has these devices and the odds are less that it will be you losing your devices lol. If you want to read your whole trip, JA may not be the place for you, at least on the busy beach. Heck I just borrow one of the locals' I-pad to check in at home .. stolen .. dunno but dare I ask "how did you get that lol." It's like them asking us, when did you arrive, where are you staying, how long are you staying tee hee. I have a cheap phone and really want no connection to the electronic world while I am away except for checking in at home once per day. I take great dvds for the locals to watch on the tv at one bar we patronize and that keeps their attention directed at the movie and not what's going on around them for a change, although I think they can do that at the same time too lol.
Another option, keep your devices in your room .. never show them around the complex ... take it to one of the fancier places and do your thing .. pack it up, take it back to your room and hide it. I do not think a lot of these burglaries are random .. they have been watching and calculating .. if you don't give them anything to see, then why would they take the risk? Otherwise, it's just plain bad luck, wrong place at the wrong time and that can happen anywhere.
I heard that when a thief is caught and convicted in JA, it's hard time, so these people are really stricken with "hard times" and I do believe that some of these culprits are drug addicts and owe a debt .. if they don't take this risk, then they are surely prey by their own people. It must be awfully hard to wake up each day with a smile -- and smile they do :-) to face no job and sometimes no home and hungry, probably with kids to feed somewhere on the island. We are not talking about our own countries which are basically turning into welfare states .. no food banks, no financial help of any kind .. I talked to a couple of good people there and thieving does cross their mind when they are "hungry" and we line the establishments along the beach eating and drinking .. they hide away at dinner time have you noticed? Not the type of food they want to eat anyway .. that's why most stay healthy. Ok ranting along here .. I don't write often but it builds my strength and understanding for my next reach as I pack my bags full of gifts, toiletries, dishes, clothing for the needy ones. Blessed day everyone.

I just found out that If I put golfballs in my mouth I know Everything.

Kinda like the Marlon Brando of Jamaica.

I pity the poor golf. Is that some kind of bird or a street corner punk you busted?

You have never been accused of knowing everything. Far from that.

Have a great day!

Yeah, he is the life of the party. One of those "pull my finger" kind of guys. Funny, like a fart in a spacesuit. Gets you a giggle when you do it if that's what funny is all about.

Must have been a riot to have around the police station.

Pretty funny.
