Dear Pastor...

lol
lol
lol

i listen to '.Pastor.' most nights (down here)
...and sometimes at *home* in foreign, ESPECIALLY before a trip

'.Pastor.' is PERFECT for getting ready to visit Jamaica
...that radio program will "..get your mind right.."

p.s.... the fact of the matter IS:::>> Listening to '.Dear Pastor.' SHOULD be required-listening for anyone coming to Jamaica for first-time (or any-times, too)

Preach on Pastor Smith! I am aware "had a realization/revelation some years back" that the reason I enjoy hanging out with these guy's is that they are always available for a game of ludi or dominos or to share a few drinks. Some sell at a store, some cook, some make/sell crafts, some seem to just be idlers, but they are all parts of the machine, the amusement park that is negril.
I am not a cheap charlie, negril definition of a tourist/visitor that doesn't spend money or always tries to get the most awesome bargains, I treat my "friends" well, include ALL in the party everytime, tip the proprietor, bring gifts from foriegn for the "family", remittances I suppose.
It makes me feel good to do these things, just today I bought 5 guys ea. shirts/jeans at a local closeout store "Bealls Outlet", total expediture $55 US, well within my means. I am blessed, have a great job, wife, family, all the toys I never use. I guess I'm just a sucker, nah tru?

I don't however, EVER give the downtown by scotia bank tour guide rasta, the mushroom man, the can I beg you an anything, or the money changing teifs, even One Cent US! Guess I am a cheap charlie to them, aren't they also players in the grand game?

while her man was off chattin' with Herbie
she was off to the side near a lounge chair

i was about to sit down pon the lounger
when while pointing at some liquid spilled on the lounge-cushion, she-SAY::::>> "..Watch out ... it's wet .... you'd better ask them for a paper towel.."

i LAUGH-ed & shrieked:::>>> "..WHAT,,,,,,!!!!!@! ?????!!!! .... WHERE are YOU from...???????????????.." while laughing & laughing & laughing all the while

Question::>> How Come in the Ja-supermarket, they got NO scanners,

it blows my mind
..'cause there's NO-way in the world this could/would ever happen in my hometown Washington DC
