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?
