i'm SOooooooooooo upset,
'cause i didn't get to spend more time with MissSonia
...[[[ and several other folks over in Negril ]]]
:-(

the rain-showers, and other issues mashed-up my plans
...Darn...!!!... ---- i HATE these short trips

i'll post more about MissSonia & Brian later

oh
oh:::>> MissSonia needs::>> some Alka Seltzer Plus, tablets
....i hunted high & low and couldn't find any

so if any of you's are going down soon,
carry her some Alka Seltzer Plus

needs it for some kinda health issues

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

and *they*-SAY::>> "..you can find anything in Negril/Jamaica, that you'll find in foreign.."

Brian has graduated from high school
..his plan..??.. --- continue his education
.....take culinary courses and other tourism courses in Jamaica (MoBay)

i've *watch-ed* him for several years
...seen him grow & mature
.....watch him turn into an *old* man

i remember when,
sometimes MissSonia would be out & about,
..doing church stuff or something
.....and Brian would be running-the-show::: taking orders, prepare-ing the food, serving, & collecting the money

i was really tickled when i saw him *training* a much older guy in the preparation of MissSonia's famous patties. The trainee was at least 15 years older than Brian (at the time).

WATCH out for Brian......!!!!!...
..he's GOING to be a super-star.... BELIEVE DAT...!!!...

[smith744]

well, Folks
..that's it for this thread

more videos, pics & text-stuff soon come (later next-day)

any questions..??..

{{Smithie}} I am so pleased to have opened and read this thread ... I will be arriving really soon & and need to check things at Costco before I go - I can carry Miss Sonia a "Costco Size" bottle of the Alkaseltzer (sp?)

I could not agree more with your thoughts about all the Big Kahoona's taking over the water fronts over in Lucea area / and elsewhere around the Island. I remember some years back when Grand Paladium was still in the building process - I expressed similar thoughts of :-( ... and you got after me cuz I was not supporting the progress and jobs and what not;

I think we all "hope" for more of a balance ~

anyhoo - continuing to enjoy your reports - always good fun.

(BOAL!! about your friend at the shop that is wanting a Wife From Foreign ~ you are crazy ~)

please please PLEASE tell her (and Brian),
that i'm VERY-sorry that i didn't get back to '.check them.'

...*stuff* happened/popped-up, such rain,
lack-of-time, a too-short trip, rain,
bizness in Lucea and in-country, rain
blah blah raa raa etc etc and rain

:-(

Don't Laugh...!!!..

a SERIOUS thing this...!!!..

you won't believe how many times i've had requests for a from-foreign-wife

one guy was VERY specific::>> he wanted and '.Indian.'
not a Native American
...the other kind of 'Indian'

i *think* he wanted an Indian,
'cause he had strong-Indian features,
and for breeding purposes, he wanted these attributes in a wife

stay tuned
NEXT-trip i WILL get some of these guys on-video,
so you-all can see/hear dem in their own words
...'cause some of you's think i'm making this stuff up

3-4 of them wanted to be on video,
and give out their phone numbers
...but because of scheduling conflicts, the video didn't get made

but i REALLY want you-all to hear the '.why's.'
..why they want a foreign-wife

of course, we all know it's so that they can get the heck out of Jamaica,

but, i did ask one-guy::::>> "..suppose i found a Jamaican lady, with American citizenship .... would she do...???..."

he paused
and pondered

nope
he didn't want that

* sigh *

[Laurel]

I KNOW you are not making it up about the Foreign Wifey Thingy ... I hear it all the time too ~

"bring your sister to meet me!!" yada yada

I am happy to carry her the Akaseltzer Plus - I often use that too for a cold -

it has been too long since I have seen her. I can't believe how grown up Brian is!! Nice young man ~
