[Laurel]

{{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 ~)

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 *

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 ~
