Hi Smith, hope you haven't worn out your welcome at your host's place. You're messing with the man's property (door, electrician, paint) and you are not his brother, his son or his woman. It took me a couple years to understand the sense of this.
His yard, his rule, avoid friction with non-family men = peace in the yard.

...i'll be posting more which may give YOU some *insight*
.......as you are WELL-aware, there's a LOT that isn't *spell-ed out*, for various *reasons*, especially because of the nature of the internet, this-board, etc etc.
over the years,
i've been *walking* a ridiculous-ly TIGHT-line with my posts,
....almost like walking on egg shells.
.........but thankfully, the feed-back i've gotten from numerous Ja-*residents* on & off-island, in Negril/Westmoreland/Hanover has been a consistant:::>>>> """Bill, ...Thanks,,, KEEP doing whatcha doing...'''
Stay-tuned, Lola
....there might be a couple of up-coming posts which may *clarify* some *issues* [[[[ time permitting ]]]]
.........better-yet::::>>> as has happened in the past::::>>>> YOU & I can/should sit down and take a likkle-time and chat/*reason* ---- at that time, i can fill-in a few *blanks* that I can't post

Cool. Ohh smith the things we could talk about! Hope you can make a winter visit, and stay a month or more.
TAH: I get what you are saying, because that is our from-foreign perspective.
(FYI, Smith was not doing for the LL's girlfriend)
Jamaicans can be long-suffering and NOT say what they are thinking. But if you ask them, they will tell you.
Example: I asked a couple young-er women to accompany me to Sav. When I was looking at mattresses, I asked the sales assistant if I could lie down, she said yes and pulled back the spread at the foot of the bed, so my feet would go on the plastic covering. After I laid there a minute I asked my friends, "No Jamaican would do this, would they?" They laughed and said NO, Never!! (as far as their experience goes, anyway)

NOW THAT
last-likkle-bit
is soooooooooooosooooooooooooooooo IMPORTANT....!!!...
'cause just like in ANY other country, place, town, city, state, municipality, blah blah blah,
there're sooooooooooooooo many ''''...Jamaican *experiences*....'''''
PJ, Seaga & Portia got one *experience*
my landlord and some my Lucea-country-neighbors got another
Butch Stewart another
Beenie Man, VibeKartel another
school teacher, electrician, my-Lucea-mentor, got another
doctor, lawyer, from-India-guy got another
and on and on and on
and let's not leave out the China-man's *experience*

Gosh I enjoy your post~~!!!!! PLEASE continue!
"I'll love you till the stars fall out of the sky "

Smith... I only have 15 nights in Jamaica- 8 in Ochi, 7 in Negril.
To say that I *loved* my time in Negril is an understatement only I can understand...
It has been so interesting to read your posts...
Eventually I will get away from the Beach, but the sea calls to me and the sand tells her what to say...
I will see the country, in good time
In the meantime, I enjoy to know more and more...
Many thanks for your unique perspective
Love and respect
Mel
