..
some *food* for-thought ____
.
day before yesterday,
a neighbor-lady
came to check-me:::>> she wanted some money [[ duh ]]

money to buy some chicken,
for her church event on Thursday-coming...and annual thing-y, fellowship, blah blah for Easter.

ummmmmmmmmm
[[[ she & I have had $$$-issues in the past ]]]

''..check with me tomorrow..'' <<:: me-SAY
''... OK ..''

next-morning,
I stroll down the road/lane
to chat with another neighbor-lady
who attends same church

me-SAY::>> ''... blah blah blah ... what's up with this event..??... blah blah blah..''

next-lady explains
.
.
THAT NIGHT,
after fooling around all day
in & around Lucea and environs
I return home to-yard.

me hear voices ... shouting voices:::>> ''... WHY you go checking on me ..??... blah blah blah ... you don't trust me blah blah .. I wouldn't blah blah ....'''

* sigh *

me-SAY::>> '''...here's the money you wanted..''

they stopped argue-ing & fuss-ing ... argument done.
.
.
2-points, here ____

#1... me NO-care how she feel/felt ... we had *history*, and I HAD TO ''verify'' .... no matter what dem say

#2... this *situation* proves/shows my frequently mentioned thing-y:::>>> there AIN'T no secrets in Jamaica .... ONLY 2-peoples knew of my initial investigative query .... and in less than 12-hours, the *word* was out ....

the proverbial African drum was working over-time, na tru

but as my FAVORITE singer sings:::>> ''...People talk ..... that's WHAT they do... la la la la..''

.
.
p.s..... from the start,
I kinda-sorta
figured this would happen,
but NOT that quickly

me was *test-ing* the system [[ wink wink ]]

bottom-line:::::>>>> conduct YOUR-self according-ly.
