Another LIKE for TAH, HarryS et al. I too have felt the negativity and hostility when trying to voice my opinion or contribute to the discussion.

I don't have time to look back in the posts to see who the big fan of Jamaican limes versus "North American" limes is but on the topic of laughter, their comment made me laugh. Especially after my wife cracked up laughing last week when she ordered a vodka/tonic at Roots Bamboo and this piece of lime the size (diameter and thickness) of a penny came in the drink. If Jamaican limes are so plentiful and cheap, why are they so miserly with them at bars?

I will come to Vi's rescue and to publicly disclose that my wife also does bring limes with her when we are returning to Jamaica. Yes, she knows the rules. They are in a clear Ziploc bag in her carry on. Sometimes the TSA security in Toronto check her bag and ironically enough some of those security agents are even of Jamaican descent. They know the rules, they see the limes. She declares them on her Jamaican customs and immigration form and is rarely questioned about them. Never ever have they been confiscated and/or has she received a fine.

Sometimes there are even work gloves in my luggage that we use to pick up trash along the beach or along the roadside in the morning when we walk the dog. That same trash is then disposed of at our curb when our private contractor garbage hauler comes to pick up our self generated refuse.

You like chocolate, I like vanilla. You like rum, I like beer.

Nuff said.

Respect.
