Gerry, when you wrote 'I hate that' I believed your words. It never crossed my mind that meant knowing him a long time LOL.
Yesterday I was at the wall in front of ValueMaster tasting a jackfruit before buying. Three school children honed in on me, one stood to my left, the 2 smaller ones to my right, none of them said a word. I turned to the tall one on my left and in a low voice said, "If you are thinking to beg me, don't start." The jackfruit vendor laughed and the children drifted away, no harm, no foul. I felt good about our interactions.
Here's a time when I did NOT feel good:
I was about to enter the ATM at HiLo. I saw a man with locks moving toward me, I heard the word 'Empress' and assumed he was going to make a hit on me for money or love so I turned away and ignored him. As I went into the ATM I heard him mention 'reggae cd's' to some people standing there, and he talked to them so nicely. I felt sad that I had blown him off with my assumption, shorting both of us a pleasant interaction. I looked for him when I came out but he had moved on.
Beggars are annoying, but when people flash wads of cash on this site or give them what they ask for it seems odd to complain...
Can I beg for some money to go to Negril to check out the begging problem??![]()
Missing Jamaica
I hear ya Lisa, I guess I just don't think of Bobo the same as I would someone standing at the roundabout begging money off strangers coming outta the atm etc....it really wasn't any of my business anyways. lol
I did understand the general point, just was a little miffed at the tone and language.
Sorry for being a smartass, it doesn't come across well on a screen.
Anyways, on that note I think I should apolgozie for feeding into some of the drama lately (not related to this thread) I usually do my best to stay outta stuff when it doesn't even pertain to me and be neutral whether I am in agreement or not. So to anyone who has seen me act caddy or childish etc, I'm sorry. Not proud of it....and I'm not even gonna try to blame it on the fact that I haven't had a cigarette in 3 effin days. I'm a big girl and I'll go ahead and own it. ugh
and Gerry is grown, he certainly doesn't need me to defend him lol
Kumbaya y'all (hehe)
Stir IT UP
Here is video of a rainy day at Half Moon Beach:
Tiz, you are a passionate lady with a solid BS meter, no need to apologize. The pot shots on certain peeps perpetuated by others is BS and needs to subside. Excepting differences takes a stronger person, talking $hit comes too easy to some. I choose to allow Karma to lead me to the light. However, we all have what drives us........... And peeps, just remember that pretty much anything posted on FB can be viewed. Just saying.....
so Gerry, looking forward to your next installment.......
