Gerry G's TRAIL OF ASHES TOUR Final Chapter -- The Mighty Californian's return

[gerryg123]

Gerry, did you ever consider bringing your daughters to Jamaica?

Yes, they've been three times. They like it just as much as I do, especially the RIU. They once stayed at Legends, too.

Damn I should shut up but.....

Last year I bought stuff, paid workers and "gave" to the tune of 40K US

I say again "judge not..lest ye be judged"

[TizzyATX]

I had a local woman give me crap for talking to someone that was begging up money the first year I was here & then proceeded to give him crap...

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

Tizzy,

Lola's point is that simply giving money to anyone perpetuates the practice of begging. Tizzy, I am sure you work for your money and dont expect handouts. You seem to me to be a responsible parent and can understand that if your children grew up expecting people to simply give them money what problems this would cause.

Gerry can choose or not choose to give people money, that is his choice. But to hand out money to people who ask for it, like it or not, does continue the idea that they dont need to work, but simply ask for money.

And if I am not mistaken, isnt that one of the most complained about aspects of travelers heading to developing countries? If people stop giving money to beggers, there will be less begging because they would no longer expect to be able live that way.

Really, this is not a very hard concept here....

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)

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.......
