**off-Site (pre)-TripReport --e-chats with Ja-play-dawta

[smith744]

the-Third-person
i contacted in Jamaica of my upcoming trip
was my Ja-play-dawta

Several years ago,
mid-Summer
i met her when she was the
administrative assistant
at a Lucea computer/internet place

I was impressed with her attitude
and the fact that she could type
about 80-90 words per minute
with TWO-fingers

there was another female-worker there
who was even faster --- more like 100 wpm

My play-dawta
taught me a lot

would NEVER speak to me unless it was Patois
:-(
trying to make me learn the language
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

i now-do unna-stand better
but still can't speak it properly

She also turned me onto some neat Ja-phrases/sayings:::

such as, once there was a new employee,
who wasn't up to snuff,
and not learning as quickly as she should

I told my play-dawta to help her
and be patient with her

she-SAY:::>>> "... I ain't got time to breast-feed nobody.."

* sigh *

love(ed) that phrase so-so much,
that I FREQUENTLY use it today
(here in-foreign)
when the *need* arises

get some interesting responses, too
lol
lol
lol

anyhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

when first-met,
play-dawta had just finished high school..
has since gotten married,
and has one-likkle boy
[[[ cute likkle thing ... spoiled rotten ... must be 'bout 3+ years now ]]]




I email dawta
let her know me '..soon come..'

at end of my email,
i jokingly asked::>>> "..how many pickney you got now..??.."

below,
her response

:-(

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I TOLD her NOT to *do-that*......!!!...

oh well
so it goes

my fellow-boardies ~~~ got a question:::>>> "..how's Portmore..??.."

is it safe.??

i was hope-ing/planning on linking with her in the West (i.e., Westmoreland/Hanover),
at her mom's house
..the odds are pretty good that she's going to come over to Westmoreland/Hanover sometime over the holiday(s)

today,
i'm not *feel-ing* an excursion over-to Portmore.

while driving from portland to negril i got lost when i took the wrong turn and ended up in portmore.
like everything else in jamaica, some good parts and some scary . . .
