Hey guys

Charlie i dont like traffic at all and now schools are back in full swing, i have to leave out early, lol, i want to catch the most worms, lol

 

[CharlieD10]

Haha, Chelley, the plans are in the making now. Make sure you build a bunker under the house to hide him!

I love the service in small towns at places like the Post office and so on. Can't beat it with a stick. In Kingston you are one in a sea of faces, and they just want you to hurry up and leave them alone.

Yeah, earthquakes are always scary, this one shook me awake. For a minute I was convinced I was dreaming, but finally I got up and checked Facebook, and sure enough my Kingston contacts had felt it too. 4:30 in the morning is a scary time for these things, people are deep in sleep.

Jahlove, I hate the traffic with a passion. I love that I live close enough to HWT now so that I walk everywhere there. When I lived in Hughenden, I would be catching the bus at 6:30 and getting to work at 7:15, because later than that and it was dead business to reach work before 8:30.

So so, I chatted with confused earlier this week. His process is painstaking to say the least. He is still waiting for the ARC request and we all hope they request the PP same time

Happy TGIF forum family

Hope you are all well there aren't many updates lately but that doesnt mean KGN is not working. I sometimes try to read (if not post) as I always remember the support and help this forum gave me when I was going through. I describe it like a rollercoaster ride taking the rough with the smooth so although my hubby is here I still like to try & encourage the "newer" ones.

One month on things are good i've been busy at work and hubby still doing a training course when he is certified hopefully he will get work (in month/half). We may be moving to a 3 bed (rather than 2) by summer not far from where live now but here has no backyard for the kids. new house new baby? lol still working on that.......

Anyway those who are mothers HAPPY MOTHERS Day (when it comes) and those who arent cherish your mother/grandmother as much as possible (i've unfortunately lost mine but she's always in my heart). No special plans just go salon tomorrow, sunday church and hubby will cook me breakfast/lunch & dinner (which he does best)

CONGRATS for those got through, HI NEW MEMBERS, and GOOD LUCK for upcoming interviews. Have a great weekend all!!

 

[lonely_wife]

chukie...long time we didn't hear from you... I am glad to see that things are going well... Have a great weekend girl you deserve it

 

[CharlieD10]

Hey chukie and lonely_wife! And good morning to everyone.

Chukie, so pleased to hear hubby's first month of settling in is going well. Moving on up to a 3 bedroom, who knows you might decide to fill that extra bedroom after all!

I am awake this morning after staying up until midnight ON time with hubby and a couple of friends at our website's chat room. (Link in my signature). Whole lot of laughter and fun, as we threw requests for music videos at my husband and he found them at Youtube and posted them and we listened to them together and drank whatever we were drinking. I had 2 Red Stripe Light, because I am a cheap drunk and that's all I can manage. Of course, there was some insulting going on about people's music choices, as everybody was crying down my requests for country music videos, haha. All in all, we find it a good way to spend a Friday night, we are together, we have friends and we have music. Yes, we are thousands of miles apart, but who says you can't throw a party over the internet!

Lonely_wife, how is that cough coming along? I am hoping that you feel better soon, spring colds suck only slightly less than summer colds, LOL. I will buy some Benjamin's Honeytime and send with hubby for you, seriously you'll thank me for it. If nothing else, it tastes a whole heap better than Buckleys!

I bought a bunch of work clothes yesterday, after 5 years in uniform, I owned nothing that still fits. Still searching for something appropriate, but I didn't want to be caught without something appropriate to wear when I do! After last night I have made up my mind to stop looking at clothing tags...some things I bought were size 6, which I understand is my size, and yet most of the things I bought had 11/12 tags. ??? No idea who is tagging these clothes, but after being scared and depressed to think I was a size 12, I have decided it is better for my mental health to just wear what fits and ignore the tags. :-X

 

[lonely_wife]

Charlie!!!! Cough is still bugging me but it seems to be getting a bit better... I been drinking buckleys tastes awful but it seems to be working I need some of that benjamin's honeytime so you will have to tell Mr where to get it lol when I asked him about it he had never heard of it but Mr is never sick so maybe thats why... Glad you guys had fun yesterday.. I was gonna go join you guys but I fell asleep and never woke up til it was time for me to get ready for work...

I hope everyone is having a great weekend and I would like to take a moment to wish all the mothers a awesome mothers day

 

[proper]

Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms on here and nuff respect for the job you ladies do day in day out. Special thanks to my wife for giving me the best gift i ever got in all my years of existence and even more for playing her role as well as mine.
So once again Mommies.... Happy Mothers Day, i salute you all!

 

[CharlieD10]

Good afternoon everyone and happy Mothers Day to all the mothers in our little group! I hope there were plenty of breakfasts in bed today, or special brunches, lunches and dinners in the plans!

For those of you who are apart from some part of your family, remember that sacrifice is one of the most important attributes of good mothers, and some day you will pass on to your children the strength, perseverance and love you learned as part of this process.

Have a wonderful day, everyone!

 

[jahlove]

Morning jahlove and everyone!

I see jahlove and her Mom had an excellent Mother's Day, I hope everyone else did too!

My Mom is, of course, in Westmoreland, so I didn't get to see her but everyone called to wish her a good day. She was tickled pink that my husband called her too. As she does with all her children by marriage, she has "adopted" him too, and now she is Mom to him as well. Since he lost his mother in his teens, I am pleased they have developed a good relationship. I suspect they would still be mother and son even if he gave me the boot!

To stave off a serious case of Monday blues, I thought some laughter was called for: I've shared this one before, but it has been expanded on!

10 Husbands, Still a Virgin
A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands.

On their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be gentle, I'm still a virgin."

"What?" said the puzzled groom.

"How can that be if you've been married ten times?"

"Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative: he kept telling me how great it was going to be.

Husband #2 was in software services: he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he'd look into it and get back to me.

Husband #3 was from field services: he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up.

Husband #4 was in telemarketing: even though he knew he had the order, he didn't know when he would be able to deliver.

Husband #5 was an engineer: he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.

Husband #6 was from finance and administration: he thought he knew how, but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not.

Husband #7 was in marketing: although he had a nice product, he was never sure how to position it.

Husband #8 was a psychologist: all he ever did was talk about it.

Husband #9 was a gynecologist: all he did was look at it.

Husband #10 was a stamp collector: all he ever did was... God! I miss him! But now that I've married you, I'm really excited!"

"Good," said the new husband, "but, why?"

"You're a lawyer. This time I know I'm gonna get screwed!

Have a great Monday everyone, let's hear it for KG! NEXT!

 

[nae-nae]

hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well and Happy belated Mother's day to all the wonderful mom's on this forum

sorry I've been so busy lately, we are planning our own wedding reception party for our friends and family here which is on the 14th of May, so we are preparing for that, preparing for family to come stay at our house and doing some yard work because a giant tree split in half falling on neighbour's yard behind me during that awful wind storm but it clipped the corner of my yard...it took down our wire fence and now we have to deal with a huge log stump with an iron pole and fence through the middle of it. We cleaned out the area by the stump and now we're scratching our heads trying to figure out what to do now. We also bought a new shed which we have to put up where the darn stump is lol

ahh well....we'll deal with it after our party

no rest for the wicked right? lol

have a great week everyone, I'm hoping for more updates from KG for those that are waiting

 

[CharlieD10]

Hi Nae.

Sounds like you have a big problem with that tree! After I chop down the mango tree here, I will send my chain saw to you guys.

I hope you have a great time planning the reception and have a great day! We did a small reception in Negril for members of family who couldn't make it to the wedding ceremony after we moved up the date, we cut the cake, they watched the wedding video and look at the pics taken and then we all went to the beach. I had a great time, and I wish for you and Mr. Nae the same fun-filled and joyous family atmosphere we had.

 

[nae-nae]

thanks charlie!! I'd love to borrow your chain saw but we can't use one on this stump...it has an iron pole and an iron chain link fence through it so no chain saw for this big baby :'( :'(

thanks for the well wishes for the reception. My family and friends couldn't make it to our wedding in JA and quite frankly we couldn't afford a gigantic wedding...the more people that wanted to come, the more it was going to cost....so we said forget that, we had a wedding in JA on the beach with a reception for his family and friends afterwards and we're having an afternoon reception party here for my family and friends. I'm sure it will be fun, it's just the planning phase and last minute stuff that are a pain in the butt! oh and not to mention trying to clean up the whole house and find sleeping arrangements for his family members that are coming. He has a cousin in Montreal and one in Windsor who are coming and a cousin in JA that wants to come and bring her husband....although they didn't bother applying for their TRV until last Thursday. I don't think they'll get an answer in time but hubby thinks they will. This cousin already had a multiple TRV that just expired but the husband never has had one. I don't know what the timelines for the TRV are these days but I doubt they'll get an answer in time.

 

[CharlieD10]

Dang...that's a dilemma with that tree.

I get the part on the gigantic wedding! That's one of the reasons we ended up getting married in Kingston and not Negril, because all the family and friends who would expect to have been invited and taken offense not to be if we did it in Negril were way too many, what with my family being from down there. At the dinner following the ceremony we had 12 people, at the luncheon and cake cutting in August we had another 12.

Trust me, people love wedding pictures, my relatives didn't mind looking through ours on the laptop, and watching the video. My grandmother was just happy we did it in a church after all, haha. Everything will go great, you'll see!
