I exchanged polite banter and laughter with a stranger in Sugar and Spice. I collected my meal, said bye and left. Outside, a suspicious man was lurking and tried to back me up by the car. The stranger noticed. Ran outside, and guarded over me. I appreciate him.
Fun fact: Jamaica imports sperm. Local sperm banks don't use sperm from Jamaican men to impregnate women. Probability of family connections too high on an island like ours.
My husband and I just had the nicest ice-cream date. U woulda tink is me and people man. Him buy we 2 big ice-cream, and we just walk and talk from end to end inna di plaza til dem done. Then him kiss me and we go into our seperate vehicle fi come home. Love nice.
It drove my mother nuts that I was the child in every club and society. She wanted me to focus. I wanted to pursue every passion. I'm not yet 40 and I've had a fulfilling career in 4 fields. We aren't just 1 thing. And that's OK. Do the things that make you happy. Life short.
Traffic moving so slow, I can eavesdrop on entire pedestrian conversations. Apparently, Jermaine dem making this 1 girl feel like she hot. And dem must stop it.
Recently, a JA church offered to pay to build a community centre. In exchange they wanted to hold services there and stipulated that no Muslims were to be allowed in the building. The community run the church rahtid and told them to keep their money.

I'm in a taxi in Panama listening to local radio. DJ is playing a set and drops in Buju's Dickie, Kartel's Sen On and Echo Minott's What the He'll the Police Can do. When music sweet him, DJ bawl out a big fat dutty Jamaican BBC....on national radio. LOL

This is a public service announcement.
This is part of why I love my hubby. No sooner did Kwasi get the light bill, as mi blink......
Nothing sexy like the sound of MY man on the roof connecting this himself.

Got a call from a young company rep. I used the word "hiatus". She asked, after a tiny pause, "Can you explain what that actually means please". I did. I have zero issues with that exchange. Take every opportunity to learn. Better that, than pretend you know, and stay ignorant.
This is NOT it folks!

, beg oonu please reassess the approach to potential national disasters. In the absence of information, people get scared. Yesterday and today, you should have had live updates. This is NOT it!
I'm laughing so hard I choke. Man just walked over, looked in my eye and said "Wow. All feminine beauty. No additives, no preservatives. U related to KFC, cause yu just right!"
How do I explain my husband's talent? Man good for no reason. Jus so. He wanted a desk. He made that IN 2 DAYS! With very basic tools in our garage. The man blows my mind!
This ankle length school uniform for girls is ridiculous. Utter foolishness! It's freaking hot. Their ginas will scratch! And who did plan fi bad, long frock not going to stop them!
Big and serious, what is it gonna take for us to open a Performing Arts High School in Jamaica. The Alpha blueprint is proof of the magic we could make. So is Little People. What if we as a country stop soso beaming with pride and instead start sowing the proper seeds!!!!
365 days of laughter, of dreaming, of working towards those dreams together, of compromise, of adoration, of great meals, of memories made, of family time, of binge watching, of peace. Happy Anniversary my love.

We are covid consumed, as we should be, but I'm asking that we also remain Dengue vigilant. The mosquito population has visibly increased. Drastically. New MPs, please arrange fogging.
Allow me to brag just a little. House prices are unreasonably ridiculous. Kwasi decided he is gonna build our home with his own hands. It's time for the plumbing. Look what my husband did.

Dear WhatsApp groups and chronic forwarders, I'm avoiding you. Your obsession with sharing negative news too heavy for the happy girl. See oonu after covid. Good Morning to everybody else. I wish you a delicious Sunday dinner.
Day 1 wearing a mask. 100% I'm for it, and I get that it will keep us safer, but it's really hard to breathe in this thing. Better mi jus stay home yaw.
To the daddy and son at
@dominos
Red Hills Rd. last night, I celebrate you both. I was walking out, arms full, and without missing a beat, with no prompting from anyone, the boy rushed to open and hold the door for me. Daddy, you're raising an amazing gentleman, Thank You..both!
At a supermarket promotion with my team. Customer comes over.
Me: Sir, can you put on your mask please.
Him: I don't have one.
Me: Would you like one for free?
Him: I don't wear mask.
Me: Then you can't come over here.
I don't play with my team's safety!
I got a call from the Director of Communication from
@heartnstatrust
with an apology. I should not have been turned away. The archaic policy still lingers and all gatekeepers and administrators will be reminded that the sleeveless rule is NO MORE.
Trying to get my transcripts from both Unis I have attended. Uni of Edinburgh has been a breeze. I applied online, it was FREE to email to me. UWI......$1000 plus delivery / printing fee...and you CAN'T get it via e-mail. Pick up or courier only. Sigh. Modernize UWI.
When I see communications failure during crisis.....especially from entities that ought to know better, my blood boils! Hurricane season, silent. Fires, silent. Earthquake, silent. What's yu purpose?

Good
- Food was yummy
- Easy to place the order and speak to restaurant
- Apparently, all the pan chicken folks sold out
- Rider was well branded
Bad
- Took 3 hours to delivered
- needed to be packaged better for the ride
6.5/10. The issues are fixable.
Hey! Look who we found?!
@findpatria
! Truth is, she was never lost! Matter of fact she’s so ‘found’, it’s not even funny! An amazing woman, hear more from Patroa Kay Charles, this Monday!
#SimSoulSessions

#TrueStory
Scandal plenty like sand a sea. When last smaddy faced any real consequences for stealing from us? Name me 1 in the last 2 decades. I can reel out the scandals one after the other and you tell me who paid back the money / served time / was blacklisted from the party ......
To see a company I love and love working for turn 100 is joy. I kept a secret from my JA team. As at today, they are ALL part owners of Massy, the company they work so hard to make a success. Now, my colleagues are my bosses, and that makes me beyond proud.
#MassyOur100
I neeaarrllyyyy got caught yu nuh. The email thumbnail was exactly the same as
@ncbja
I said "dem cyaan trick me" and checked the sender's email...and it was a domain. I nearly clicked. NCB's domain is , not NCB. Scammers good man!
JMD$250K worth of imported raw materials: $0 worth of duties and taxes. Jamaican Productive Imputs Relief Incentive works. Manufacturers, Apply!!! Sidebar: I know enough manufacturers aren't making use of it because Customs staff had to call head office for logging instructions.
7 miles of beach and I am the only person out here to enjoy it. Covid is hurting Negril badly. Many are jobless and have been since April. Could you do without a salary for 6 months?
BIG UP
@JamaicaConstab
! Your quick thinking and swift action today, putting your own fleet on the road to fill the gap, recognizing the vulnerability of our students and transporting those you could to school .... BIG UP!
See, this is why we must take every weather threat as serious. A hurricane, often compact and powerful, breezes through with swift destruction, and as yu blink, it gone. A storm, (Ike Ida), 2 days rain and counting.....and she's didn't even make a direct hit.
There and NO health care workers positive in JA. Not 1.
Those who treated patients who subsequently tested positive are in isolation. They have been tested and found negative. But out of an abundance of caution, are in isolation. Don't spread unnecessary panic. KMT
This is my Grade 4 teacher. I saw her yesterday and cried. I remember that she bought me a book for my birthday 33 years ago; 'The White Witch of Rosehall', and how it made me feel special. She was one of those teachers that made me enjoy learning. I appreciate you Miss Pitt.
I am the woman of this house....so I jus plug out the 1 Google she. Asked her a question 3 times. No response. Kwasi asked her the SAME thing ONCE and she answer. Mi plug her out. Brite.

A taxi man just let me cut in front of him. I was in utter shock . Til I noticed I was behind a dripping Cesspool truck. Taxi man just needed a buffer.

I did some flowers for the house yesterday with my nephew and niece. As we did, I gave thanks for my 1st form teacher Mrs. Green who started a club at Campion: Green Generation. She taught us how to do arrangements and to take time to notice beauty around us. I appreciated her.
Sunday night was simply magic. We threw a sheet over mummy's clothesline, put up a speaker and projector and had family movie night on the grass. We laughed, ate popcorn, hug up and were just happy.

On Friday, I saw 2 little girls (no more than 12yo) chase him in a parking lot for a picture. After graciously posing, he prayed with them. It was a beautiful moment to observe.

No man. Pay attention in your community today today folks. Yu see a baby in the care of a woman who never pregnant? Yu hear baby crying over a yard where there should be none? Talk up. Return the people's stolen child!!!!!!!!!!
