Yep I am a free ooman. I really got sick of seeing Samuels Hardware. And it still will be a busy life because we have plans for a big garden. Ted says it will be producing by the time I get back. We fenced the side yard so the goats won't eat all his stuff. Pumpkin, okra, salad [tomatoes), and cucumber (pronounced coo cumber). He also has 3 coconut trees growing that Chef Junior gave to us.

And Gal, I posted about us getting together in another thread, but I know we will not lose touch. I am so glad that I met you over there and developed a friendship. You are a great gal.

Yes was great meeting you too. Despite the highs and lows of living here in Ja i have been lucky to find good friends and our own likkle supportive community here.

I hope you do keep in touch and let me know when you will be over there. Peace n nuf luv, JM

ok a heres what i want to know. if you stay for more than 6 months what could happen? say that you dont owe land and you are staying with someone that you know, that was born and raised in jamaica?

They could deport you and take away your passport so you could not return.

hmmmm wonder if its worth the risk? there is a guy that i work with the was born and raised in jamaica and owns 4 houses in 7 miles. i was trying to figure out if i wanted to move back there with him or not when he goes.

If you own property and stay there a certain amount of time, you can actually apply as a citizen.
