Roes might be red or violets could be blue but I thought I would begin by laying my cards on the table for you.

Hello! After 901 posts I officially resigned from my old forum and I am now looking for a new forum were I can simply have a bit of fun and maybe learn a thing or two.
One of the reasons I looked towards Jamaica for a new forum was because I also live on an Island so I thought we would have something in common. Cheers!

Welcome to ETJ,
I hope that you will find this forum as fulfilling or rather, MORE fulfilling than your last.

Here on ETJ , we are a composite of Jamaicans (living at home as well as North America and Europe), Americans, Canadians, British, Africans and other West Indians.

With our diverse cultures and (often strong) opinions we chat, laugh, cry and (sometimes) fight like siblings in any traditional family, but very cohesive in our love for everything Jamaican.

Please join our family by first telling us a little about yourself: Country of origin, favorite points for discussion, etc

Well I have no siblings to speak of - but I have had the same wife for the last 32 years and together we raised two boys who are now out in the work force.
Our oldest son is a baking chief in Nanimo and our youngest son cuts the legs off cow carcasses as they go down a production line in Alberta Canada. My favorite topic would be my family – my Country - trying to get a chuckle or two and Merry Christmases. Cheers!

OMG I'm from Calgary, Alberta!! LOL that's so funny! How long's your son been here?

He has been there 3 years too long. He and his gal “had” to leave Vancouver Island in search of work and found it in Alberta.
Now that the Island has a booming economy we hope to see them soon.

Yea you can't really beat the job situation here, there's billions of jobs.

What island are you from?

I live on Vancouver Island BC in a small town called Nanoose Bay.

Nanoose was once the Aboriginal word for friendly and the town folk here are still pretty friendly.
I used to live in Coquitlam BC and coquitlam used to be the Aboriginal word for – many red fish but that’s not so true anymore because the salmon stock is dying off at an alarming rate.

This is really weird! I lived in Coquitlam for 2 years while going to college. I thought you meant you were from a Caribbean island since you mentioned getting to know Jamaica because you also live on an island.

What a small world.
