Shaking of heads..etc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to this I am not your typical Jamaican. Wow, that came as a surprsie...lol!

I won't climb the mountain but 1000's of steps just to look down.

Have Taco Salad for dinner before I do rice and peas

Don't feel right slapping the kids and they get way too much. They promised me a nice nursing home.

No sah, on the dog thing but I cried when my cat went missing. I told my cousin I had a headache. No I am not going in the haunted house. I have a decent respect for duppy.

Every few weeks I'd take over the cooking and make a real South Philly Italian meal at the yard.

After a few times folks from all over the district were coming for diner.

Only problem was getting good orangano
