Aquavit wrote a very good piece in this thread. It is either above this OR (if this post is on page 2) SEE THE BOTTOM of page 1.
I write/post this here Because of my sentence #1 AND I think it worthy of being read, plus the fact
I had just deleted a duplicated posting of mine causing his post which was the top of page 2 to get slide into page 1.
Lembert's bus and the giving of 'gifts' certainly has downsides overlooked. In my personal life, if I have something for a baby or a dog, I give it to the parent. I hope you see the wisdom in this.
Tangent; when I read the expensive gift situation, I am reminded of a lady that was so proud of bringing down NEW bed sheet sets costing $20 each. I do know how sheets (and shoes) ARE appreciated, but she could not grasp that good used bed sheets would be equally appreciated*** while also stretching her dollar.
*** trust me on this. 'good' means used but in great shape.
If you are talking about blue jeans / clothes, they must appear as new. Jamaicans are very proud people.
