It's unlikely we've ever met in real life.

But coolbeans, it looks like you missed the argument we had with oursel...err, each other over Bill Cosby the other day. All now, we still can't agree. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Beautiful Person - KIA

Gosh, ((K ia)), you were an adorable baby!

A few questions:

1. Long time I wanted to ask you this, curiosity was murdering me - why the space after the K?

2. What is your profession?

3. In one of the answers to Compry's googliolic list of questions, you said this: "the other precious gift I have received is time." What do you mean?

4. What aspects of your personality do you see in your kids?

5. Print books or books on tape?

6. You ever used pit toilet when you went to country? (my town cousins hated that and therefore never wanted to come back...)

7. Was it a big adjustment leaving Jamaica at age 14 in terms of leaving friends/making new friends?

Re: Beautiful Person - KIA

Mi know seh u is a multi-racial smady (no bleaching fi you [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] ). So what's your take on the "one drop" theory?

Do you think that the bi-racial label is a cop-out - people not wanting to admit to their black heritage and realize that they will be labelled as "black" by most people----or is bi-racial simply a means for them to acknowledge and embrace their entire heritage?

What would you do if your kids told you that they didn't want to attend college?

What attitudes and beliefs prevalent in Jamaica do you find to be in conflict with yours?

Do you ever plan to go back to corporate america? or u like di igling too much? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Where u think Geneva disappeared to?

How come mi noh si u online no more?


gone do some work fi di man- mi will check in later

Re: Beautiful Person - KIA

A few questions:

1. Long time I wanted to ask you this, curiosity was murdering me - why the space after the K? Well one night I was choosing new names & decided to remain with Kia but the system did not allow me to reuse it, hence K ia. I could do K'ia if u like [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]


2. What is your profession? now? An apprentice stay at home mom. still trying to figure how best to be one

3. In one of the answers to Compry's googliolic list of questions, you said this: "the other precious gift I have received is time." What do you mean? nothing prophetic... just aware of the time I have here on this earth and try to leave it a little better than I found it.

4. What aspects of your personality do you see in your kids? BoyKia is a debaterand a dreamer, GirlKia is solution oriented, independent and free spirited as miself.

5. Print books or books on tape? Prefer Ebooks but have settled for print. I hate to throw books away and the local library seh dem no want no more books - whe fi do?

6. You ever used pit toilet when you went to country? (my town cousins hated that and therefore never wanted to come back...) When I was a child yes. My main fear at the time was falling in as my country cousins used to tell nuff stories.

7. Was it a big adjustment leaving Jamaica at age 14 in terms of leaving friends/making new friends? Yes and I learned I was quite adaptable. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I think the one drop theory is ridiculous but given the need by some to exclude based on a concept of race the one drop theory exists. It is a concept designed to exclude.


Do you think that the bi-racial label is a cop-out - people not wanting to admit to their black heritage and realize that they will be labelled as "black" by most people----or is bi-racial simply a means for them to acknowledge and embrace their entire heritage? I think it a way 4 people to embrace all aspects of their heritage. This bi-racial label (which in used primarily to describe a black/white mix as opposed to other racial mixtures)is based on a US desire for people to chose only 1 race. In JA, especially in St Bess it is not an issue.. Dem just say what color u are, be it red, brown, chocolate or black.


What would you do if your kids told you that they didn't want to attend college? Afta de amount a $$ we a spend fi dem education dem will not say dat!!

What attitudes and beliefs prevalent in Jamaica do you find to be in conflict with yours? I believe homosexuality is not by choice. America is not necessarily the land of milk & honey, but a land of opportunity if u have the right skills to work it.

Do you ever plan to go back to corporate america? or u like di igling too much? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I want to work part time.. Will probably go back to short term contracting. The igling is fun too. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Where u think Geneva disappeared to? She busy a live life [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

How come mi noh si u online no more? Mi did change mi IM email and messenger was supposed to send u de new one.. Check u PM maam.-- unless u did put mi pon ignore [img]/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

wait.. two questions..

you said equador as a place to live.. why? Ive always been fascintated with Central and South America. Before the children came, we had exchange students from Ecuador live with us. They were attending a nearby college. The climate and the foods are similar to Ja and the pictures of Guayaquil and wonderful. The people are warm and friendly. My spanish is passable and am sure could become fluent again if I went there for a while. The galapagos islands are also a short distance away from the coast of Ecuador.

If you could have a day out without the kids and your husband, what would you like to do? or even a weekend? Run away for a whole weekend.. Massage, sleep, spa treatments, sleep, detox, sleep -- do u see a consistent word here ? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

1. Do you believe in love at first sight? Yes.

2. Have you ever fallen in love at first sight? Not the romantic kind of love but one that is knowing that person would be in my life in a big way.

3. Have you ever been heart-broken? Yep.

4. Who was the first person to break your heart? Mr.ehem ahem.

5. How long did it take you to recovery? bout a year

6. Have you kissed on the first date? Yes but not french kiss if that is what u mean.

7. Have you ever wanted to kiss someone on the first date but pretended that you don't kiss on the first date? Life too short.

8. Do you like it when a man opens the door, pulls the chair out, etc. for you? Of course..and I do make a point to say thank you.

9. Has a man ever made you cry? Was he worth it? Yes and looking back with 20/20 hindsight. No he wasnt worth it but I needed the experience in order to grow as a person.

10. Have you ever been on a blind date? If so, describe. Oh lawd yes!! He was nice to talk with on the phone then I saw him with the hair combed forward facing east and the batty whe did cock back facing west. He did not open the door for me (we met at a designated place) and later when he gave me a ride to the train station he leaned over & opened the door from inside the car (he was the brother in law of a co worker of mine at the time). I ducked his calls after that and when confronted told him I was starting to see an ex boyfriend of mine. Yeah I know cheap cop out but I didnt want to hurt his feelings. I then went to my coworker and told him to please keep all future referrals to himself

11. Pretend you're not happily married, which celebrity would you go out on a date with? Dont date celebs. I would hang out in the background with the real movers & shakers [img]/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

12. Pretend I've taken the kids for a week, what are you more likely to do with hubby? Why pretend? Please please take them for a week. What am I more likely do with hubby??

13. What's your ideal date? my 1st real date with my husband except I would have worn more comfortable shoes. We went to an opera, and then I had the pleasure of watching him try to impress me with getting dinner reservations at fancy west side restaurants.. Ended up walking through Central Park and having a series of desserts [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

14. If I were to ask your advise about going out on a date with the love of my life, what would you suggest? I need more specific info about the personality of the love of your life b4 I could make a suggestion.

15. Is 14 an adequate amount of questions for this theme or should I come up with more? I thought this was a hot seat and so far it is more like dearjohns comfy couch!!! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/704555_dwl.gif[/img]
