Bwoy, i just cant seem to find the time to blog now-a-days……..and no, it is not that i am soooooooooo busy….I guess Facebook has taken up most of my attention so the blogging thing get lef….I do miss it though…..and miss keeping up on what is happening in the life of the bloggers i used to read daily….religiously……so even if i dont blog, from now on i will ensure that i check in with my blogroll more often…….(although a quick glance earlier showed me that i am not the only one with a “leave of absence’)
Ok, two games that have me totally hooked on facebook, Mastermind and Scrabble ok, ok, ok…i know the they sound geeky, but they have me totally hooked, everyone will be familiar with scrabble, but mastermind is a really cool game for the ones who like a challenge…i had the game when i was a kid so it was great to find the online version…..So all of you on facebook if you are interested….Come Challenge Me!!!!!!!!! not u Bobby, ah tired to buss ur A$$…..JOKE *whispering* i buss his in scrabble, he busses mine in mastermind). My only critisicm on facebook is the spaming effect when you take most of the tests and quizzes….before you can get ur results u have to forward to a million people first…..i have stopped doing them (although you dont know it is like that until after you have finished the tests…..it is a royal pain in the Butt……..and becasue of that i dont know what colour i am or what cartoon character i am or my sexual fantasy or for that matter a whole host of other things….becasue i refuse to spam people to get the results…..MB commented on it in this post
I started a new job (Still with the same company), so i am in the process of learning new things. Felt like a fish without water the first couple weeks, but with each passing day i am begingin to feel a little like i am on solid ground…..
Two weeks ago i carried my dad to a nursing home…..this was the hardest thing i have done in a long ….long ….long time…….Truth be told I bawled when i went to Mandeville (that where my parents live) to get him… and i haven’t bawled in years upon years upon years…(cant believe i am publicly admitting this)….for months i fought with my mom about the decision to place him there, wishing that i had the space at my home to take him to live with me……but after 2 weeks of him being there i now believe that it is the best place for him……He actually looks a whole lot better……I cant wait to see what other changes 2 more weeks will bring……I now look at it like he is in a hospital getting specialised care…….I guess not all nursing homes are bad……
Anyway, duty calls again….helping my son to study for exams, so i need to go take him up on some questions and learn a thing or two myself in the process……..

Hi
I hope you continue blogging.
I wish your father all the best, and I do understand your emotions when you had to make that decision.
Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father!
Walk Good

Wow! A new post! I can’t believe this! Good to hear from you though.
Suh Facebook taking up you time nuh. I can’t see the hype about this Facebook, I have an account but I hardly go on it. Hey Scrabble isn’t bad, I love playing scrabble!
Man it rough to think I might have to do the same, or even that some day I’ll end up in one.

I play scrabble on facebook too! I <3 that game. I’m not hooked though, I prefer my regular scrabble board at home.

Idren M,
Much applause for your courage in admitting your tears for your Father. Jamaica would be a better place if more sons could know and love their fathers enough to cry for them.
To ensure his safety and comfort, don’t wait for visiting hours to see your Father.
Get in the habit of just “dropping in” to check on how he is being treated. Many nursing homes will clean the patients up for visiting hours and neglect them the rest of the time. A vigilant family member can monitor his treatment.
May Jah bless you and your family,
Bless Up,
Lady Roots

Welcome back girl. Don’t stay away so long again.

Oh, I forgot. I know it must have been a hard decision for you to place your father in a nursing home, but I hope everything works out for his best while he’s there. Courage, sis.
