Well - I saved the above as a draft and went to the Business Expo, peeps. OK, but smaller than in previous years. But boy, I wanted to show you a few tings still!

Me and my cuz went to a few places.

1. We went to Western Union at a supermarket, because the man was receiving a money from yard. They did not have sufficient US$ Cash, so I told him I wud take him elsewhere to collect. I picked up some food at the Supmkt and went next door to the pharmacy. When I was ordering my food, my yute look at the lady an seh "me want a sample piece a dat chicken deh" and him eat it off like a starving refugee and waved it around at me and seh - "you want piece?" which I declined courteously. I thought Lord, why me.

Whilst I was waiting for the pharmacist to do her thing, my yute (cuz) look at me and seh.. why you don;t si down and have your food. Now, dis is in the drug store you know Iyah! I said no, thats fine, I will have it in the car. He said no.. F____ dem, have it here. I said some unkind things to him then, then I said in my mind ... Lord, why me.

2. We went to Western Union in a bank, where my yute collect him US$. Nothing untoward. We went to FCIB, to change the US$ to Canadian, because my yute is leaving here for Cuba, and says US$ is no longer accepted there (right or wrong, I Don't know). He say the line (queue) and said no my yute, I checkin customer service. The chick there said, no, please go back to the line, I have no cash here. My beloved cuz said, you haffe gimme a bly, because I know you a yardie and you nah treat me this way.. anyway, my girl left her station, walked to the opposite side of the bank, and got the US$ and bring it back for my yute. At the end I struck up a convo with an Espanita, who said she has worked in Caymman for 2 years.

3. By then, I wanted to rid myself of my beloved cuz, so I called my brother, who had not entertained him for the whole week, I guess because I was off. After he picked up cuz, I said.. Thank god..

What do you think folks.. I thought the dude was acting up a bit, but wifey thinks that time was just wearing on because I had been taking him out all week.

SOB, and I was going to take him to Corner Pocket tomorrow - now.. let bro put him before the TV.... I will deal with the Espanitas.. Cus goin to Cuba anyway, so I will deal with the one one Espanitas in Cayman...

Have a wicked weekend folks -
