Jan 1 .... one egg ....
Jan 5 ..... two eggs .....
Today ..... Feb 22 ...... one egg???
In March 2009 ...... a yellow breast built a nest in the dead plant that I keep on my porch ..... and tho I was excited about it ...... I was even more excited last month ...... to see yet another nest ....... cuz this was the open kinda nest ....... not de close-up kind dat de yellow breast had built ..... so it was easier tuh maco de bird and de eggs and de chicks .......
But ..... after first noticing one egg around January 1 ..... by January 5 ..... there were 2 ..... and this time ...... the bird was ...... a dove ...... now unlike the yellow breast ...... this dove was not havin me take no pictures of her ...... cuz every time I tried she'd fly away ..... and I don't know if she just got fed-up ..... cuz one day ..... I realised that she just wasn't there anymore ..... like at no time ..... anyway ...... long story short ....... today when ah went tuh check de nest ...... ah see only ONE egg!!!!
MYSTERY NO. 3: Where is mummy dove? ..... and where is the second egg? ...... is not like de chicky hatch and gorn ...... cuz there is absolutely no evidence that another egg was there ..... can birds just pick up dey egg and go ..... or was mummy bird and egg kidnapped ..... if you have any info ..... please .... call Crime Stoppers now!!!
Dat area dat ah circle off above ...... is de area below ..... take note ..... cuz is one of de mysteries!

Now really an' truly ..... is nearly de whole street used tuh trow dey garbage in dat ting eh ..... and sometimes de ting really used tuh be overflowin wit stink ...... but now ..... wit de new lockdown arrangement ...... it real clean and tidy ...... cuz is only de residents of the apartments accessin it ...... so is like half de amount ah garbage trowin in it now!!

About two weeks ago ...... ah drag mehself tuh de grocery ..... an' ah say drag ..... because I absolutely HATE tuh go tuh de grocery ..... but ...... lucky fuh me ...... dat same day ..... ah was hangin wit ah fren ...... an' when he see how distress ah was ..... at the thought of going grocery shopping ..... he tell meh he will go wit meh ...... which was real cool ...... cuz misery always love company

Scene 3 tings
1. I definitely believe that u have a predator on ur hands...it would be cool for u to set up camera and thing…but idk if you would like wat u might see…it’s a different world all together wen pple aint looking…like dem discovery channel shows.
2. From an environmentalist stand point (yea im a tree hugger) keep de dead plant…coz there’s a lot at ting that sill living in it though yuh cah see it…doh mean to scare yuh eh…coz im already sensing like ur already having some scary thoughts
3. Last I would like to say…STAY away from dem frozen non-sense it’s ah waste ah money…wen I go grocery shopping I try to go belly full coz I doh end up paying for a whole lotta BS photoshop enhanced images of wat de food doh really look like to fool ah empty stomach
Reply to this
I doh want tuh know ...... I mean ..... I want tuh know ..... but I doh want tuh know ..... I jus gonna pretend dat de egg hatch and de birdy fly away .....
.... and I think the real reason the dead plant is still there ...... is cuz birds seem tuh tink dat is prime property tuh build house!
Reply to this
I say you shouldn't find out what take the egg cause it could very well be a snake or something and then how you 'go fall to sleep' that right there is pressure.
I come home to play mas in Tribe and to go Beyonce concert and let me tell you I had a ball and sunburned all now and doh talk about Beyonce that concert was the "BESS" I tell yuh it was good I went to VIP and had friends in VVIP and they had great time as well but I did hear that General Ticket holders didn't fair as well.
Reply to this
So far ..... the few reviews that I got or read ..... have all been different .... some say it was BESS (like you) ...... and some say it was ah HOTT MESS ......
I think problems are bound tuh arise ...... when yuh hype up ah scene wit shit like VIP and VVIP and CVIP ...... I've been tuh numerous concerts ...... from since back in de day when a concert was JUST A CONCERT (wit no separation/segregation/division of the crowd) ...... up tuh nowadays times of de VVIP crap ..... I've been in General ..... I've been Backstage ..... I've been in VIP ...... and I've been in VVIP ......
..... and I think that that is the problem ...... too much sectionin off ...... cuz when you create de illusion ..... dat if yuh pay more fuh ah bess experience ...... and ah bess vantage point ..... among ah supposed bess crowd ...... then you have set yourself up tuh possibly fail ...... cuz people are going to expect the world and more ..... yeah ..... and TRINIS are not regular people ...... after payin $1000 and $1600 fuh ah concert ..... Trinis are goin tuh feel like dey shoulda have tea wit Beyonce too ..... thing is ..... yuh can't please everybody ...... and NO concert or party or whatever ...... is ever perfect ...... all events of that magnitude have dey challenges ..... so a Trini's assessment of whether it was BESS or MESS ...... woulda boil down tuh what his or her priorities were ...... if yuh priority was tuh take eeeen good performances by Machel and Beyonce ...... then I understand it was BESS ...... however ...... if yuh priority was tuh get ah bess park ..... an' ah drop from de shuttle ..... and tuh inhale clean evening air ..... and tuh walk on ah nice high-heels surface like maybe a red carpet ...... or tuh even sit on ah nice sorf chair ...... while eatin lobster ...... and drinkin champagne ...... then fuh dat person it woulda be ah MESS ..... cuz those are the kinds of expectations people are gonna have ...... when yuh make dem pay dat bess price tuh feel like dey is BESS ...... I guess what I'm trying tuh say wit dis longwinded rant is ..... if everybody was considered equal ..... nobody woulda have any grouse ..... cuz everybody woulda feel vindicated dat everybody else ...... experience de same shit .......
Lovechild gyul ...... glad tuh hear yuh enjoy yuhself in Trini
Reply to this
Scene what you saying making sense I remember back in the day when it was all one section in the concert no special sections like Vip,VVip,Cvip etc.
Make everyone feel equal and you wouldn't have all the bad emotions going around.
I went to hear/see Beyonce and Machel I didn't even eat any food and it was still a BESS concert for me. I even pay for my Sister in law who is 18 and couldn't afford to go and she enjoyed her self although I think she had fun cause she was liming with her friends...lol
Gyul Trinidad is the greatest place on earth I love it bad bad..enjoy myself seems to tame of a word...lol

Scene,long time. That Healthy Choice is a major ripoff. And frozen dinners NEVER taste good -- doh waste yuh money again no matter the brand of frozen dinner. In the US those things are usually $3.50-$5, so the conversion is pretty accurate. Still a waste even in USD.
As for that Beyonce concert, don't get me started on that sh!t. Hated the arragements of the show. Monumental waste of money and time -- MY money and time. Those poor folks who were wrongly arrested have got to be LIVID ---- who say LAWSUIT?!!
That blinking concert was CURSED from the get go yes.
Reply to this
Carnivalcocoa ..... trust me ..... never me again and dem dinners ..... an' what lawsuit yuh talkin bout ...... is Trini yuh know ...... de only lawsuit it have in Trini ..... is de ones Lawyers does wear!!
