The next decade....what's in store?
Musings of a yamfooted traveller still trying to shake off those last 20 pounds as she treks across the Caribbean
It's amazing how our minds can wander. There I was, sitting at the computer writing some recommendations based on my observations in Nevis, and my mind all of a sudden jumped to the future, with me thinking about the job I was going to have, which island I was going to be living in, and to whom I would be married.
Married? Yamfoot? Nah. That will have to be one special dude who will make this year woman give up her independence. I suppose for a start he could let me keep my independence....no questions asked?
Any of you know any men around this planet like that? I say to people, when they exclaim surprise that I am not married (I don't know why cause is not as if I'm a slim ting with great looks), which man they know would let them wife go to another island to work for two months? Or let them wife go travel following cricket? They tell me that those men exist. I don't for one moment believe them.
But it doesn't hurt to dream. It's veeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrry far from reality.
Posted by yamfoot at November 7, 2004 12:27 PMThe fact that you may not be a 'slim 'ting' has nutten to do with your marrigeability or as Angry Dawg had put it, "dehwidability" (a term which I haffi big up). There are men out there who don't like slimmas and prefer women who are a bit 'weighty' shall we say...no diss intended.
It is nice to think and dream about the future though Yamfoot. It can give direction to our plans for ourselves. Nutten wrong with that.
And you stay deh, when the man that lyrics you and sweet you the right way comes along, I'm sure the wedding bells may chime a lot faster than you say.
Posted by: Dr. D. at November 7, 2004 02:06 PMYou know Yamfoot, many many skinny women out dere divorced or never been married too. As D says, is not always so much about the way you look as the person you are.
I agree with Doc and Ciya. Not to mention that if you are travelling all over the Caribbean covering cricket I believe that there is that special person who will actually send you and support you in what you like to do despite the obvious.
Posted by: scratchie at November 8, 2004 08:03 AMAlright, well independence is a good thing still, I would strongly support my woman's independence if her career dictates that she travels all over the globe; however, as long as she can maintain the sanctity of our marriage (i.e. keep her legs locked when it comes to other men), then we cool.

Posted by: AngryDog at November 8, 2004 10:20 AMSigh.. dream for you an I mi sistah, an independent woman finding a partner - those men are an endangered species - saw a good father on the plane yesterday with his daughter (she looked like about one year old)...both seemed to be regular travellers. My travel companion (who shall remain nameless!!! :) seemed to think it incredulous that this man was traveling without the mother...whereas, it was something I was pleased to see - for I am sure the mother is like you and I, an independent woman (and her partner, an enlightened man!)
