[10:54] <@mink> how are you this fine day?
[10:54] Be gentle and if my replies seems all over the place it’s the Jamaican in me lol :)
[10:54] <@mink> haha.. I completely understand.. You were born in Jamaica -- when did
you land over here in Canada?
[10:55] I’m good I took over today so I can try and catch up on some of my
back edits.
[10:55] <@mink> I think everyone is pretty surprised when they meet you
[10:55] Oh my gosh that would give away how old I’m
right ?? Lets say if I can remember correct in the
mid 80’s when I was a young teenager

they have a hoot with your Jamaicanfashion and 1980’s, his
ness?
1970’s
[11:01] Hmm let me think back,
I guess they bonded cause as you know as
teenagers everyone was not as good as we
look. We did not have video and computers to keep us entertained. I clearly
remember on one of the first year or two
snow storm for entertainment we would
hand around a stop sign and when a car
stopped we would bend down low and bumper hitch as a snow sled. lol
[11:02] <@mink> hey that’s how we had
fun in the 80’s.
[11:02] Yes we had to make our
own entertainment, no electronic gadgets
like today.
[11:02] I don’t think they meet
too many Jamaican when I went to high
school
[11:02] <@mink> no, probably not. Let
alone one that looked like the rest of
them.
them on the phone and then show up. Lol
[10:56] <@mink> Hey, age is just a number.
[10:56] <@mink> it’s always great to pack
an element of surprise
[10:57] I used to work with insurance companies and when I spoke to the
insured on the phone and then showed up
at their front door I could clearly see on
their faces. Yes can I help you as I could
clearly see they are expecting a Jamaican
[10:57] <@mink> You went to high school in
Markham?
[10:58] Yes I went to Markham High
School.
