Right on! How does the cliche go?  Age is just a number?

THE CLICHE GOES LIKE THIS FOR WOMEN MIRA:

ha ha ha ha ha

Hope you have a refreshing sense of humor.lol

Rev

Laughter is de bestest of all de medicines!

Revvy, you'll know when I don't see the humor in a post

Seigy:

Thanks for that sober response!

Listen! The good Lord moved 90% of the posters on this forum from Guyana to lands over-flowing with snow, milk and honey.

But today--2013--the good Lord loves what he is seeing from our fellow Guyanese in Guyana---and while many of Guyanese are freezing their balls off in lands of snow, milk and honey---the good Lord is beginning to bless warm and sunny Guyana with progress and positivity.

Rev

As JESUS RISE ON Monday HE WILL SHOWER HIS bLESSINGS ON OUR DEAR GUYANA. Happy Easter, remember God gave his beloved son so that we can live. Give yourself to Jesus or go to HELL.  Happy Easter everyone.

It's not Jesus rising pon Easter Monday in Guyana, it's kites.

In Canada the only ting rising on Easter Monday would be the working class. We work on Easter Monday, it's not a holiday.

From here .....

.....To here,

Those two lovely photos posted by Sheik, who is currently in Guyana are clear, inviting, and delicious visual metaphors for the sweetness of Guyana life.

SWEET SWEET MEMORIES!

Thanks Sheik.

Rev

Rev, let me test your skills. Do you know what these things are?

Sheiky:

Do you really believe the man of sweet memories, the inimitable Rev, would not remember a cashew tree ?hahahaha

Rev

The joke's on you, Rev. that's not a cashew tree. It's an akee tree. Found it growing in my friend's front yard in South R\veldt.
Now, I'm off to visit my farm.

It just goes to show one is never too old to learn something new.

I never knew there were akee trees in Guyana---thought it was a Jamaican thing.

Thanks for the enlightenment Sheik---and enjoy your day at the farm.

Rev

i think that is a cashew tree this is the cashew were the nut grow outside the guyanese call it cashew but jamaican call it akee but i can be wrong

My first impression was cashew tree but Sheik said ackee---never heard of ackee in Guyana.

Rev

Rev, I never heard of akee in Guyana either, Naturally, the Sheik had to delve deeper in order to be convinced. And I was. I thought it was a Jamaican thing as well. until one of these fruits, if it should be called that was cut open in front of me revealing three black seeds inside.
It's not a cashew nut tree either. I know what they look like. As is plain to see, there are no nuts hanging from the outside.

Jesus was not dead when they took him down from the cross. Hence he could not have risen from death. He woke up from his coma.

Now Rev, let me give you something memorable to feast your eyes on.

My whitey trees. When last you have some,Rev?

Wadey. Freshly made for the Sheik. When last you had some? Hmmm?

Oh yes, almost forgot this guy.

Sheik:

Is that your farm for real ? Impressive! That is nature bro. I love it. You are a blessed man Sheik--- a man of the earth.

When my family lived in the country we had lots of fruit trees---mango, guava, psydium, cherry, dongs(wrong sp), coconut.

Regarding whitey and sour-ree----I haven't had those in decades----usually when I visit Guyana I load up on sappodila----but I'll look for whitey when I visit later this year.

Have fun Sheik--by the way, make sure that little guy returns to school in NY next week.

Rev

Those are the moments that will become sweet memories for Little Sheik.

Rev

Is that your farm for real ?

Hahahahahaha, The sheik detects a lingering doubt on the part of the Rev.
but be advised, what I tell you, that's what is is. The sheik does not play games. Five years ago, I was asked to make this investment and I did so.. reluctantly. Cash crop. Everything planted according to season. I have no regrets.
You see Rev, while some prefer to sit down in Liberty Xpress bar drinking caronas and eating cutters after a hard day of accounting, I, on the other hand prefer to seek more meaningful ventures in the homeland..
Yet, the sheik is accused a coming to Guyana only to bang Brazilian girls. Truth be told, I do that too. But only when time permits. Hahahahahaha.

I wrote common entrance in 1979

i remember the cake shop across the school, wow nice memories.

there was also an older black lady who had a "stand" near the school, she sold the sweetest stinking toes ever! Remember that fruit? I think it was also known as locust. My mom never understood why I liked that fruit

Riya:

I totally forgot about STINKING TOE.hahaha

Sheik is in Guyana---maybe he can post a photo of stinking toe.

Next time I visit Guyana I'll have to check out WHITEY---sheik posted a photo above---and STINKING TOE---just the name stinking toe makes me laugh.

Rev

Ok, you got me with wadey. Looks like bara to me or is that something different?

Thinking back about that makes me laugh too

i looked for whitey when I was there last month and couldn't find any. 

Aunty Rosie was te lady that had her  stall under the steps at Rama Krishna school who use to slice up the half ripe and green mangos mix it up wid salt and pepper  

Bally:

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I was trying to remember her name.

How could I forget a lovely name like  Aunty Rosie!

BALL DID YOU ATTEND RAMA KRISHNA ALSO ?

Rev

Yes i did, the head master at the time was Moorat Persaud his wife taught there also the late Vic Pooran father taught there along with Miss Roopnarine, Charran, Lalta, Chowbey, and a few of the Balkarran's   

Bally:

* HT was Moorat Prashad not Persaud---and his wife, Ms. Prashad, used to teach those little kids in classes that were held in the church or should I say mandir ?

* Miss Roopnarine passed away in Canada a few years back---she and my Mom were good friends---she used to live at the head of Barr street----she used to give lessons---remember her son Howard ?

* Didn't Chowbay die in an accident in 1970 or 71 ? That was sad.

* Miss Balkarran was my common entrance teacher---she used to wear some daring mini skirts back then---us 9 and 10 year old guys loved her.---she and her family lived in that big house on Shell road---that was the street behind Barr street, right ?

* Miss Balkarran got married to an Indian businessman---and Charran took over as common entrance teacher.

HOW IS THE REV'S MEMORY ?

Rev

I never knew Miss Roopnarine had children, Beena Balkarran i believe her name to be she lived in Shell road the big house if you remember kitty collage her brother was the principal for that school located on Lamaha street right across from Jamoon tree rum shop.
