WHEN THE TABLES ARE TURNED

Greetings,

I can see that my last blog really hit a nerve with my readers and Justin and I really appreciate the advice that you guys gave. He's still deciding if he must tell her or not I think he's going to keep quiet and if it happens again then he'll definitely blow the whistle this time. I will keep you posted.
I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the caring and concerned responses everyone really empathized with Justin. It led me to think what if the tables were turned would people be so understanding if it were the other way around. Suppose Justin's best friend (bredren) hit on his girlfriend should the girlfriend tell Justin or should she keep quiet? Its not as simple as it sounds. In the name of objectivity I will not even hint at what I think she should do. I know that she may feel uncomfortable and might not want to disturb the friendship. Let mamachel know, is it worse when a guy hits on his friends girl and also when this happens should she tell her man?

This one deep folks but mamachel need to know!!!!

While you reading hit up my fellow blogger http://urbanchefjamaica.blogspot.com and see what he has to say on other issues.

Peace, Love and Most of all Respect,

Putting Up a Resistance !!!

Hey Guys,

Its mamachel once again. I was prepared to write about my interesting weekend and how it opened up my eyes to certain facts of life when I got this email. Folks this one is a doozy, I mean I will try and give him some advice as I can only imagine the confusion he is feeling. Instead of copying the email I have decided to tell the story for him.

One Unfortunate Series of Events

*Justin and all of his girlfriends friends got along great. He liked them and, surprisingly they liked him. Alas, he found out friday that one of them liked him a little more than they should. According to Justin's letter she was very slick in her approach making him feel foolish for being guarded at first,nevertheless he resisted, told her off and eventually left the scene. His conscience is clear, however he's not sleeping because he's now faced with making the decision of whether to tell his girlfriend or not to tell her.

My response to Justin is tell her. If she really appreciated your relationship and knows that you are telling the truth then she will respect you for being honest. However, I feel that it is a Catch 22 as things will never be the same, people are bound to feel uncomfortable in the aftermath. You might want to keep quiet for peace sake, but should she find out in the future it will be almost impossible to explain it.

I need your input.. Do you think Justin should tell his girlfriend or should he keep quiet?

Let mama know....

ETHICS 101

Hey Guys,

I need help with this one ... :-)

Q: Hey Mamachel, I'm in a predicament. The other day, last week tuesday to be exact my boyfriend came by to use my computer and left. When I started using the computer I realized that he had left his email account open. This is my problem, I want to read what's in there but i'm not sure if it is ethical. My friends say that I should read it, that its his fault he should have been ore careful. It's been open on my computer for days now chel and everytime I go to read it I stop. I think part of me is afraid of what I might see. What should I do?

Curious and Afraid, Turks

A: Hey Curious,
My first instinct as a woman (with that inborn inclination to Fass) was that you should read it. The best advice that I can give you is if you are in doubt then DO NOT do it. There is a reason that you have not opened it as yet its been 8 days if you were going to open it then you would have opened it already. What I'm about to say is going to sound cliche but put yourself in his shoes would you want him all over your inbox like that? I know you want to read it but the fact that you are afraid to opens up other issues in your relationship. The end decision is up to you mamachel can only suggest you close it. I know some of you woman are like Hell no !!! but you know i'm right :-) A bigger question is "from last week tuesday him nuh come look fi yuh again?"

Hope I'm Santa's pixie

"Breadfruits roasting on an open fire, Jackfruit sticking to your nose, christmas songs being song by a choir and folks dressed up like pappi show"

Christmas is just around the corner folks and I am trying to feel the christmas spirit. Its my first christmas in an apartment by MYSELF *gasp* I most surely will be heading to my folks place for the x-mas dinner but its not the same. Nevertheless, I have embarked on a mission to put myself in the x-mas spirit. I bought pepperlights (note to self: need more than 1 pack), I ordered x-mas cake (will not even attempt to make that myself) and I have initiated a pixie in the office.

Now Pixie what is a pixie you might ask? Well I put everyones name in a bag and we choose, the price limits of the gifts are set and everyone has a jolly good time. Unfortunately, I have lost the pixie bag! Now tell me, how does a pixie bag throw away itself?!!! It surely wasnt me. But however it got there I can tell you that Santa is watching and he knows.

moving along....

Due to the financial embarrassment that I have been experiencing throughout the year I am debating on whether or not I will be giving gifts this year. That thought is soo far fetched for me. One of my co-workers said that my friends and family will understand that I just couldn't make the christmas train this year. True, a friend will understand...*sigh* Then why havent I told anyone yet? Why does my heart drop EVERYTIME I think about telling my folks? If I dont give any gifts can I still accept?

All these things float through my head and it hits me that I have yet to think about church and christmas mass (shamefully the one time of year I make it into church with no fear of lightening :-). I am more worried with gifts and spending. I sign off telling you to have a Merry Xmas and try not to lose sight of what this holiday is really about"the birth of someone greater than anything I could get my loved ones at Target".

If I do decide to not give any presents this year I just hope Santa is my pixie 'cause I know he'll understand and I'll get something nice.

What are your views on the true meaning of xmas? LET MAMACHEL KNOW!!!!
