If I were in your place and that stranger appeared in my yard asking for work, I would quickly tell him that my husband, who is inside the house does all the work around the property and I was just surveying what needs to be done. Never let them know you live alone or they will keep coming back. And, I am glad you offered food instead of money. You can be kind and cautious at the same time. I don’t mean to scare you but never ever turn your back on a stranger, and I mean that literally.
I have been checking every day to see how you were doing. I am soo happy that in spite of the damage to your tree God protected you and your neighbors. Be blessed and just plant another tree. It will grow because the love you have for your plants.
Glad you & your home made it through the storm safely. That guy was very persistent. Please get your cameras/alarm installed ASAP if you haven't already.
Fallen branches, fallen wires, wow. I don't know much about tropical trees but I think the banana trees are not very strong they are kind of soft and flexible.
Thank God You, your Property and neighbours survived the hurricane- I have been following your channel since it started. Glad to see how you had prepared yourself and the house. It was sad to see that man approach you unawares like that. Once you found out how he got into the scheme- I definitely think that the security guard at the front gate was to be blamed and - a breach like that should have costed him his job- because he had no right allowing the man to get in to take no short cut through your scheme. But I join with others and say try to get your property fenced off or garden walls and a gate installed. For your own peace of mind and safety. You are doing so so well. Your an inspiration. I am like you a lone female and have a home in Jamaica but can’t seem get the courage to go and live. God Bless you 🇬🇧🇬🇧
I am a product of 2 carribean islands, one being jamacia. As much as it hurts me, jamacia is not safe for women at all, especially single women. How people feel it's ok just to walk up on people's land jus so 😕 Please, please stay vigilant and safe ya sistah me ah watch and support stay good 👍🏽
Hi , sorry i don't know your name. I've recently subscribed to your youtube channel . Thank God you have weathered the storm and you're safe. Have you considered installing a ring door bell, a motion sensor light ,setting up a neighbourhood watch especially if you're living alone? Their was something odd about that guy. Stay safe.
Glad you are safe, and your house in good condition; you picked a good one! I can't believe your little tree and plants survived! Jamaica is such a beautiful place. I've been a few times, and it never disappoints as a tourist, but as far as living there, I don't think I could do the heat/humidity/bugs of island life. I like 4 seasons. You are such an inspiration to go back and maintain a homestead. What a journey!
Open your eyes,you and your property is been scrutinized (watched). They know who lives alone in the neighborhood. You told him no before, and he went away and come back. Did you realize even after he got the food, he kept telling you he could come back to help. Girl, get some camera up on your property . BE WISE.
Exactly all the people telling her to pretend she has a man with her. It's no point they all know ur Bussiness in the carribean you can't live without people knowing who's in ur house ..
That security guard has no business letting someone walk through the property. That's a red flag! Make you wonder who else he would let in. I didn't like the fact that after getting the food, he didn't want to leave. He kept pushing. Be safe.
I literally just subscribed to your channel and now I need to tell you my opinion on that crazy guy. First of all, he seems he already knew your home situation. However, I would mention that your boyfriend will be home soon. Secondly, be more stern about your approach. No thank you, and no explanation on your No. He’s the type who seems to be nice now, and later would try to harm. It was the daytime, yet he was passive aggressive.
I'm glad you are ok, and no properly damage. I have been checking for an update from you. That guy was scary walking up on you like that, it’s good that you were taping to get him on video. I left jamaican over 40 years ago. When i go back, i go to the community in St Mary where i grow up. I feel very comfortable there, the house is grilled, the only thing is, i can't bring myself to staying alone at night.😀 Lol. I give you your props for staying alone at night.
Please when you're working outside and you have what could be used as a weapon, keep it with you! When he came back and you were at your compost pile and your machete was near him I got nervous because he kept looking down at it. Keep it with you, be safe!!! Sorry about your tree 💖
Glad to see you made it through okay. I was uncomfortable for you seeing that guy walk unto your property like that. It just makes you feel unsafe in your own home when stuff like that happens. I know of a lady that lives by herself in Florida. She had just moved into her home. She came home from the store one day to find some young neighborhood boys hanging out in her backyard. When she asked them why they were trespassing they told her they didn’t know the house was sold and that was where they always hang out since the house had been empty. Within a month of the incident she got her fence installed. While I don’t agree that returning residents should necessarily live in a gated community, I understand the need to feel safe in your home and community especially as a single woman. Maybe you can get a guard until you’re ready for a fence.
You had the best implement in your hand when the stranger came into your yard. He was persistent. Keep your doors and gate locked and be vigilant. I agree with you about living in a gated community for the first layer of protection. My personal though is, the firearm may put you at risk of being attacked for the firearm.
Nice to see that you’re ok. Been catching up on your videos. Sorry about your experience with the young man on your property, it was very unsettling to see.
Good that u helped. But yea go with your 1st feeling.i don't like when folks try to make u help them. They bombard your space. And they can't take no for an answer .😢😮😢❤
There are solar fans available. You take the screen outside and have it power up then come into the house and plug in the fan. I am not sure how long the charge will last, but you can look into sourcing one. I feel you on that heat.
I feel you sis, me and me alone was in my house through the hurricane. I went home for vacation. But thank God I'm OK and my house..Glad you are ok too
I've been waiting on this video, thankful to know u & ur neighbors r doing well. Ur plantain will bounce back. Yes, u need ur fence & some camaras. I was a bit nervous when z man returned, I wish u had ur machete in ur hand then. Crazy people around, yu neva know. I'm happy everything worked out, thank God! Enjoy life! It's a pleasure watching ur videos, catch u in z next one 😊
They surely can identify anyone who has lived abroad. Well I hope he is harmless to you . I really do not like that about Jamaicans, they are always asking for things. Oh I have experienced many black Americans doing the same thing to me.
Good to see you back and know you are okay! Try and fence round you yard when you can so no intruders can just walk in. I know you sad bout yu banana tree but it will grow back🌴🇯🇲
The castor oil tree straighten it up put some sticks and brace it and tie it to about 4 strong sticks to brace it, if you cut the plantain it will spring back up.
Hi Empress! Like the others I’m so happy that you’re doing well and your house is in tact. Oh how the time flew by as quick as the hurricane. My family in St. Ann is also out of power for a week now. I hope and Pray that you and us both will get power restored sooner than later. Always refreshing to watch your videos. And I love how you’re a nature girl. I love planting and all that. Keep doing what you’re doing? GOD will do the rest! And I can tell that you are a Child of GOD” ( YAHUAH) Blessings to you always!!!
That food is very reasonable for the price, I was in Jamaica the day before the hurricane and I back home today. As for that man on your premise, that can happen anywhere especially if your living in an open land, I see it happen here in the USA. The only difference here in the State you will get shoot easier. I was in St Ann and we got light on the day I was leaving even thought 95% of that area was on, the tree fell on our street brakes.
Just try to refer to yourself as we are our family or us. They will think you live alone if you keep saying I I I I. Sometimes they come to ask for things to test you and see if you are nice or not. Just be careful if he comes back another time, just say hello don't speak to him. Sometimes they want to see what you have in your house to come back and steal. I understand in America no one visits anyone or talk to them so it's different there. It's strange for me but I know the culture is quite different😂Get a fence and a gate, and always face the stranger, don't turn your back to them. Your neighbor will soon start sounding like you, they love American speaking 😂
I hope the property manager told the security to not let that guy or anyone else who doesn't belong there walk through the property. That is what you are paying for.
Hi sis so sorry about your plantain tree but it’s no mistake it was all Gods doing for a reason. It will grow back and will be more stronger and flourish abundantly. I keep checking my email every day patiently waiting for your response to my email I sent couple weeks now. I forgave you because the hurricane destroyed your plaintain tree. Thanks for the update, I’m glad you’re doing well. PS hope your power comes back soon. Stay bless
Security cameras 🎥 and fence please ma’am, don’t let these people get too comfortable as they will come back again and again Also as he is a worker, you will see him all the time. I’d report it to management/developer as he’s there all the time potentially I say no to everything and most people as if not, it will be hard for you!
All you can do, for the plants is to prop them up, with a rod, put some aloe vera on the stalk and wrap them up to give some support.Youau br snl to save them! Too bad, further in the video, you decided to trim her!
I would get some men clothes and put on the washing line. if you speak to him again mention something about your invisible husband, think quick on your feet. be safe ......UK
Even though it was uncomfortable for the guy to come on your property I'm happy you we're able to help him out a bit. Minimum wage in JA can barely by 2 loaf of bread. I'm happy he had dinner that night.

I agree, i thought he worked on the grounds. Can never be too careful though.

Yes thank God.
I love your gratitude after the storm. Blessed love.
Share some mangoes with your neighbor
Absolutely, gratitude is everything.
I'm so glad you made it through the hurricane .I'm so sorry about your tree.😮
Thanks so much.
I don't know but am feeling a special blessing from God coming to you
Stop it with your feelings.
Amen I receive it!!
Glad you & your home made it through the storm safely. That guy was very persistent. Please get your cameras/alarm installed ASAP if you haven't already.
Solid advice, thanks.
Fallen branches, fallen wires, wow. I don't know much about tropical trees but I think the banana trees are not very strong they are kind of soft and flexible.
So true.
Be careful my sister, may God continue to bless you 🙏 in Jesus name 🙏
Amen, thank you.

jamacia is not safe for women at all, especially single women. How people feel it's ok just to walk up on people's land jus so 😕
Please, please stay vigilant and safe
ya sistah me ah watch and support stay good 👍🏽
Yes, I am staying vigilant, thank you.
That is why you need to fence your yard and have a gate where it can be locked. That is very disturbing.
Very scary he's out of order
Yes. Working on it.
I hope you get a security camera for your home. He is probably trying to figured out if you lived alone.
So happy all is well with you,so sorry about your tree.
Thanks.

Yes, I think a fence is my next big move. Sorry to hear you're not comfortable there.
I recommend fencing your yard and getting two guard dogs. What that man did is unacceptable, and giving him food might encourage him to continue.
Yes, I'm planning on getting a fence.
I am happy to see that you are doing well, your plant tree will grow back ❤
True.
Please when you're working outside and you have what could be used as a weapon, keep it with you! When he came back and you were at your compost pile and your machete was near him I got nervous because he kept looking down at it. Keep it with you, be safe!!! Sorry about your tree 💖
Will do.
Your community looks pretty. Do heed all precautions.

When addressing strangers try to use WE, US ECT. Don’t let anyone know you live alone. Not being Judgmental… just a suggestion.
Him done know already she's on her own trust me
Thank you.
Living in a gated community does not guarantee safety, or things will not happen!!🤦🏽♀️
I agree.
Please don't trust that guy. Dont let him in your house either. He looks like trouble 🙏🙏💗💗. He is going to come back again he's way too persistent
