CLEARING UP GIRLS LYME MATTERS- JMG APOLOGISES

I am one of the promoters of Girls Lyme. I was referred to a post on your blog regarding Girls Lyme and I want to clear up a few things.  Let me start by saying initially I was going to ignore it, I have never heard of your site prior to this and after browsing i think I can say we are clearly from two different worlds…much of the language (patios) I could not even understand. The target audience for our event are not the type of people who would be interested in this gossip site: no offense…different strokes for different folks.

I decided to contact you because clearly you were made aware of the event; I’m not sure how or by whom (I would love to know) but I want to ensure that all who are aware of it, whether invited or not , are clear what it is and who it is for.

I thought it was a bit presumptuous, how you quickly made assumptions; no worries, let’s clear them up….

Girls Lyme has nothing to do with the Gay and lesbian community. I laughed when I saw this it would not even have occurred to me that people would think this, but as I said before different worlds.

A little history….. The name simply refers to a group of friends who started lyming on weekends on their veranda/porch, drinking wine and chatting i.e GIRLS LYMING… (I’m going to assume you know what to lime or lyme means) .They began calling themselves the Girls Lyme group and later hosted a couple of successful events (which  I’m sure you would not have heard about)  under that name.

My friends and i thought it would be fun to bring back the event and name it after the girls who initially came up with the concept. Few events cater to women i.e having drinks women want to drink and playing music women want to hear and having men there who women want to mee

would have seen that all the female invites come with a male invite attached for the woman to invite the male of her choice.

The event is about good friends having fun male and female… that is all…

I must say I find some of the comments on your site disturbing, bizarre and ignorant but I guess much of the time that is what gossip is about.   I respect your efforts in doing what you do…i.e running a building a site but I cannot respect the content. To each, his own though.

I hope this clears up any misconceptions

Thanks for your time.

MY RESPONSE

I am sorry Girls Lyme was misinterpreted but the acronym was what blew the whistle for the invitee. I will make a posting that will clear up the matter. For you to say we are from different worlds, that is clear and I have no idea what you view patois as but it is hysterical what you seem to associate our language with even to go as far as associating it with ”worlds” which I am sure we are not from the same one. It doesn’t bother me a bit the opinion or respect you have for the site’s content. Clearly your target audience may not be of Jamaican descent and people from your world do not gossip. I understand that clearly. Thank you for clearing up ”Girls Lyme” with us although upon further viewing of your site it was clear that it was a regular event, maybe you were unable to understand the patois that it was written in when we concluded that it was a regular party and I do hope you are able to understand the dialect I have used in this email.
