Beware if you receive a phone call from an 876 area code. Now they tell me, when I answer the phone, that they're from New York calling. They've been calling me, telling me I'm going to receive a large amount of money. Area code 876 is not from New York. It's from Jamaica. So please hang up before they scam you.

I was calling about the adding on to the schools and making them look different. Why do we have to have such fancy schools in this town? Fancy ballparks? Everything for the schools. They ought to be thankful we got just some nice school buildings and nice teachers and stuff to get our kids through school. Why does all this money have to be wasted on the looks? Why can't it be (spent) on books and teaching kids and stuff like that?
