  1. Well evidentally the network knew of his language and just tolerated it til it became public. As much as they shoot, surely the camera has caught his vulgarity many times but chose to edit it out.

I am getting married at Beaches Boscobel and several of my guests (without children) are staying at Sandals Grand Ocho Rios (which is nearby and owned by the same people so you dont have to pay to attend the ceremony). One couple is paying $2581 from Saturday to Wednesday (around $1100 of that is for airfare from NC). Their room is one of the suites which is several categories up from the cheapest room rates. Hope this helps.
  3. Yeah, 80 is alot but that is guessing on the high side - I think it will be more like 50ish in reality (including many kids). Theme - I am getting married in Jamaica so I guess I would like to incorporate some of their foods, and also a beach theme - shells, sand, etc.
  4. I am beginning to plan my AHR and we have (for now) decided that we want to DIY hors d'oeuvres. Please list some of your ideas/recipes (aprox. 80 guests). Thanks.

  6. My mom is like all of those complaints. It is frustrating. I was difficult to get her to even give me a "yes" that she was going to go. She is so uninterrested in any of the planning, no excitement about the beautiful location, and just acts as if nothing special is happening. You would think a mother would be more excited when her only daughter gets married.

  8. Welcome. I am getting married at Beaches Boscobel. As you can tell by my plain post, I am not savvy enough to create those pics and countdowns. There are some very tech smart ladies on here so I am sure they can help you out.

  10. I know that the resorts transport you from the airport to the resorts, but I am wondering if anyone is taking private transportation to Ocho Rios in order to get there in 1/2 the time? If so, who are you using and what is the cost?

Just remember--- don't add/modify any of the colored cells (they are set to auto calculate numbers and information inputs on other pages in the spreadsheet). Woo Hoo! You are da bomb! I downloaded that spreadsheet this week and it is great. Thanks. Would you also post your spreadsheet for multiple destinations? I dont want to compare resorts, I want to use it for comparing AHR sites. You started a thread some time ago and said you had one you would post if others are interrested. Well, we are interrested. Thanks.
  12. I love the feedback I am getting from all of you. I guess my main conern (after typing all of the issues and my brain having to dissect it) is that CJ will willingly go over to the ex and listen to what she has to say and the gets mad at Jas. He know that she lies (past behavior) yet he still second-guesses Jas' integrity and honesty. So now Jas is not putting any of the blame on CJ. Yeah, the girl is the one causing the problems but CJ is aiding this b/c he listens to the girl. Jas can not see that he is disrespecting her by doing this. I have tried to instill this self-respect thing in her and it breaks my heart that she seems to let him walk all over her. I want her to learn from her own mistakes but where is that very important line that she has to cross before I intervene? If it were drugs, I would know instantly to do something but these matters of the heart and growing-up....uh I am lost!
  13. I apologize, probably gonna be long. Need to vent but any suggestions/advice is welcome. I have a 15 y/o daughter (10th grade). She has a boyfriend who has a jealous ex-girlfriend. This ex keeps harassing my daughter, telling the bf that she sees my daughter kissing other boys at lunch (all of them at same school, just different lunch times). The dumb bf then questions my daughter's integrity (the lie is ridiculous). Yes, my daughter has more male friends than female (because teenage girls can be back-stabbing liers) and she was this way when she and bf STARTED "dating". My daughter has gone to the assist. principal (twice) with nothing accomplished. The 2nd time, he asked if the bf talks to other girls, my daughter responded "no". He asked if she talked to other guys, she responded "yes". Then he actually told my daughter to STOP TALKING TO OTHER GUYS! (talking, as in being friendly, not dating or flirting, strictly platonic) The nerve of this jerk to think that she should stop talking to guys. She doesnt dictate who her bf talks to, he does talk to girls (mutual friends between himself and my daughter). The problem is not her talking to other guys. The problem is this ex-gf and her group of hoodlums constantly harassing her all day at school and administrators doing NOTHING! (Isnt this one reason that some kids go on shooting rampages??) My daughter doesnt want to fight this girl (although could, she is a 4th degree brown belt in karate) over some boy. Additionally, my dilema is: (1) at what point do I make her stop seeing this boy - I know I have no control at school (unless I send her to a different school, which is a possibility) but I do at home? (2) Am I insane to think that the remark by the principal extremely inappropriate? If not, what do I do about it? (3) Legally, there is nothing that I can do, but how do I help my child? She comes home sad and depressed...all because of this one little b****. (I know she is only 15, but someone has let this girl think that her behavior is okay). UGHHHHH! Thanks for letting me get this out.

I dont know what ingredients do this but I do KNOW that the OTC flea medicine that you can get at the local grocery store; I experienced this same thing with my cat using that stuff. I was lucky too b/c my cat survived. To be safe now, I get EVERYTHING from the vet. I guess cats are just extremely sensitive to things like that. It should be taken off the shelves, but then that would keep them from making money....
  15. Sorry, no information for you, but welcome.
  16. I am interrested in the fans. How much for zip code 27403? [email protected]
  17. Well, I hadnt even thought of getting group rates. I am referring my family and friends to my TA. Is this something I should be trying to find out? We are staying at an AI.

  19. Quote: Originally Posted by carlymcmullen Oh, I am jealous of that! I want a jacuzzi!!! Me too. I love the Romeo & Juliet Suite but it is more than double what we are paying. We have a pool that I thought (at first) was ours, and ours alone, but I think there are other rooms connected to our bldg and we share the pool.
