We are having a Destination wedding with lots of 25-40 year olds…. What part of Jamaica is best?

We definitely want beachfront, but close enough for canopy rides, 4X4′s, etc……we party (but not in high class nightclubs really)….so some action and some relaxation!

Suggestions for loud neighbors?

Suggestions for loud neighbors?Our neighbors let their daughter, her husband and their five year old daughter move into their home. For the past two months they are up til 11pm-midnight laughing, drinking, scream talking, slamming trashcans and setting off their security light which is very very bright. Usually I would have no problem with it but our bedroom window is right next to their party canopy where they hang out all night. I asked them a month ago to keep it down and they just got louder. I called the cops two night ago….they got very upset at that and our tire on our brand new car got slashed. They of course deny it was them but we know for a fact it was them. they threw a drink on the car also and the trail leads right up to their house. We filed a complaint with the cops (we called them twice that night). Last night they were extra loud and were laughing about our tire and the whole situation. I’m at my wits end…I have a 9 month old that can’t sleep at night because they are so loud and make the light shine into our room. I’m going to put up thicker curtains for the light but we still have a problem with the noise. Any suggestions on what to do? Anything that smells bad I can plant so they won’t want to hang out there at night because of the stench. We can’t play nice. I don’t want anymore tires slashed…they are too expensive to replace! Me and my baby need some sleep. We lived in single family homes NOT APARTMENTS. The night we called the cops the hubby got in my face and made a bunch of racial slurs…so I’m little scared for my safety.

I am thinking of having a dinner party and found this recipe… I was going to try it with sparrows?

You catch the ortolan with a net spread up in the forest canopy. Take it alive. Take it home. Poke out its eyes and put it in a small cage. Force-feed it oats and millet and figs until it has swollen to four times its normal size. Drown it in brandy. Roast it whole, in an oven at high heat, for six to eight minutes. Bring it to the table. Place a cloth—a napkin will do—over your head to hide your cruelty from the sight of God. Put the whole bird into your mouth, with only the beak protruding from your lips. Bite. Put the beak on your plate and begin chewing, gently. You will taste three things: First, the sweetness of the flesh and fat. This is God. Then, the bitterness of the guts will begin to overwhelm you. This is the suffering of Jesus. Finally, as your teeth break the small, delicate bones and they begin to lacerate your gums, you will taste the salt of your own blood, mingling with the richness of the fat and the bitterness of the organs. This is the Holy Spirit, the mystery of the Trinity—three united as one. It is cruel. And beautiful.

I want to make a “canopy of lights’ for a wedding reception hall – does anyone have any suggestions on how?

I am having my wedding reception in a hall of a church that is basically a basketball court. I want to make the room more romantic and hide the basketball hoops by making it look tent like with a canopy of lights. Any suggestions would be great!

Did you or someone you know use a TENT, CANOPY, or other COVERING at a wedding?

If so, please tell me:
1. What type it was (pole tent, etc.)
2. Approximate Size/ Approx. # of people under tent (sitting in rows or at tables OR standing)
3. The location (on grass, concrete, etc.)

I would also like to know the overall experience with the tent. Was it hard to set up? Any problems?

Thanks for your time!

Does this bible verse prove that God does exist?

OK, we know that before people thought that the world was flat until it was actually proved that the world is a circle shape. So there is a bible verse stating how the world is a sphere, could this be a revelation from God that the world is in a circled shape instead of being flat?

He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
Isaiah 40:22

2/3-person tent with canopy for?

Can anyone suggest a good quality tent with ample room for two people, that also has an integral (or separate) awning/canopied area for dining or just relaxing close to the tent when it’s (inevitably) raining. Our current 2-person tent has a decent-sized vestibule area for storage, but it’s too small and low for really spending any time in.

How to make a tent/canopy outdoors for sweet sixteen?

My sweet sixteen is in a month and I’m having a party of about 45 people outside. I have a huge patio but i want it to be covered and walled off, with lights and stuff inside. I looked into renting a party tent for 20×30, but I don’t have $300 to spend alone on the tent. How could I make one? Using clothesline? fabric? poles? I have no idea how to do it.

So, 20×30 with a roof/cover and walls. I only really need three walls.

Any suggestions?

How can I make a bed tent/canopy for a 3 year old?

We have been temporarily draping a king size sheet over my son’s kitchen and workbench to make a tent over his toddler bed. I would like a more permanent solution than this as the sheet never stays in place and Mommy is tired of “rebuilding’ a ten 10x a night. I have 10 yards of muslin. I was thinking of hanging the fabric from eye hooks on the ceiling, but then I have to wonder if my monkey-child will scale the fabric (he would). Anyone have any safe, practical suggestions for making a toddler bed a tent that doesn’t involve buying one?

Halloween Party Issueeeeeeeeeee!? :S?

hey guys, so my dad gave me this really cool idea for my halloween party to rent one of those black, rounded carport canopies that are open on both sides. I’d put it up against my basement door so the guests would be going down a pitch black tunnel filled with fog into the party. But I cant seem to find where to rent one since they are WAY to expensive to buy.
If anyone can help me out, that’d be grately appreciated
Thanks!

PARTY GAME IDEAS FOR MY SWEET 16!!?

how early can you have a birthday party before its considered tacky?

my daughter’s birthday is dec 12th. it is always freezing and rainy on her birthday. i live in central california so its not terrible weather compaired to some states. but you definitely cant have a nice party at a park.

that brings me to my next point, the park. this is the park kids dreams are made of. it is made of 5 different parks lumped together to make one big super park. there is an infant/baby section, a toddler/ child section, and a kid/ big kid section, and a big sand area, and right in the middle is 5 picnic benches under a big canopy. all this is next to a huge man made fishing pond. a dream.

how early is too early for a birthday party? could i have it 6 weeks early and not be criticized? i dont want people to think im greedy or anything, i just want to have a nice family party for my family and friends to celebrate her birthday.

also everyone is usually very busy around the end of november and through december. the holidays, xmas shopping etc. it was so hard last year but we wont get into that.

so my dilemma is how early could i possibly have her party with out being tacky? i know 2 months is over doing it, but would 6 weeks be okay? that would make the weather about 70 degrees still.

how early is too early? how early have you had your childrens parties?

Parking disclaimers, what rights do you have if there is illicit damage to your car?

I parked my car in Bewleys Airport hotel, using their underground park and fly facility. I of course paid for the service; when I returned from my journey to discover illicit damage to my car. The roof canopy had been sliced. The hotel says they’re not liable because they have disclaimer notices in the parking area. Can they legally fob me off? Do I have no rights? I paid for what I thought was secure parking and peace of mind

How to make a infant car seat cover?

Who has the best ideas?

We’re getting married at my fiance’s father’s house. We’re going to have the ceremony and reception there. The ceremony will take place by the pool area at around 3pm. The reception is going to be in a marquee or bedouin tent in the garden, with dinner and dancing. My question is what can our guests do while we’re getting photos taken with the bridal party? There is a large patio that can be used. We’re expecting about 60 guests. I don’t really want the guests to enter the marquee before the reception starts. Any ideas that are creative and inexpensive to pull off will be appreciated!

How many doctors do you know who would do this?

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – It wasn’t long after Tuesday’s earthquake leveled nearly all of the houses next to Claude Surena’s that neighbors started showing up at his doorstep.

For years, the 59-year old pediatrician had treated the sick at his two-story hillside home near the center of the Haitian capital.

Suddenly, he was running a triage center, treating more than 100 victims on his shaded, leafy patio with food and supplies salvaged from ruined homes.

His undamaged house provides at least a minimum level of comfort away from the devastation — even for the dying — while thousands of others in the city lie in the dirt under a merciless sun waiting for attention from a handful of doctors.

“I have to thank whoever brought me,” said Steve Julien, who says the last thing he remembers before he blacked out was rescue workers calling his name as they dug through the rubble of his house. When he woke up, he was lying on a mattress inside Surena’s soothing oasis.

“It was a blessing from God my house is safe,” he said. “We at least have been able to do something for everyone.”

They injured sing Christian hymns as they huddle close together beneath sheets strung up as tents, but the earthquake still haunts them. Aftershocks rattled the city as recently as Friday morning.

Eighteen of their patients have died. No case hit Surena harder than a pregnant woman who died shortly after she started having contractions Tuesday night, likely from internal hemorrhaging. Despite a rudimentary Cesarean-section, they could not save the baby.

The patients say they know Surena is doing his best.”Considering the materials here, they are taking good care of us,” Hubert said.

Talk about bad luck!?

I bought a ticket for “Shakespeare on the rocks” to go see a play they were putting on. The play was outdoors, and it was sprinkling outside. There was also no canopy or tents to block off the rain. I thought “no big deal” it’s just sprinkling, at least its not raining”. And at that moment it started pouring, I mean it was raining cats and dogs, and I was getting pretty soaked. Before the play even began I had to leave, because it was ridicules being outdoors in weather like this. And with that the whole play was canceled. There was no need for the show to go on. So sadly I went home with my puffy hair, which I spent hours straightening, and wet clothes. I am here thinking to myself, jeez what rotten luck I was really looking forward to watching the play all week, I even got dressed up for the event. And when the day finally arrived it turned out to be a total mess. Has this ever happened to you, where you were looking forward to something but it did not quite turn out the way you wanted it to?

Any tips for selling at a farmer’s market?

I’m 13 and crocheting stocking caps for a farmer’s market this fall. It’s my first one, so I’m a little nervous…can you answer any of these questions?
Are my prices OK? $12 for adult cap, $10 for child large, $8 for child small, $5 for baby.
Is a canopy/tent neccesary? They’re a little out of my price range but if I mow lawns etc. I think I can earn enough.
Is 75 stocking caps enough merchendise?
Do I have to have a name for my business?

If you can answer any of these or have have any other tips, that’d be great! God bless and thank ya!

Activists vow not to eat until immigration reform is passed will they make it ?

As of Saturday, June 19, three women are on their fifth day of a hunger strike in downtown Raleigh. They want to pressure Senator Kay Hagan to co-sponsor an immigration reform bill currently up for debate in Washington D.C.

Viridiana Martinez, 23, Rosario Lopez, 25, and Loida Silva, 22, all live in central North Carolina. They are all undocumented immigrants who came as children to the United States with their parents during the 1990’s.

The trio want Hagan to sign onto the DREAM Act, also know as the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, which creates a 6-year path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants under 35 as long as they go to college or the military, get good grades and stay out of trouble.
In a written statement, Hagan said the DREAM Act “should be considered in the context of comprehensive immigration reform,” but did not say directly whether or not she supports the legislation.

The three young women have a small encampment at the corner of Wilmington and Lane streets, and have a permit to stay there until July 1. But they say the hunger strike is “indefinite.” In the mean time, they’re surviving by drinking Gatorade, Pedialite and water.

They have three tents, a canopy, a portable toilet and signs in a small park on the intersection in the midst of state government office buildings and across the street from the state legislature.

Volunteers and supporters take turns spending time at the site and greeting passers-by 24 hours a day.

How much does a tent rental for a wedding usually cost?

I’m getting married outdoors and IF it rains I will need to rent a canopy tent big enough for 200 guests. Anyone have an idea how much it costs?

i need an inside canopy/tent for my wedding reception. Where do i find them. rental places dont have them.?

I need suggestions. Either making one, where to buy or rent one. ANYTHING! I am desparate. I just need one for INSIDE a building! Gathered to a point in the middle… white. Kinda shaped like a circus tent.

Did you or someone you know use a TENT, CANOPY, or other COVERING at a wedding?

If so, please tell me:
1. What type it was (pole tent, etc.)
2. Approximate Size/ Approx. # of people under tent (sitting in rows or at tables OR standing)

Need advice/tips with survival situation!?

Coming up in a few months (this summer), I plan to try to survive in the North Carolina mountains for five to seven days. I have minimal experience camping/hiking, so I come to you for help.

As far as gear goes I plan to bring:
– Backpack
– Striker to make fires
– Axe/small knife
– Fold-able shovel
– Rope/string
– Tarp
– Collapsible pot (do they make these?)
– Metal rack (like the ones that are on grills)
– MRE packs only to use in emergency
– Flash light?

Still undecided on if I am going to bring a small tent and a fishing pole, would like to try to build my own shelter and would like to see if I could catch food without a fishing pole. Is there anything that I left out that may be needed?

Any tips as to what find of food I should look for? My dad suggested crawlfish. Any other tips of hints you might have would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
