My fiancee and I don’t want to have some boring wedding just like everyone else. Rather, we would like something to remember all our lives. We have had some of our friends go to Mexico for their weddings but we wanted something a little more elaborate. We were thinking something in the Caribbean.
On our quest to find the perfect location for our wedding, we came across some information about the Grand Caymans. To be honest, when we first considered this location, all I could think of is offshore investing. But little did I know that this would be the location for our wedding.
The first step for us was to check into what was involved in a Cayman Wedding. We quickly consulted the Cayman Island Business Directory to find a good wedding planner. They were very knowledgeable and helped me and Kim setup our wedding. The prices were very reasonable and we will be getting married on the beach… nothing like the feeling of sand underneath your bare feet…
We’ll keep you all posted on how the wedding goes… I can’t wait.

If you have children, sometimes what comes out of their mouth shocks you. They are not burdened with a need to conform to expected social behaviors, and they just speak their honest thoughts. There have been many times where I should have kept a straight face when my son spoke, but all I could do is roll around laughing . That is why I find little johnny jokes so funny.
If you are to look up the definition of a little johnny joke on wikipedia, you would find the following definition:
"Little Johnny jokes are about a small boy who likes to ask embarrassing questions and has a very straightforward thinking."
The following is a clean example of a little johnny joke from Funny Jokes:
A professor of chemistry wanted to teach his 5th grade class a lesson about the evils of liquor, so he produced an experiment that involved a glass of water, a glass of whiskey, and two worms. “Now, class. Observe closely the worms”, said the professor first putting a worm into the water. The worm in the water writhed about, happy as a worm in water could be. The second worm, he put into the whiskey. It writhed painfully, and it quickly sank to the bottom, dead as a doornail. “Now, what lesson can we derive from this experiment?” the professor asked.
Little Johnny raised his hand and wisely responded, “Drink whiskey and you won’t get worms!”
If you are like me, you are always trying to get an edge over your competition. I read a lot of books, articles, magazines, do puzzles and play games in an effort to increase my brain power. One of the easiest and most useful tools I have found (not to mention convenient) are crossword puzzles.
The real benefit of crossword puzzles may not be so apparent - most people would consider spelling to be the primary skill you learn from crosswords. But really, the learning doesn’t stop there: you learn problem solving skills, learn about history, current events, celebrities, music, etc. To be honest the possibilities are endless. In fact, studies have shown that people who do some sort of mind puzzle daily are more likely to retain or even increase their cognitive abilities later in life.
Convenience also makes this brain challenging tool so much more attractive than other learning tasks. I can do a crossword on the bus, on a plane ride, at breakfast, and even on my break at work. Also, there is not much setup involved - either I can do the one in the newspaper, in a crossword book, or even do printable crossword puzzles I found online.
If you do crossword puzzles for a long time, you may feel that you have what it takes to make your own puzzles. Take it from me, doing it on paper doesn’t look so pretty. I did manage to find a free online crossword puzzle maker that was easy to use, and did infact create some nice, professional looking puzzles.
Return of Premium Term Life Insurance
Return of Premium Life Insurance refunds your premiums if you don’t die.. One of the biggest objections to buying Term Life Insurance is that people see themselves outliving the specified term and often think of the premiums as wasted money. As a result, the insurance industry has answered that objection with the recent introduction of Return of Premium term life insurance.
Return of Premium (ROP) combines the benefits of traditional term life insurance with a return of premium feature. Simply put your family receives a lump sum death benefit if you die, otherwise the insurer returns all your premiums. This money-back guarantee can be particularly comforting for those that believe death will not occur during the term of coverage.
Mortgage Insurance
Mortgage Insurance is insurance for the lender and is sometimes required by lenders on lower down payment loans. It protects the lender in case you’re unable to pay. Borrowers are able to purchase homes that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford, due to high 20 percent down payment requirements.
Private Mortgage Insurance(PMI) is insurance on your mortgage designed to assure your mortgage company against non-payment should you not make your loan payments. Your mortgage insurance protects the lender, making their investment in your mortgage a sure thing. Private mortgage insurance is frequently called for by mortgage companies because of the larger number of defaults that come with minimal down payment mortgages. It allows borrowers to get into properties that they might not otherwise be able to purchase because of large down payment requirements.
Car Insurance
Will you get your cars actual value (your perceived value) from your car insurance company? If your car is "totalled", it’s your insurance company’s responsibility to provide you with an amount of money that would purchase an equivalent car. This doesn’t always happen. They have their own formulas and will often consider quotes from various dealers that aren’t always that attainable, and this isn’t always a good indication of your specific vehicle’s true worth. Every car is different, with things like condition, mileage, and repairs playing vital roles. If they choose to use one of these methods, you may want to present them with some local quotes of your own. Keep a documented vehicle history as well, so you can present repair and maintenance receipts if there’s a dispute. Make sure the amount you and your insurer settle on includes sales tax for the purchase of your replacement automobile.

If you have ever tried to be creative while writing an article or paper for school you know that sometimes you can get writers block. Sometimes something as simple as a break can solve your problem. Try some of these other tricks to spark your imagination:
Carry a note pad
If you carry a note pad with you wherever you go, when you come up with a good idea, you can write it down for later. Refer to this notepad when you are having a rough moment, and ideas will come to you.
Take a Break
Sometimes taking a break from what you are working on will give your mind to come up with other ideas. Go for a walk, go get a coffee, or anything that will set your mind to ease.
Sleep on it
Sometimes a good nights sleep will spark your imagination. The rest you get will refresh your mind so that when you wake up. Also, while you are sleeping your mind will work on finding a solution for your task.
