That''s very sweet of your friend''s husband, but I hope she''s not so upset that she can''t appreciate it when he finally gives it to her. That''s what''s happened to me on a couple of occasions where my husband will change plans we made for something important, and I got so angry with him that when the thing finally happened, I almost really didn''t care. But that''s just me.

I think she''ll be okay. Now that he''s bought it, I think he''ll leave her alone. He was riling her up to get information out of her. He explained that when I called him on it. |

Well, in his words, it was a great deal and something he''d love to have. But he isn''t buying it given that he just bought her ring. It took him longer to get it than he wanted because he had to earn the money for it on the side without her knowing. She''s been talking about this ring non-stop for nearly two years- I think he wants her to be genuinely surprised. She has NO idea that it''s this close. |

Happy to. We''re staying at the Excellence Playa Mujeres for a week. We stayed there last year about this same time and loved it. It''s hotter than all get out, but it''s low season- slightly more affordable and there''s low occupancy in the resort. We had a great time last year, the resort is pretty secluded and is quite far from town. We were fine with that- we went "shopping" once last year and it was awful- overpriced to the point that I could get it cheaper at home. There''s isn''t much of a "night life" at the resort, so it''s not the kind of place to go if you''re a night owl and love to do things until late. We said last year that it''s the perfect place to go with other friends, so that''s what we''re doing this year. Our friends haven''t ever been on a real vacation together during their marriage- nearly 7 years. I''m almost more excited for them to be going than us! The food is better than other all inclusives we''ve been to- buffet or restaurant for bfast and lunch; only restaurants for dinner. If you''re a "foodie", you probably won''t be impressed with the food, but it was dependable and we found no complaint with it. They offer premium liquors, though you do have to sometimes request a specific one or they''ll use the house brand. The prices have REALLY come down in the last year with the economy and threats of swine flu. We booked in February and got a great deal over last year, but the price has dropped even more since then. It''s nearly HALF what it was last year- and this includes airfare. We booked thru Cheap Caribbean and I''ve found great deals on that site for three years running. I''ve heard Travel Zoo has some great deals right now too. A friend of mine got airfare and 5 nights at the Ritz in Puerto Rice for about $600 a month or so ago. Have you started looking for anything yet? October is getting pretty close! |

Evidently he couldn''t contain himself. I got an email from my friend today with pictures of her new bling. She''s thrilled. She pasted the pics directly into the body of the email. If I can figure out how to extract them, I''ll post a pic. When i talk to her next, I''ll ask her how it all played out.

Good for him! To copy her photos to your Pricescope file under "my pictures", roll your mouse over her photo so it turns blue, then right click your mouse. When the little menu comes up, click on "save to" and that will bring up your "my documents and then within my documents- my pictures. Then left click on your Pricescope file and her photo will be saved. If you don''t have a Pricescope file, create one. Then you''ll be able to "browse" and upload her pics into your post to us :-) There is beauty, and then there is Bella..... http://www.pricescope.com/forum/show-me-the-ring/introducing-the-whiteflash-bella-pendant-t155624.html |

Thanks for that... I don''t have PS file, I usually manually upload from my computer. The issue this time is that when I right click on her photos, the only option is to copy or format. I can copy, but it will only paste into a new email message. I have NO idea what she did! |

Great ideas on places to book through. I''ve heard excellent things about that resort- so much that we are thinking of going there. I know it''s close, but prices keep coming down actually, so we are waiting on a good deal. Plus, that''s a project for FI...and it''s always hard to get him to pull the trigger. Thanks for the information, I''m going to look it up more!!! It sounds like a perfect place for us! |

It really is nice and the prices do keep dropping. I''ll try to remember to post a few pics for you when we get back. |

I am not one to be denied.... I have figured out how to get pics of the ring on here. I printed the email she sent me to pdf, cropped out the pic I wanted, pasted it into Powerpoint and then saved it as a Jpeg. It''s not as clear as the original photo, but it''s good enough! Here''s her new ring.
