Next time just give what you have.</li><li> If the outfit you choose to wear cannot be worn to take a passport picture or in a court of law, chances are it is too revealing for a funeral.</li><li>Boredom with the homily being shared by the minister is no excuse to play Candy Crush loudly on your phone during service. Like seriously?</li><li>Do not be presumptuous and flop yourself down in the front row. Common sense should dictate that the seats at the front are for immediate family only.</li><li> If the deceased owed you money, suck it up. Do not start lamenting to his or her mother how you never got your partner draw. Tacky much?</li><li>Under no circumstance do you arrive late and demand that the pastor re-opens the casket.&nbsp; If you already forgot what the person looked like, look at the cover of the programme.</li><li>Selfie taking in the church is bad enough but when you ask for a selfie with the body, you are pushing it. Pray that the duppy doesn’t slap you for disturbing their peace.</li><li>Your cell phone should be off or on vibrate in the place of reverence so at no time should Dexta Daps or Alkaline ring tone disturb the scripture reading.</li><li>When the gathering makes their way to the home of the deceased, do not start asking for clothes, shoes and other personal effects of the dead. That is beyond insensitive.</li><li>Death resulting from an illness can be devastating so do not be fake and tell the family “Oh I know how you feel”…no you don’t! You ever had cancer?</li><li>Avoid telling their family members meaningless platitudes like ‘he/she is in a better place’, ‘in time you’ll get over it” or ‘the Lord knows best”. Nobody wants to hear any of that.</li><li>If the death was particularly tragic or suspicious do not turn up fishing for salacious gossip like a news reporter. Have some consideration for the bereaved.</li><li>Finally, if you and the deceased were not friends, avoid the fake tears. The hypocrisy of even showing up is enough, do not throw salt in the wound with the ‘cow-bawling’.</li></ol>\n<!-- /wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":2415} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https://buzz-caribbean.com/app/uploads/2019/08/Coffin.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2415\" /></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Death is a non-discriminatory visitor to every household at some point in our all lives. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Instead of causing added stress to the family of the deceased, be supportive in this difficult time as they try to work their way through their grief.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->','Funeral Etiquette...is there one?','','publish','closed','closed','','funeral-etiquette-is-there-one','','','2019-08-15 09:07:19','2019-08-15 14:07:19','',0,'https://buzz-caribbean.com/?p=2387',0,'post','',0),(2388,9,'2019-08-08 17:10:18','2019-08-08 22:10:18','','Heels-BUZZ','','inherit','closed','closed','','fashion-female-footwear-new2285500','','','2019-08-11 14:51:43','2019-08-11 19:51:43','',2381,'https://buzz-caribbean.com/app/uploads/2019/08/fashion-female-footwear-NEW2285500.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2389,9,'2019-08-08 17:11:19','2019-08-08 22:11:19','','beauty-fragrance-girl-NEW-6404','','inherit','closed','closed','','beauty-fragrance-girl-new-6404','','','2019-08-08 17:11:19','2019-08-08 22:11:19','',2381,'https://buzz-caribbean.com/app/uploads/2019/08/beauty-fragrance-girl-NEW-6404.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2390,11,'2019-08-08 17:14:09','2019-08-08 22:14:09','','Heavenly-Skies','','inherit','closed','closed','','heavenly-skies','','','2019-08-08 17:14:09','2019-08-08 22:14:09','',2387,'https://buzz-caribbean.com/app/uploads/2019/08/Heavenly-Skies.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2391,9,'2019-08-08 17:14:41','2019-08-08 22:14:41','<!-- wp:image {\"id\":2383} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https://buzz-caribbean.com/app/uploads/2019/08/aeroplane-aircraft-airplane-new-67807-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2383\" /></figure>\n<!-- /wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>At this time of the year, airports are\npacked, and planes are loaded with summer travellers.

It permanently affects body movement and muscle coordination but doesn’t get worse over time. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>CP is a physical condition, caused when there is abnormal development of the brain. This abnormal development then affects the motor area of the brain that directs muscle movement.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Yet, despite having CP,  Reece tries to live a normal life.&nbsp; Just like any other child, Reece attended Primary and Secondary Schools. She has never thought of herself as being different and as such, she decided to pursue a degree in Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC); and now, in her second year at The University of the West Indies, Reece is still defying the odds.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>After a little drive from Portmore, where Reece lives, she arrived in Half Way Tree. However, there was now a slight problem. The student buses she took during the school year were unavailable. This only meant one thing - she would have to do the one thing she hated doing the most. She would have to take a taxi. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The thought of that made her so anxious and the thought of the outcome made her worry. For Reece and many other’s with Cerebral Palsy, there are side effects such as one-foot lagging behind the other, lack of muscle coordination, anxiety and crossed eyes. The first made it difficult for Reece to sit in or get out of a car and what often heightened the pressure was the impatience of the taxi drivers. Today was different though because this time she had gotten into the taxi without a fuss.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>She was relieved, no excited, or maybe a mixture of both. Everything was going right. Nothing could spoil the day. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The drive to the University’s back gate was not a long one and when she arrived all she could think about was how she would safely get out of the taxi.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>She was seated at the extreme left of the car and could get out through that door. That seemed like the safer option but there was another problem. Her left side was her weaker side and if she proceeded to use that side it would have been a long and painful exit.

His words were like a sword, cutting deep. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Seconds later she was shouting back at him.

It permanently affects body movement and muscle coordination but doesn’t get worse over time. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>CP is a physical condition, caused when there is abnormal development of the brain. This abnormal development then affects the motor area of the brain that directs muscle movement.   </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Yet, despite having CP,  Reece tries to live a normal life.  Just like any other child, Reece attended Primary and Secondary Schools. She has never thought of herself as being different and as such, she decided to pursue a degree in Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC); and now, in her second year at The University of the West Indies, Reece is still defying the odds.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>After a little drive from Portmore, where Reece lives, she arrived in Half Way Tree. However, there was now a slight problem. The student buses she took during the school year were unavailable. This only meant one thing - she would have to do the one thing she hated doing the most. She would have to take a taxi. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The thought of that made her so anxious and the thought of the outcome made her worry. For Reece and many other’s with Cerebral Palsy, there are side effects such as one-foot lagging behind the other, lack of muscle coordination, anxiety and crossed eyes. The first made it difficult for Reece to sit in or get out of a car and what often heightened the pressure was the impatience of the taxi drivers. Today was different though because this time she had gotten into the taxi without a fuss.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>She was relieved, no excited, or maybe a mixture of both. Everything was going right. Nothing could spoil the day. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The drive to the University’s back gate was not a long one and when she arrived all she could think about was how she would safely get out of the taxi.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>She was seated at the extreme left of the car and could get out through that door. That seemed like the safer option but there was another problem. Her left side was her weaker side and if she proceeded to use that side it would have been a long and painful exit. So, right door it was. The right door was towards the road, making this a very bad idea. However, she took a deep breath and without further thinking, she opened.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>What happened next was scary, humiliating and very sad. It wasn’t new though. It was the truth through her eyes of how people with disabilities, especially those without a physical marker, were treated.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Without giving a warning the taxi driver blurted at her. His words were like a sword, cutting deep. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Seconds later she was shouting back at him. He threw expletives at her, forcing tears to well up in her eyes. His ability to not observe did not leave with him and she stood there, attracting the eyes of all who passed by. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:quote -->\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>She thought as everyone else did...had burning desires to fulfil hopes and dreams. She wasn’t at all different.</p></blockquote>\n<!-- /wp:quote -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Reece explained that she could recall many other instances on and off the University’s campus that people would hiss or murmur rude comments at her. The truth is they didn’t know something was wrong because they couldn’t see it. Sometimes they assumed that she was just too slow and those who realized something was wrong often thought of her as being different. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>She thought as everyone else did, she got good grades, participated in co-curricular activities and had burning desires to fulfil hopes and dreams. She wasn’t at all different.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>She has dreams of becoming a Jane of the IMC trade. She wants to advocate for those with disabilities and become a mentor for those who just aren’t as strong as she is.  She wants to travel the Spanish-speaking world to build her fluency in Spanish. She wants to make a positive impact on the world. She wants to be seen as normal because she, like many others, are no different.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>She wiped her tears and told herself something she believed.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>“Si que puedo” she said “si que puedo”.

Aside from the obvious issue with sexual intercourse, co-ed dorms also tend to be noisy and rambunctious because they usually have more parties than the single-sex ones do.

If you have certain religious beliefs and practices, ensure that this is communicated right off the bat to avoid awkwardness and/or later confrontation. Keep the lines of communication open from the start - makes for a more comfortable shared experience.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":5} -->\n<h5> Walk with your essentials.  </h5>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Do not take it for granted that everything you need will be in the room.

Aside from the obvious issue with sexual intercourse, co-ed dorms also tend to be noisy and rambunctious because they usually have more parties than the single-sex ones do.

In the case of police officers, offering gratuity can be viewed as bribery; giving money to journalists or disc jockeys is seen as ‘payola’ and some hotels discourage the practice of tipping in Jamaica as some employees go too far and actually harass guests when tips are not given or if it is not the amount they expected.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Which brings us back to whether tipping is really practised in Jamaica. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Tipping is still being done in restaurants and salons as these are service industries where the most satisfaction is derived – from eating good food and looking pretty. Its popularity, however, may be on the decline for two reasons.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>To put it simply, ‘nuh money nah run’. One cannot tip what one does not have. Another reason is that the attitude of some service providers turn off customers when they get demanding. </p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>For some, it is almost as if their arms are being twisted to give regardless of if they are satisfied with a service or not.
