Start the day off with a swim & some sun (haven't been able to do on NY day since my Palm Springs days).
Football on TV
Dinner w/a nice Cab Sav.

Hi Maria,
Welcome, have fun, & be careful of scammers...easy to spot though.
Una pregunta, por favor?...Isn't it Hola chicas?
Good luck.

Hi Mistee,
Welcome & Good luck. Have fun but be careful, lots of scammers but easy to recognize & avoid.

Welcome Yay,
Good luck & enjoy. Just be careful of scammers (Out of your age range, nude photos, breast photos, leggy super model types...BEWARE). Just have patience for the real folk.

Welcome hooauii,
Enjoy but be careful of the scammers in here. Real people too, you just have to look & be patient.

Hi Lex,
Welcome, enjoy but be careful, gotta weed thru a lot of scammers to find real people but they're here.

So many great songs but Stairway to Heaven is their GOAT!

Hi Lamchesa,
Welcome, have fun & be careful

In my past I dated several women with kids. Never gave it a second thought. And there were times that kids helped the relationship & times they hurt it. Welcome to the gamble of life.

Lars,
How do you like Dublin?
Spent last year in Gorey and traveled most of the republic.

Funny I had recently been thinking about that. I was thinking how when I was 21 I hopped in my car & spent 6 weeks on the road alone checking out collages in the Western US and seeing America. How I wouldn't do that now. Marriage put me in a shell, "family" didn't trust outsiders and chased away most friends. Breaking with my in-laws after my wife's death I wanted to get the old me back. So, with only Internet research I packed up & moved to Costa Rica by myself, not knowing anyone and knowing very little Spanish. I had rented a condo for 2 weeks in which to sink or swim. So yes I've changed but I would have to say, Still Crazy After All These Years!

Loyal1,
One of the 1st ways to be safe...read the profile. If location, physical description, there's more photos/less clothes or sometimes even no profile you may have caught you a Catfisher! When you do catch one you can do any or all of the next items. Block them, report them, or screw with 'em but don't give them any vital info...waste their time. Good luck.

Riverspirit,
Thanks to Poetrywriter, I just did! lol

Alright it's Saturday!!!...Oh, wait I'm retired...no difference.

Cat,
Don't feel too bad, mine lasted too long!lol

Hey Soufie,
Been here since end of September & so far love it
The Ticos(locals) are friendlier than Canadians if such a thing possible
US dollars spend better than local money (colones)
Year round days usually 85 and nights 75 with 12hr days (5:30am to 5:30pm). There is only 2 seasons here. Dry=tourist season till May & Wet, still hot June-Nov
I've got a condo 2 block from the beach & 4 from downtown
Every morning I wake up to the sounds of White Wing Doves (3 nests on my place), tropical birds & howler monkeys.
Tons of Canadians(cheap direct flights from Toronto to Liberia) & us Yanks. In fact there is a whole area of town(Las Palmas) beautiful and full of North Americans.
They say a family of 3 can live like kings for $1500/mo (though beach more expensive)
For $700/mo I get a 3 story condo fully furnished 2bed/2bath w/washer&dryer. Large beautiful kitchen(all US stainless appliances). The only 2 utilities I pay are electric(lot of A/C) for $65/mo & TV/internet (300channels,many in English) for $18/mo
Everything else covered including a gardener for my large patio. Food runs me $18 to $60 a week and the fruit here is to die for. Main transport here is buses, foot, bike, motorbike & golf carts & Taxis. Gas is expensive over $4/liter. To go from one end of town to the other by Taxi=1000 colones(about $1.60). So I like it! Opps rambled on a bit much, sorry.

Didn't get married till I was 41

Just seeing if I'm the only member living in Costa Rica.
Mingle the site with the most Costa Ricans...and that's me & the number is 1.lol

Hi Joker,

I'm too far away for coffee(Costa Rica) but I would to be a fly on the wall with a meeting between you and Mike(from Kuala Lumpur!). lol
Oy, now it's getting weird in the Forums.
