Just a couple of comments to (Hopefully) end all this crap!!!
1st: Thank God I declined this troll's request. And if you truly are not a troll, I am sorry, but your truly come across as one to a lot of very experienced people!!! I have meet this type many times over the years- they come here with ALL the answers, they are "Gods gift to the chicas", they are the "ugly American", they are everything disliked by the chicas and the Ticos and by many of us Gringos! They spend a week or so here doing everything their way (the wrong way), then write a trip report all about how bad San Jose is, how terrible the chicas are in bed and how over priced they are, they brag about how they plucked the crap out of xxx number of chicas and mistreated them because she (they) did not want to do all the things he wanted her to do. They brag about how little they paid, or over paid, the chicas. They complain about how they got robbed while walking the streets at midnight in cargo shorts, a loud shirt, a ballcap on backwards, flipflops, and drunk!! If he is anything in person like he is behind the secrecy of the board, I would very likely left him alone on 6th street!!

If guys would only learn that acting correctly and treating ALL people with respect will ALWAYS get you a 1000% increase in the quality of your experiences in life!!

In this case I do not believe anyone was trying to pick on him; we were just trying to enlighten him on some of the things one should know about CR and the Ticos/Ticas, and especially about the makeup (nationalities) of the putas working here. But he immediately took offence to everything that was said and seemed to be determined he was going to do everything just the opposite of what was being suggested to him!! All I can say is "GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR COSTA RICAN EXPERIENCES"!!!
2nd: I am not going to have knee replacement as long as I can avoid it (hopefully never). And if I do ever have to have it or anything else done I will most likely have it done right here in CR. Unlike many , and maybe I am wrong, but I have utmost confidence in most medical treatment here. I have not had to have much done but what I have had has always been very good. There are good and there are bad Doctors in every country; you just have to do your homework first unless it is an emergency!! I am starting the process to get my residency (after living here 8 years) so soon I will have insurance here and will not have to be worried about having to return to the states to get anything done.
3rd: I have always enjoyed going on walks with guys (new and old to CR). I have always done it because I enjoy meeting guys, showing them places that they might otherwise never know about or find, visiting with them and giving them my outspoken, highly opinionated ideas on mongering and especially mongering in CR. The one thing if nothing else that I have learned over the last 53 years of Mongering is: there are as many ways to monger as there are guys doing it!!!!!!!! No one way is totally right nor totally (maybe almost

) wrong!!! The one thing that counts is that you, as your own individual, enjoy what you are doing and that you have the "smarts' to change the way you are doing things if you are not getting the results your are hoping for!! I have NEVER done the walks for money nor any other personal gain. I am a teacher at heart and a very firm believer in
"SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE"!! I really feel sorry for the few people who are so unhappy with life and so into personal gain or else, that they can not accept that anyone would ever do anything without there "being something in it for me"!!!
Though I will no longer commit in advance to doing walks, if you run into me in the SL or in a MP, introduce yourself and if I am going to be going to 1, 2, or maybe more places, you will always be more than welcome to join me!!!
