I have a 66 year old pal, a lonely horn dog bachelor like the rest of us, I enlightened him with stories and pics of our activities in CR and he was infatuated. he has a nice little savings and would receive a nice little ss income if he retired today, a CR retirement would be wonderful for him.

I am planning on "retiring" there in about a year to a year and 1/2, actually I am setting up my job so it can be done by internet and Skyp. I might have it accomplished in as short a time as 8 months, if so, I'm moving back to the land that I love.

If you ever check out craigslist, there are numerous 3 bed 3 bath condo's and mini mansions in Escazu for rent for as little as $1200 to $1500 a month so I was hoping that I could drag 1 or 2 friends along and live in one of these opulent places as opposed to a small apartment by myself, initially he was in, waiting for me.

Suddenly his on again off again wrinkled up old birdy ex girlfriend is back in his life, albeit only occasionally. She is starting a business and has three 20 something K*ds still living at home, mooching off mom. Her first priority is her business and the K*ds are second, he might be third in her list of priorities.

Uh oh...he's love-struck again, he's lucky to see her 3 to 4 x a month. He works 50 to 55 hours at a car dealership as a salesman just getting by, he was offered a promotion to go to a new hot dealership 3 hours away where he would be making a fatt paycheck. You guessed it...he turned that down because it's too far 'from her'... he also said forget about CR.

So now he works a strenuous high pressure job at age 66 50 to 60 hour weeks for chicken feed, had to bring in a room mate to his 2 bedroom house to make ends meet and is lucky to get 60 year old birdy poon tang 3 to 4x a month maximum. furthermore, there's no guarantee she won't blow him off again like she's done b4, CR would still be an option but he'll miss out on a job offer that would double his income!

Guys, just a warning, life is short, DON'T DO THIS!!! If you feel the inkling to fall in love again, do it with a CR hottie, then when your hour is up, give her a nice propina and send her on her way... 8)

Netgems...I always like your posts. I hope you make it down soon. You deserve it.

I had a similar incident lately. Several months ago, a business colleague stopped by to conduct some business. This guy is 62 years old, a very successful Nationwide insurance agent, with 3 offices in the area. He sat down to shoot the breeze and then he started losing it(cyring). He explained that he suspected that his wife of 28 years had been cheating on him. He hired a PI and got the evidence to support his suspicions. She was meeting some guy around town and spending afternoons in hotels with him. Unfortunately, I had to break off our meeting and could not speak with him a length or console him.

Last week, I was driving by his office and decided to stop in. We were sitting in his office and, again, he broke down in tears. He is in counseling with his wife and he says she is "reluctantly" saying she will try to make the marriage work and not see the other man.

I told him, I thought that maybe, it might turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to him. He became a little frustrated with me and a little upset with my suggestion. I told him, that his sexual market value was actually a lot higher than he thought.

I asked him if I could show him something on his computer. I brought up my facebook page and showed him pictures of some of my "friends" in Colombia. He was astounded. I then showed him CRT. I could see that wheels were turning in his head. I saw a smile come across his face. The load was lifted. He had an inkling of an idea.

By the time I left his office, he was all smiles. He was patting me on the back and thanking me profusely for stopping by the office. It was the best visit of the day.

I think she will dump him almost as fast your favorite hos in SJ would dump you or any monger if you said you could no longer pay her. It`s all the same in the end no money ,no funny.
