Wow, people!
I just spent 15 minutes following this thread. Which was a little like coming upon a car accident whereby people just gawk with their mouths open.
I realize that this (my following the thread) was of my own free will and I could be attacked for doing so...but it was the closest thing to a soap opera (not that I would know) that I've come across in some time.
I came upon this site,,,as a "newby" and had hoped to see some serious advice, help, etc., and it felt more like an on line game chat room full of pre-teens.
Thank you for letting me say that. I guess I'll have to steel myself for a few "quips" headed in my direction. There is no reason I should expect to escape the wrath of some of you.
Now....anyone been to Honduras? I think I have a fairly good situation considering all of the variables involved, but just wondered if anyone had advice on San Pedro Sula as a community.
Thanks all.....doggie
