bonnielass comments on El Clán del círculo

The Klan's been dead for years. Their organization is weak at best and it really is just an excuse to parade their hate in front of everyone and not get the crap kicked out of them for it. (Parades, demonstrations, etc.) The only power they have anymore is to throw their 'name' out there and hope for some half-assed publicity.

bonnielass comments on Thoughts about the new site?

I like it. It's clean and quick. And I've not had any problems accessing this site from any computer on any OS. Back in December, the site would give me fits on Mac OS9. And yes, a photo gallery would be nice, maybe broken down into subjects/cities.

bonnielass comments on Montoya mixes it up

JPM drives somewhat aggressively and really has no ties to NASCAR, other than his team mates. In fact, Kevin Harvick was one of the ones that helped him when he first started riving stock cars. So, Juan Pablo doesn't feel the need to be polite, to put it mildly. Several guys have been racing together for years from dirt tracks to Talladega. So, they tend to be less aggressive. Which is why I'm glad he's racing in Nascar. He livens things up a bit. He doesn't give a crap. And I like that. Although I will say JPM did 'nudge' Jimmie Johnson out of the way. That alone made my aunt fall in love with him =)

Good god. Link saved. Thank you.

bonnielass comments on msaucey

Hey msaucey, I'd love to know your experiences at the clubs when you return. I'm planning a trip next spring and I've not heard a lot about gay clubs on any of the Colombia boards. I've also heard it's not safe being out in Colombia, but I'm only going on what I've read. At any rate, I'd love to hear more about your trip. Thanks so much!

bonnielass comments on The Tooth Fairy in Colombia

We had the tooth fairy in Georgia. And if I remember correctly, it was $1 a tooth. Except the one time my parents forgot who was playing the role of fairy, and I ended up with $2. $5? Good lord. I thought I hit the jackpot with $2.

You can't blame the rednecks for this one. Yes, some of the white trash types feel threatened by the surge in migrant worker population, but for those of us who live in the rural parts of Ga., who've worked on a farm, we don't mind at all. They're pumping money into our economy, and truth be told, there are dozens of little towns here that would have dried up and blown away, if not for all the immigrants. Unfortunately, we're not the ones in power. Case in point, Sen. Saxby Chambliss, Ga.-R, was one of about a dozen Republicans who was in favor of Bush's immigration bill. Granted, the bill was buggy, but he took a huge hit by supporting it. He's from the area where I live, and he's seen that we have nothing to lose and everything to gain from our local migrant worker population. Just sayin' ... Rednecks aren't the bad guys this time.

But misreading 'postpago' for 'prepago' is what led me to click on the link in the first place .... (Sorry.)

bonnielass comments on So you wanna marry that colombianita you found in the internet

I'm impressed with his unbridled anger about it all. Ans his mastery of the F word. I thought my dad was a pro, but not compared to this guy.

bonnielass comments on "Consomme"

Pardon my ignorance ... But is the chicken part in the photo Arthur posted a foot? Just curious. (And I'm southern, so I'm fairly used to oft neglected animal parts ending up as dinner)

bonnielass comments on Is healthcare free for colombianos?

Really? That cheap? I've been a lurker in these parts for a few weeks now, but the cheap dental care really grabbed my attention.

I'm in need of some work (Several thousand dollars worth, by U.S. standards) and I keep putting it off because I just can't afford anything more than what my insurance will pay ($1500/year).

If anyone has any information, please, please let me know. I was hoping to visit Colombia next year anyway, but now ... I mean, really. I'd be willing to go just for the dental work.

Thanks so much ...
