Dubia rocks? I haven't been there. Any
place rocks if you have the dought. If
happiness and the party spirit is contingent
on ones income any place will do. My point
is I want to be in a place where a party
erupts and people dance and revel regardless of how much money they have.

They are siliconas. That is an old novia de Bucaramanga, a gym rat.

john_stark says on Jan 5, 2008, 16:32:

They probably have their own version. In the meantime I'll settle for the Colombian version. I was talking to my daughter the Peace Corps volunteer in Costa Rica and she says that la brujeria is just as big up there in Guanacaste.

Mr. Hollywood says on Jan 5, 2008, 16:50:

WTF does the Peace Corps do in Costa Rica? Teach the Ticos how to count their money?

john_stark says on Jan 5, 2008, 17:00:

She's in a rural area of Guanacaste, the Mississippi of Costa Rica. Travelling there from San Jose is like going back 40 years in time. I saw pics of her room and it looks like the barn where I used to keep my goats. For a while she had to move out because they were afraid she was going to get dengue fever.

Why Mississippi and not West Virginia? ;)

Because I knew you'd chime in, Pretty Girl. You're right, I could have picked West Virginia, where shoes are optional.

travelingirl says on Jan 5, 2008, 17:43:

Well, those West TN peeps talk trash about East TN too though... how East TN is full of hillbillies while Memphis can't get rid of an idiot mayor. Don't get me started on that one. ;) I sorta miss Knoxville... it isn't the prettiest place in the world (other than the mountains) but it has several Targets for me to stop at, no one makes fun of my southern accent, and it has the fabulous football Saturdays in the fall.

Ah, well "Bless her soul" is used all over the south actually. It is pretty funny though, saying that phrase and then following it up with something mean. I never say it, seems a bit old-timer. ;) Of course some people down here claim I'm from the north b/c my accent isn't as prominent as theirs or because I don't like country music, etc.

Yuck, yuck, and YUUUUUCK! (who is Kelly Willis anyway?) A couple of Carrie Underwood's songs don't make me want to vomit but I NEVER listen to country music stations, not my style.

travelingirl says on Jan 5, 2008, 17:57:

I get the "South Carolina" thing all the time when I mention Colombia. So are you originally from Colombia? I don't see how they'd think you are a yank unless you somehow have a northern accent?

Country music has deteriorated considerably in recent years. There is a brand of Texas country music populated by people like Kelly Willis, Pat Green, Bruce Robison, Charlie Robison, Robert Earl Keen, et al that is alive and well. One of my daughters has sung on stage with Charlie Robison several times.

You actually like that stuff John? I saw Pat Green at the Houston Rodeo a few years back. He seems to have quite a following of drunk college-aged fans.

john_stark says on Jan 5, 2008, 18:58:

houstongal says on Jan 5, 2008, 19:03:

I would be working for Dell right now and the commute from where I would have wanted to live to Round Rock is terrible! It was a VERY difficult decision to make. The job was fantastic, the people were great. But houses in the $600,000 range were fixer uppers! I would have had to go up to $800,000 in order to find anything acceptable.

On the other hand, I love my current job and I have the perfect and affordable (and appreciating quite nicely thank you) house near downtown Houston (the Heights is a very cool neighborhood). So I turned them down. I don't think they get many people turning down Austin.

Culture is language and language is culture - Dr. Annamaria Napolitano

billyb says on Jan 5, 2008, 19:04:

I've heard good things about Austin, don't they have a real lively music scene there?

john_stark says on Jan 5, 2008, 19:13:

Believe it or not, there are neighborhoods in Austin where you can still buy cheap houses. My daughter's boyfriend bought one for a little over $100,000. The only problem is they tend to be on the other sides of Austin from the north and the traffic there is horrendous. They are finally building a mass transit line from Leander to downtown Austin so maybe in the future they'll run a branch to Round Rock and one to South Austin.

houstongal says on Jan 5, 2008, 19:17:

I know, but I didn't want to wait that long. South Austin is right up my alley in terms of taste. I would've cursed driving to work each day. And it's good that I didn't take the job, considering all of the problems Dell has been having lately (I guess it was 2006 when I turned them down).

So I made the right decision. Plus had I moved, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to travel to Colombia a few months later.

Billy, I think they got a weeklong music fest there, the week just before Festival International and Jazz Fest/NO... the musicians are always playing one, in order to pay to get to the next.. The I-10 Interstate Musical Highway... (humm.. I think I-10 runs through Austin, too, eh?)
