gold digger comments on Making money from the Internet

I can tell you from experience that 99% of home start up "kits" don't work and are designed to take your money. There are a few that are legit. These consist of things like getting fake flowers in bulk and making arrangements and mailing them to people and printing flyers, etc and mailing them to people but you have to do so many a day to make anything. But I haven't seen any that you could make a living from. I had at least 3 websites that didn't even break even. Then I became an importer and sold things on ebay. I made a killing for a few years then people see what you are doing and sell the same thing you are at slightly above what you buy them for. Do people know that you have to mark things up to make money? Things are tough right now. I dabbled in the bootleg market but it's risky. If customs find it, they keep it. Your money is gone. At least in the USA not sure about Colombia. Maybe sell those Niggaz Jeans I read about the other day on here. lol

 

gold digger comments on Colombia will launch sattelites

How long does duct tape last in space?

 

gold digger comments on Anyone bought a pair of Niggaz Jeans?

I'm waiting for "whitecrackazz" jeans

 

gold digger comments on Better than CABLE TV

I have the Captive Works 600, great receiver. The 800 is faster with more options. Can you get Dish Net in Colombia? Maybe with an 8 foot dish?

 

gold digger comments on Come on People. (A Must Read)

Start a thread on "how to score a hottie" and see how fast it gets deleted! I remember laughing so hard at the old threads my stomach hurt. Not sure what happened.

 

gold digger comments on

I'm going to Colombia to find me a rich woman! The richer she is, the older she can be. Elmo for President!

 

gold digger comments on

Don't forget hydrogenated vegetable oil and tons of sodium and all the food colorings and artificial flavors that are supposed to be safe for us.

 

gold digger comments on DirectTV or Dish on Computer ?

If you get the special video card for the computer you still need a dish pointed to the satellite you want. Your best bet is to just buy a FTA box. The most popular ones can be connected wireless and are maintenance free.

 

gold digger comments on My trip to Chiclayo and I am now a Novio..I got sick and thank you PBH members..

That story made me miss Peru. I had the best time when I went there. The worst thing about traveling is leaving the girls and yes, SA girls are the best kissers. I have put Chiclayo on my travel list. Do you have any pics of her friends? I'm looking to settle down. You probably caught the bug in the airplane, they are notorious for that. Congratulations! What web site did you meet her on? Does she speak English?

 

gold digger comments on best way to send money to the girlfriend

Who even said that he had sex with her? Maybe she is saving it until after the wedding. lol Makes you wonder how she ever survived before the money started coming her way. Poor thing.

 

 

gold digger comments on DirectTV or Dish on Computer ?

I know there is a card you put in your computer that you can program to get all the channels (Dish Network & Bell Express Vu). Not sure if there is a stand alone program. Probably a scam. Get a video card with TV out and you can run any TV.

The women in South America are used to more aggressive men. Step it up a notch. Also, if you dance, it helps 99%

 

gold digger comments on Cost of petroleum

Here is part of an interesting article that I read: Gas and oil prices are currently at an all-time high - OPEC sets the market price. Woolsey says Saudi Arabia is using a chunk of its oil wealth to spread its brand of radical Wahhabi Islam worldwide. "The Saudis control about 90 percent of the world's Islamic institutions," he says. "And oil is the reason for that." Iran's big oil profits mean big money for that country's nuclear program and its terrorist proxies, Hezbollah and Hamas. Lately, Iranian Pesident Mahmoud Ahmadenijad has been joined by Venezuela's Hugo Chavez in threatening to help drive oil prices up even further. full article: http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/356986.aspx I don't think we will be seeing low oil prices again. The difference between the past and present is that before, the USA could lower oil prices by just not buying that much, which would lead to a surplus of oil and the prices would lower but now China,India, etc. is buying as much oil that is available regardless of how much the US buys. Bicycles are being outlawed in large Chinese cities because they are slowing the cars down.

 

gold digger comments on Cost of petroleum

There is so much oil in the waters off of Florida that it bubbles right out of the ground. I seen it with my own eyes. I guess they are saving that until they really need it. When the time is right to drill the oil, the environmental groups will be trampled over and told what to do. Miamimike- I'm getting a diesel to run on SVO soon also. Make a small batch of bio-diesel to use for warm up/shut down instead of diesel. Keep all the money you can in the USA. I hope everyone knows that the profits from the oil is funding terrorist groups in the middle east.

 

gold digger comments on Colombia could be 'very good gold frontier' in near future

Also, any birds or animals that drink the water die and there is always a spill. This can be human error or too much rain etc. http://www.rainforestinfo.org.au/gold/spills.htm Has anyone seen the oil leaks in Ecuador? One guy lit a cigarette while fishing and there was a big explosion that killed one guy and seriously burnt the other. All the Indians in the area have rashes and other strange things happening to them. I have nothing against big mining companies but I wish they would put a few thousand dollars towards safety and environment.

 

gold digger comments on Brits need Vaccinations?

If you are going to visit the jungle, yellow fever shot is highly advised. Tetanus,pertussis,diptheria combo shot is a good idea.

 

gold digger comments on

You should have told her that you would buy her an ipod mini, send her $50 a week, buy her a used scooter and that you would send her some clothes from K-mart and then told her to BEND OVER and shut the hell up! If you would have done that, she would have been yours for life.

 

gold digger comments on AIRLINE TICKETS ARE RISING?

This was true in the past but now fuel is 1/3rd the operating cost of an airline. Some companies are using less paint and lighter beverage carts to save fuel.

 

gold digger comments on America bashing

It's funny that everyone bashes the USA but when they get a chance to go,BAM they;re gone. I think that's a normal reaction to being jealous of something. We do alot around the world. If there is a tidal wave, earth quake, flood, etc.. we're there! I didn't see alot of other countries helping Peru out after that last earthquake but the USA was there I think the next day. If we could only be perfect like the French.

 

gold digger comments on

That's a great movie. I get 750 channels and every time I see that movie, I have to watch it. I also like when he said "We had just enough gas to make it to the island, ..... we're out of gas" When I was in Peru, everyone kept giving me good luck beads... they are different kinds of plant seeds. I also met a fisherman that everytime he went out he would light a smoke bomb in front of a cross... I asked him what it was and he told me he was praying to the river God or something like that. I didn't speak any Spanish at the time.

 

gold digger comments on

give us more information about the date.

 

gold digger comments on questions--

? It seems like Colombianas, once they decide "you are the one for them" give their heart to you, without question.... Hell yeah, your a walking US visa and endless supply of money. Sit down with her and seriously tell her that you want to move to Colombia and wait a few days, I'm sure something surprising will happen... like.. "my life is so complicated right now, I decided I want to stay single"

 

gold digger comments on PLEASE HELP!!!

give it up more and he won't masturbate. 4 years and no ring? Time to bail !

 

gold digger comments on How to avoid kissing the wrong people...

If in doubt, try the Crocodile Dundee grab. If you feel nothing, proceed.

 

gold digger comments on Buying emeralds in Cartagena or Medellin

green beer bottles make great gringo emeralds!

 

gold digger comments on The U.S. is an immigrant nation and Colombia is not

Don't forget the trail of tears. 4,000 Cherokees died. Indians were herded up and put on reservations. When they finally started to settle in, gold was struck and they were moved again. But at least they get free health care now. Most of the Indians here in Florida are doing ok. They just bought a hard rock cafe in Miami and have gambling places all over the place.(pretty sure they are tax free also)

 

gold digger comments on ABC Nightline; Most Dangerous Road In The World

This site has some good pics of it. http://www.thedieselgypsy.com/Road of Death.htm I live about 4 miles from that I-4 mess. 50 cars crashed. The smoke was so thick you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Fed Ex still delivered though. I hear a knock at the door and the delivery guy told me he had been lost in my front yard for a long time and knew he was finally going in the right direction when he walked into my car. lol

 

gold digger comments on My bad. Almost got shot in the buttocks Thursday.

You should have spun around and pissed on him. lol Does anyone know the street price of guns?

 

gold digger comments on

I also say move to Peru. I prefer the smaller towns where everyone is equally poor. Buy a scooter and go riding with all of your new friends. The food is good and the girls very friendly.

 

gold digger comments on

I have the solution to the no toilet seat problem. patent pending :) Notice the garbage can, yes, it's holding the gold! I once read while standing in front of a urinal, "players with short bats, step closer to the plate."

 

gold digger comments on

I stayed in a hotel in Peru and was told not to flush the TP. I went ahead and did it just to see what would happen. A few hours later, I smell sewer and look out the window. There is the manager with a shovel digging out the clog. I did hear him mumbling something about a "gringo" lol. I used the trash after that. A plumbing code in S.A. That's a good one. The only code that I know of is to make sure the pipe goes downhill. lol

 

gold digger comments on getting married

LOL

 

gold digger comments on Spam

Dammit, I sent her a credit card and we're getting married in 2 weeks. j/k

 

gold digger comments on Thanks Soo Much For The Warm Welcome

Imagine how boring the site would be if we just gave straight answers. We need to hear elmo's opinion on this. :)

 

gold digger comments on PARENTS OF GRINGO BOYFRIEND THINK HE'LL BE FOUND DEAD ON A DITCH IF HE TRAVELS TO COLOMBIA

I'm waiting for an X-Box drug smuggling game to come out. Where you do everything from grow the chit , wash the leaves with gas,make it into powder, packaging then running it through the Mexican tunnels into Texas or flying it into Miami all while avioding DEA & Border Patrol,etc. Great education for the kids. jejeje Tell his parents that your really going to Panama, then Colombia won't sound so bad to them after all.

 

gold digger comments on Health Care in Colombia

I also watched that sicko movie. It was good. I thought it was funny that they ended up going to Cuba to get treated. In the US, it's all about the mighty dollar. What our hospitals charge are rediculous also. I figured out what I was paying the last time I went to the E.R. $2.75 a second! I paid over $400 for travel shots, then found out I could get them for free in Bolivia.

 

gold digger comments on Desperately seeking colombian friends

The head is definitely photoshopped in there. No way the tan on the hands matches that face. I would paste my head on that guy but I wouldn't want to take anything away from the girls on there. lol Those girls are HOT. I wonder how much they cost?

 

gold digger comments on Leticia Colombia- how come ignored here?

I lived in Alaska for 3 years. In some areas I had to face into the wind to take a breath or you would get a mouth full of mosquitoes. They love to land on top of your head and bite you through your hair. Itched like hell. Bite through your jeans also. The Amazon jungle is spotty. Some places aren't bad and others are loaded with mosquitoes. The main difference is that the ones in the jungle can take evasive maneuvers and you can't kill the damn things and they carry malaria & yellow fever.

 

gold digger comments on yellow fever

I paid around $100 for my shot a year ago here in Florida. I would be more worried about malaria,leishmaniasis,hepatitis a,b&c. Hepatitis shots are highly recommended. I paid $150 for the 3 shot combo for Hep A&B. I think there are cheaper single shots that last 3 years. No shots for hep c, use condoms.

 

gold digger comments on Calling All Experts!

which is why there are so many offshore bank accounts.

 

gold digger comments on The word Gringo...is it offensive or not?

They don't mean anything by the word gringo. If it was a negative word, they wouldn't say it to me right to my face. I'm a big guy and could easily beat them down. They wrote "gringo" on your receipt just to identify you. I'm sure the restaurant didn't have a touch screen computer that printed table # 7 on the receipt. I do like calling my Puerto Rican friends Mexicans, they like that. lol

 

gold digger comments on What's Up with Continental (probably others, all the same)?

Round trip is always cheaper with US companies. One time the cheapest ticket that I found included a hotel in the price, go figure. Some of the large travel agencies run good specials in the off season. I have also had my bag lost. All that was in it were some old clothes and I received something like $700 and that was 15 years ago.

 

gold digger comments on Calling All Experts!

Last I heard, there was a tax exemption of $100,000 on money earned abroad. I personally don't think it's right for a country to get taxes from money earned in another country. The $10,000 form is to track drug money laundering. It worked so well that there are now no drugs in the USA.

 

gold digger comments on Retire In Colombia? Cail 1500 Mudered 2007

Proper way to close the door. Close it to about an inch away then back kick it closed. LOL

 

gold digger comments on Satellite TV in Colombia

Found some info. But it doesn't say anything about dish sizes. http://www.global-cm.net/point/DBS/CARIBSA.html I'm headed to Ecuador but can't do any testing on this trip.

 

gold digger comments on Satellite TV in Colombia

I'm trying to find out the same thing. I'm also a tester and would like to bring my Captive Works receiver to South America. I'm hearing something about a "south beam" and "north beam" but no definite answers yet.

 

gold digger comments on Colombia or USA, where to retire?

I read somewhere that Colombia is a second world country and the only real third world countries are in Africa now. Not sure of the real definition but I'm guessing living with no electricity, running water and digging through trash looking for dinner is third world?

 

gold digger comments on This Guy on Yahoo Answers want to come to Colombia and date 14 year olds.

The only problem with that is by the time she hits 18 she already has 3 kids. j/k

 

gold digger comments on

You should be able to get 6000 Bol to the dollar. I thought about doing that also but I would be scared of the border paperwork and carrying large amounts of cash on me.
