saddlespur comments on Colombiano(a) and foreigner met each other - true life accounts

HOW did happen? Met online on a Mexican site?!?...I never thought Colombia as an option. I saw her picture and knew I had to know her. - HOW did you develop the relationship? A Lot of emails and MSN video chat. After my first visit to her in Colombia, I knew this woman was the one. Many trips to Colombia later we married in Manizales. - WHAT is the situation right now? We share a home and our lives in America. I bought my home in 2001 and though it is nice I hated it. It's only feature was convenience. My wife has made our home a place I want to always be. Our home has become a great source to recharge my mindset and goals. Feels like a slice of Heaven now!! - HOW do you view the future? (do you have any projects) We want to travel and explore America about five years more. We hope to open a business in Colombia thereafter and keep a home in both countries.

saddlespur comments on Drinking Club Colombia Now!

Only one cold one? Does she need to drink the other 11 to handle your ass?

saddlespur comments on RECENTLY DEPORTED

Sell books electronically downloaded via ebay. Sell other merchandise that you don't touch that ships from the states. Cut and paste, yadda, yadda, yadda.

saddlespur comments on New to Medellin

Stay at the Tiger Paw Hostel. Visit with Brian. He has a sports bar there so you can enjoy your beer over good conversation, great locals, and pretty ladies. www.tigerpawhostel.com

saddlespur comments on FARC member offers to release Betancourt, other hostages

Now their commenting "17,000" strong. I thought their numbers have dwindled to about 9,000...? I hope they release all hostages.

saddlespur comments on Bringing Money to Colombia

Have you looked into buying travelers checks?

saddlespur comments on Colombia: New Car Prices From Hell

If some people have to worship a mythical hoax that the science community can't even agree upon...I'll stay in Georgia. I would like to know though, since you know these things...What should the temperature on earth be? What is normal? Since man has been tracking this data for a hundred plus years, and earth is probably at least 200 years old. How does your math equate into what is "normal" and what is "normal"? Enlighten me, make me feel as guilty as you. After we blame cars and trucks, what's next? Next? Next?

saddlespur comments on Colombia: New Car Prices From Hell

Sloop you still believing that hyped up mumbo jumbo?

saddlespur comments on Visa time table from PBH members..

Thanks RJ. Did you depart for the states with your bride or did you come back for her at a later date? Is it wise to book the return tickets a week after the interview?

saddlespur comments on Gee, ANY positive stories about Colombians staying home

Funny topic. I never had met before my girlfriend and still have not met one Colombian that wants to "get out", this includes my girlfriend. She is just as proud of Colombia as I am of America.

saddlespur comments on money advice/atm

I personally did not get the Bank Charges. I notified my bank where I was traveling and I only used ATM's outside of banks. No service charges ever showed up on my statement.

I've spent about 15 days in and around Pereira and Manizales this year. It's not much time, but I never had the feeling I was in danger. Everyone was courtious and nice. Like anywhere you don't flaunt what others might want. I enjoy this area and hope to buy property there soon.

Why would you want anything about you associated with a lie? No self respect? I don't understand the mentality of lying to illustrate a point. What's the difference between you and your Fox propaganda. Are we to believe your telling the truth now?

saddlespur comments on Need Help With Legal Question

The best way to stay in Colombia permenantly is being buried there ;)

saddlespur comments on ADVICE WANTED!!

If you lived in Colombia...shouldn't you already have an idea of the costs?

saddlespur comments on Anyone interested in.......

You need to give that shit up and get a life in the real world...you'll be happier and won't have as much head clutter.

saddlespur comments on Cell Phone Surprise

I'm on Sprint as well. My charges were $1.99 per minute. Text is .15 each

saddlespur comments on Americans know little about Latin America: poll

Lucas your dead on! Kudos to you. Very intellegent observation and comment.

saddlespur comments on the most beautiful word in spanish

RF... Passing laws in Georgia is just lip service for votes. There are thousands of laws pertaining to immigration on the books. Enforcing them is another story. When the pressure mounts or they think the pulse of Georgia is more immigration control...They'll pass more toothless laws.

saddlespur comments on the most beautiful word in spanish

Living in Atlanta the Spanish word or words I think are beautiful...."Hot Plate"

saddlespur comments on Renting Automatic Trans. Cars

I rented a car. It's the only way to travel in Colombia in my opinion. Stay away from the automatic. The hills and mountains really work the transmission. Good luck!

Colombiano 81 you must of had a couple of bad "gringo male" relationships to be such an authority. As for us straight gringos...we're more than just money. You wouldn't understand.

Broken relationships hurt. I've come to find though we see the traits of others, or the potential thereof in their words, actions, and past history. We choose to look the other way for whatever reasons to ourselves... There are three sides to every story in situations like these...Hers, his, and the truth. Good luck to you. May your heart be lifted and set free to find love again. God makes everything but unbroken hearts.
