[quote=”DavidCMurray”]No, I missed the [i]No Hay Passo[/i] sign and there was the Transito officer waiting for me.[/quote]
oopsy, in town/city or out? just asking, as I saw little traffic enforcement in the limited time and area I was in….seem to be fast and faster as a rule or slow in mountain twists….
he was waiting for you, a helpful fellow with obvious no ulterior motive.:lol:[quote=”DavidCMurray”]In Costa Rica’s Napoleonic legal system, every infraction and the associated penalty is defined to the nth degree. There is no provision for paying a traffic fine “on the spot”, so to do so is to participate in bribery.
I once had a Transito officer offer to let me pay the fine I rightfully owed on the spot for c10,000. I politely explained (lied, actually) that I didn’t have the cash, so he’d just have to issue the ticket which he did — for c5,000.
You may be solicited for a bribe, but you don’t have to participate.[/quote]
as far as precise laws, I remember reading that in relation to buying property.
Interesting on the fine thing…..I have read the CR is ranked high in lack of corruption, but obviously, it exists.
USA really no different, just different methods, perhaps…were you speeding?
[quote=”Lotus123″]Maybe your perception of truth is wrong. But it is very difficult for people to accept this; they think they are their story. They would rather think “I” am on the right path and everyone else is wrong. Even the man that was eaten, was it wrong? No need to label everything as truth or untruth. Just look deeply.[/quote]
true, labels not always fit-I am a contradiction to many. Truth-someone, not something….
[quote=”kwhite1″][quote=”VictoriaLST”]From buns to balls (Christmas balls). What’s next? :lol:[/quote]
Thank you for for the laugh, sometimes we forget to laugh.[/quote]
could change your tag line to God, Guns, Buns and balls, but likely, would not sound right…..

Tis true 😆
[quote=”costaricafinca”]When we purchased egg layers, we got egg layers. And when we purchased meat chickens, this is what we got.[/quote]
that seems sensible, layers lay…..
to the original post, any sources for the poster as to where to purchase? Would be good, as you always know what you talketh about.[quote=”DavidCMurray”]A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is smoking a cigarette. The egg is looking very frustrated.
[u]That[/u] is the answer to the age-old question.
[/quote]I could only give you 5 points, though it deserved more.
[quote=”costaricafinca”]We have always purchased chicks….and have never seen any layers advertised for sale.
[/quote]so, can you help this poster and say where you got them?
We went late October 2012, mainly stayed in the Playa Hermosa/Coco area, some inland……had a great time, would love to come back sometime……we are beach people, but enjoyed variety……
[quote=”VictoriaLST”]What has it to do with CR?
We have Big Cats. Don’t play with them.[/quote]
well put, look, listen and move on, avoid sticking limbs, or bodies, in a cage/area……
or moving about in the wild w/o a guide or some education first. We have cats in our mountains, rarely see one, esp up close, but they are there….walk with a purpose, pay attention and a good gun/stick,etc might be handy…..[quote=”DavidCMurray”][quote=”camby”]Sounds to me that in the end, might as well do all the work yourself, health and abilities depending of course. Too much headache otherwise….[/quote]
Said he who has never picked coffee.
[/quote]again, and as noted to Finca, why go through the trouble for afew yrs a week/month, when one is capable of handling a broom, duster and lawnmower themselves-who said coffee picking? or anything else heavy duty? Not you nor Victoria, I can recall, said anything about that, just lawn and home, unless you have a coffee tree/bush growing in your home or, yard? Perhaps, down size to a apartment, less fuss?
[quote=”costaricafinca”][b]camby,[/b] you really shouldn’t comment on something you obviously know nothing about…:roll:[/quote]
I was commenting on the headache associated with simple jobs, like having someone come in and clean, if someone can do it themselves or a small yard, maybe one should avoid the headaches and laws and do it themselves, rather then have to take a tylenol, conult CR labor laws and spend time here on this forum trying to figure out what appears to be complex laws for a simple, part time job.
I occasionally hire a man and his son to do some yard work, we agree on a price and they do it, I pay. Simple, really. If he got hurt, then maybe would be much more difficult.
But there are no complex laws about paying him, how,when and what increasess set, insurance and on and on.david M noted coffee, ok, he has a point if one has a large sperad, much more complex. I was talking about all the apparent red tape to hire a lady to do a few hrs of cleaning. Unless one is elderly and/or hadicapped, seems not worth it to me.
Simple, really.
Not touching on anything more like a plantation, huge scale operation, F/T employment, farming, resteraunt running,etc.Your comments were insulting and if I want a talk-down and spank at my age, can get that from the boss at work.
Then again, you were rather snide, if I recall, when I returned from CR in your comments, seemingly gloating and deriding in tone, some, perhaps, that is your regular MO. Your comments and tone, then, took on a ass-motif, now, can ad a hole to your tone/wording.
you dont, apparently, care for me, fine….you apparently did not really read what I said, but no real reason to talk down and basically tell me to shut up, that is a rather ass thing to do.[quote=”VictoriaLST”][quote=”costaricabill”][quote=”VictoriaLST”]Bribes? What else is new. :roll:[/quote]
And Victoria, what proof do you have? Have you ever paid a bribe in Costa Rica? And please, don’t start with “no I haven’t but…..”
Like you say, [i]”There is what you think, what you want to believe, everything else….and then there are the facts”[/i], so tell us, is this what you think, or is it what you want to believe or is this a fact?
I’m waiting for the fact(s) mam, just the facts![/quote]
Does paying an “on the spot fine” qualify? If so, then yes.[/quote]
does the law in CR or another country set clearly forth what things can be fined and the limits? and allow for on the spot? then no, if it is hazy or not clearly defined/written, then you may have something there…
any clear examples?
