there you go again 😀 just when you were actually speaking some common sense.. you go back into the abyss again.:D

I will never understand people quite like yourself David. No Offense but your perceptions of realities are so way off base sometimes.

maybe its because your a mac guy LOL

in the end it does not really matter anyway

these are all just opinions and nothing more. I am sure you are not trying to change anyone’s opinions as I sure as heck give a rats ass of yours

my point is it’s just conversation.. you know

mental masturbation :):):):)

so onward we move

[b]sorry you have such disdain for money
[/b]
I happen to enjoy being able to generate revenue at will and not sit on my ass waiting for a government check.

Hopefully my kids will follow the same path BUT more importantly also learn tolerance :):):)

being tolerant of people with different views than thier own is just as important as making money.

as I am a firm believer of NON Aggression just as I firmly believe in the right to defend yourself.

lets talk about misinformation for a moment.

who said getting a gun permit is near impossible??

I am not that intelligent and I have a Legal carry permit??

granted you must be legal.. and of course know the language but aside from that its pretty easy.

want to see my pistol LOL

[quote=”DavidCMurray”]In some cases, medical care providers, firefighters, police, prison guards and others do, in fact, jeopardize their own safety, their lives, to protect and to serve us. And while air traffic controllers may not be at quite the same level of risk, certainly they DO protect and serve. Try flying without their service.

Since legal self-protection (gun possession) in Costa Rica is so nearly impossible, the advice to anyone not here already would be not to come, which would, of course, pull the rug out from under anyone in the real estate business. Is that what you’re really advocating? And those already here should depart posthaste, right? Otherwise, everyone, including our hired and heavily armed personal bodyguards, should hire their own bodyguards.

Your contempt and disdain for all things and all people governmental is readily apparent, Scott, but if you’re going to wear it on your sleeve, you need to formulate less embarassing ad hominem attacks.

Now, shall we open up the discussion to include those whose sole purpose in life is to whore after money?[/quote]

David

I have this incredible pain in the side of my stomach and as much as it pains me

I have no choice but to agree with your assessment.

😀

[davidd]

David

wow! seems you have a nice set up at this point.

so how many kilowat hours are you producing every month average???

I have installed 12 panels and it is also grid tied.

i am going to modify this with a battery back up so the house will be on battery all the time and in the event of power outage everything will stay on.

battery backups I have researched costs close to $3000 by the time you factor shpping and taxes here.. almost 400 pounds.. :oops::oops::oops:

also just recently got into induction cooking stovetop which consumes 70% less energy

every little thing helps 🙂

[quote=”DavidCMurray”]barbara ann, there’s something wrong with the picture you paint. If you’re using 800 to 900 kwh per month and NOT using air conditioning, something on your side of the meter seems terribly wrong.

For comparison, we have neither heat nor a/c and we consume about half what you use. We never use our ceiling fans. When we leave a room, we turn off the lights, but the iMac and the two iPads are plugged in and running 24/7, we have one large refrigerator, and we use the electric dryer for every load. We bake only rarely, but Marcia uses the electric stovetop every day for lunch.

I wonder if a local electrician might find something amiss in your wiring, or maybe you should catalog all the electricity-using devices (add up the draws) and see what you get.

We have solar water heating. That is probably the simplest and most cost-effective means of offsetting your electricity consumption. It has a backup electrical element for when there isn’t sufficient solar energy.

About three years ago, we invested in a six-panel grid-tied photovoltaic system that produces about 190kwh per month on average year round. By “grid-tied” I mean that we’re connected to ICE’s electricity system.

These panels, which are wired into our main electrical panel, provide electricity when the sun is out and when our devices are running. When the output exceeds our demands, it sends electricity back into ICE’s system and our meter runs backward which reduces our bills. When the panels are not producing enough energy but our devices are consuming it, we get the electricity we need from ICE.

The initial installation cost about $8,500 but prices have come down since then and the efficiency of the panels has improved.

A month or so ago, we installed six more panels as an extension of the existing system. Whereas the first six panels are rated at 200 watts, the new ones are 250 watts — a 25% increase in productivity, and they were cheaper.

I’m very confident in the work of the gent who installed our system and I’d be happy to share his contact information. I have no business interest in his company.

[quote=”barbara ann”]cant afford the initial investment of solar. some quotes are as high or higher than the states[/quote]

Barbara

how can you NOT afford the investment

your shelling out $300 a month and you know its going to get worse as time goes on

taking an initial $15000 that can generate 600 to 800 kilowats per month

say $250 per month that is $3000 per year

whats that 20% per year R.O.I.????

in 6 years it pays for itself and continues to bring dividends

your paying now $3600 per year.. that you will never get back in 10 years thats $36000

gone.. out the window.. eaten up by Mr ICE 😀

its a no brainer

now of course you must actually own the property your thinking of doing this on

send me a PM as I have interest in a business here and I can have my guy call you for quote

[quote=”waggoner41″]We love our American electic and electronic devices, don’t we.

I don’t see bills of less than $200 and I live at 2900 ft. We use no A/C but do have a cooler set up in the master bedroom.

There is also the freezer, two refrigerators, computers, and many other electrical devices..[/quote]

[quote=”barbara ann”]we are in jaco, our electric is 300+ without using air conditioning. this month ICE raised their rated another ten per cent. I think they have raised the rates every month since the first of the year. we went to ICE with a spreadsheet showing our usage which is between 800 and 900 kw a month for four years yet our bill has gone from 160 to over 300. we had blown in insulation put in to see if that would help and led bulbs. got rid of the curly mercury laden chinese bulbs. we should know next month……………its awful. I have friends that are paying over 400 with families here[/quote]

I can answer that question

it’s a write off Jerry 🙂

Next question….

Under which of these presidents did the (acknowledged) National Debt increase the most?

We’ll ignore the debt to the SSA and Medicare programs just this once… since that opens up a whole other debate.[/quote]

and you know what

I don’t blame these guys whatsoever it’s NOT thier fault

its the peoples fault.

sadly

still does warrant the question

what is the actual R.O.I of this trip. since its american tax payers money that is being spent.

reminds me of that seinfeld episode

its a write off jerry :D:D:D

It would pay you to read the entire article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_international_trips_made_by_the_President_of_the_United_States
For comparison Obama has taken 26 trips so far during his presidency with four more planned this year.
George Bush took 140 trips during years in office
Bill Clinton took 133 trips during years in office
George H W Bush took 60 trips during years in office
Ronald Reagan took 49 trips during years in office
Jimmy Carter took 31 trips during years in office
Gerald Ford took 19 trips during his year in office
Richard Nixon took 43 trips during his years in office
Lyndon Johnson took 27 trips during years in office
John Kennedy took 16 trips during years in office
Dwight Eisenhower took 37 trips during years in office
Harry Truman took 6 trips during his years in office
Franklin Roosevelt took 52 trips during his years in office

Those who criticize the cost of Obama’s flights do not want you to know that George W. Bush spent at least $20 million taxpayer dollars just on flights to his ranch in Crawford.

So Aguirrewar

your saying that this trip will cost the AVERAGE AMERICAN TAXPAYER $10 to $15 million dollars???

8)8)8)8)8)8)8)8)8)8)8)8)

I wonder what the actual R.O.I. on this trip for the American Taxpayer??

also I forgot.. Ms Chinchilla also gave off all public employees a paid off day.. how much would that be in dollars of wasted tax payers

it’s simple: IT’S NOT THIER MONEY 🙂

http://youtu.be/szwclmmKwLg

[quote=”aguirrewar”]It
is going to cost a whole lot more than $5 million, the White House has to send ahead of time an advance team to make arrangements with the US Embassy and sweep the hotel where he is going to stay.

Make travel plans and inspect the roads he will travel, send his LIMO and other vehicles for support, communications (SECURED), food, extra security, etc..

He arrives 3 May and departs 5, 3 days total for about $10-15 million and that is not counting what the different money the PRESS and the Costa Rica gov. will spend.

In the meantime Washington, DC does not go to sleep, there will be provision to have in the capitol a MIRROR government just in case.

i guess your scan reading again 🙂 we have this phenomenon called “Scanning” it is where we go thu most of the information we deal with day to day.. in a topical scanning mode and then make comments based on that.

I did not write in scanning mode so this is my fault.

now what part of [size=200]WAGER[/size] and [size=200]TAKING A GANDER[/size] was unclear???

maybe its me

but to me they convey [size=200]speculation[/size][b][/b].. I was NOT quoting FACT how can I since the event has NOT happened yet LOL

we can only speculate at best and take various numbers and make an informative GUESS

and I asked for feedback

so again my initial speculation considering some of the past trips the king has taken..

we will see in the next few months more facts

:roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:

8 to 10 million??? wow I didnt speculate that high

but 2 million just for the trip..

and I wonder how much it costs to send all the pre personel who are already here in the country prepping the area

I think there are a few dozen

so cost for them housing food transportation..

545 vs. 300,000,000 People by Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don’t propose a federal budget. The President does.

You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don’t write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don’t set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don’t control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don’t care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator’s responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. Only the President can propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted — by present facts — of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can’t think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the
plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it’s because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it’s because they want it in the red.

If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it’s because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan …

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it’s because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let
them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like “the economy,” “inflation,” or “politics” that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.

They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.

Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees…

We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

Charlie Reese is a former columnist of the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper.

What you do with this article now that you have read it… is up to you. This might be funny if it weren’t so true. Be sure to read all the way to the end:

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table,
At which he’s fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for
peanuts anyway!

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.

Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won’t be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He’s good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he’s laid…

Put these words
Upon his tomb,
‘Taxes drove me
to my doom…’

When he’s gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

Accounts Receivable Tax

CDL license Tax
Cigarette Tax

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What in the heck happened? Can you spell ‘politicians?’
