“Genetic Roulette is Jeffrey Smith’s second self-published book in which he makes unsubstantiated claims against biotechnology. In it, he details 65 separate claims that the technology causes harm in a variety of ways. On these pages each of those claims – addressed in the same eight “sections” that correspond directly with the book – are stacked up against peer-reviewed science.” – and showed it to be nonsense.
As one person summed it up: ” Bad science, fake science, propaganda and outright lies. All in the name of a political agenda. AGMs [anti-GMO folks] take it all as gospel and react like frightened villagers in a Frankenstein movie.”
Maravilla will light the torches and storm the castle.
CR needs to protect and secure its borders just like the US does……….wait. US borders are not secure. Hmmm. Anyway, Ortega will push if he gets away with this. Maybe the army should…..wait. Ok, where are the cops? 😆
OR – a friend with excellent Spanish found out for us that we can go to immigration, pay $100 each, and get a 90 day extension. You can only do it once but that is all we need as they have (finally!) delivered my birth certificate and we can apply for our first cedula!
Finca: “Coincidence is not causality” Try to remember that.
As to being “in bed” with Monsanto. Nah. Husband is a PhD in physiology though. Scientist, professor and teacher of science and math. No, he never worked for Monsanto. Stop being snide, please.
All that, and yet idiot Americans want to make their health system like that in Canada. Obamacare? BAH! My husband sometimes complains that we paid medicare premiums for years in the US and now can’t use it. I say, “So what?” I am so glad to be out of the States and living in CR 😀
[quote=”costaricabill”][quote=”jreeves”]We have two different pools in my neighborhood (at the beach in the Central Pacific). One is concrete but built above ground, the other is concrete but built below ground. The above ground one overflows during rainy season but is much more easily maintained than the inground one. The inground one is often chocolate colored during rainy season because of the mud that is able to flow into it when it is raining hard. Jessica[/quote]
Obviously very bad placement, very bad design and very bad implementation! Except for a few blowing leaves and occasional toad poop, our in ground, salt water pool stays pristine year-round (and I am on prowl for the toads, even tonight)![/quote]
Bill, who put your pool in? How big? What cost?

This has been explained SO MANY times it is redundant! I am glad you finally got it! Have a nice trip![/quote]We all miss stuff from time to time.

Max, your point is well taken. However, the caravan described, provided it stays together and on the American Highway, sounds safe enough. Just heed the warnings – don’t stop in areas that aren’t secure, carry extra gas/food, etc.
Oh wow! Just what I needed!! http://caribeshuttle.com works with Nature Air and has tour packages from SJ to Bocas del Toro, Panama and amazingly low prices.
Now all I need is a definitive answer – do we have to be out of country for 72 hours or just the day?
I LOVE welovecostarica.com! 😀
http://ecopiscinas.net is the company in Orotino and they have a 9 meter pool – big enough for laps, Maravilla. Ok, short laps…. A pool that big is not going to be 10k though.
Thanks for the info on this Finca. We are near trees but already plan on a covered screen surround built on cement blocks as a barrier to debris, bugs, snakes (dare I say “the neighbors?”) And a solar panel. We had a pool in Georgia and were in it daily. I really miss it. I would settle for a smaller one here although laps are excellent exercise.Anyone else have ideas and experience with something other than fiberglass, or is that our best bet?
