Don’t panic!

I am moving from Typepad (hallelujah) to WordPress and it’s going to take a few days before things are back to normal. Categories on the left, archives and a search feature on the right. More to be revealed!

May 2011 bring many blessings to us all… and continued pura vida!

Love, Saratica

P.S. T*pepad makes it impossible to export photos (because they don’t want you to move away so they make it really really hard — not happy with that blogging platform) SO I have to import all the photos individually. This will take me awhile… sorry!

Question From A Reader:

Hello Saratica,

I found your interesting informative blog online. My name is Georgia and I lived in Costa Rica 2001-2006. Christmas 2005, I was robbed, so I moved to another country. After this economic crises, I am thinking of coming back. I have heard enough crime reports to tell me do not come back, but I have no choice.

How is Belen? I am considering buying a home in a gated community there. How is the traffic to Belen? I wish I could get your input.

Be well, be safe, and God bless, Georgia

The Malicious Drive-By Download Site

Hit it again: the site that downloaded a program that wiped Hal’s computer clean as a whistle. And I stumbled across it while researching Lotrel, of all things! When I realized I was at the Malicious Drive-By Download site (MDBD), I wrote down the web address then tried to close the window. Which was more than a little difficult because, when you get one closed, other windows pop-up. Eventually, you have to press "OK" to get the MDBD window to close… iffy pressing OK.

When I did get it closed, I did an . . . → Read More About The Malicious Drive-By Download Site

How does it feelHow does it feelTo be on your ownWith no direction homeLike a complete unknownLike a rolling stone? - Bob Dylan, 1965

To my gypsy Mom, this sounds like a little slice of heaven. Especially the "To be on your own" part. You see, Mom is dead-set on getting her own place. She’s known this all along and has been dropping hints like crazy… She may have actually said it straight out, but I have not been receptive. I mean, she just this minute GOT here, for goodness sake.

Lackluster

That was Dreamgirls for me. The movie did have its moments. But I saw Dreamgirls on Broadway. Film has a hard time going up against live theatre for magic.

Not only that, they took out the song from whence came my 4M (my memorable movie moment): "Even though my man throws confetti in my face, that still don’t make it no party. No, no, no, it ain’t no party, baby." Heck, Ain’t No Party wasn’t even IN the movie! They did add the brilliant Listen…

But, what, no time for both? Blasphemy. . . . → Read More About Lackluster

Life Is Difficult.

So said Scott Peck so famously in his book, The Road Less Traveled. When I was in my 20′s and thought I ought to read such an important work, I got as far as that sentence – the first one on the first page. Then I slammed the book shut and thought, "What an asshole. MY life is fabulous."

Hardly. The truth is I was living in such emotional chaos that denial was my only defense against simply disintegrating on the spot. There was no way I could begin to admit that life might be anything other . . . → Read More About Life Is Difficult.
