As I said, "It all depends on where in Mexico you are right now, because of course in the places where the drug-related murders are happening things are truly awful." That does not apply to the entire country, though, and that's the point of the article.

There's an important article about safety in Mexico today in the Washington Post that you all might want to read. I can't post all of it here (it's copyrighted, after all), but under the "fair use" doctrine here is a little bit of it and a link to the rest... It all depends on where in Mexico...

You did it right, then. :thumbsup: Do you manage to keep it rented regularly?

Besides meaning what you said, "ita/ito" also means small or little. For instance, "cerro" means mountain or hill; "cerrito" means little hill (or mountain). Huerra/Guera can be used simply to indicate someone as light skinned or blonde, or it can be used as a sign of contempt or to put...

Yes, it's Spanish.

Thanks, Cabo. Huerita is a diminutive of Huera (or Guera), which loosely means white or light skinned female (sometimes used as a pejorative). In my case, it was a way for my friends, both Mexican and gringo, to call me "Little Blondie" without me punching them in the nose for it. I guess I...

Hey guys, how about linking that article back to its source, huh? It's possible that not all RP Talk's readers know that The Gypsy writes for RP Tides. :wink: ( http://rptides.blogspot.com ) Now, I won't speak for El Gitano, but starting along about 2005 or so I and at least a couple of...

:rofl: You're firing on all cylinders this morning, Jerry! :notworthy:

Welcome back, HAPPY! I can hardly wait for your masterpiece. Hmmm, I'm just now watching a Dog Whisperer where a chihuahua is dominating and terrorizing an English Mastiff... you won't go all redline on us, will you? ;)

I haven't had any problem logging in, etc. But as for getting bumped off the forum when you don't have any activity, make sure you check the box under the login that says "Remember Me". I used to have that problem with the old forum-- it would bump me while I was in the middle of writing a...

I heard about the incident, too, but couldn't post about it without confirmation. That would have been irresponsible, to my way of thinking. Big thanks to Rosy for a job well done.

Merry Christmas everyone, and may you have a happy and prosperous New Year!

I published more of the known facts about the event in the Tides to help defray rumors and let folks make up their own minds about it without being led by incomplete reports. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff I've already been hearing from people about this... 6 Bodies Found on Ejido Land...

Can I bring my Festivus pole? The Rants & Raves section would be perfect for the annual Airing of Grievances...

Ha! Kenny, you made me chuckle. Reminded me of an acquaintance who was always saying "Kay Sarah Sarah", unaware that he was not exactly saying it right. We never corrected him because we so enjoyed hearing it that we picked it up ourselves. A shrug of the shoulders, a big smile and a "Kay Sarah...

It is a Federal offense not to declare currency or monetary instruments totaling more than $10,000 to a CBP officer upon entry or exit from the U.S. or to conceal it with intent to evade reporting requirements. Failure to declare may result in seizure of the currency and/or arrest. Anyone...

Ditto. What Roberto said.

I was wondering the same thing yesterday http://rptides.blogspot.com/2009/11/carlton-advisory-services-to-sell-condo.html Guess I should do some research on what project might consist of 99 units, unless someone here has a good idea about it?

For those of you who enjoy looking at very pretty fishies (Seadweller, I thought of you when I saw this), here is a photo diary of some real beauties from the waters around Hawaii. Yeah, a long way from RP, but nice eye candy anyway...

I googled "tonguefish" and came up with this Wikipedia offering: There's a long list under that of different kinds of tonguefish, one of them is "red tongue sole". A quick google doesn't bring up much, but there's a picture of one at this URL...
