I remember an evening with an ex-pat ...

Is an ex-pat somebody who used to be named Patrick or Patricia but decided to change his/her name?

Or perhaps someone who used to play for that New England American Football team.

I did not, so I will have to assume the opposite.

Shocking, but I believe your conspiracy theory has merit.

I received a special message today reminding me that I indeed had been included in the special group message that was sent out the other day. I must have overlooked the earlier one.

Restores my faith in Julien and the blog.

Just wanted you to know that on another thread I just referred a 65 year old future expat to the BBRC.

Thanks. They are accepting new patients clients. She will be in good hands.

I may have lost all incentive to keep this web page going. They are no longer showing how many times a particular thread has been viewed.听 聽In a way that is good thing.

OMG!! I was just about ready to start the betting pool for when it would happen.

I didn't mean to infer that I thing that the forum is dead. Only that a marked decline in posts is due to the fact that many of the topics have been covered a number of times, thus the drop off of posts. Only stands to reason, I thing. < smile >

Your right. Of course, many people don麓t do key word searches so the same questions appear.

A blog is too much work.  I am sort of glad about not having to meet quota. It frees up time for dealing with rowhouse problems and working futilely on my Spanish.

It could also be that people are just busy preparing for Christmas.

And now preparing for new Year's.听 Hope we hear from Nards again sometime soon.

I would like someone with a lot of knowledge about Ecuador to write to me.

Why not ask questions on here?

Welcome Matt, nice history.听 Would be interested to know where you lived in the Philippines, what did you like and dislike there.

I'm going to guess that the dislikes include dogs and roosters.听

Hi, Matt. I recently left Cebu City after staying there a year+. My neighborhood was reasonably quiet, but most expats I knew there had lots to say about dogs and roosters.

After a visit to the US, I'm now in Quito (just arrived). Can't help with Cuenca info, unfortunately.

Nice to see the altitude has not diminished your mental capabilities.听 Any headaches or other physical reactions to 2 miles high?

I look forward to diving in Ecuador as well

Then BobH is your man, avid diver who had trouble getting diving info on here.

I'm off to a beach house in Peru for a week. Gonna ditch this rain, and enjoy the sun. Leave Saturday morning. I'll touch the waves for you.
Stay Well,

Have a great time. I'll be getting into Cuenca at 9:00 AM on Saturday. Hope I'll be able to shed my parka, arctic snow boots, thermal underwear, electric sox and that the ice will be thawed from my mustache and eyebrows by then :-)

Now just go play and stay away from anything that has batteries, or plugs into the wall (no computer, email, facebook, etc.). Also, be sure to have a cold one for me... (OK, you can get close to refrigerators plugged into the wall, but only if full of cold cervezas)!!

Good idea.听 That low elevation beach living may do wonders for your apetite.听 Let us know how you rate this town and Peru against Ecuador.

It is about time I dropped from "top member of the week" position. Something is screwy with the way that listing is calcaluated, since if I don麓t comment for couple weeks, I shouldn麓t be appearing on the list.

It is obviously based on past performance or perhaps the amount of times your posts or threads you started were viewed.  I am sure it is a complex formula, and if anyone found it out they would have to be killed.  Then again it could just be screwed up.  People missed you so much they started viewing and posting on the competition "Best Place to Live in Ecuador"  I may have to revise my mid March overtake prediction.
