Pura vida! Tico

Oye Mae! Where are you from in Costa Rica? I was in Alajuela in '93 as an exchange student. What kind of business are you opening there? Roofing?

Tico, that's straight from the heart bro! I commend you for wanting to give back! I have many friends still from Costa Rica. I speak fluent Spanish if there is anything you ever need my help with, I will try and help. I have fond memories of that country and I was accepted with open arms. I'm not a rich man but do know commercial roofing if you ever need a hand teaching them this skill. Let me know. I haven't been to Florida in years , lol!

I have no idea what to say. I see parallels though. I even remember how upset I was hte day Pa died. My frigging druggie brother wanted to take the day off! Aaaarhh! I ended up wasting the day also since the job needed at least two of us. I think I went swimming or something. Not much different when step dad croaked either.

I sense some of what you've been throgh and I can only say 'Congratultions'. You saw the cause and effects, and nipped it at the roof. Good man!. :cheer:

Wow Tico! Both my brothers were druggies. One's dead and othe rin a home after a brain aneurysm. I wrote them off years back. To me a druggie is an animal, not a relative. I couldn't trust them, even in my house. I have a bad taste in my mouth for them. Yes, I tried things and stayed 'out' for a one year stretch. Picked a day to quit playing, had afling the night before and never looked back. My hat's off to you sir. Especially for giving back. :cheer: I haven't and doubt I ever will. :unsure: Again, congratulations sir! :cheer:
