Crime Reports are Really Causing Me Grief

Thanks, gringal. I would never do that to me or to her. I am coming to see for myself first. Period.

After that? We shall see.

Sent you a PM (private message).

For those that think law enforcement is doing anything. Lately the policia have patrolled my neighborhood at numerous times of the day ,night and early mornings. Local, State and Federal unmarked trucks are involved. Just now 4 unmarked Federale trucks dove by with a young male tight up in back. It sounds like where they went they were not allowed to enter and they broke in. sounds like a bust to me!

NocanDo... there are lots of questions to consider when it comes to rent, buy. or lease?
Ferret is sooo right. There are different fits for everyone. If you research the situation thoroughly and explore all the options with your wife and partner... you will both arrive at the right choice for you.

There are just certain restaurants I avoid where guns may go off. But us NOB types are very social types and you will have a great time here.

Ah, well, no actually they are not any longer. Don't read the news reports? It is all over- the last rash of 30 kidnapped (18 dead, 12 escaped) were innocent victims grabbed off the streets, from bus stops, homes, businesses. And their latest threat is many more of same, women and children. There have already been several women taken in the past few days. It is one thing to try to gloss over the truth, but that statement was way off base.

Milena - Read the post After the Meeting Would Someone Post the Results.

Several women taken?? No women were kidnapped in Joco.

Looks like we need to double check our information... eh? My take is that one has to have the story check out with at least three sources.
MIS-information abounds, and hyperbole has become a habit... a bad habit at that.
...and we all know that hyperbole is quickly followed by hysteria.
Take a DEEP breath, Milena... Lizzy

John's right...There is a lot of fabrication & mob mentality going around. I also notice that the posters with the most concern, AND RIGHTFULLY SO, are single women, some that I know well. On Sunday in Jocotepec there were SEVEN full sized tour busses parked at the Malicon/park. The parking lot was full to the max. Familys were flying kites, riding the ferry boat, all the exercise machines were in use, many cook outs at the bar-b-q stations, etc. Just a normal Sunday in the park. Come on down, check it out...you are the only one who knows how to recon the situation and explain it to your spouse. I can't believe some of these posters who assume to know how to do that better than you and/or question your motives.

Anybody who has a Dr. Strangelove (Peter Sellers) picture I want to meet.
Nothing more to be said. Other than noticing GBATRUCKS is a black adder
fan. Must meet him also. I suddenly feel better knowing that others have
as much a strange sense of humor as I.

Fair enough, Zedinmexico. What do you say if you and I knock back a couple of hundred beers when I arrive? Talk about old times? :)

GBATRUCKS _ Great and most informative post telling it like it is!

Nocando, welcome to the board. Actually life here in paradise is so wonderful that we have to invent problems, so we jump to conclusions and make far-out wild statements as much as possible. Millions and bazillions of people have a wonderful and safe and fun life here every day. Why they sensationalize the one in a bajillion crazy psycho killer is beyond me. It's just a lot more exciting than reporting "everyone's happy today!"

It seems to be a law of relativity that one member of a couple is more enthusiastic about being here than the other. Don't worry about that too much. My husband promised to retire here in five years, so when it hit five years I hit the road and moved here. I sure do miss him sometimes.

Yes, I do like your sense of humor. You must be popular down yonder.

There is a grain (or more) of truth to all humor.
