Home Is Where Cheap Rent Is
re: 31: I have strong need for quiet, and will probably remain in my largely-inhabited-by-the-elderly condo situation. However, this does sound more like living in Europe, where I did bemoan the lack of noise police. Though it was funny when the French housewife downstairs would yell out a lusty curse at the offending motorcyclist or bread delivery truck driver. :)— September 21, 2009 4:09 p.m.

re: #30: I am not schooled in matters of currency and exchange; this is very interesting. I have always wondered what the issues are around a sort of informal reliance on one currency, while the official currency is ignored. and #32: Nice imagery! Where's your blog, elsabio? :)— September 21, 2009 4:07 p.m.

re: #28: "There's a difference between jalepeno-level give and take, and outright poo-slinging with five-gallon buckets as "entertainment." "robbiebear" (is that really the name for a grown gentleman, btw?)--you really have no point. You get to rant at your leisure, but others are not allowed to play out their differences? You might think you are the voice of reason stepping in, but you are just another contributor--you keep that in mind, natch.— September 21, 2009 4:03 p.m.

Hmm. How much for water and gas? Some food I can buy across the border, since I have specific dietary needs that include sealife but no land meat, products of which are snuck into unlikely food items. Unless you can buy good organic produce? We're used to paying more for better stuff, but love beans and tortillas, fresh and dried chiles, salsas, and queso fresco etc. etc. I imagine there are days the border's easier to cross, and you would know them. The main issue for me would be how pretty my place is. Spacious balcony? Quiet neighbors--no "Teds"--and maybe somewhere to do a little gardening. Or super high-risey is fine, too. With gym and pool. It would be so great to save the extra per month, throw it at the credit cards, and finally eliminate credit debt for good..— September 21, 2009 3:45 a.m.
Beach Cruisin' for a Bruisin'
Which one did you mean to post AG? The pics on the Stern site change frequently, to gofurry's chagrin, so call it by #.— September 21, 2009 1:15 a.m.

Geez, we should move there. A one br/bth is $1000 here, and that's cheap rent!— September 21, 2009 12:59 a.m.
Fanaticism, Zealotry--Cal It What You Will...
"However, it's not the quality of the food served at KFC that has PeTA all hot-and-sticky. Nor is it their stated claim about how KFC's suppliers are keeping their birds in little cages." Not true: PeTa and other groups detest KFC foremost for the inhumane and torturous treatment of the birds. This corporation is not alone in its practices; other fast food places and grocery stores purchase meat from factory farms that use should-be-illegal if not illegal methods of raising and slaughtering animals. The reason KFC gets so much flack is because it serves a LOT of inhumanely-kept-and-slaughtered chicken, its animal product of focus.— September 21, 2009 12:35 a.m.

Oh, and Visduh: You are still owed a slingshot in the ass for calling me and refried "US haters." :) Or you may choose "obscenities at one" (a.m., that is) :)— September 21, 2009 12:23 a.m.

geekess recreationally tempted: "Tequila drinking contest. Guess who my money's on." My money still's on gringo, even for a Starbucks-off. Or we could enlist Rangel, whose every blog ends COFFEE'S READY, GOTTA GO!!"— September 21, 2009 12:21 a.m.
Bypassing Bylaws in Golden Hill
For the greater good of greater Golden Hill, I think we'd all better carefully chew and swallow these transmissions. I would prefer not to have to swallow #s 7 and 27, so we'll leave those to Agent Hunt. :)— September 21, 2009 12:12 a.m.
