Thank you collyk, you're one sweet lady.
As a "pet behaviour consultant" do you think there is anything you can do to help "doggiematic"??

I knew that........

Everglades (I shall be in the Everglades soon at the Catfish festival), no I doubt I can help him..we could try neutering...but I do run an excellent workshop on understanding irony and sarcasm ;-)

collyk, neutering's good.

Where and when is the Catfish Festival held? Florida City? Do you visit Everglades National Park when here?

dogmatic, using the terms 'pavlolvian type conditioning' and 'licking' in the same breath really does not bear thinking about...the Catfish Festival is in Kingsland Georgia...it looks like a bit of a redneck giggle...I'm going...I have gone canoeing once or twice in the Everglades Park, but my favourite is Okefenokee..

my wet flatulence doesn't usually impair my judgement but anyone around me seems strangely disoriented for a while..

Collyk, I hate to disappoint yall, but Kingsland GA is 300 miles from the Everglades and about 80 miles from the Okeefenokee Swamp.

Not really, especially if you don't inhale.

Crackerlarry..I don't consider 300 miles a long way. I regulary drive that distance to visit friends. 80 miles is nothing, I routinely do that sort of commute for work.

Yes this is my real name. It is correct to assume that most with such opinion do not live in Belize as my experience tells me. They do not get upset about much there. It is also true that you cannot judge the country without considerable amount of time there. I attempted to ask like questions years ago. After several visits I can tell you the month I spent there one year was a real eye opener. I'm not saying that I wouldn't stay just with my eyes wide open. I agree the 18 year old would be in for culture shock. My 17 year old was with us under protest for 30 days. She would have liked to be in the military. Corruption is in every country. You cannot escape it. I hear the story from people here talking about Mexico. It always shocks me how perfect they think this Country is. I'm not anti american just a realist. I know most of these boards are to bring tourist to belize. The people here in the US should lighten up for that reason. Hope to see my old friends soon. Right now my home is Monterey, CA USA
