I love her attitude, that's the kind of open, candid discussions that it takes to have a great relationship.

Brilliant.

I wonder how much the "boys" paid her to write that article? Keep it up Tia.

Love her writing style - I'll keep reading!

Get your Monday morning Tia Chocolate fix....

I hope Tia reads this thread. There are alot of 30-something single white women who vacation in the islands looking to have a fling with a black man. It's the old "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" routine, so don't be too hard on the guys that are just giving the girls what they want. The prelevance of HIV in Belize makes this extremely dangerous. This might be fodder for another column.

Moose - you are right - but . . . there are others who think they are signing on for a long term relationship and are fools. There was a gal, singer songwriter, who played at Fido's for about a week. One of her songs was "Island Boy Want's to Marry Me."

We all see the posts from these poor souls asking for advise.

What about men coming down here looking for romance?

Is this wonderful writer our Mary with the San Pedro Sun?

I think Rastatution is a "career" for some of these guys. There's really nothing anyone can tell the women to change their minds. I am always mindful enough to suggest the full body condom however.

yes harriette!!!! i love her writing i wanted to turn her loose!!!

i'm thinkin' along the lines of belize's own maureen dowd type column....

an equal opportunity razzer. she's readin' it moose.

Awesome column.....and yes, I've seen the land sharks first hand. You GO GIRL!

aww...shucks...glad you guys like it! I am enjoying this writing business, and am getting quite a bit of feedback. Thanks for reading! Moose...I am keeping your comments in mind!

Good reading!!!

Keep up the great work!! Love ya!

I LOVE THIS COLUMN and your attitude!! Thanks for sharing!

I love it too! Tia rocks!

anyone read the latest column? she's sassy!

I too enjoy reading her column, she has agreat writing style and definitely sassy. I have to say that House Hunters episode spawned a lot of the same comments sitting stateside in the living room between my wife and I. My wife went as far to say as she did not deserve to live in a place like Belize, and no we do not have a third attached bathroom either....

Phew, am glad I wasn't the only one who thought so...
DOA - your wife is so right! Some people just don't know to appreciate what they have. Oh my goodness I was so mad when I finished watching that episode. I thought it was just the irate Belizean in me, but I've watched previous episodes and it was her problem indeed. Grrr...still pisses me off!

Thanks for reading you guys! xoxoxo

tia - i'm still loving your stuff. sometimes hilarious, sometimes somber, always real.

Can we see if we can get TIA's ten commandements posted at the entrance to the hotels. Maybe placed on the beds as a little light reading.....

I have seen "commandments" like that posted in hotels before. Forget where - Dominica maybe? Great idea.

That annoying question
It is good to know that the Chocolates and the Trumpets will be having a group baby shower!

fantastic column - very fun to read. Hope perhaps get to meet you down Tia down the road.

Cheers from smoky, on fire (literally) Kelowna BC (actually the fire is across the bridge thank heavens). Pretty huge though and lots of people are still evacuated.

tia rocks

Carbunkle - ha ha di ha!
Consuelo - hope that we can meet indeed!
Jane - no, no...YOU rock
