When did you come to the US?I first work here in 1976, then bought a vacation home in SFO in late 80's and changed to permanent resident in 1996, but my children have been coming here for yearly vacation since 1978. Cheers,

Jill-of-all-Trades far from having everything figured out!  More info | Jun 01, 2011 20:17 | #8796 monk3y wrote in post #12518866 Mel.. my brother is about to buy a 6 hectare land with 1500 mahogany trees (12years old) and about 500 Mango trees for $35,000 how's that for cheap?  basically we are buying the Mahogany trees since we have our own manufacturing plant and somehow the land looks like its a giveaway The mahogany trees are worth it themselves! $2500 an acre is not bad. Depends on where it is, what the soil is, what is on it, and stuff like that. The trees add value for sure, but I wouldn't call it really cheap. At least not if it was here, but land is very valuable here. Melody

I'm hoping to continue cycling till I can't do it anymore. You'd be surprised at how many retired folk I see on one of the flat trails I ride on. Yeah, I'm seriously trying to get my bike repaired, but that will require my ex-wife to take some responsibility. She's not too good at that... Tony

More info | Jun 01, 2011 20:20 | #8801 tonylong wrote in post #12518791 Well I'm sure you young studs and bike enthusiasts wil find this story from today really frickin' hilarious... First, I haven't ridden a bike for probably 10 years. I turned 60 in March and am definitely not what you would call in "good shape" either -- a half hour walk is to me exercise. And, in the weeks since my daughter wrecked my car, until something really affordable shows up, walking has been my main mode of transportation, just to get me to a couple places a couple times a week or so. Well, my daughter visited for a couple days this week so we could get her laptop up and running, which we succeeded in doing, although Adobe support failed to return calls to deactivate my old copy of CS3 so I could install it on her laptop. I ended up installing an available copy of Elements 5 and, with my available copy of Lightroom 1.4 she is now quite happy once I upgraded her memory to 1.256 Gig from the terrible 256 Meg it had. And then, I sold my wrecked car on Craig's List Saturday, which left me with $300 cash burning a hole in my pocket. Well, I really have no use for carrying cash around, I just use a debit card. I needed the cash in the bank, not in my pocket. Well, a hike to the bank and back would be about 3 miles. But, my daughter brought her old bike with her (she rides it to and from bus stops to get to here). So, I figured "what the hey, I'll hop on the bike!" and so prepared to ride to the bank, a bit farther to get some foodstuffs, then back! So, off I rode. The terrain here, unfortunately, is not flat, it's half uphill and only half downhill and it was a pretty low-geared one-speed bike. Well, this 60-year-old guy was pretty exhausted before being even half way there...I did end up walking up some of the longest grades... And, imagine being so out of practice you were like a wobbly little kid riding a bike for the first time. Add to that the fact that I found out after taking off that the handle bars had a wobble to them -- a bolt needed tightening -- and seriously I was worried about not just my stabilty but my safety -- even though I was on bike lanes on the most travelled roads, I felt like at any time I might just wobble out into the car lane and wham! Well, I did make it back, totally worn out, rested for a half hour or so and now am feeling a bit more functional. And now you can all laugh at me..go ahead, laugh out loud, yeah, go ahead. And just wait... hehe great story, keep it up, it will only get easier...will overall easier except for you bum KC - The Circle of PoTN - Member of the UCPC

It's out in the garage, but I'll have to move a bunch of stuff to get to it ------ if it's still there. I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!
