Looks like they moved to sayulita near puerto Vallarta.
Not a bad place (but don’t go north or south along cost to neghboring states, or inland  ) |
You been there lately? That place has been done for decades. Much better places in all directions. |
Definitely seen better days
We wandered up there last year for a day, thinking we might spend some extended time there.
"Been there-done that"
As usual, the Keyboard Cowboy has much to say and no personal basis for saying....

I am not sure where they are living but they are living the LIFE. Their kids are thriving and happiness reigns. Each of us has a different view on
what paradise is.

Wow, I went there with Tia Adriana's son, Greg (Goyo), back in 1988, I think it was. It was quite beautiful but I've heard the name "Sayulita" too
many times in recent years to think it hasn't been overwhelmed. Glad I had a chance to see it "back in the day."

I know the Adams family.I grew up with them in Cardiff. Adriana was part of the over development problem. Once a dirt pimp always (in whatever
country) a dirt pimp.
You were there when it was still nice. It really started changing in the mid ninetys and had a fork in it by the 21st century.

Yes, I remember they had some lots, Greg was building a place up on the hill above town. I do recall the small restaurants on the beach, the
"camarones diablo" was always a good choice. Went to some kind of rodeo as well and took a wild ride with some Mexicans through the jungle one night
to score some pot. The good old days. I had never been to a jungle area, and I recall the "strangler figs" that enveloped other trees fascinated me
at the time.
I lived just down San Elijo Avenue from the Adams place in Cardiff for many years.

Just trying to understand the meaning behind this phrase.
35 years ago I gave my accounting practice to my partner and began developing single family lots for new home construction.
We took any and all available properties that were in reasonable zoning areas and created opportunity for people to have a home.
So far my count is just short of 10,000 developed lots.
Does that make me a "dirt pimp?"
Anyone who lives in a house/condo/apartment etc. should thank the developer that went out on a limb with finances and time expended so they can have a
home.
Of course the moment they got theirs, then it was probably time to pull down the shades and shut off further home opportunities
Makes it pretty hard to explain to the next generations why someone safely tucked into a home does not think others are so entitled.

From a "bean counter" to a "dirt pimp?" Did you also work with "ambulance chasers?" Let's hope none of us ever get medical treatment by a "quack."
"Dirt pimp" is new (derogatory) terminology to me, too. You have got to admit there is some contemporary "street" attraction to it.

Only uneducated people refer to CPAs as "bean counters"
(California law says only those with CPA certificates can use the "accounting' description)
"Ambulance chaser" ???
Where did that come from? Were you drinking when you wrote this?
I also have a Calif RE Brokers license, a general contractor license, and HVAC license and a concrete contractor license
I taught full time at CSUStanislaus for 3 years in the Biz Dept
Mostly I am proud of the amazing housing projects that my partner and I have developed over the years. Happy homes for happy people.
Any more snide comments in your little satchel????

So did I understand the article correctly? There are special Doctors in pain management that write the prescriptions for opiate meds? Anyone had
success with this in the past? John H, thanks for cleaning things up, it's really appreciated.

SFandH, thanks, I did read it. I'm just wondering if anyone else has first hand experience with a specialist in Mexico? This subject seems to be hard
to find much information on and I have limited Spanish skills.

If your insurance does mail order, get an account at one of the mail forwarding services. You get an US address and they pick it up for you.
