8th paragrah down. Please let us not start trashing this woman because of her beliefs. That would be the lowest of the low. Thanks. Quote: | Originally posted by nancyinpdx
Thanks again Shari. I can't afford taco carts, but could check for 2 used sewing machines. Lots of things are more expensive down there.
Yes, I've been scammed and taken advantage of, been robbed and the cops even extorted/stole 3500 dollars from me by planting 1/4 oz of meth & 3
used pipes on me! I was terrified outta my wits and very angry! Of course first i said, test my hair, urine, & blood but of course they wouln't
cuz they'd planned this set up; an enemy sic'd the dirty cops on me. They did a lot worse than that that day but it's too hard to talk about. It was
terrifying, humiliating, and traumatic.
But now, thank God, I have many friends down there to protect and help me and will never be alone there anymore.
Wow I could write a book bout mi vida loca I've gone thru.
i won't buy the couple anything expensive even tho they've protected me on numerous occasions cuz i honestly think they might sell it but I'll buy
food, household groceries and some nice makeup. She dyes my hair for me whenever I go down there and does other nice things.
I agree that the vacation is a fairytale cinderella fairygodmother kinda thing and it will make me happy to do it.
Ppl down there know I'm broke now. None of these friends have ever betrayed me and aren't greedy.
I think the water park is a great idea for the couple with a young daughter and for my older friend with the grandkids! We also have plans to go on
picnics, for me to show them how to make Asian food, for me to give Bible lessons to the kids (I was a sunday school teacher for 3.5 yrs), etc. The
grandma and young couple have both invited me to stay with them on my next visit and said I don't have to pay anything and they wanna spoil me, baby
me, and protect me. : ) Of course I would pay them something, though!

nancy girl, you are not alone...I have been in this country for 20 years and have had some very very nasty things done to me too...mainly because I
was vulnerable, naive and ignorant of my rights and how to handle myself in this country...but I learned thanks to caring people and am still
here...i'm a survivor and now understand the game better. What doesnt kill you makes you stronger! I am stronger and smarter now as well as more
compassionate. YOu will be a fantastic fairy comadre!

Thanks
Thanks Ckeifer.
I'm not preaching to anyone here so whoever is disgusted that I said one of the things my friend wants to do with me is for me to give Bible lessons
to her and her grandkids is weird. She wants me to teach her so she can give them to her nietos and other Christian neighborhood kids. She is a
Christian also. How is that worse than going on picnics, to the zoo, and water parks? I think it's stupid that so many ppl get mad when they hear
any Christian words when no one is trying to convert them or preach to them.
Thanks Shari. Your story is the same as mine and i agree with every word you said. I was too naive, innocent, and vulnerable when first in TJ too.
I've had tons of scary, dangerous, and bad things happen to me here and there but I'm still alive, so yes it does make us stronger and braver after
we've survived terrifying things. Crazy scary things have happened to me all my life so I am braver than most people, incuding most men.
