Interesting thread, but Loretohousitter, could you please stop shouting? My guess is that you don't know that all caps is considered shouting, or you
wouldn't do it.
And...you're wrong about sweeping your own house. Follow that one to the next step...does that mean you can't barbeque your own dinner...or catch
your own fish????

One question, loretohousesitter, Do you have the proper endorsements to your FM3 or 2 to allow you to work in Mexico? If so, what specifically do
they allow you to do? Even a supervisor is required to have a work permit unless it's one's own property.

Generally speaking the "rules" are known by those who spend time on the internet, and it is called shouting when someone uses only caps...so, you are
shouting to others. I don't make up the rules. It is harder for others to read when it is all caps...I made the assumption that you just weren't
aware of generally accepted e-mail protocol...if I figured you just did it for your own convenience I wouldn't have mentioned it.

Optometrists. They want you to strain your eyes on little, teeny print.

Is that a 1st? Not sure I've ever seen that term used in reference to Dennis or DENNIS.
A few other descriptive terms, but 'shapely'?
I think the world is run by C- students.

loretohousesitter, where did I say you "just lounge around & do nothing to 'earn your keep' "??? If I thought
that, you'd have read the actual words "you probably just sit around all day eating bon-bons & watching soaps." What I said is that "you're
attempting to maximize your responsibilities, while minimizing the non-monetary benefits you reap in your situation."
If you can't/don't/won't understand those words, feel free to ask for clarification.
You've gotten mis-information. It IS legal for a gringo holding an FM3 (or equivalent resident document) to do work on their own property (even if
that particular skill-set is available locally), it is illegal for them to go to someone else's house & do work for or with the owner. If you
"know someone who was turned in for sweeping their own patio", I'd be willing to bet that you didn't get the WHOLE STORY! Or the TRUTH of why they
were "turned in" when all was said & done. La Paz Immigration has jurisdiction over Loreto & those guys aren't dummies! If someone walked in
& attempted to register a complaint against someone for "sweeping their own patio" they'd get laughed right out the door! It's more likely that
your friend/acquaintance was turned in for something they chose not to share & came up with a bogus "reason" for having been turned in. Like
maybe he was on his own patio sweeping up the residue of last night's coke party...or any other illegal activity, which Immigration WOULD take as a
serious infraction...but sweeping his own patio ain't the truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth!
If you read Nena's post & came away believing that she just stays in the house & does nothing towards maintenance or upkeep, you need to go
back & read it again. Nena said she DOES maintain the premises as if they were her own & DOES take care of the house & does do light
gardening & takes care of pets....she just doesn't do windows! So she's not sitting around eating bon-bons & watching soaps all day either!
Plus she pays her own airfare!!
In closing, I'm certain you work your burro off all day every day for all the cash & cost-avoidance benefits you
receive, and I'm certain you employer sincerely appreciates it; they MUST since you're getting a 50% salary increase in June.
And for the record....I'm a she, not a he!

Something about the tone of loretohousesitter's posts seems familiar. Don't suppose he's related to our friend gnukid?

If you can QUOTE where I said you you sit around & eat bon-bons & watch TV all day, in a rational, honest & logical manner, I might post
to this thread again. What I said was IF I THOUGHT THAT (yes, I'm YELLING!) was how you spent your time, then
that's what I WOULD HAVE SAID in my first post.
If the "know it all comment" was in response to my comments about the person you know who was "turned in for sweeping their own patio", then you must
have missed several other posts which either said or implied what I said...granted without my hypothetical possibility for a situation where
Immigration would pursue a report of someone sweeping their own patio...but it has been stated several times! You're going to choose what you want to
believe, just as you choose to read what you want to see as opposed to the words which actually appear on your monitor!
I'm going to go talk with the wall now!

Ahhh... maybe he/she is just a little put out by all this laboring. Surprised he/she can find time for the computer.
Old Gnukid didn't get his dander up this easy.
This one is a great addition to the board.
