I sort of like Ron's page.
Maybe I don't understand it but it seems randon and rambling. But kind of interesting.

Wierd now I can't get back in. I screwed up my facebook password and can't fix it. That's why I don't like facebook.

Did you ever travel to Venezuela? Some unfortunate things happened to some of my in-laws who had lived there.

Speaking from experience, don't get married until YOU REALLY WANT TO get married. Outside pressure is just that. Had I waited 1 year (as I had
wanted, initially) in 2001...
My wife tells me (and I have read) that Venezuela is outta control. Colombians are being deported, targeted - it's generally unsafe for them to
reside there at the moment. Hopefully, things will improve.

Is this topic about what is better to use for Baja information? Instagram, Facebook or this forum. Little confused.
Here's Doug's Facebook by the way

I much prefer the organized, by subject area, aspect of forums, to the (as you noticed) randomness of chronological posts on a site like FB or
Instagram. It's also so much easier to find info on forums.

Fish, thanks. That's what I've been waiting for: the lowdown on the life and times of the flying Lothario.
You are a sly devil employing the HUSBAND IN JAIL, WON'T SIGN THE DIVORCE PAPERS marriage loophole. Not many of us out here who even knew about that
particular backdoor trick. It's not even one of the 50 ways to leave your lover.

An improved photo uploading program would be great here (that almost every other site or app now has...)...maybe a "like" button too, lol. Otherwise
as stated above the organizational advantages for this forum type are much better.

I was invited to an old friends house for his birthday party last August. Long story short, he hid and blocked me after I put on some Colombian
CHAMPETA music videos at his party. I guess I have that effect on people..

I think this is what I was after. Some prefer it I think.

Not a Facebook or instagram member. Basically lost my connection to my friend Ron. But as a cranky old man, who does not own a smartphone, I do fine
with my internet and e-mail account.
Can anyone tell me why it is amazing to watch a movie on a frikkin' phone?

Same thing. I lost my connection to Ron. Fun to watch a short u tube video.
