Then I slowly starting purchasing things and finally realized that it was ok to buy whatever, that nothing was forcing me to stay in Mexico and if I wanted to go one day, all I had to do is sell my stuff. <br /><br />I started off with a bed and a t.v. because honestly that's all you really need. Do what you can and remember, people are always willing to buy your stuff should you need to sell it.My Wayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07057064339454854292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8490844038707628114.post-77974820743182663712009-04-28T22:18:00.000-05:002009-04-28T22:18:00.000-05:00Ah that Steve is a romantic guy advising you to go...Ah that Steve is a romantic guy advising you to go the heart route - that's what got you here in the first place - no? ;-)<br /><br />Get the furniture and live a little - even if you use your head to figure that out. ;-)<br /><br />Checkout bamboo furniture - inexpensive, light weight, nice and easy to resell if ever need be.Calypsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705486544074674388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8490844038707628114.post-12575112408136196422009-04-25T19:14:00.000-05:002009-04-25T19:14:00.000-05:00ah, arranging for puppy play dates.

I have looked at many places and the yards are usually tiny and rarely fenced. It certainly is idea. As for the furniture, a friend of mine has offered to take me to do some shopping and she knows of some super cheap places.<br /><br />Canexicana - you are absolutely right. I kind of got stuck in the stress of it all and lost perspective<br /><br />Steve - I hear you about listening to your heart. Life is far too short. Aboslutely - we must get the dogs together! It is a little difficult since I do not have a car (and dogs are not allowed on the bus) but maybe we could meet in La Manzanilla. I have friends that drive there for work (and I could snag a ride).New Beginningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298996072133419532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8490844038707628114.post-14331441462072889772009-04-25T16:35:00.000-05:002009-04-25T16:35:00.000-05:00Let your heart guide you.

You can start a website that would drive Dental Tourist to his practice, maybe set up the appointments and answer patient questions. Just a thought. Maybe work a deal with him that you buy furniture but take 1/2 the amount of the costs off the rent if he wants you to leave it.Chrissy y Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00401701589592600309noreply@blogger.com
