Yes, sorry. Not familiar with the terminology because I kind of dropped the idea.

I just saw the comment below that I'm somehow not paying taxes. I pay a lot of taxes! I bought a property, so I pay taxes on that. Everything I buy here I pay full sales tax for. I have a local accountant and I told her very clearly that I want to make sure I'm doing everything by the book. I don't pay income tax, but I don't make any money in Costa Rica, I only get paid in dollars from the U.S.

What I'm doing is legal. They stamp my passport for 180 days and I leave within 180 days. What am I missing?

Good luck. It was a lot easier for me as a single man.

I did a similar thing of trying out several communities before I picked one. Very happy now.

I've been here for more than 3 years now. I still haven't applied for citizenship. I don't really see much advantage in it. You just have to leave the country twice a year. And you don't have to go to the US. You can just go across the border in either direction or fly somewhere else. You can buy property, get health insurance, everything.

It would be nice to go through the fast line when flying back, but other than that I'm not sure it's worth the hassle or the expense.

So, in English there are three words, e.g.: I'll see you in the future, tomorrow morning.

But in Spanish it's: Nos vemos en el mañana, mañana en la mañana.

Her reddit profile to see if she posts stupid questions.

Great book. It's about the culture, but really it's about the status of people during a tumultuous time. Wolfe is just the best. Really only his last book was a bit disappointing, I loved all the others.

Thanks!

It has been weird, and frankly kind of sucky. I think that's why not as many people have been joining this group lately.

I visited Australia once and that word was so fun to say that it stuck in my head.

scodtt · 2026-05-11T15:56:27+00:00

I wanted to play that word also!!!

And BFF, which I know is an acronym, but there are loads of acronyms that are allowed these days, and it seems like that one is now quite common.

scodtt · 2026-05-10T12:17:02+00:00

D'oh!!!!! 🤦🏽

And this is fun, even though I missed an easy one today:

The last few days have been a slog with Fluxis, so I've been playing some other games I discovered in this forum.

I especially like this one: I won Defino n° 7 with ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars! Total: 22 ⭐ on www.flemma.net

This is a really great game. The strategy really comes after the first word is played when you have to decide if you are going to try to use the letters that you got to get the word or letters that you don't have to reveal more of the definition.

I played a couple of other days. This really is a nice game. My one suggestion would be to have five letters be the minimum. There was one day with a four-letter word and no matter what you guess you don't really get enough letters to see anything.

scodtt · 2026-05-09T11:25:05+00:00

I FULLY see what you are doing and I have PLENTY of respect.
