I remember on another board there was this girl who got a 600k pesos cellphone and it got robbed, and a new one, robbed again etc and everybody was all over me because how could I even suggest she was using the guy.

In the light of it: I also use to rent an apartment short-term in Santo Domingo. Oh, the things I saw! I am a very discreet person, anyone that knows me knows how paranoid I am about blabbermouths, so I have never shared a story on DR1, I still feel as if I have to protect my ex-customers. I would never share any of this with anyone, specially not in a public forum. In this case I will make an exception and tell you one that will curl your toes, after all my "customer-client privilege" have expired. You'll see why. I leased the apartment to a certain gentleman in his 60s. In previous conversations he seemed like a nice-enough person (not that I am a great judge of character or anything). He wanted to stay for 3 months, and so as was customary he paid all of this in advance. The day we met to hand over the keys, sign stuff and whatnot he shows off with a girl in her twenties. The girl in question, it was painfully obvious, did not speak any English, and to make matters worse the gentleman did not speak a word of Spanish. You can see where this is going... Seeing as they were very talkative, and I am good enough at listening, I soon learned that they had met over the internet, she had 3 young kids of her own, he was widowed, this was his first visit to the country, they had just actually met the day before and were now engaged. I will pause for a second so you have time to pick up your jaw from the floor. ... They were soon installed in the apartment and calling me at all times to help them communicate. I didn't mind much, really, I actually like dealing with customers (most of the time and most of the people). Soon I started helping out with other things, like calling taxies, making reservations, etc. I still didn't mind that. As I included cleaning service, she soon took the maid as confidant, who relied to me all that was going on. I soon started hearing the tales of her visiting relatives, and the things they said about the poor sap, er I mean Gentleman. He apparently suffered from ED, only much worse. The Young Lady's plan was to get pregnant and well, just secure her future. Things were not working as planned. They berated and insulted him while he still had no clue what was going on. My husband witnessed that a couple of times when he dropped by with clean towels and linen. One day I get a call at an odd hour from the Young Lady. She seemed very worried, freaked out even. The Gentleman had fallen ill and was now in a private clinic. He was getting worse by the minute and doctors could not find the cause. At this point she tells me that she called to tell me that she was leaving him. "This is too much trouble". So much for their 2.5 weeks engagement. I tried to talk her out of it, if she had made him think that they had a relationship she better stick around and see this through, it was the decent thing to do (after all he was drowning her in gifts and money), when he got better, if she still felt the same way she could break it off. She decided to heed my advice. As things progressively deteriorated the Gentleman had to be air-lifted to the US for treatment, leaving me with the Young Lady in the apartment. As the Gentleman, having been diagnosed with Leukemia, was incapacitated the Money Fountain suddenly drained, leaving her in an unenviable position. Suddenly I started hearing complains from the neighbors about noisy carnal activities going on in the apartment. The maid showed up for a scheduled visit to find the grieving Young Lady with a gentleman, wearing, well, very little. She remarked that he was her lawyer, and that he was advising her on her "inheritance rights" should her "fiancee" croak (I wonder if Fabio Guzman's lawyer offer that kind of service ). In light of this, and the fact that she commented she was moving her 3 kids to my apartment, I asked her to leave. I had no deals with her, and she was, at this point, almost an intruder. Seeing as this was an unfortunate occurrence I offered to return the remaining monies to the Gentleman, and should I receive written AND verbal confirmation from him, I would give her the money. Although not a fortune this was a small fortune to her, so she convinced him to do that. And she left and that was the end of the story... But it wasn't. A few weeks later she called me to relay the "good" news, she had talked him into postponing treatment to return and marry her. I congratulated her, from the bottom of my lying heart and got on with my live. I thought I had heard the end of the story, until a couple of weeks later. I got another call, this time she told me how she had planned a grand wedding at a fancy restaurant in Santo Domingo. She had carefully planned her wedding, again delaying him in returning to the US. The morning of the happy occasion came, and the Gentleman dropped dead hours before the wedding. She was informed by the American embassy that they would take over, that "almost married" was not a legal status and to get lost. For an impotent guy, he screwed her real good. http://www.dr1.com/forums/men-mars-women-venus/96420-broken-fairytale.html

I never go to Cosmocentro, don't know why. La 14 calima is CRAZY (But I don't think its a real mall)!!! Those are not my data they came froma magazine (poder if I remember correctly). Palmetto has a lot of people visiting but the least sales, cosmocentro has the highest sales. I find Palmetto boring, though it looks real tight. I like Jardin Plaza and Unicentro best.

Monita Linda comments on

Palmetto is quite boring and is one of the least selling malls, believe it or not, Cosmocentro sells the most. Homecenter is indeed a men's store and I dont understand why my husband loves it there...

It's called Tacos y Bar Bq. http://www.tacosybarbq.com/ The website has a picture, under mexicana, the "golden cheese" but when I saw it it didn't exactly look like it does on the picture. G'luck.!!!

Monita Linda comments on

Not sure, but IIRC TACO&BBQ or however it is spelled, has something, 5 thousand pesos gets you a ton of fries, nachos and cheese sauce.

Monita Linda comments on What on earth is happening in Cali?

While the Mio isn't perfect yet, it is a great step of Cali's desarrollo... I take it every day and by far most people love it and prefer it over small, hot and stinky, dangerous little busses that take forever.... True, it's network needs to get better etc etc... but this is a big step in the right direction..!!

Monita Linda comments on MY WIFE'S FAMILY

Bludeepblu, just tell them you lost your job and need money... let's see how helpful they are... Reminds me of something, I was recently in carrefour in jardin plaza, looking at some women's wear, up comes to me this guy (mind you, inside carrefour!!) carrying a package with some random blusa ASKING ME to pay for it (i THINK IT WAS IN THE 30-40K price range, of course the stuff poor people buy, NOT!!!), "because his wife........" I didn't let him finnish it just said no thanks, than he asks me WHY, and I just walked away and he kept asking why... A random looking guy.... like WTF..

Monita Linda comments on What on earth is happening in Cali?

PC lover, most people I know are VERY pleased with the MIO it's fast, AC'ed, relatively safe. I don't know what your problem is, but you're welcome to talk about it any time!
