I hope everyone is doing well. I haven't been on in quite a while. Life has been busy.
I am still married to my Colombiana. We had our 16th wedding anniversary this month and are still happily married. I would say that is the result of me choosing well and pure luck.
My wife is an awesome woman and she has an awesome family. I had to have open heart surgery one year ago and my inlaws did more for me than anyone else. One of her brothers flew up from Colombia to help look after me for about a month. He was a big help.
My wife went from speaking no English and not even being able to drive to now speaking English, earning her bachelor's degree in accounting and now has a job as a state examiner. She makes great money and we are quite confortable. Of course she learned to drive.....lol!
Just wanted to drop in and say hi to anyone who still posts here.

This site is dead. Seems bnobody is interested in this topic anymore.
Even on other Colombian sites, whenever the subject of Women or Romance comes up, espescially about meeting womne on-line. it quickly gets shut down, lack of interest, because eveyone knows the "game" or at least should.
The subject matter is Visas, Taxes, and how much of a pain it is living in Colombia with the new government, all the bureaucracy, inflation, cost of living, and how the other Latin Countries are not much better, with rising violence in Ecuador, political instability, but still better than living in the US, Europe, or espescially better than living in that third world sh1t hole that thinks itis first world, called Canada.

Congrats on the 16 years of marriage to your Colombiana wife, Researcher. Impressive to hear all that she accomplished over that time period.
Glad to hear you got through heart surgery ok. I'll be sure to think of that next time I complain about some "petty" little thing that adds up to nothing.
------------------
"Yeah, I just catch myself wondering, and waiting, and worrying
About some silly little thing that don't add up to nothing
And then she looks me in the eye, and says "We're gonna last forever and ever"
And you know I can't begin to doubt it
No, 'cause it just feels so good and so free and so right
I know we ain't never gonna change our minds about it."
Researcher:
Thanks Hector.

I agree. Times have changed as they always do. Things were beginning to change back when I was in to looking for a foreign woman. Things have changed in the US as well as internationally. There doesn't seem to be as much interest in retiring as an Expat also. I always thought I would end up retired in another country but now that may not happen, which is ok by me. I am just playing it by ear.
