Just assume that whenever Chi Chi makes a comment there is a legion of trolls waiting to pounce.

Josh2U

I am concerned with this because I do a lot of what you describe. Last I heard and has been my experience Peru will not charge for anything under $200. If it is clearly under $200 it comes straight to my door. Sometimes and it has not happened for a while I will have to go to the office and claim th...

Josh2U

I think lack of action was predictable. With the abundance and easily accessible online translators why would this forum get much use. I think this forum is or will be useful, just won't see a lot of action. It will be useful for idioms and terms like endodsos y postergaciones de boletos. Had someon...

Josh2U

I find it refreshing whenever anyone has earth shaking news they provide a source with their interpretation.

Josh2U

The personality qualities Teamo describes, being different, individualistic, independent and even pigheaded are all the qualities of trail blazers and great leaders. Look at the Founding Fathers. How different would the world be had Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, Pain not acted independently and as ind...

Josh2U

People have also told him they like his style. I for one do not find his colorful style annoying. Where do you get this yelling business and why take such offense?

Josh2U

You honestly think American fast food is responsible for recent obesity and Peruvian parents are so stupid that a law needs to be past controlling what ads kids see and eventually banning what they want to eat?
Makes me think of another nanny state.

Josh2U

Phil Save all of the correspondence from the person. File a report with the police. The email will have an IP address that is why you should save all threats. The IP address can track down the person. A threat is a threat no matter how it is received and we need no more details than that. The police...

Good question, why they do not charge a reasonable fee for additional baggage. Have to hire more baggage handlers? More time to load the plane? Takes more time to check in? Who knows. Spirits goal is to offer the lowest fares and if having fewer baggage handlers, shorter time to load baggage and the...

Josh2U

Phil, The concern is space and weight. No matter the size of the plane, the more weight allowed on the plane the more fuel consumed. So to keep fares low they control how much baggage is checked. I just hope they never catch on that people like me have almost the equivalent of 2 extra bags carried o...

Josh2U

When dealing with employees I am concerned with only two thing is he producing or just taking up space. If he is producing I do not care if I ever see him. If he is not producing, can him. Computer programers are a dime a dozen.

Josh2U

You might want to check my neck of the woods. You can rent a raft and float down the river and do a little bow hunting and other things along the way, now that's country.

Josh2U

Well now you understand. I'm just a flea pickin country boy.

Josh2U

Ok thank you now we are getting somewhere. "Normalize doesn't mean normal or abnormal". I now understand where you are coming from. That is all you had to say. It sounds like you are uncomfortable with the way some post have been written, and want to force some sort of generic milk toast w...

Josh2U

As he puts it, "I shouldn't expect you to understand"

Josh2U

You deflected the question again. What is the big secret? You previously said " it wouldn't take very much to have the forum normalize post titles." That implies you find something abnormal about the the past post titles, just asking an obviously simple question.

Josh2U

No I guess not since you want to keep it a secret and refuse to answer direct questions in my attempts to try and understand what you consider a NORMAL POST TITLE.

Josh2U

Now the murk clears, you meant TEXT normalization not TITLE NORMALIZER.
Is that what you meant to say? Sounds like you want us to use text you find appropriate.

Josh2U

OK, sbaustin I will ask again.
Sbaustin.....What do you consider normal? What do you, sabaustin, consider abnormal? In regards to post titles, sbaustion.

Josh2U

In answer to your (sbaustin) edited out question "Answer to what?
Sorry sbaustin, there are others in the thread. I was directing at Pollo, looks like your post snuck in before mine.

Josh2U

What is the point in asking if you know the answer?

Josh2U

Thanks for clearing that up sbaustin. I think the confusion arose when Pollo took it upon himself to answer a question I directed at you. and since you did not correct him or refute him or take the time to answer my question, it appeared as if you agreed with his answer. http://www.expatperu.com/exp...

Josh2U

I have heard people that offend you in one way or another, putting them on your foe list solves everything.

Josh2U

Your links do not mention CAPITALS as applying to post titles. It is common in these forums to use CAPITALS in post titles. Moderators have used CAPITALS in post titles. Just a couple http://www.expatperu.com/expatforums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=12609#p72766 http://www.expatperu.com/expatforums/viewt...

Josh2U

Phil strikes me as someone who says he will take care of something in a few days, he will.
Says what he means means what he says.

Josh2U

CARNAC THE MAGNIFICENT LIVES!!!

Josh2U

Could you give us an example in what you consider normal and what you consider abnormal?

Josh2U

2 forms of ID. Some sort of address verification, water bill, etc. Pay by PayPal or credit card. They send an email when you have something. If you do not want it tell them to trash it, no harm no foul. If you are not sure they will open it and take pictures for $2.

Josh2U

If you do not want to impose on family members or friends, there are mail forwarding services, free. The one I use charges a fee only when they mail something out. That way your family is not inundated with packages stock piled while waiting to meet some fee weight ratio.

Josh2U

The post you reference has a couple of things going for it, as to it's forthright-ness, a name and phone number.

Josh2U

According to Alan the owner of this forum, he made a post at the top of this forum as "Guest". He put down some guide lines for this forum. Clearly a recent post was not in that spirit. It did not discuss, taxes, laws, loans, business trends, personal experiences in Peru, or relevant news ...

Josh2U

You missed some. The first 2 sentences of Americorps first post in this thread. "simply ignore most of chi chi`s advice, he makes things up without having any real first hand knowledge." AND "Further, he has expressed homophobic sentiments here before, so he is speaking with a biggote...

Josh2U

I think Chi Chi raised some valid questions that should and would like to see answered in the forum. A guy making a first time post. Claims to be a former ceo who just sold a business yesterday and today he is looking for a partner with a 10 to 20k buy in. A projection of 50k A MONTH. Tosses out som...

Josh2U

Glad that is cleared up. Be sure to let us know if you get any more emails.

WE are obnoxious? Been called that once or twice have you, richorozco

Josh2U

What is that ticket supposed to mean? Is there a census being held this Saturday?

Josh2U

If a secular is what you want and would be very nice, I would consider the US, there are many.

Josh2U

I had to have a document notarized concerning the company that forwards my mail. I had everything set up before I left the US put after a while in Peru they decided they needed another document signed and notarized. I took the English doc to the first notary I could find here in Peru notarized it an...

Josh2U

What do you mean by have no accent? I might say an Englishman has an accent and he will say I have an American accent. But what kind of American accent? I have a southern accent and I know a Yankee up north from Boston and I can not understand half the words out of his mouth. My friend says I have a...

Josh2U

What qualifies you for that $4.99 fee? I find Phils rate to be the norm. Is it an introductory rate?

Josh2U

I understand, completely.

Josh2U

You want some pickles with that? The last time I heard someone crave something like that after midnight, she was pregnant.

Josh2U

It means "sign the ticket over to another person"

Lemons are the size of a medium apple and yellow. A lime is about a quarter the size if a lemon and green.

Josh2U

Crystal ball needs batteries.
Is there a question omitted from the previous post?

Josh2U

Sorry, I did not realize your post was directed at me or whose leg you were pulling, you did not say. Yes I look to the left and see the posters name. Weather the question was in jest or not went over my head especially when you consider the thread it came from was locked. For all I knew it was your...

Josh2U

Really? Vultures? Beautiful creatures. Are they that widespread? Love to grab some photos. Assuming you are referring to urban areas, where might I go to witness these majestic creatures?

Josh2U

Here is the translation for your first one, Democratic rates, http://www.expatperu.com/expatforums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=22053#p115150 It is more an English idiom. You might have to explain it to the Peruvian. Idioms sometimes do not translate exactly from from one language to another. What is it...

Josh2U

Silly me. I come to a translations forum and see a couple of words with question marks after them. I translate and offer a source. Turns out, one of them (yours according to you) was there for some other purpose. And what might that purpose be, exactly? An error? Well, why did you not make that clea...

Josh2U

I might buy that argument if this sub forum was for people with English as a first language wanting to translate English to Spanish. But it is not. Many will come here, knowing that most speak English here. They want a Spanish word translated but guess what. That word they want translated is from th...
