Seeking...

[deepfish]

I am a 40+ year old american living part-time in Nicaragua for the past 5 years operating an arts and crafts export business. My Spanish is good (so say the locals). Along with a liberal arts bachiller's degree, I have experience in a mulititude of different things besides arts and crafts export to include:
U.S. Coast Guard Licenced Captain (6 pack) scuba charters
commercial fisherman (commercial spearfishing)
PADI Divemaster
Computer-aided drafting (AutoCAD)
Public speaking

Started out in Nicaragua at Casa Iguana on Little Corn back when Grant was running the place. And have been doing the arts and crafts export stuff since then. I am married to a Nicaraguan, we live in Masaya, I own a vehicle and land. AND I don't want to go back to the states or participate in the US scene any more. Seeking jobs, opportunites to keep me satisfied and in Nicaragua for the longterm.

If you have anything (intelligent) to offer or discuss please drop me a line at craftsnica@yahoo.com

Thanks,
Ed

Ummm Ed,

Kind of a bad start here buddy ...

With these degrees, you really should spell "bachelors" better than JPJW.

Also we try to save our really "intelligent" posts for this site.

Lastly, what did you do for Casa Iguana when Grant was there? I seem to remember a handyman there named Ed... was that you?

The Best thing to do in Nicaragua is work for yourself, people who have gone back and expatriots most of them have their own businesses

[Just Plain John Wayne]

Well said El G.....

[Jonh]

Tom, give him a break, that was the Nica spelling.

[Just Plain John Wayne]

Hey I don't mind LCT pickin' on ma spellin'

I larned it from him.....

We went to school togedder, and he tought me my first cuss word....

taught me how to spel $hit.......

I didn't believe him at first, so then we looked it up in the dictionary when the teacher won't lookin'.....

He wuz rite.....

[FisherCigarman]

LCT giving someone a break? $hit,he won't even give iguanas a break

.... That was a good one....

[Little Corn Tom]

I ain't the House SOB for nothin ya know.

By the way my neighor stopped by this am and bragged about how he killed 2 ... count 'em 2, 3 foot iguanas on his property.

Buncha rednecks in South Florida I guess....

[Just Plain John Wayne]

They taste like Chicken.......

But getting back on topic, I know it hurts guy's but we do have to be a bit helpful to our new Members.....

Look Deepfish....I am a man of the sea as well, and my advise to you having all that education and experiance.......

In a place like this and you are young yet......

FIND A NEED AND FILL IT.......

[FisherCigarman]

I went fishing today on my little bass boat I have here in Florida and I must have counted over 30 hugeeee iguanas, about 4 of them were a good 5+ feet , they looked like baby Godzillas .
This was close to Del Ray LCT .

I wish more folks ate them here in Florida,they have really become a nuisance,they seem to be every freaking where there is water .

Hey we used to have a saying in the south....

Eat Mo Possum.....

We just goin' to have to change that I guess.....

If they are such a bother, and even one would be a bother to LCT, if it $hits in his swimmin pool........

Even first offenders.......

Perhaps the wildlife service should classify them as varmits and put a year round hunting season, no bag limits....

I know 'em Florida redneks..... Some of 'em basturds will kill just for the pure sweet hell of it......

Then Alleman would present a problem?

[Just Plain John Wayne]

Oh Lord, I forgot about Alleman, he got off on that too.....

And a few whores as well...

[Jonh]

I doubt Tom would object to whores in his pool.

[Little Corn Tom]

Isn't that why God made pools?

[deepfish]

yea, I was in a hurry and didn't seem to find a spell check within all the other bells and whistles on the site,

What didn't a person do when they were a slave, I mean an employee of Grant's? manager, handyman, boat captain, waiter...

thank you to those with productive comments...

[Jonh]

thank you to those with productive comments...

...and to the rest of us?

Yeah, Grant did not make too many friends and had quite a lot of turnover.

Are you the guy who had a ton of tools shipped down to Granada? And bought some property there?

I imagine you all will go back to sucking down your rogaine-prozac-viagra-flor de cana cocktails in a bar full of "ex-pats" that are sitting around bitching about how the local's English is so bad while simultaneously convincing yourself how guapo you are in the eyes of the 17 yr old campesina that just stumbled though the door?

Yeah, pretty much.
