Um, you might want to try doing what AZB did this morning, which is reading the post over slowly. No one's trying to insult anyone here... actually, it sounds as though DRgirlatheart has a very healthy sense of humor.

By all means post away. If you have something to share we'd love to hear it. There are only a couple of people who have nothing good to say about anything, you just learn to ignore them.

Welcome and don't be shy!

Sorry that you feel that way...Maybe he should have been straight up with you in the first place. But there is a phrase that I want you to remember that we say here in the U.S........"What ever happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas!"
Those long distant relationships seldom work out at all...
But good luck with your search anyway..

I'm sorry if you did not catch what I was refering to but it was from AZB when he was talking about the Fat foreigners who stay at resorts.I have seen this on dr1 before.For one thing I might add I am not fat but for people who are it does hurt their feelings and I feel it is totally rude. That is why I have never posted on dr1 before as I was scared of the ignorant comments made by people and I am a shy person to begin with.

We use a phrase similar to yours here when we go on vacation... "whatever happens in the dominican republic stays in the dominican republic!!!". So, why on God's earth do we come back "in lust". We just say that phrase so that people who were vacationing with us don't tell anyone if we've fooled around or sanky pankied a little. Ha ha!

Just a thought, sankies must be very very busy today calling all their novias por el dia del amor.

Happy Valentine's day to all!!

Are you saying there are no fat foreigners at the DR resorts?

do we need to put in a disclaimer every time a post is made like, not all foreigners are fat, not all sankie lovers are bimbos, not all people posting stupid remarks are serious.

was he talking about you? no? then why take it so personally?

we have 30 other forums on DR1 try getting out of here and read some real posts.

I'm glad that some people detected that my tongue was firmly planted in my cheek when I wrote my posting. To answer a few questions, though...

Yes, I am overweight. Yes, it does hurt me when people make comments. However, when I make comments about myself, well, I am just beating everyone else to it. Please don't anyone think that I am putting down anyone with a weight problem. Lord knows, I live with one myself.

Yes, I was very flattered by the attention of the young bartender when I was down in DR. Did I do anything about it? No. Did I enjoy it? Absolutely! Do I wish that he was making a habit of calling me and asking for money every week or month, as some posters have experienced? Absolutely not! I have enough complications in my life and enough ways to make my hard-earned cash disappear as it is - I don't need another one. Besides, I wouldn't want VISA, the landlord, the gas company, Bell Canada, etc. to get jealous. :-)

Will I go back to the DR? Absolutely! I am planning on being there again in another 2 months or so. Will I flirt? Every chance I get! Will it go any further than that? Not a chance! I have over 10 years invested in a marriage - I'm not going to throw it out the window for a vacation fling.

In the meantime, I am very glad if I managed to brighten anyone's day with my little bit of wit (some would say VERY little!)

or put a smile on anyone's face.

Have a good one, folks, and Happy Valentine's Day!!
