Dear Slicksport, I visited the DR in the early 90s with a national and lived with his family in two different places. The DR is like a 3rd world country in most areas. Your best bet would be to go with a government type job to an established medical center. I spent time in the capitol city. The people did not have electricity except when the government decided to turn it on for a few hours per day. Most water is obtained through wells. Children had to walk for miles to attend grade schools. The government section of the city had electricity most of the time(but not always.) the people in that small section of the city were a little better off than the rest. His relatives in that area had a more comfortable home than the others we stayed in. As a white person, I went to areas where they did not usually see white people and they were very shocked. The carker a person is the more they are prejudiced against. My friend and his siblings ranged from light-like Italian to light-skinned black. He had a very dark black friend who talked about being very prejudiced against by the nationals. The government is socialistic from what I understood. the river that went through the city, the main water supply, was charcoal gray.
In the rural area where we stayed the people were open and friendly. No running water or electricity. The small town we came through is some kind of tourist city. The tourist resort area is nice and expensive. The cost of living is much, much less than ours if you live like the people. Learn Spanish! Get your shots! There are not a lot of medical facilities there. Their salaries are low and most people live in poverty, unless they have an education-like lawyers and government workers. When I was there, there were soldiers carrying weapons openly on the streets-if you are prepared for that. Because of the poverty, there is a lot of medical problems and crime. My friend bribed a customs guy at the airport to get a 32" screen tv in for his mother. Voodoo is practiced there-if you are ready for that. Are you aware of some of the medical situations that you would be seeing? I got a wierd rash there and was able to buy some sauve at a local drug store with the help of my friends. Do not drink the water or use any ice! Catch the rain like they do! I got really sick from using ice in one pop. I almost passed out and could barely walk for two days. Thank God my friends mother is a naturalist healer! She gave me a tea made from grapefruit leaves with a large amount of salt in it. It cleared me up by the 2nd day. The country is lush. The people like baseball, as a few of the countrymen have broken out of poverty by going pro.
A sad story. I was visiting other relative's rural home, I saw about a 3 year old girl sitting in the nieghbors yard. I glanced at her at different points of the day, from going in and out of the house and their yard. And the outhouse was in between the two houses. After a 3 hour visit, I commented that the little girl was very quiet and sure had not moved around a lot. She had two older brothers who would go in and out of their house and yard. I had seen her in a few different spots during the day. But I had not seen anyone interact with her for more than a few minutes at a time. They all told me that she had been born with a spinal condition and would never walk. The family did not have the money to take her to a medical Dr. I met her and her family. She liked me a lot. She doesn't talk. She sits in a woven chair that has a whole in the middle for when she goes to the bathroom. It was deplorable. I almost threw up at the idea of her existence. But instead, I spent a few minutes with everyone interacting with her. Something I always wonder about is if she is alive and what her quality of life is, if it ever improved? What would be done with a girl like that after her mother died? I can only imagine what possible abuse might occur.
I visited the local rural school and spoke with two of the classes. There were no maps and only a few things on the walls. They did have some books and there were doors to lock to keep thieves out. Most people still do not get to go to school. I knew and have seen people live in worse conditions, but it is still heart-wrenching to see it. The zoo is interesting, on open model, to see.
That is my overview. I hope that I gave you some insight and some info to consider. I would really check out the situation that you are going to and have a job before you go there. I enjoy latin people and their cultures. It's best to be prepared before you go. Medical people are desperately needed and you could make an impact if that's what you want. If you want to breeze by, pick somewhere else. Most of the 3rd world countries I have been in, there is not running water or electricity even at the hospitals. The emergency rooms usually have plastic over them or are just open to the outdoors, where other people are. Mexico just had plastic. Liberia, Africa the door was open. Russia, they had facilities but no equipment or medicine to give out in their communist way. Most of these countries still wash out plastic tubing used to run blood and medicines-just for an idea.
I do not want to discourage you in any way, just reporting honestly. I am wondering why you would want to go there? Look it up on the web.

Or father of the church.
I was thinking if they could spice up the way the church is, like have more fun.
I dont mean to disrespect the house of god or anything, its just a suggestion.
We could have barbques and clap our hands when we're at church and sing and throw church festivies.

At my church, its qeuit and nobody really does anything but just sit there and its kinda boring.
I know i have to love God and go to church for him but its just a suggestion.

I've been married for 6 years, and everything has been great. He's been stressed lately about work, and so have I. We have demanding careers (he's an attorney, I am a marketing executive) I want to move to a bigger house, and start thinking about starting a family. he likes our house and thinks that we should wait. He was also just passed up on a promotion that really should've gone to him. Well we had an argument, and I said something he didn't like, and he slapped me. I did hit him back, but we have never had an argument like that before. This happened about 5 days ago. He's apologized repeatedly, and he even bought me a gift. But the incident raised a red flag. I love him dearly, but I will be damned if I become a victim. I just don't know what to do. My best friend said I should have a trial seperation, and consider a divorce, but I think that may be severe. I haven't told my family because I don't want my dad to beat the crap out of him. I am confused as to what to do,

our move cost us more than we anticipated and the storage facility would not give us one more day to pay them so we lost everything we are in need of all thing (bunk beds, dressers, washer dryer, all things) I have dropped my pride and am pleading for help. Also circumstances of unemployment played a role on this (AZ MVD error on my CDL) and I recently got my CDL reinstated.

I've always gravitated to the tomboy type. Independent and outdoorsy. The side effect is they are always vying for the upper hand, never want to be team players, are more selfish than any guy.

Now thinking back, the few girlie girls I dated hold the fondest memories. They were nice people, careing and supporive.

Should I give up looking for the independent and competent strong partner and opt for the more submissive and supportive girlie girl?

Hey. Ok, let's say you got mad at a guy you know and you were being a real b*tch to him for a good couple days. Don't you think they would have been like forget you? What does it mean when they WON'T stop trying to talk to you or get your attention when they know your mad at them, and your being really mean to them. Why would they keep trying? Could this mean anything?
