What about Earth Quakes in Nica.

They happen and it is something that you should be prepared for but don't discount Nica just because of earthquakes. If you are building, make sure that you have an engineer configure the plans to meet or exceed US or Mexico City or Kobe, Japan earthquake standards. You also want to make sure that you use quality supplies and have a soil study (with core samples) done before you move any dirt. Doing that, while not cheap, will give you extra piece of mind. That is what we did. I call it sleep insurance.
If you are renting, try to rent a place that is newer and does not show any cracking. I would also ask the long time locals in the area. Some areas may not be as bad as other areas.

Other than that, focus on enjoying life in Nicaragua.

Did your mother have any children that lived?

At least I have a mother. You have shown what kind of upbringing you had. Poor child, so much anger and resentment. You should go into anger management sessions. That might help you deal with your situation.

majicjack, thank you. You have brought back fond memories of my chilhood, when we said stupid things like that in the playground and put a chip on the shoulder and challenged the other kid to knock it off. I just knocked off the chip.

wagsa. Aren't you the dude that's an attorney and every thing else under the sun? If so I must ask, do you ever work or is there no work and you have nothing better to do then monitor the site?
Also all this posting under the wrong topic titles are really confusing, it's difficult to tell who said what or what is in reference to what!

Terrimarie, thank you for the compliments, but I am not that dude. If you will notice, I only answer the posts after 6:00 p.m or before 8:00 a.m.
What does that tell you?

to insult others.

If you have any personal stuff to exchange, write personal mails to each other and do not steal the time and nerves of other forumers, please!

Thank you for respecting the general rules of a forum!
