I cried for the entire day and then some. I still cant get back to feeling normal and feel very tired since the trip and this happened, is anyone else feeling like this? I sure hope it will soon go away so I can have my energy back and not feel like I just want to sleep.

Simple and more clear. I was illustrating this point about ONLY while teaching conversational ESL last week.

It is a problem and I agree..never meant to offend .

And i give thanks for the wonderful way Costa Rica has enacted, educated builders and homeowners on safe construction, and enforced the building codes, without which i am certain there would have been considerably more loss of life.
