"Deb" started this thread (her first post) on Wannabe Expats
Posted on: 06/10/2008 09:35 AM
I searched the bulletin board for other posts from Viviana. There had been posts in three topics (including this one) but her posts in other two have been deleted. They were originally in the "22 year old thinking of moving to Argentina" thread started by JJ and in the "Who has something great to say!" thread and were just another version of her self promotion. Fortunately, they were saved in "quotations" in the replies, so they are still there for all to see. Only Viviana and the forum moderator have the power to delete her posts, and I can't see a reason the moderator would have done so. Hopefully, he'll tell us if he did. I quoted "Deb's" post here, before it could also disappear.So what am I getting at? Well, if you re-read "Deb's" original post, perhaps you will find it as unbelievable as I do. What kind of mother would even think of taking two teenagers out of high school and away from their friends, family, and rights in the US, throwing away a career as an airline pilot, and move to Argentina?Why haven't we heard from Deb since? It is somewhat unusual for an individual to pose a question like hers and not follow up with additional questions or acknowledge the replies within a day or two.
Perhaps she is flying.
Perhaps she doesn't exist. Could her post actually have been created by someone who wanted to promote a business that would provide the answers ? Is there one author...or two?Has anyone ever seen Deb and Vivian together in Texas?

Soulskier asked if I was a private detective. I'm not, but, as I lay awake last night, thinking about this thread, I began to wonder... has anyone else noticed that Deb's post which started this thread was her first and was soon followed by Viviana's (also a new member) plug for her services and her assertions of the superiority of Mendoza to BA?"Deb" said:

After 4.5 years in Prague, C.R. and just coming up on a year in Valencia, Es, I'm reallying looking forward to moving to B.A. and the long, long, long, drive down there from S.F.Yep, that's the plan- in a VW Vanagon, should be leaving mid-January with two friends, who'll probably fly back to S.F. You know, I used to throw things, yes really! But when I got off of meat and most dairy, during my last year in Prague, I stopped. No more fork flinging? Maybe I'll have to go back to eating beef just to stay at pace with the city? Also, I do bite, playfully of course.
