ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

SKYPE - Are you have problems sending SMS•Texts?

Are you have problems sending Texts on SKYPE now?  It seems like Skype is now REQUIRING us to give them a cell number to Verify our Account - BUT - with the latest version of Skype (at least for Mac that I know of now) - it does NOT seem to work - at least not for me in Costa Rica and from what I'm reading - for many people in the U.S. also.

So I went onto -  community.skype.com/t5/English/ct-p/English  and asked around and found a SOLUTION!!!

Download the OLD Version 5.8 for Mac

I'd FIRST DELETE the current Skype on my computer AND the Alias that was on my Doc and I'd empty my Trash. 

Then I went to:  Mac.oldapps.com/skype.php?old_skype=1230?download  (a GREAT SITE to keep to get old apps - though note SOMETIMES when you do this, you MIGHT NOT be able to do all the tricks you want to do) and I DOWNLOAD IT.

Once you install it - open the "Preferences" (for ME it was under the "Skype" in the top left corner) and UN-check "Update Skype Automatically".

Remember to make an "Alias" of it to put in your Doc!

Hope this helps!!!
