You can subscribe to a post's comments by clicking the "Email" link next to "Subscribe to comments" on the post page.<br /><br />In order to subscribe to comments by email, you must be logged in to a Google Account. Please log in with the account using the email address at which you'd like to receive the comment emails. As soon as you're logged in, you'll be taken to a confirmation page where you can click "Subscribe" to opt in. On this page, you'll also have the option to use a different Google Account to receive comment emails.<br /><br />After you subscribe, you'll receive one email for every comment published on the post. For moderated comments, an email will be sent out only after the comment has been approved by the moderator."<br /><br />Now, here's the part that John was looking for - Unsubscribing:<br /><br />"You can unsubscribe from comments by email at any time; just click the unsubscribe link in the comment emails you receive.<br /><br />Or, alternatively, you can click the "Unsubscribe" link on the blog's comment page. Then, just as when you subscribed to comments by email, you'll be taken to a confirmation page where you can confirm your un-subscription."<br /><br />I hope this helps everyone. I learned something too.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />DaveDave Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038109966699072504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-5415565603915922982010-03-07T19:41:10.724-06:002010-03-07T19:41:10.724-06:00Hi John,

I'll try to find out ASAP and will post it here as soon as I do find out.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Dave<br /><br />Everyone,<br /><br />I don't want to give the impression that the noise occurs every night - it doesn't. Maybe one night a week, and of course, if there's a holiday.<br /><br />Usually, our nighttime serenade is crickets and tons of frogs, and of course, chorus' of dogs at times, just about what you'd expect in the bush (jungle).<br /><br />Anyway, Cheers,<br />DaveDave Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038109966699072504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-11450375453731345982010-03-05T20:45:34.552-06:002010-03-05T20:45:34.552-06:00Dave,

I'm sure if the bar ceased to exist the noise level would go back to the norm it was when you moved there.<br /><br />Personally, I look forward to being there and experiencing the noise and all the other things that are to be experienced.<br /><br />Hang in there.<br /><br />-B-<br /><br />Bob NoldashelUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13921302248369380623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-27727574732269159792010-03-05T10:23:08.326-06:002010-03-05T10:23:08.326-06:00Well,basics are basics.

Thanks for your opinion, but pardon ...Hi Anonymous,<br />Thanks for your opinion, but pardon me if I disagree. The locals I have talked to (a few, maybe six or so, in my scientific poll) don't like it one bit more than I do.<br />I wouldn't mind it if it's noisy till midnight or maybe on special occasions, but after 3:00 AM... give me a break.<br />And since it's my blog. I'll bitch all I want to, thank you very much.<br />Seriously, I do hope you enjoy some of my other postings - maybe one's where I'm not complaining so much.<br />Cheers,<br />Dave<br />PS - Maybe you noticed, the slant I tried to make wasn't so much my discomfort as that of tourists visiting Corozal and staying in some of the fine hotels and guesthouses we have here on the south end. If percentages are down as much as the BTB says they are, having disgruntled lodgers certainly is not going to help improve those figures.

I have lived in Belize for over 15 years. It is a way of life here. I am sure you heard the music before you decided to move here. Maybe you could buy all the beach bars and turn them into libraries? just a thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-11471102765812845962010-02-28T04:31:59.444-06:002010-02-28T04:31:59.444-06:00I disagree about it being accepted.

We think that it's important that also the locals (we don't mean expats and hoteliers)complain.<br /><br />Maybe they can found a public campaign.<br /><br />The noise problem seems to be all over the country - as we could experiance in Bullet Tree (Cayo).<br /><br />Best regards and future silent nights!orchishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05798950723946060814noreply@blogger.com
