  1. We are now using our 1700 gallon plastic pool for bathing, toilet flushing, dish washing and floor cleaning . A few neighbors are using that pool water as well. Our 600 gallon tank is approaching empty. We've been using that tank water for cooking only. I believe this is now day 4 without water in Brisas. As it is we can probably last several more days. Good time to enjoy the river at Canjelones !
  2. Something about the stale beer and mouthwash reminds me of college........................and, I don't remember any mosquitoes.
  3. We've been here 9 years. Electric usage has been the same. Bill has always run between $17- 25.00 Until our bills started being delivered to the wrong houses and each of us paid our neighbors bill ( except ours ) ...we are never late on payment. The bill was stuck under the door...wasn't the wind. Now we all look at the name on the bill. I guess we're suck with the additional deposit.
  4. Well interesting. Last month the hard copies of the bills in our neighborhood got delivered to the wrong houses. So we paid the neighbor's bill , the neighbor paid his neighbor's bill...etc. none of us looked at the name on the bill itself. Ok so our bill payment was one month late because of that situation. Took us awhile to figure out what happened. So maybe that's it. On the high electric bill. We had an electrician re-wire our main fuse box. At the time we had that done the electrician told us that when it is off balance as ours was it can effect the amount of your bill ( I have not a clue on how that works). It's rare we have a bill over $25/month. We use ceiling fans continuously. Most of the time the computer is left on. TV is on most of the time. We do have an electric security system but I doubt that draws much. We do laundry once a week usually. One month we had a guest who was doing wash almost every other day and that almost doubled our electric bill.
  5. The charge: ajuste de Deposito de garantia ............................ $41.11 Our bills usually are around $20.00 a month and we pay on a regular basis...monthly. We have lived here now almost 9 years. Can somebody explain this charge?
  6. "Produce growers of the Chiriqui Highlands have decided to stop sending legumes to Panama City due to the fact the supermarkets continue to import products without governmental sanctions such as onions and potatoes and their crops and going to waste causing them huge monetary losses. They had threatened to close the road to the Highlands, but instead, they are stopping shipments of all legumes to the city until their situation is resolved."
  7. Interesting. Thanks Keith. If interruption of traffic is something that is actually against the law here...how can they be doing that right there where the police are?
  8. Today there were about 20 cars and trucks pulled off on the side of the road. Nobody in them. I assume they were ready to be towed off.
  9. A little bit of everything. They show a retiree park, a childrens' park , a restaurant , a functioning replica of the Panama Canal......day time activities and night time lights and fancy colored displays. Mighty fancy Bonnie. We'll probably both be dead and gone before it's completed.
  10. Mighty ambitious ! I thought there was a water shortage. For me?, I'd be happier with a juvenile detention and rehab facility.
  11. We had such a great turn out and as well a get together with the set up there my hunch is a repeat might be in the plan. Many folks had lunch at the picnic tables and got together out there. Cool breeze and a beer..great combo....! I had a chance to meet quite a few new folks and hug a few old friends I don't see often. All in all it worked out real well. Of course Rodny was center stage and great at explaining his services to those with questions. Personally I look forward to a repeat. Alison
  12. Great turn out ! I was happy to be there to give a little help and VERY pleased to meet so many folks who signed up for Rodny's service. It was a great afternoon ! Alison
  13. As of December 2013, CH2M Hill had approximately 26,000 employees and 2013 revenues totaled $5.88 billion.[3] The firm is employee-owned,[1] with an internal stock market that operates buy/sell events quarterly. CH2M Hill announced a global rebrand on 13 April 2015, adopting the nickname ch2m while retaining CH2M HILL Companies Ltd. as the firm's legal name.[4] I got this of of Wikipedia. Colorado company. Big company..
  14. The situation is hard to believe happened. Seems like there should have been oversight engineers watching . Engineers not affiliated with the company (s) with the contract.
  15. Helpful if they really know how to mix and pour cement better than the canal-expansion group did.
  16. O.T OK Keith...so why did they call Tonto tonto and why didn't anybody catch how demeaning that was. Tonto seemed to be the brains behind the brawn.
