June, one of our cows lost her calf this morning. She is part pardo swisso. Never been a milk cow and always been on herbicide free pasture. Has three working teats and probably produce a gallon a day. This would be an undertaking so the sale would have 30 day refund. $1200 with a small 12volt milking machine. 6637 9802

I took S.S. at 62. According to what I have read you automatically get enrolled in Medicare part B when you hit 65. This may not be so because I use a Panama address. I have not seen the $134.00 deduction and so I am going to enroll or check that I have been. You cannot get a S.S. online account with a foreign address. So the question is... Is there a better way to enroll or check than phoning the U.S. S.S. office #800 772 1213 or the Federal Benefits Unit, Costa Rica #506 2519 2228

Reinstatement of social security benefits
DRC replied to NewsLady's topic in "News.Boquete" Archives
I received my 7162 proof of life form yesterday at the Dolega post office. It was post marked July 4. The form was generated on June 1. I am posting this so people will start checking to avoid a hurry. The instructions are in Spanish and say I have 60 days from when I receive it to get it back to them in Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania. I intend to send it through the service offered at the Tues meeting. -
Best Way To Handle Banking Coming From US
DRC replied to John Henry's topic in Banking, Currency, Safety Deposit Boxes, etc.
This topic has some good replies. Thank you for starting it. Here are a couple ideas to buy a car. To bring in more than $10,000 you simply declare it and it could be other than cash. Withdraw $500.00 a day from multiple credit or debit cards. Give the dealer a personal check from a US bank and see if he takes it. Attempt to get a loan to expedite bank cooperation. Be aware you may want to buy locally so your car is registered in Dolega. -
Camote is the spanish term. IDIAP has a new variety that has improved resistance and nutrient level #C.90-17. I am hoping these are available at the local IDIAP. Got this info from Sept 15 issue of La Prensa. There are good and bad nematodes. They are microscopic. My personal experience is... I have grubs and my sweet potatoes are almost all affected but not penetrated so I harvest,remove bad sections, cook, bag, freeze. My organic efforts usually produce visually imperfect products. Hope this helps.

zipsim
DRC replied to DRC's topic in Communications: Mail Services, Print / Electronic Media, Internet, etc.
We used the Zipsims and they worked as stated. We bought services for 7 days and this is extendable. Set up is easy and we were assigned random numbers. Be aware they are disposable meaning you cannot reactivate later. The shipping and handling was a bit excessive $8 given the size. -
I have an idea for a Tuesday talk and would like to contact the coordinator. Would appreciate a name and number. Thank you in advance.

Purchasing a weed wacker in David
DRC replied to Siempre Soluciones's topic in Gardening, Landscaping, Agriculture
Bought mine 13 years ago in the US. It is the solid shift model. No problems and no parts other than 5 trimmer line heads. It did pay for itself. Panamanians have a saying " lo barrato sale carro" in other words buy cheap and you pay it the end. -

I have been looking for a method to have cell phone use for a one week trip to the US. I found Zipsim and this looks like the best option. Here is how it works. You buy one week or more of service that includes data. They send a sim card to a US address or if you have time have send it to Airboxes, MBE etc. Put the sim card in your unlocked smart phone and you get a number. The system is Tmobile. Anyone have experience with this? -
Soil testing can be done through IDIAP, MIDA and University of Chiriqui. It cost $20.00 and the results are comparable with US labs. They give amendment recommendations for your specific crops. University of Chiriqui, Just past the town of Chiriqui on the right will email the results and I think they do the work for IDIAP and MIDA. It will take a about two weeks long as you avoid the Christmas period.
