Discretionary Spend of Pesident Varella in 2016
JohnF13 replied to Moderator_02's topic in Miscellaneous Topics re Panama
Yes, one has to wonder about the new Kenny Seracin stadium vs. the poor condition of the schools in the area. Education es primero? Not from what I am seeing in the Potrerillos area -
I have to admit surprise at the number of people leaving. We have only been here 4 years but can't see us moving any time soon (except maybe to a different exotic location!). There must be "something" that causes people to come here then quickly become disenchanted, are there really a large number of people who buy the "it's a paradise here" or "God/my pastor told me to do it?" I know I read IL before coming here but I also did independent research. I wonder if some people are just lazy and accept the IL slant? Whatever it is, it is a tragedy for those that have to leave at a substantial monetary loss. I honestly believe that it is the "1 per centers" that wil thrive here, except in this case I mean those that not only have a well-developed sense of adventure but are also practical self starters. Back-to-the-landers would have been the 60's definition I suppose. Most of you try to emphasize the " come and try it" aproach, but it doesn't seem to get through to a fair percentage of folks. While being a big believer in personal responsability, I think the problems of the quick turn around people needs to be addressed somehow. I just don't know how.

You can get good pre-programmed ones on fleabay for around $160. When they arrive they are plug n play. -
Alto Al Crimen Medical Discount Plan Announcement
JohnF13 replied to NewsLady's topic in "News.Boquete" Archives
So now the elephant in the room. $80/yr for RD, $150 for AAC coverage plus donations. Seeing as I cant fly Emirates, I guess the first one is a better choice. -
He will be back in just over two years when the new government will forgive all his sins. Nothing changes.

Dan, what do you know about linux ubuntu? Got a laptop here running it but I dont know how to get it working the way I need to. Send me a pm at johnferguson1301 (at) gmail dot com. -
Just love the way some people talk. Sometimes, you get what you pay for....As for suggestions as to what other people should do with their money, well, that's just socialism at it's worst. Got an idea? Fine, put up YOUR money and try it.

Being a member of AAC and a yearly donor, I have to wonder why I didn't get this notice. Nothing has changed in my contact info, so it can't be that.....

With Brexit, I doubt very much if the UK will hold the EU presidency in 2017.

Grandfather clock servicing
JohnF13 replied to JohnF13's topic in Help Desk / Concierge Services (“I need ...”)
Thanks K and B. Would have to be a house call because of the size, but on the good side my near neighbour needs his looking at too. -
Anyone have a lead on who can clean, adjust and oil a grandfather clock?

Ambulances, Police escorts, Sinaproc, etc.
JohnF13 replied to Bonnie's topic in Water Cooler Topics, Rumor Central, Bochinche
I expect it is the same here as in North America. Antime the President is on the move every conceivable scenario is planned for, especially when in the hinterlands. The ambulance is likely stocked with any manner of things that might be needed as a result of an accident or some sort of protest. It is way more than we could expect.... -
