  1. Not sure how to interpret your reply. First blush is that you are saying that CL is giving preference to Boquete Medical Associates. If such preference is what you are trying to say, then you are incorrect. CL is NOT a sponsored website; there is no favoritism given to anyone. If you check it out, the healthcare resource listing is as comprehensive and unbiased as possible, and there are no recommendations given therein as to which service provider to use. It is simply a resource listing for our community to use, or not use, as they desire. Marcelyn's reply above comes from the fact that Doug and Jo (CL's healthcare information coordinators) have been doing an exhaustive review and update of the information contained in the healthcare resource listing. We (collectively referring to Doug, Jo, and the two CL owners/administrators) were just about to release an announcement about the first major revision of that resource listing. Only four people know of that pending announcement. But then with the announcement made by Keep It Simple and Boquete Medical Associates at yesterday's Tuesday Talks at the BCP Theater (a surprise to us), we are delaying our pending announcement to be sure that Doug and Jo have sufficient time to modify the resource listing based on the new information released to the public yesterday. That is not a preference for anyone, but simply prudent operating policy on our part. The healthcare resource listing should be as accurate and complete as possible, and absent any bias -- that is our goal.
  2. Thank you. We do make an outreach to everyone announcing events via News Boquete, and others that we learn of. Not perfect but getting better with time.
  3. Part of the reason for missed information may be that three separate topics had been created here on CL about the same subject. In order to consolidate all of the history about the relocation of Boquete's recycling center we have merged those three topics into one. [This is the first time that we have merged content into a topic here in the News.Boquete email archive forum. It just seems like the most appropriate thing to do.] We agree with Bonnie's last sentence, and hope that this single topic might help further the goal of getting more people to recycle.

  5. When this topic was started last May, I had no idea that it would end up with this much traffic, or so many viewings (currently over 2,500). Wow!!! Alison, you now have very well known eyebrow pencils! Congratulations. Maybe you could put them on display and charge admission.
  6. Numerous additional earthquakes are occurring in Mexico. Just this morning we were informed that a "fairly major amount of damage from a 6.2 earthquake on the west coast (and shallow depth)" has occurred. In researching the Internet, we see that there have been many. This is probably a regular and naturally occurring sequence of quakes, but given the recent major earthquake and resulting death/damage, we thought we would just post a follow up. Here is one link to such reports: https://www.google.ca/search?client=firefox-b&dcr=0&q=earthquakes+in+mexico&spell=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiWouyNh7zWAhUO52MKHWKZBDcQvwUIIygA&biw=1680&bih=872
  7. Here is the link that you refer to: If this new location actually comes to fruition, then these topics will be merged.

  10. This is another in a series of audio podcasts by Chiriqui.Life. The subject of this podcast is an organization rather than an individual, specifically the Boquete Community Playhouse (BCP). The underlying reason for this podcast is to provide an opportunity for three of the recently elected BCP officials to share their vision for what they want to achieve, and secondly to let the community know what they can do to help the BCP bring its vision to fruition. This podcast includes Phil Bennett (BCP President), Penny Barrett (BCP Vice President), and Jan Thompson (BCP Membership Chairperson). The triggering incident behind this podcast was an email by Phil Bennett that was distributed via News.Boquete. That email was about the closing of the Fénix Café at BCP at the end of September 2017. It seemed appropriate to provide BCP with an opportunity to elaborate on the bigger picture about the future of BCP through the eyes of the recently elected council members. Here is a link to Phil's triggering email: http://www.chiriqui.life/topic/7108-a-letter-to-the-community-from-bcp/. We learned several things as we produced this podcast. One interesting change is that BCP has previously been known as Boquete Community Players, but there is strong support for recasting the name to better reflect the scope of the activities that BCP undertakes. BCP is now to be known as the Boquete Community Playhouse. Going further, the bottom line for how the community can help remains that of volunteering -- be it as a stagehand, doing carpentry and set building, offering ideas for plays and performances and theater use ideas, being an artistic director, staging of musicals, etc. Volunteering does not mean that you are committing to full time involvement, but rather offering your support, and then following through. And finally, it is clear that the BCP management really wishes to become more multicultural in its activities and in audience participation.

  11. Thanks, Roger. I'll modify the title of this topic for a bit more precision. Just a bit curious how you have access to her cédula?
  12. This is the "second segment" of Elba's podcast. The original recording session resulted in about two hours of raw audio, from which these now two segments have been extracted. To listen to this second segment of Elba's podcast, click below on the white, right-pointing triangle (arrow) on top of an orange circular background. If you see two options below, we recommend using the "Listen in browser" option as opposed to the "Play on SoundCloud" option. This second segment of Elba's podcast is 27m 58s duration, and covers the period from 1915 to more contemporary times. Again, note that the content in this second segment of Elba's podcast consists of her recollections; there may be historical inaccuracies. But regardless, it is still interesting information.
  13. Ah-ha. Keith has the answer. It was a Facebook posting that had a picture.
  14. I am talking about looking at the original email as received, processed, distributed, and then archived by News.Boquete. There was no picture associated with that email.
  15. Sorry to have to inform you of this, but there was no picture associated with the email that was distributed via News.Boquete. I went back to the original source email archives that are stored by News.Boquete, and there was no picture as part of that email and thus none associated with the positing done here on CL. Perhaps you are recalling a posting done on August 30th about a dog and that did include a picture. That was a brown dog and does appear to be an adult.
  16. Be advised that we have received numerous complaints about this posting. The complaints are because no picture was provided, meaning no one knows what the missing puppy looks like. Not even a verbal description. We have tried to find that missing picture, including searching all the way back to the original email that was received; the originator simply provided no more information, and no picture. Please do not complain any more. There is nothing that we can do about this unfortunate situation.
  17. This is another in a series of audio podcasts by Michael Schwartz -- Chiriqui Life Stories. This podcast features Blaise Dismer: patient, teacher, licensed clinical social worker, blogger, singer, and comedian. Blaise confronted and has overcome a serious affliction known as agoraphobia. His professional life focused on helping others overcome their anxiety disorders. Blaise and his wife are living in Boquete on a six month "trial residency", both having recently retired. They are about halfway through their trial residency. He recently participated in the second Olde Timey Radio Show at the BCP Theater and Event Center; his skit included a comedy routine about agoraphobia.

  19. Radio Chiriqui has changed our broadcast time to 12:00 Noon on Friday, beginning August 25. We will NOT be broadcast at 10:00 am as in the past. This change is due to a series of bicycle races that Radio Chiriqui will be covering live for the next several weeks, in memorial to the founder of the station, Ramon Guerra. It's been a great deal of work by many people, to bring you the weekly show for the past 3 months. We didn't intend for the show to go on this long, but thanks to Linda Sherman, we were able to continue for a total of 14 weeks, through September 1. That day will be our last broadcast of the Listen Up! Expat Radio Hour. We all need a break. Mike Webber's Strange Brew Radio Show will continue at a time to be announced by Mike later. Both Listen Up! and Strange Brew past dates shows will continue to be available on our website, www.listenupboquete.com. We'll keep this site up for as long as possible into the future. So visit the website and enjoy all our past shows. Thanks to all of you who have listened, interviewed, contributed and helped with production. It's been a massive effort by many volunteers and we are eternally grateful. And thanks to all our restaurant sponsors whose commercials were broadcast, and for supporting Panama Red Rum. So Listen Up! at 12:00 noon on Friday August 25 and September 1 to hear our last two broadcasts. Thanks so much for listening. Penny --
  20. The BCP mail service needs to find a volunteer traveling to the U.S. this week (before next Monday) to take a small bag of mail and deposit into any mail box anywhere in the U.S. If you can do this or know someone who can, please email pjbarrett@aol.com --
  21. How God has healed me and others of Cáncer/Como Dios me ha sanado a mi y a otros de Cáncer. In October, 2006, one week after opening the orphanage, a tumor came up in my neck. This tumor resulted in being a high-grade, non-hodgkin lymphoma. I had surgery to remove this tumor, which was originally diagnosed an Anaplastic thyroid cáncer. En Octubre del 2006, una semana después de haber abierto la Casa Hogar, un tumor apareció en mi cuello. Este tumor resultó en ser un limfoma de alto grado non-hodgkin. Tuve una cirugía para remover este tumor, lo cual fue originalmente diagnosticado como un cáncer anaplásico de la tiroide. I went through chemotherapy from January to September, 2007, and due to the surgery had no voice during that time. While taking chemo, a lady at the hospital recommended I take an immune system building product. That product is called Transfer Factor Plus, made by 4Life. I began taking this product (10 pills daily) and did so for over a year. Afterwards I took 3 pills a day. During my chemo treatments I would only be sick for 24 hours and after that I would go back to my daily routine. I only missed church one time during my whole treatment and I even played in our softball league. I know that God is the one that healed me but I always wanted to know if the Lord just did a miracle or used the chemo, the Transfer Factor Plus or the other natural medicines I took. It would take almost 10 years for me to have an answer. Pasé por quimioterapia desde enero hasta septiembre del 2007 y debido a la cirugía no podía hablar. Mientras tomaba la quimeo, una dama en el hospital me recomendó que tomara un producto que fortalecía el sistema inmunológico. Este producto es llamado Transfer Factor Plus, hecho por la 4Life. Empezé a tomar este producto (10 pastillas diarias) por más de un año. Luego seguí tomando 3 pastillas diarias. Durante mi tratamiento de quimeo solo me enfermaba por 24 horas y luego volvía a mi rutina diaria. Solo falté a la iglesia una sola vez durante todo mi tratamiento y hasta jugué en nuestra liga de sofbol. Yo se que Dios es el que me sanó pero siempre quise saber si el Señor hizo simplemente un milagro o si utilizó la quimeo, el Transfer Factor Plus o las medicinas naturales que tomé. Tardaría 10 años el tener una respuesta. The couple in this picture have been in our church since 1998. He is today a Pastor even though he is legally blind. His wife is his "eyes." Silveria became very ill from February to May, 2016, when the doctors finally announced that she had a Stage 4, metastatic abdominal and lung cancer. She was hospitalized and they would only give her morphine for the pain. She was given no hope. I decided it was time to do more than just pray for her so we began purchasing the Transfer Factor Plus with the help of other churches here in Panama. We would sneak 15 pills a day into her hospital room and she would take them. Within 2 weeks a lump had built up on her side and finally broke open and out came puss and blood for the next 2 months. She eventually walked out of the hospital without ever taking any chemotherapy and the picture above was take just a few weeks ago. She is doing very well. I truly believe in this product and if you would like to try it, I am sure you will not be disappointed. 4Life not only produces Transfer Factor Plus, but they also produce products directed to assist in Cardiovascular problems, diabetes, kidney problems, hormonal dysfunctions, liver problems, Detoxification, weight loss and stabilizing your metabolism.

God bless you, Byron Willis La pareja en esta foto han estado en nuestra iglesia desde 1998. El hoy día es Pastor aunque es ciego. Su esposa es sus "ojos." Silveria se enfermó gravemente desde Febrero hasta mayo del 2016, cuando por fin los medicos nos informaron que ella tenía un cáncer metastasico en el abdomen y los pulmones y estaba en la etapa 4. Ella estaba hospitalizada y solo le daban morfina por el dolor. No le daban esperanza de nada. Yo decidí que era tiempo de hacer más que solo orar, así que empezamos a comprar el Transfer Facter Plus con la ayuda de otras iglesias aquí en Panamá. Metíamos a escondidas al hospital 15 pastillas cada día y ella los tomaba. Dentro de 2 semanas se fue recogiendo una masa en su costado lo cual rompió y empezó a salir pus y sangre por 2 meses. Ella salió caminando del hospital sin haber recibido quimioterapia y la foto arriba fue tomada hace solo unas semanas atras. Ella se encuentra muy bien. Realmente creo en este producto y si deseas probarlo estoy seguro que no te desepcionaría. 4Life no solo produce Transfer Factor Plus, sino también productos para ayudar en los cardiovascular, diabetes, riñones, disfunciones hormonales, desintoxicaciones, perdida de peso y estabilizar su metabolismo.
