I won't eat there again, not only because they refuse to honor the pensionado discount but ALSO because of the difficult situation they put their staff in by requiring them to explain to a customer just why the owner refuses to abide by the law.  Tacky and very inconsiderate. The owner himself should be the only person to try and defend their ''policy''.

There are many other very good restaurants here now, and they ALL have found a way to follow the law. 

I saw the original play at Fundadores.  It is wonderful.  Regardless of who is in it, who produces it or who directs it, it won't be as good as the first production. 

It is a stupid shame that someone has the ultimate power to deny the rest of us the pleasure of seeing it and deciding for ourselves (we are adults..?) if we are offended.  I for one greatly resent someone (ANYONE) making that decision for me.

We can all rest assured that the results of the upcoming Presidential election here in the US will ensure that many American citizens will be migrating to Cuba.

I doubt that most hardcore Republicans could stand even the IDEA of moving to a ''communist'' country.  I would expect some new Panama residents, however.

Thank you for a documentary of one of Panama's ''pastimes''.  Who knew?  The diversity of the audience is very interesting.

Thank you so much, Betty.  Your information is valuable to many!

Ah, I think I know who you're referring to.  I will speak to her about the process and requirements.  Thank you, Bonnie.

Some months ago I heard a rumor that a cremation facility was going to open in David.  Does anyone know anything about it?  If there is no facility in David, does someone have experience in making arrangements for the one (or more) in Panama City?

Retrogusto, in spite of the law, refuses to honor the jubilado discount.

Bob G.       Stop using this awful red/maroon color or I will refuse to try and read anything you post.

I stopped reading anything Bob G posts, and it wasn't because of the BOLD RED Ariel font.  I suspect several others have done the same.

From AaC's website:

• ''We will communicate pertinent information to the Boquete community.
• Please be aware that we sometimes choose to not publish every detail about every crime, especially when an investigation is in progress.  However, we will make public any information when we believe it is necessary for the community to be informed and be aware of a dangerous or threatening situation.''

Apparently, since AaC's idea of ''pertinent'' does not include informing us of violent home invasions I'd be interested in what does qualify as ''pertinent.''

"....when we believe....'' seems to mean that the information the community needs and/or wants does not carry any influence.

Every public ''posting'' from AaC in the last several months has amounted to 1. Bashing of RodnyDirect and/or its administration, 2. Requests for money, 3. Insults to our intelligence regarding information AaC does not believe we are entitled to or can handle, or that they are obligated to provide.

I'd like to see AaC behave professionally, responsibly, with respect for the people of Boquete, and actually PROVIDE (timely) information about dangerous or threatening situations.  However, with it's history and current administration, I don't see that happening.  I foresee a future of continued grade-school level whining about RodnyDirect, a continuation of  no-replies to inquiries and requests, no information about criminal activity or danger, and no effort to earn the respect of the community.

Bars and other deterrents on my windows.

I ate there one time.  Ordered tacos.  I don't know what I got, but they weren't like any Mexican food I've ever had.  Or liked. Or wanted to eat again. 

I would LOVE me some authentic Tex Mex (or Santa Fe, NM)  food.

Ironically I am finding more useful information on ning lately than on CL. I just learned I could have gotten my passport photos at Mail Boxes Etc in Boquete without having to drive to Arrocha in David.  It seems 90% of the posts on CL lately are just re-posts of News Boquete announcements.  Doesn't everybody on here already subscribe to News Boquete?  I hope people start posting more.  There must be something going on out there.  We don't want Chiriqui Life to become Chiriqui Moribund.

Judy, I know you don't ''do'' Facebook, but there is a whole world of relevant information about life in Boquete, from crimes and vehicle accident reporting, to the frequent notices sent out by our Mayor, the National Police and various media in Panama.  I am the Admin for the Facebook page ''Boquete News'' which is FULL of information of Boquete News.

I hope people who don't ''do'' Facebook will reconsider and check it out.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/News.Boquete/

And ''Boquete News'' is not the only source of relevant information about Boquete.

You can make a child happy!

Hooray for Watch Lists!

Hi Bud & Marcelyn,

I assume you look at the IP addresses of people applying for new membership in CL.  There are several IP addresses in Western Africa (Namibia, Angola, Chad and, of course, Nigeria, as well as others) which should automatically be denied membership.  I used to have a list of those IP addresses (used to screen applicants to another site), but no longer.  IMO, there is no reason to give anyone from those locations the ''benefit of the doubt.''

Be assured, there is a growing number of people who are very interested and concerned about the influx of hustlers disguised as Christians.

Welcome Al (of Planet Telecom) to the honorable ranks of ''Banned From Ning''.  Good job!
