When my dad died, my mom and I moved to the West Texas town of Odessa Texas. For a kid from a school with less than 100 students in all twelve grades, I moved into an 8th grade class with an equal number of students. Had my dad not passed away, I would probably have [...]

This was posted on one of the Yahoo groups by SGG and I think it is worth reemphasizing what she says. Everything she says here rings true. Some Internet Cafes are managed better than others, but most are lax in their use of updated Anti-virus and spyware programs.
The safest practice is to use your own [...]

This question comes up again and again. “Where should I chose to live in Panama?” Some will say that Panama City is too crowded. Some will say that Panama City is perfect because you can do and find anything you want.

I am taking time today to send my family in [...]

I came across the following post, in one of the Yahoo groups. The Yahoo groups are a source of good and bad information for me. Sometimes I find a person asking for information and I try to give it. Sometimes I find examples of selfishness and greed, but today, I found a very different kind [...]

There is a current thread running, in the Yahoo groups, saying that Copa is no longer giving discounts to gringos that are below the retirement age, even though they have the pensionado card. I am trying to find out if this is true or only a rumor. I have heard that the purchase requirements may [...]

Today on my daily journey on the Internet, I came upon this story. It put a lump in my throat and I thought it was worth reproducing here for you. I don’t know how many of you remember using some of the first phones. I remember it well. You cranked the phone to connected to [...]

I was glancing at the Chiriquí Chatter reader map this morning and saw that there were a couple of readers that live in Chula Vista, California.
