"Timeshare" is the most salsa of flags...

Mostly, even buying one, but additionally, doing the beach bum routine and stiffing her on the bill. This ought to go well... And the 1-800 get you out of your timeshare guy probably isn't going to be able to help them.

It's Essential! Are you picking up Nick Heyward's latest compilation?

From the linked article

>The Essential Nick Heyward, a new compilation covering Heyward’s solo and Haircut One Hundred material will be released in November.

>It will be the first Heyward and Haircut One Hundred compilation since 2009’s 2CD Favourite Songs: The Best Of and the first covering Heyward’s entire career to be released on vinyl (green coloured). This set differs from previous comps by leaning more heavily on Heyward solo material, featuring songs right up to 2017’s Woodland Echoes.

We love hearing from Nick--will you be copping this album?

Is $1,000–$2,000 still the Sweet Spot for rentals in the City in 2026?

If you're moving from North America or Europe with a rent budget of $1,000-$2,000 USD/B a month, you might expect plenty of choices. That's not a tiny budget for here. But does it get you a place you actually want to live in, at a price that feels fair?

I keep hearing two stories that seem to clash from newly arrived folks, and folks changing apartments. On one hand, more people are moving to Panama City, which may mean more renters looking for the same well-priced apartments. On the other hand, walk past some buildings at night and you may wonder how many apartments are really occupied. If the city has so many empty-looking units, why can finding the right rental still feel tough, and why are people paying increased prices?

[Granted: "empty" doesn't always mean "available".] Some owners may not want to rent long-term (returning, job issues, etc.). Some places may be listed above what renters are willing to pay. Some properties are merely places to park money and speculate for the future. And some apartments may sit on the market because the photos look better than the space does in person. But how much of that is true in 2026, and how much is just a "feeling" you get while searching?

I'd love to hear from people who are looking now or who recently signed a lease. Are you seeing more competition from newcomers? Are landlords firm on price, or is there still room to negotiate? Do you find that a higher asking rent means a better apartment, or just a higher asking rent?

What has your search been like, and what would you tell someone before they start?

Are you "Fonda" Panamanian Street Food Places?

I'll show myself out. :)

As an expat, how frequently do you dine at the streetside "mom 'n pop" Panamanian eateries/cafeterias called Fondas?

What are your favorite ones to visit?

Are they "upscale" or "regular working person" places?

What are your favorite dishes, or ones you'd recommend to a first-time fonda visitor?

Please let it be for the Plot...otherwise, Mido is a sadistic ass...

Re-watching this Tell All, I couldn't help but notice what appeared to be real pain from Debbie--it didn't look like a put-on, but who knows?

But the happy smile that was coming from Mido during the watching of the "proposal joke" scene? Good gravy...pure enjoyment from someone's pain and disappointment.

Has your "conspicuous consumption" increased or decreased since moving to Panama?

Those of us from the North have a habit of solving a lot of problems with buying stuff. Or we have a drive to "Keep Up With The Jones'", and buy stuff for status. Or, it could be as simple as being used to convenience and luxury, and hitting up Amazon multiple times a week.

How has your consumption been since being in country?

Do you still order as much to your door, or shop for things (exclude normal staples, like regular clothes, food, medicine, and needed household items), the same amount, or less than you did before you moved?

What is the hardest "conspicuous consumption" good for you to give up, or that you're struggling with (mine is coffee and coffee-related things like accessories for an espresso machine)?

Let's hear it.

>Conspicuous Consumption: Conspicuous consumption is the practice of buying and using luxury goods and services publicly to display wealth and social status rather than to meet practical needs

Can we just declare Ross Host of All The Things, and live our lives?

Asking relevant questions, digging a little deeper, and inserting relevant commentary beyond "looks like we're not going to solve this tonight".

The guests seemed adequately reigned in, yet we get that 90DF goss, and the show moves along very well. Congrats, Ross. You should host everything.

What a Fantastic TOUR!! Thanks to Haircut One Hundred for their smashing US concerts!

Nick Heyward, Les "with an H" Nemes, Graham "Jonesy" Jones, and Blair Cunningham (and supporting musicians) were the best. Let's give them some love in this thread, and give them a nice send-off back to the UK!

Their family and partners of the band also are great for supporting them and being present with them as well. This was a grueling tour, and they never appeared low energy, and gave it all to the fans.

The band are wonderful gents in person, and very enjoying of and kind to their fans.

And it goes without saying, if you've seen them, they were tight, and in their best form ever--they've managed to avoid the curse of aging musicians, and they've got a lot of energy, and more songs in the bag for the future.

Hats off to Haircut 100, and I'm hoping to hear what's next for them, and possibly catch another show in the future.

Ma'am...if you had to live in the Dominican Republic, you'd be cooked...a little grace, please?

The audacity...or something else. The classism. The ignorance. She can barely string together some words to order a chela, but here she is pontificating about how difficult it is the have deep intellectual conversations with dude who basically taught himself English on the fly, and makes more sense and is more charming in English than she could ever be.

The main purpose of language is to understand, and be understood. From the cocktail party he attended, where he was chatting up the husbands (who seemed very interested when he was talking, gasp...baseball!!), to the show, he's incredibly understandable, and 85% of a conversation, he gets it and responds fine.

Sorry, folks, as a Spanish-language learner and gringo, hearing her attitude just gives me a case of the red-ass.
