Smart phones.The most essential of items

Without our smart phone and it's charger life cannot work.we have discovered this in our forced exile here in Nicaragua.it is so important as a tool of communication and hope .hope we hear some good news not just barrage of negativity.its also great as an ice breaker, a portal to another world.Yes i must confess I would never thought i would embrace my Galaxy in such away but i will say this" Strip me naked of all life's trappings but leave my Galaxy."

  • Steve I have no issues with you however I do take issue with arrogant clowns who go out of their way to disparage those who chooses to live a simpler life void of electronic gadgets largely beyond necessity.


    Unfortunate you are in a difficult situation however it appears that there is a solution if you’re able to hold out for a bit longer with what seems to be 30 days in order to be eligible to get back home to your in Panama.


    I do concede that having your smart phone has helped as you describe and I think most anyone would do the same. The goal now is to see you folks get back home to Panama safely and sooner rather than later. Relax the stooge I reference is directed at Mr. Hercules and yes I suggest that he leave Panama as it is clear that Panamanian Migration Authorities are not interested in his previous abusive manipulation of immigration policies.

    • I am no different than Steve or other border hoppers so not sure why I need to leave Panama. I am here legally as you and do not manipulate anything. When I come back after 30 days exactly as Steven is that a manipulation smart boy? I did the same when it was 3 days. I will do the same when it will be 180 days no matter what you think of it.

  • Nobody is going to take the Walkers property. They are caught up in a bad situation with no residency. They can take a 30 day vacation. The Venezuelans and Colombians brought this upon us here. The country is getting flooded with these people taking jobs away from Panamanians. Even the poor Panamanian prostitutes are loosing work because of these girls. My advice to anyone that doesnt have residency to get it. Make your life easier.

  • "like you who are nothing more than a drain on society"?! Nice try dude but you have no clue what the heck you are talking about. The only one who is draining on society is you. Your poor wife has a brain of a chicken when she married you. You are the gringo who took residency here and has more enemy than friends. I apologise to your wife if I was too harsh, maybe you forced her to a marriage. From people who worked in jobs like you described one can expect anything. A dominant alpha male. But guess what? I always stood up to authorities and law enforcement if I saw abusing their position.

    I live with locals and can adapt. You can´t adapt, you can´t adapt to new era, to new technology, to society. Just wondering how you are able to write and use internet. I use it as well just on my smartphone. So stop using your computer!!! YOU DON´T NEED IT, that is what you say.

    Going nowhere, staying here, then do a longer vacation and will be right back to where I am now. The thing is I do not want residecny. I can spen my money in a different way. I was trying to understand you a bit but can´t because you totally take everything to an extreme. How did my parents book flights in the past? Yes exactly in the past. What would you do if you find out in 5 years or 10 years that the only way to do stuff will be just online? You are doing everything that way anyway because you CAN´T change it and must adapt to the new era. Why the hell do you use a computer and internet? Get the hell out and stop using it because what I do on my smartphone or Steven or anybody eslse is exactly the same stuff that you do on your damn computer. You must be so limited in your views that it just makes me think I am wasting my time here with you. On the other hand I am a conflicting person and don´t run away from a conflict so the more someone will provoke me here or attack the more I will retaliate, don´t you worry about that. So once more a smartphone is bacicaly a cell phone and a small computer in one thing, plus actually with a good camera and a compass, even a TV, radio, dictionary and lots more. Do you understand that it can be to my benefit to use it you dinosaur? Who is talking about needing 24/7 connectivity?! You are talking real bullshit you know? I am not having 24/7 connectivity. A smartphone can be tunred off you know? I turn it on when I need it. I use the stuff when and where I need it. I can take it with me anywhere I want. I am from a younger generation and a digital nomad so I work online and earn my f***ing money via the internet. I am dependant on this technology. You are retired and don´t have to do anything! I can call with my family back home and see them live on my smartphone from anywhere there is a reception. I bet you do the same just on your computer. So what is the difference you hypocrit! Turn of the damn computer and STFU!

    Checking my balance in a bank? Once again you must be kidding me if you think I should go to a bank and do it there personally. Wake up man, you need to take some pill because you really can´t be normal writing stuff like you do. I am not denying it is not possible to do it the old way today. Yes sure you can do that but you are a slave then and doing stuff the harder way and loosing a lot of time. Time is money. I don´t have time to go to a bank, stay in a line and loose an hour or two doing so when I can have that on my smartphone in second you dummy! If there is something I want to make a picture of or do a movie how can I do it if I don´t have a smartphone with me? So I should carry with me a camera a laptop a compas a dictionary and everything what is today in a smartphone to have that separately? No really come on. If you want to just provoke me or make fun of your self go and continue. Find me somebody here like you. As I said you are the 1% of the 99%. Better said you are the 0.00000001%. Your ass got stucked on a chair and next to your computer where you write now. Actually I am writing this now from the beach at Las Lajas. You are very lucky you are in Panama because regarding internet stuff Panama is like 20 years back. In the US or Europe you won´t survive a day without a phone. No sane person can say today he doesn´t need a phone. One day when you will be dying and need help you will have nothing in your pocket to take out and call for help. Then it will be too late to make a change. Nobody forces you to be 24/7 on a phone or have connectivity. If you are not stupid you know how to use that shit but first you would need to get smarter and open up your eyes...And by the way people like you should be kicked out of here not me not Steven not others. You are a shame to all gringos. You are taking money from the government while other work their ass off and you tell me I am draining somebody or something? I am paying here for everything from my savings and my earnings. I don´t ask Panama for a penny!!!!!!!! People like us support the country and put something to charity for example to a local school every christmass here. Now please turn of the computer and live like a prehistoric caveman and don´t be online because you are also considered 24/7 connected while you say you don´t need it. If you carefully read my posts I said everybody DOES NEED a smartphone who doesn´t have a computer. Any of your attacks are from now on attacks on yourself. Why? Because you use a computer and it can do exactly what a smartphone can, just a smartphone can do a lot more than your probably old aging computer that can last without power for an hour or two while my smartphone lasts for 2 days at least and can have it easily anywhere...
