Lack of Posts

My apologies to my readers for the lack of posts recently.
A week before christmas my dumb-arse landlord gave us a months notice on the pretext of wanting the house for his son who was returning to Panama from the US due to lack of work. Made for a great xmas for us, trying to find another house within a month.
So far we are still searching, with little luck due to the inflated prices current in Panama. Rents may seem cheap to gringos, but not for folks on Panamanian wages.
For now my wife and son are living with her mother, I’m living with family and my workshop is in boxes in storage, so no experimenting.
What really pisses me off tho…………… I made a call to the agent who handles the rental…….. and was offered the same house at double the price………. so much for the ’son’ excuse.
How the heck are Panamanians, often on wages of 500 a month or less, supposed to pay $1000 a month for rent? We only managed before by having two wages coming in.
Greed reigns supreme. I for one will be glad to see this inflationary bubble burst and blow up in the faces of the speculators who come down here and ruin a great country.
Funnily enough…….. our landlord lives in Florida. Because the property prices are cheaper and he gets his medical treatment covered by insurance. LOL
Screw em.
I’m still dropping EC’s and doing Adgitize to the best of my ability, by using an internet cafe 15 miles away. It does limit my online time but I will continue to do my best by my advertisers.

Sorry to hear that. Actually, we were both absent for a long time. Mine is a rather different story. My webhost provider gave me a 1-month deadline last December 15, to transfer to another host because they are closing their service due to operational lost. However, after 15 days I panicked because i couldn’t access to my site anymore! It took another 2 weeks for me to recover my files and be back to normal card dropping and posting articles.what a lesson!

Ouch! That hurts. I follow this blog through Entrecard and noticed your absence. There aren’t many of us who post regularly so it’ll be good when you can get back online to keep your site updated.
I hope the housing issue is resolved.
