It is strange to see cops everywhere, considering there's virtually no crime here. Maybe that's why there's no crime? Or maybe it's leftover from a few decades ago when Panama was less stable and more corrupt?

That tailio! We brush it all the time and it never looks less crazy!

I’m good, thanks! Studying Spanish every day, I’ve made some friends, and I’m loving the perfect weather here. The culture and people are so different than the US. People are much more accepting of others, of rules, the police on the street greet people, nobody's loud in restaurants. I miss Crystal Light and legal…

I have three cats and a puppy, and The worst mess is because of my boyfriend's smoking. Yuck.

This puppy makes endless messes and some of her messes are downright disgusting messes.

IKR??? 

Hey Duck! I got all the time in the world, to quote The Subdudes, and I still have a list as long as my arm.

Sweetie boy!

Awww, that Lavender is a beauty. Also, open your eyes, Frank!

Hey y’all, buenas noches. My little corner of Central America is busy, it’s Saturday night in town and people are out. I’m home on the balcony with lemon water, studying Spanish. I’m also in the middle of Ocean Prey, the new Lucas Davenport novel. Even though it feels like every other Davenport novel, it’s still…

Kill someone with your car while likely speeding, and bc there’s no investigation/charges for rich white celebrities, run for Governor of California! What a world for ignorant rich people!

Can’t remember if it’s Athleta or Title 9, but one of them has expensive, very excellent sports bras that work for bigger bra sizes. Different bras with light support to heavy support, like when you’re running. I wish they weren't $80 though, because that's an awful lot when I could make do with VS sports bras half…

At one point during the pandemic, when I was living in a cabin in the woods in the middle of nowhere with no car or available ride service, I was feeling a little aggravated. So I started direct messaging Susan Collins to express my overall disappointment over her refusal to stand for anything whatsoever that…
