    Crazy

    I am told the first election results will be available at 8:00 p.m. Already in Jamao the horns honking and sounds of motores racing is crazy. People truly get excited about this. Is this just Jamao or is it happening elsewhere?

    Dominican Republic`s Abinader looks set for first-round election win

    They are buying votes, of course! Sometime they give the money to someone who will vote for the other party and in exchange for $$ they must hand over their cédula. In other words a no vote for the opponent is one more vote for the party of the person paying. Other times the funds are thank...

    Let's talk health insurance!

    We are closed tomorrow. We stayed open on Friday, but typically Jamao is rambunctious the day after elections. If there is much street activity the parents will not send their preschool children. Thus we chose to use good judgement and closed.

    Let's talk health insurance!

    JD, I have been thinking about Senasa ever since Bill Webster (forget what he went by here...WW?) mentioned it. Thanks for the push. Think I will go Monday, since school is cancelled, and inquire about it. I don't mind having an exam. I am old but not yet worn out.

    Although I have medication coverage I never use it. So I tend to agree with you. Which plan do you have? Trouble with health insurance you do not need it until you need it.

    Let's talk health insurance!

    I have the Exclusive plan with Univeral. It is not their top plan. My last bill was 45,000 RD and I pay it 4 times a year. Being 70 years old I do not think I can get a different plan. Correct me if I am wrong.

    Receipts for legal fees

    I agree, but If the receipt is not forthcoming, the secret is humility. " I am sorry but I always forget things and do not want to make mistakes regarding what I owe you.. Could you please write me a receipt?" Kindness, handled properly, always wins.

    Renting a car in the USA using a DR Driving Licence

    I have never had problems with my dr license. What seems to be the problem is if I present a Dr Visa card or a US credit card. But in the end I always get the car. Just takes a little patience - like it does to make transactions here.
