    Do You Agree with What Some Detractors Say About Abinader's Accomplishments? Should They Give Him full credit for the country's progress?

    The entire article is more interesting than just this quote of a quote of other quotes. I will quote a renowned media psychologist: “When someone’s main contribution to a channel is quoting passages from other media that contain his/her/its name there will be a suspicion of namedropping and...

    Oh wow! More news from BBQ

    Lol, Predators, overkill. You do know ukrainians do surveillance and take out russians with modified cheap toystore drones? So you sold computer chips. Good for you, I think.

    Classrooms to close to give room to voting stations

    It might be easier to tell when the schools are open than to tell when they are closed.

    Oh wow! More news from BBQ

    Drones will make a huge difference in guerrilla types of situations which I expect in Haiti. The Kenyans better have them. I wonder if there will be any air or satellite surveillance. Nowadays intelligence is more important than the amount of troops on the ground.

    Home attendant for Senior in San Cristobal

    I understand both…trust is the limiting factor I guess. Let’s see how Sky’s friend works out. If not my wife and stepdaughter have family and friends in San Cristobal who may know someone. I also wonder what the OP is looking for (services/hours)

    Home attendant for Senior in San Cristobal

    Maybe his avatar is a giveaway of his household ;).. Seriously, I believe word of mouth and via via recommendation is the best way to find a cleaner. Many are looking to earn some extra money with jobs like these.

    Home attendant for Senior in San Cristobal

    2000 pesos for 3 hours is generous, I am surprised. Maybe these classifieds did not reach the right people.

    Moving back to DR (north coast) when I retire: do or don't

    I know these tricks. Then it needs a matching belt, jacket, purse, pants etc. Then something else is bought because it was on sale and it starts all over again. When I say something about it to my wife the cost of my habits is countered back to me. Lol

    Roofing Opinions Please

    A somewhat flexible top layer would be good with these falling mango’s. Is it real rubber or bitumen? There is also EPDM which is very durable but that is glued on. Downside is these materials are usually black (heat) and less esthetic than shingles. Upside is it is easier to patch up if needed...

    Dominican Superbugs ? or Baygon etc. mot working anymore !?

    Direct spray on to kill and they won’t be able to build up resistance. I believe preventive spraying of areas is less effective. The picked up doses may be low enough to get used to and build up immunity. Better kill directly. Watching sprayed on Baygon terminate a fullgrown cockroach in 20...

    For "What it's worth" department

    That’s a nice solution. Especially if you can tune the pressure threshold. I notice many tank pumps still turn on every 10 minutes or less just because of loosing a little pressure, are these not adjustable?

    Getting a visa to Spain

    Of course they need a UK visa. It is not about that, it is what more they need for a transit in Spain itself. For comparison: If I fly from the EU to the DR via the US I need an Esta, even if it is only in transit.

    Getting a visa to Spain

    Doesn’t make sense to me either. If they are not entering or staying in an EU country and do not need to cross border control they might not even need a Schengen visa. For a transit only (within the transit area) in Spain to the UK they would only need a Spain Airport Transit Visa. To be clear...

    La Isabella is mostly used for regional flights and private jets. Check flightradar24 for the real arrivals and departures.

    Still searching for a payroll and tax accountant....

    If you find someone I would also demand direct access/login to this administration and not rely solely on general reports. Whether you use it or not for checking it may damper the temptation to “play” with numbers and payments.
