(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right
and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five
minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes
to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3)Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you
should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in
fine.

(4)Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often
misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and
wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about
nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous state ments a women can
make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before
deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say
you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she
says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at
all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' ... that will bring on a 'whatever').

( Whatever: Is a women's way of saying F*cK YOU!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning
this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is
now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?'
For the woman's response refer to # 3.

* Send this to the men you know, to warn them about arguments they can
avoid if they remember the terminology.
* Send this to all the women you know to give them a good laugh, cause they
know it's true.

Last nigt in Panama, spent the mroning visiting a native tribe , walking thorugh a riverfor 30mins to get to them. Spent the afternooon in a huge shopping mall buying us labels at bargin prices! Off to squeeze everything into my bag and a24 hour flight home starting at 0600am in the morning. See ye all soon . Dee

Had a great afternoon yesterday, took a boat out to a sister hotel of the one I was staying at called Limbo on the beach, had to check it out except they were charging me 30 dollers to get there and back, a bit steep seeing as everything is no more than $2 on the whole island, I went anyway and it turned out to be amazing. A totally deserted tropical island, prestine beach, coconut trees the lot.
Thew owners father in law had come out on the boat too to run some erands, there was an irish girl and her English boyfirned there too. The Father in Law whos name is "Salsa" (actually Henry but he loves dancing so much ...aged 65) offered to walk me to the point so we went along a trail parallel to the beach. We stumbled upon another 2 hotels too so I had to go for a look around. A nice American couple owned the "NATURAL" each room is an individual bungalow on stilts. Very nice indeed.

This island is where "Survivor" has been filimed 3 times now, Salsa was telling me all about it, he worked on the props for the games etc.

He was very nice and when we got back from the walk, the chef of the hotel had made some lunch for us before we headed back. The driver of the boat had his girlfiend there to who is a famous Panama tv star apparently.

Salsa was mad to take me to some of the local bars where beer is only $.65 instead of the expensive tourist prices of $2.00!
So I went. Strange but an expierence. I was getting a bit unconfortable by the 4th bar , everyone starting etc so I went back . I had a bite to eat and headed off to bed early.

I caught my little plane at 8 this morning, very nearly slept in , hit the snooze button too much,and after the most thorough security ever at an airport, I am not kidding. Its smaller than Kinvara and they went thourgh everything as well as charging , $22 for being overwieght, my bags ..not me!

First day in Panama City down, went to the canal.. of course, no big container ships going through, just some small sailing boat. interestinag enough all the same.
I went down to the old town area then and strolled around the Cathederal, theater and Presidental Palace etc , its nice -UNESCO hertiage protected etc etc. Just going to stay in the hotel tonight , a bit dodgey to be walking around on my own me thinks.
A few hotels to inspect in the morning and meeting up with Isabels sister in the afternoon. I have a tour the following day to see some native indian tribe or something!
Take care
