and my problem was with the office - not the workers - yes the workders do a great job based on what i have heard and seen - just the office lost the appointment -

i called chapala tree service this week week - and made an appointment for the following day - they initially said 12 - and i said no - and then they said 11 and i said yes.. They did not come, and at 1115 i called and they said the appointment was not in their system. Note CFE had a ticket open to cut down same problem - agave bush growing into CFE wires - two weeks previous - and did not come. Finally found neighborhood worker to pay to remove yesterday. It was disappointing to have 2 no shows - for CFE an open problem ticket - and Chapala Tree Service no record of appointment made the previous day.

with peripheral neuropathy, there can be multiple causes - just google "casuses peripheral neuropathy" You mentioned you had tests done - did they test your blood for B12? Not all doctors are tuned in to the impact of nutrition on health - A significant cause can be lack of B12 (- and B12 lack is common for folks that don't eat animals products - to include dairy cheese etc - that is me - so having my B12 checked as we speak - as i came down with it about a month ago) from google ai - looks good to me - note i am not a medical professional Vitamin B12 deficiency causes peripheral neuropathy by damaging the myelin sheath, the protective coating that surrounds your nerves. Without this insulation, nerves misfire, leading to tingling, numbness, pain, and muscle weakness, typically starting in the hands and feet. [1, 2] Understanding why this deficiency happens is key to addressing the root cause of the nerve damage: 1. Dietary Restrictions Strict Vegan or Vegetarian Diets: Vitamin B12 is primarily found in animal products (meat, dairy, eggs). Without supplementation, long-term restriction can deplete your body's B12 stores. [1, 2, 3] 2. Gastrointestinal Malabsorption Pernicious Anemia: An autoimmune condition where your immune system attacks stomach cells, preventing the production of intrinsic factor—a protein required to absorb B12. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Gastrointestinal Surgeries: Procedures like gastric bypass or weight-loss surgeries alter your digestive tract, severely limiting B12 absorption. [1, 2, 3, 4] Digestive Conditions: Chronic inflammation in the small intestine, seen in diseases like Celiac disease or Crohn's disease, prevents proper nutrient uptake. [1, 2] 3. Medications Metformin: Widely used for diabetes, it can interfere with the absorption of B12 over time. Acid Reducers: Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H2 blockers reduces stomach acid, which is necessary to release B12 from food. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] 4. Other Factors Advanced Age: Aging can decrease the amount of stomach acid produced, making it harder for older adults to absorb B12 from food. Nitrous Oxide Exposure: Recreational use or repeated medical exposure to "laughing gas" inactivates vitamin B12, accelerating nerve damage. [1, 2, 3] Early diagnosis and B12 supplementation (via injections or high-dose oral pills) are essential. While symptoms can improve or even resolve with treatment, nerve damage can become irreversible if left unaddressed. For a deeper look at nutritional causes, visit the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy. To explore symptoms and treatments in detail, you can refer to the National Health Service (NHS). [1, 2, 3]

i asked google ai - that program collects local data versus making stuff up HA - and the reply was Reports of a major, month-long, 24-hour internet and electricity blackout starting May 2, 2026, in the Chapala municipality are an April Fools' Day prank. While power outages do occur occasionally, the specific widespread, extended shutdown announced on social media on April 1, 2026, is not genuine

how to search is an interesting topic. Lets look at some key points - 1) you are trying to find information based on how someone else defined it - unless you are looking for your own post. 2) you start with the minimum number of words involved Ferret please don't take this personally - but your post is an excellent example to look at. And my background? in the mid 70's i was in charge of an IBM data base for problems - and had to pay attention to how problems were defined in order for someone to find the info - So Ferret posted - "ceiling fan service"... 0 hits. I put in "ceiling fan service repair"... 0 hits. I then searched google and added "in Ajijic" to the requests. Also good to just use the word "fan" instead of "fans" for starters - instead of ceiling fan service, skip the service in the beginning.- and just search on ceiling fan (you don't know that the posted used the word service - and in fact they used the word fix) next - the words "in Ajijic" - the in is not needed - you don't know if the person defined the problem in ajijic - maybe ai could figure this out - but not the webboard search engine- and actually for this webboard, probably So back to searching - I went to chapala.com, clicked chapala webboard and then searched for ceiling - and a number of posts appeared - and also tried ceiling fan and again a number of posts appeared - so maybe this place is a better place to search. the option - everywhere - was on. So here is the link to my search on ceiling - and the post ceiling fan fix appeared plus others - https://chapala.com/webboard/index.php?/search/&q=ceiling&quick=1 and then went to the ajijic forum and got the same results - https://chapala.com/webboard/index.php?/search/&q=ceiling&quick=1 Summary - when searching, you are trying to find something based on how someone else defined the info - and always keep your seach argument simple - one or two words and do not use plurals i hope this helps Tip - searching on google for something lakeside, I find just using the word Ajijic for the location works great - as google associates chapala and riberas etc with ajijic-

april is forecast to have more than usual rain - https://tinyurl.com/2mz3zcj4 Meteorologists from the University of Guadalajara anticipate an April with above-average rainfall in various regions of Jalisco, although they clarify that this does not imply an early start to the rainy season. Specialists from the Institute of Astronomy and Meteorology (IAM) pointed out that, although the storm season in the Guadalajara area usually begins in the middle of the year, during the first and last days of April there could be episodes of rain associated with systems that affect the center and south of the country. “We expect above-average rainfall in April,” explained operational meteorologist Mauricio López Reyes, who specified that atmospheric conditions will favor isolated storms, particularly in the Ciénega and Altos regions of Jalisco. He emphasized that these events do not represent the formal start of the rainy season, but rather an increased probability of precipitation.

You can compare prices online - and i did ask ishop for recommendations and i was surprised they gave a thumbs down for one common carrier - - so i would ask them in person which ones they recommend as this was maybe a year ago

still no update on decision of AGM - from the LCS website COMUNICADO OFICIAL / OFFICIAL STATEMENT Lake Chapala Society, A.C. Board of Directors March 20, 2026 To All Members of the Lake Chapala Society. The Board of Directors wishes to thank every member who attended or participated in the Annual General Meeting held on March 17, 2026, whether in person or via Zoom. We recognize that the AGM did not go as any of us had hoped, and we write now to address what happened openly and honestly, to explain where matters stand, and to commit to a clear path forward. We ask for your patience as you read this in full. A PROCEDURAL ERROR OCCURRED During the AGM, a motion was put to a vote that had not been included on the published agenda. Under the LCS bylaws, such motions are not permitted, and we acknowledge this was a breach of our governing rules. The motion—to increase the number of candidate votes from five to seven—was accepted in good faith as an attempt to respond to concerns raised on the floor. However, good intentions do not excuse the error, and we take responsibility for it. It is important to emphasize that, regardless of how the bylaws might be interpreted with regards to the number of eligible candidates, the AGM is not the proper vehicle to address such matters. The bylaws provide a clear mechanism for member redress through an Extraordinary Meeting, which any member may call with the support of 50 signatures (Article 8). The consequences of that unplanned vote compounded the problem. The printed ballots reflected the original process; the new motion changed it. Members present on the campus were left to reconcile conflicting instructions, and members participating via Zoom received insufficient guidance. The confusion this caused was real, and the frustration of our membership is entirely justified. DOUBTS ABOUT THE VALIDITY OF THE VOTE Separately, we are aware of significant technical difficulties that affected absentee and remote voting. Members who were entitled to request a second ballot for a partner had difficulties or were unable to do so through the platform being used. This is unacceptable, and it raises legitimate questions about whether every eligible member had a fair and equal opportunity to participate in the vote. Taken together — the procedural breach and the voting irregularities — the Board accepts that confidence in the integrity of this AGM has been seriously damaged. WHERE THINGS STAND TODAY The Board has retained a Notario Público to conduct a formal review of the proceedings at the AGM and to provide a legal opinion on whether the process constituted an egregious breach sufficient to affect the validity of the results. We are committed to abiding by that determination. While this review is underway, the newly elected directors cannot be formally seated. HOW WE ARRIVED HERE We must also be candid with you: after the resignation of the several board members, the President and Executive Directors, the current Board faced an unprecedented situation where there was uncertainty about whether we had sufficient members present to constitute a quorum for formal decisions. No decisions could be made, nor meetings could be called to organize the logistics of the AGM. The members who resigned had also been responsible for much of the organization and logistics of the AGM, but there was very little handed over to the remaining board members. This and the time constraints led to serious problems in organizing the AGM. The remaining and incoming directors were left to organize a complex annual meeting — including ballot preparation, Zoom coordination, and member communications — under severe time pressure, with incomplete information, and with genuine uncertainty about whether the Board could legally convene and makedecisions. This does not excuse what went wrong, but we believe you deserve to understand the context. YOUR RIGHTS AS MEMBERS We wish to make clear something that, regrettably, was not communicated at the AGM itself: members have meaningful recourse available to them under the LCS bylaws. Any member — or group of members — may call an Extraordinary General Meeting by obtaining the signatures of fifty (50) members and submitting a formal request. This mechanism exists precisely to allow the membership to act when confidence in the Board or in a process has been shaken, and we encourage any member who wishes to use it to do so. Additionally, under Mexican civil law, any member has the right to challenge the validity of decisions taken at a general assembly through a legal action before the civil courts (acción de nulidad de acuerdos de asamblea, pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Ley General de Sociedades and the Código Civil Federal). Members who wish to explore this avenue may wish to consult their own legal counsel. OUR COMMITMENTS TO YOU The Board makes the following commitments to the membership: 1. We will accept and abide by the legal opinion rendered by the Notario Público, and we will communicate its findings to members promptly and in full. 2. We will post all significant decisions, updates, and communications on the LCS website in a timely manner. You should not have to seek information — we will bring it to you. 3. We will not seat new directors until the legal review is complete and the path forward is clear. 4. We will work to ensure that no future AGM or general meeting is organized under the conditions that produced these failures. We are deeply aware that the Lake Chapala Society exists to serve its members and the community, and that trust is the foundation on which everything we do rests. That trust has been strained, and rebuilding it is now our primary obligation. We thank you for your continued patience and your commitment to this organization. Respectfully, President Yolanda Martinez Secretary Greg Custer The Board of Directors Lake Chapala Society, A.C.
