In Topic: Partial Housesitting Opportunity Available

26 November 2012 - 09:48 PM

This is a Partial housesit- basically, staying in house until sold and accomodating showings. There are no duties other than keeping cleaned up after yourself. As such there are expenses but at a fraction of normal.  It will be open ended term, depending on length of time til sold. If this interests you, PM me with your email, but this is not a free housing deal. Sorry for the confusion.

In Topic: Would like recommendations for dentist to do root canal

21 November 2012 - 10:47 PM

I had one done last week. I recommend Dr. Francisco Contreras 765-5757. He is in Riveras del Pilar. Very, very happy with his work.


I would not recommend this man to my worst enemy. He did a crown for me and botched it horribly, then insisted it was fine. I ended up with an awful infection, then had to pay for a new crown. Have photos to prove it & remains of the busted crown. Very bad experience.

In Topic: rodeo - festivities the next 10 days

20 November 2012 - 10:07 PM

I have enjoyed the rodeos held here in Ajijic near the soccer fields.  There is no torture or cruelty to the animals.  Some silly men like to get on the back of a bull, and then get tossed off, while men in costumes act silly to lure the bulls away once the men have been tossed off to the ground.  I found it go be a lot of fun.  They also show the beautiful riding skills of the caballeros who wear spiffy outfits and show off their dancing horses, and do some lasso tricks...it's a great way to spend an afternoon, drinking a few cervezas and joining the mostly Mexican audience.  Almost forgot, there is VERY loud live music there too.

No cruelty to the animals? All over Mexico and Spain, people are fighting to end bull fighting because it is abject cruelty and a terrible, torturous death to many animals. Many of the rodeo 'sports' are just as barbaric. You apparently have not witnessed the full meal deal. Even the dancing horses are 'trained' (if you can call it that) by being continually jabbed with sharp steel spurs to produce the animated movements, which are a reaction to the pain. Look into the face of a 'dancing horse'- they are not enjoying it. Are you having fun yet??

In Topic: Who to call to repair oven of gas stove?

I have been trying to call Electroventa, I have their business card with the number 765-2222. A man answers who speaks English and says it is not the number for Electroventa. Does anyone have another number for them?
