#142553 Inexpensive vitamins & supplements
Posted by

With so much fresh food available for a healthy diet in Mexico, why would anyone want to waste money on dietary supplements and vitamins? Don't you wonder why they aren't routinely available in Mexico and why life expectancy in Mexico is just as long as in the USA?

LCS has lost so many members in the recent past, that they should reach beyond the present membership to the entire community, in English and Spanish, to survey the needs and desires of all. Surveying the remaining membership at this time would be like 'surveying the choir' after having 'preached to the choir'.

Kudos to Dr. Ramon Garcia Garcia for his part in this. I'm also one of his 'survivors' and know that he's not only very capable but also a very nice guy.

I suspect that he hasn't tried much, if any Mexican food in local restaurants. He still thinks it is "spicey".

Ah yes! I forgot to list 'birria'. Two good places are El Chololo #4 and under the arches on the plaza in Jocotopec. Two more places I would recommend for John's dinner group to visit.

John,
Take your dinner group to 'The Hole in the Wall' some Monday night at 5:30 and experience the real Mexico.

I definitely agree with the need for a six month membership for snowbirds at 75% of the annual membership fee.
For seniors, who often are on fixed incomes with drastically diminishing purchasing power, how about a discount for every year living in Mexico. The date is in your FM3.
More PR is crucial. LCS does next to nothing to publish and invite new members. At the same time, the gates are open and the general public uses the grounds without membership. Perhaps a gatekeeper/day pass with invitation or even a ten peso 'grounds fee' for non-members.
Of course, the lack of a parking lot is a real problem for some, who are less able to walk any great distance.
The outgoing mail service is good, but seems to be slower than normal lately. Is there a real effort to remind members to pick up the mail? Doesn't seem so.
That emphasizes the need for routine e-mailings of news, events and such reminders to the membership. The newsletter should be sent, rather than depending on members to routinely visit the website or read it in the Lake Chapala Review.

It is located within the grounds of La Joya, on Rio Zula, in the western part of Ajijic. From the carretera, go toward the lake at the sign for Danza del Sol. It is several blocks down, on the right.

The street behind the mercado publico in Chapala is Juarez. Go north on the east side of the street and, just past the large fabric shop, you will find the 'Recaudadora' offices. Enter and go back down the long hall to the counter at the end.

Why such an incomplete list? There are a lot more restaurants than that!

Wouldn''t the first security measure be to avoid placing your stuff on the floor for everyone to see? As the economy tanks, there will be less and less infrastructure, including security, and more and more opportunistic crime. Personal situational awareness is worth developing in order to protect yourself and your property.
#140649 Income tax return in Mexico

Quick! Whip out your FM3 and read the first paragraph, which is in Spanish, of course. It says that the FM3 does not grant the holder residency in Mexico. You are still a tourist, with multiple entry privileges and may own property and live upon it, but you are not a "Mexican Resident." In fact, the government uses that stipulation now to deny application for naturalization to those who have lived here for many years with an FM3. In the past, they let some slip through, but now require five years on an FM2 for naturalization.

If you add a sealer, the water will just stay in those puddles even longer; until it evaporates. You might consider re-setting the loose stones with new base cement and grout. Then, when it is cured, note the low spots and drill a small, deep drainage hole at the lowest spots. That will allow the water to seep into the ground below the flagstones.
