Just a short note to tell people that all three of Ginger’s dogs are really happy with their new owners. Thanks to the people on this board and the animal facebook pages for their help is placing these wonderful dogs.

IMO, of all that was said, this is most likely the 'take home' words. The rest is, again IMO, just mental masterbation.

You’re reading too much into this

Exchange? Likely yes. Refund? Not likely, but if they agree it will not be a cash refund. They will put it on a gift card.

Not in my recent experience coming into Gdl a week ago Monday...Each pet was still physically inspected after they asked for proof of rabies, de-worming, antiparasitic etc, they just do not require the previous AHPHS 7001 or vet-derived health "certificate"....you still have to have proof of those requirements. I called and spoke to Sagarpa myself before I headed out and this is what they told me and, shore 'nuff, the process at the airport in Guadalajara for me was unchanged other than not needing the certificate.

I believe it's planned to locate in the huge commercial/residential project between Walmart and Coca Cola. Who knows when that will be finished, if ever.

Pears soap is available in SuperLake. My mum used this extensively for cleaning, especially faucets. I made a wet paste and left it on the windows where the sprinkler hit and left hard water. About a half hour later, I scrubbed it around and off then rinsed the window. Took a second application but then they were fine... and then I went and played with the sprinkler heads to make sure it didn't happen again. I have also used coconut oil and a scrubbie to take chrome taps back to their original finish. They were white with hard water deposits... Takes some effort and patience over a few days but they came clean. Both products are gentle on you, the environment and whatever you want to get clean.

I am posting this for someone else.. please contact that person, not me as the Op.. If you are able and willing to help, please do so.. otherwise please keep your personal opinions about the situation to yourself.. I do not know about the person's personal circumstances, nor do you , as they are personal to this person. I write this note as this happens may times when a person asks for assistance, and mainly gets criticized, etc. rather than helpful ideas or suggestions.. I know most people are thoughful and kind hearted about another person's personal private circumstances, others not so much. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi folks, Last year a handsome, personality plus cat adopted me. He tried my neighbor first, and that didn't work out as she has a ton of cats and dogs. It didn't take long for this smart cat to figure out I was a soft touch. Unfortunately , I have an old cat who wants nothing to do with him, my place is on the market, and I cannot take him with me when I leave in six weeks or so. I have two options--find him a home or put him down. Really, I don't want to do the latter. His name is Boomerang (because he kept coming back to my door with this eager look on his face). He answers to Boom or Boomer. He is feline lukemia free, sterilized, and has had shots with paper health certificate from his vet. He's a bright and playful boy, affectionate, he understands no, out, foodsie, rolly over, no bite, and how to open a sliding screen door. He is litter box trained, but is happy to pee and poop outside. He will sleep outside in a protected area with plenty of water if he has to and keep your property free of mice. He wants human affection, is talkative, and seems to really like women. He comes with a month's supply of dry food and his own cat carrier. His temporary human can be reached at slickrock39 at yahoo.com

My experience was the same as Guiness' experience. Maybe Dr. Pinto has good days and bad days. Not really what I want in an eye Doctor.

Thanks to your and others' recommendations, I've been 8n touch with Ron who has been wonderfully responsive.

Pintos are the worst. So blurry. Terrible.

Can't talk about water and electricity but have been there several times recently. The indigenous people are still commandeering the lot. It is quite a problem as people seem to be leaving cars when going long term. The result is bedlam with most spots taken and cars illegally parked causing more tumult. If I were going on a trip. I would take a taxi.

And all those "experts" are members posting on this forum……….

Wlizabeth, ask the realestate agent to provide you with a couple of electrical bills from the house you are thinking of buying, that should tell you what they spendon electricity. Chemicals for pools are not cheap.. What do they have now,a heater , how much gaz do they use.. Get a solar company to come and tell you if solar is possible on that property, for exemple solar was possible for the house but way too much for the pool and the pool was far away and there was no room to put the solar inless I wanted to look at panels and but a bunch of trees.. People on this board can tell you what they spend on mantenance and chemicals..

Long story short, I have my Canadian grandmother here in Ajijic (she's been here for 45 yrs) and my dad is a Mexican from GDL. His family is quite large (he's 1 of 9), so I have a huge family here that I wasn't raised around. I returned this summer on vacation, fell in love with it and decided to stay to reconnect with my roots/culture. Don't get me wrong, I love the Ajijic/Chapala area and I'm grateful to be here, it's an entirely different world from my hometown of Sedona, AZ. But, I've been here about 7 months and it has been very difficult to meet people in Ajijic around my age and there aren't many opportunities for young professionals. But I enjoy it a lot and everyday it seems more like home, but most of my social life is in GDL now.

There are so many great options, lakeside. I chose Actinver. Why? One reason is because it allows me to also have a stock brokerage account where I keep a portion of my retirement account. Another is it's location. which is great for me. And their exchange rate? it's OK if you just have a bank account but its much closer to the spot rate should you have a brokerage account. Having a brokerage account with Actinver also allows me to wire US dollars down to Actinver and they keep the money in dollars accounts until we decide the peso exchange rate is favorable.

You also have to add a little more "of whatever". I'm not saying you can't bake in a propane oven, I'm saying that the baked product turns out better with an electric oven. YMMV.

I have a Mexican account at HSBC but looking for a change.
