  1. If Mr Jillin hasn't recommended it, it is really of no significance. When will the rest of us learn?

  2. Walking through the Bugamvillas Mall across from Chopsticks I saw a sign for a new restaurant. It says coming soon and I see chairs inside. Pakistani and Indian cuisine with a grill . This would be a welcome addition to our food scene in Ajijic if the food is good. I'll be watching and report back....

  6. Lakeside, can you tell us WHAT Medicare Advantage company your wife has that you just also joined por favor. And if you will, what 'location' this particular policy was written for.... like maybe Tarrant County Texas or Larimer County Colorado. And if not a 60-day limit, is there any time limit for "out of area" coverage on this plan? Michael Sapp your description of the differences between Original Medicare with a Supplement and a Medicare Advantage policy are indeed accurate. That, however, does not suggest that a Medicare Advantage policy will cover one in Mexico... or anywhere outside your 'home' area....for anything other than an Urgent or Emergency situation and 'with most policies' that coverage is within the first 60 days of a vacation somewhere and is on a reimbursement-to-the-policy-holder arrangement only, meaning you pay the hospital, surgeon etc up front and when/if you recover and are back home you will file for reimbursement of those big dollars... and then pray! I presume that you were "told today" (the above) by someone in Mexico... maybe the above mentioned hospital. I STRONGLY suggest that you ask not them but your insurance company 'back home'. Then get it in writing from them.

  8. Everything I have ever read about Advantage plans is that they require the participant to live in their assigned Medical Coverage area. If you lie you will be inevitably be liable for huge bills, at the very least. Worst case scenario: guilty of insurance fraud. https://www.ehealthmedicare.com/medicare-advantage-articles/what-are-the-pros-and-cons-of-switching-to-a-medicare-advantage-plan/#:~:text=Medicare Advantage plans have specific service areas.&text=To enroll%2C you must reside,6 months of the year.&text=The trade-off is that,receive payment for covered services. "Medicare Advantage plans have specific service areas. Most Medicare Advantage plans have regional (rather than nationwide) networks of participating providers. To enroll, you must reside in the Medicare Advantage plan’s service area at least 6 months of the year. If you divide your time between homes located in different areas, this requirement may be difficult to meet." https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/retired-expats-question-remains-keep-medicare-coverage-not#:~:text=Medicare generally does not cover,cover emergency foreign medical expenses.&text=However%2C they do need a,Part D prescription drug plans. "Establishing faux residency in the U.S. may provide comfort to some Medicare enrollees. But I would not use it to maintain Medicare Advantage or Part D coverage and risk having an insurer reject a huge claim. And believe me, these are the kinds of claims that insurers are motivated to question."

  9. Have you ever had a meal that was so good you had to tell somebody? Happened to me today, fried whole red snapper known as guachinango dorado with rice, beans, green salad, homemade tortillas, and an excellent red salsa. I got mine delivered but the place is on the second floor of the mercado municipal in the Fonda La Güera. No tablecloths or candles, just food done right.

  11. In case you haven't noticed Magnolias in chapala is owned by an Indian chef and I can tell you from experience his offerings are superb and they deliver. I order extra hot. I checked out Al Marej on FB and their offerings appear to be the same so it ain't gonna be anything new here.

  12. If you adjust the alkalinity first, keeping the pH in the proper range will be easier. Any 5 way test kit will have an alkalinity test. You already have muriatic acid for reducing pH. Get some baking soda to treat low alkalinity(add thru the skimmer). High alkalinity is treated with acid, just like high pH.
