  1. I needed to add an O2 tank to my wife's inventory. Her oxygen concentrators are some times unable to keep up with her medical needs and her portable battery operated unit cannot produce more than "3" without exhausting the batteries too quickly or needs to be recharged often. There is a local company that supplies refills, tanks of many sizes. English is spotty. You can PM me for further info.
  2. Mike....my wife is sorting thru the books and I will let you know when she is finished.
  3. We eat at the restaurant several times a week.....I am sure that some of you missed the fact that this part of the facility is :"outside." There is no roof over it....there are several entrances where you can transit from one side to the other. My wife is on a portable O2 machine and we can easily avoid smokers by sitting away from them as needed.
  4. I took the suggestion that the lake is very low, seriously....so I drove to the Jocotepec Malecon.....the water was over the shore line....the docks that protrude into the lake were under water...there was no longer a beach near the beach volley ball court....waves were up to the statue of Jesus on the spit of land that sticks out into the lake. The tour boat was able to pick up passengers....only from a bobbing floating dock.....I ofcourse accept the views that this will be a dry lake bed shortly...it is my eyes that are lying.
  5. Our sides were as described in the menu and were on the plate when delivered....there was no buffet offering nor has there been one in the last 4-5 weeks. Things change and some places can be better or become worse.
  6. My wife and I eat out a lot and we are very particular. We want good and prompt service, good value and tasty well presented food. It is also nice to see the owner available 7 days a week...that is by his choice. We eat with Pancho at least once a week and have not commented up to now because we wanted the negative comments to run their course. His grocery store is exceptional and the help....without exception is always welcoming.
  7. I bought one fit from S&S when I switched to Mexican plated cars...then it was totaled...so I was quoted on another Fit....I asked for automatic and was quoted on a stick shift and was told it was the only one available....then quoted on Auto when I asked again....I then went To Guad and was quoted less on the same car models with the same accessories...plus was offered other free products. I have, in 16 years here....bought another fit from a dealer in Guad.
  8. I have ALWAYS been able to get a better price at dealers and not at S&S.
  9. Due to over loaded trucks, the Jocotepec bypass is breaking up in the section nearest the Guadalajara highway. The ruts can be dangerous at night.
  10. My car was in for service so I rode the bus from Jocotepec to Ajijic and back. Less than half the people on the bus wore masks or even had them. Many people who did have a mask wore it on their chins. The driver on both buses had no mask. I am not making a judgement nor a complaint, just a warning.....if you don't want to be in close contact with people who do not wear masks....then you might consider not riding the local buses.
  11. I find that talking to people on the phone like this gets me much better results....in this case, I called the regular driver and said that he could count us as "gone"as a customer and he got his supervisor to call me. They now are sending another supervisor in the morning to pick up the phony receipt. Actually, customer service here and in the USA has virtually disappeared.....it should be called "customer NO service."
  12. I should have known better! A Tomza truck arrived and the driver asked if I needed gas....his english was flawless. I told him that I used "Hector" as my usual delivery drive and he said..."I know". I stood with him as the meter was reset to ZERO and the hose was already hooked to my intake pipe. Then he handed me a receipt. It was faded as if the ink ribbon needed changing.....I went, as I always did, and checked my tank. No gas had been put in. I called Hector and he said it was a scam and I was the victim. He made some calls and the company called me back and said another truck would be here and put the proper amount of gas in my tank at no additional charge. The truck number on the bill is not correct but after I sent them a copy they again said they will make good on my loss.....lesson?.......I was too sure of myself and dropped my guard....the invoice couldn't be read and I should of demanded a clear one. Plus....I should have waited for my regular driver.
  13. I took several iphone photos of my meter....showing all readings.....then brought to our local CFE office.....my next bill will show the corrected amount because the meter reader only read ONE LINE. There was no hassle and an apology was issued by the clerk....she then wrote out a receipt showing the corrected numbers.
  14. The card says "WORLDWIDE" so that might include where you might be going.
  15. No! I meant that someone like that Dr is who I would ONLY mention to that posrer. We use Quality Care and would hope that Eric does not.
  16. They are NOT really closed. You will find that the "mini" door in their gate is open and one man is always on duty. If the government shows upl....they are cleaning....if a customer comes....HOLA. We just ordered from them.
  17. Many have left....you sent many of us off to TOB and he took your advice.
  18. How about something positive about Mexico for a change...like very light virus problems in our area, like everything is opening up again ....?
  19. Mexico has admitted to doubling it's purchases of currency to help the peso hold below 23-24. They currently are awash in USD so they can do this for a long time.
