Interesting Experience at Farmacia Mascaras
MtnMama replied to LaJeanie's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
I would just point out that most of the vendors we deal with make a lot less money than most of us get every month. Haggling with them over a few pesos that you can well afford is crass. If you can't afford it, don't buy it. IMHO -
Interesting Experience at Farmacia Mascaras
MtnMama replied to LaJeanie's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
I find price shopping for medicine we take regularly to be well worth while. Farmacia Guadalajara is best for many common meds. Farmacia Maskaras is best for unusual medicines as they will order and have it the next day. They also deliver (wonderful when your car isn't working). -
Hours are 10 am to 12:30 pm. And yes there is still a line at the front door and unless you are very spry, lines for the most popular vendors by the time you can get to them. Learn to meet the nice people in line and stay calm.

Keep in mind that in states and countries where cannabis is legal, there are a wealth of different strains and products for medicinal use. They are not yet available in Mexico and it may be a long time before they are.

I understand that there is a Facebook page for folks living on the West and South shores. I don't know the name but it would probably be worth checking out. You'd get answers from people actually living there.

No, I got the name wrong. She moved from next to Maskaras. Sorry. It sounded as if the OP didn't know about the new office.

New office in the Interlago Plaza.

Read up on medical marijuana before you say anything to make yourself look silly.

Specialist Doctor Required for COPD Patients

Just an FYI The generic brand doesn't cause a cough, at least for me. -
I soak nearly everything in Clorox water - cheap, fast (only 3-4 minutes) you don't use much, and it works. I've never had berries turn to mush. I soak briefly in Clorox water and rinse in vinegar water to retard any mold. They last for a week or two. Trust a spray from Walmart? ROTGL

Sr. Aragon does speak some English. We had our house locks re-keyed and he suffered thru my Spanish. We went by the shop to have our car key duplicated and I heard him speaking English to another customer. I gave him a raised eyebrow and he gave me a grin.

You need a special type of Visa to obtain employment in Mexico, and too often you're taking a job away from an under employed or unemployed young person. I agree with Pappy, there are tons of volunteer opportunities and many can use someone with a financial background.

Not on a Pit Bull. Stun gun or cattle prod might work. They were bred for generations to be impervious to pain so stopping them can be difficult.

In the same vein, I'm not sure they are considered holistic, but definitely are alternative. My Corgi is seriously allergic to fleas. If I missed his flea drops by even a couple of days, he was scratching like a fiend and biting himself and causing hot spots. He is a little flea magnet. Six months ago I bought a Kokoty Flea Repellent Pendent I know an ultrasonic device makes no sense and that most Vets would tell me it couldn't work. I also know that my dog hasn't had a flea attack since he got the pendant. And no hot spots. And we are both happy about that. Sometimes you have to open your mind to possibilities.

Some people will continue to believe in Big Pharma and traditional Medicine. Others of us have, through practical experience, learned the value of many alternative medicines and remedies. Perhaps we should just agree to disagree.

Or perhaps because Saturday was a day when more people weren't working and Monday isn't a recognized holiday and day-off in Mexico.

I am another very happy patient - excellent job on a crown

I have seen results that vary widely. Even from the recommended person above. Remember if they make a mistake, you go around looking strange for at least 6 months. And uneven eyebrows do look weird.

Anybody have a Kombucha SCOBY to spare?? or Kefir?
MtnMama replied to itchin2trvl's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
You can get milk kefir at the Grainery next to Gossips restaurant, Marlows, or at the Canadian Ginger Beer shop in west Ajijic if you don't want to wait until next Tuesday. Deena's is my favorite but Canadian brand is good as well.- 13 replies

We have been using Kayta water, locally owned, for many years. So do many local restaurants.
