Oh I'm hoping you're right. The first time it was from the clerk at the vehicle license dept. in Ixtlahuacan then when we got home I asked one of the workers that is doing work on our home and he said that it was correct. I think it's bs also but these are weird times.

I heard from two sources today that as of July 1st men must be clean shaven, no beards or mustaches. All because of covid-19 and face masks. I haven't been without a beard for at least 30 years, not happy. As prevalent as mustaches are here in Mexico I don't know how this will go over.

What did you think I was talking about?

Same here.

Good to know. My wife received her payment, direct deposited, to our account in the U.S. about 4 weeks ago. Still nothing on my deposit to our Mexican account. I receive the 1099 form delivered right to our house so if I receive a check I hope it doesn't get lost.

That's an idea. I've been there quite a few times for other things and have never seen them but could ask. I know, that's where I first saw them but was hoping to find some closer.

I'm looking to find about 5 of these wood posts. I know that I can get them in Michoacan but wonder if I could find them in this area?

Yummmmm!!

My wife has her SS check deposited directly to our credit union in the states, she received the stimulus payment last week. I wonder if mine is being delayed, held up, because I have a Mexican account?

Haven't received mine.

Am I reading this wrong? From your link: ACA notes that the IRS requires the use of a U.S. based bank account for direct deposit of the recovery rebates with an exception made in the case of an individual receiving U.S. Social Security benefits, in which case the individual will have created an account with the Social Security Administration and personally inputted the information allowing direct deposit into his or her foreign account. From this I would be receiving a deposit to my Mexican account.

Not me, but I made sure they saw your responses. It's the least we can do for all the wonderful people and business here.

If you want to be able to have your favorite local business still here when this crisis is over we should be looking for ways to make this happen. Please take a few minutes to watch this video and help out if you can.

I gave up on cutting my hair ages ago. My beard isn't quite as long but my avatar has a striking resemblance.

Just an update. A Mexican friend of ours had an appointment at IMSS in Tlajomulco and was told that the oncology and nephrology departments were still honoring appointments.

Don't know but they only wanted to let one of us through. My wife doesn't look Mexican and they never asked for ID. Went again this morning by myself and the answer seems to be to go before 8:30. They were just putting up the lane dividers and coming back just before 9 they were in full force.

Well I had to go into Chapala on an errand today just after noon. Only my wife was with me in the car. At first they only wanted to let me through but my wife being Mexican was able to sweet talk the "officer" into letting both of us proceed.

My wife made my last mask with pipe cleaner for the nose and it made a huge difference. As a side note unless your using transparent fabric it shouldn't make a difference what the color is. The pipe cleaner is encased in the hem across the top.

Same with my Honda BRV.

I've yet learned to live without eating. I'd rather shop at Costco (Lopez Mateos) where there is less congestion, the store is cleaner, the company seems to care more for the health of the employees and customers and I can stock up on items so that I'm not going to the store every other day.

We went the beginning of the week and had no problem. You have to be smart and not go on days before the weekend. I usually try to go early in the morning and on Mondays and Tuesdays. As to why shop Costco, they have just about everything I need in one place and I can buy in quantities that mean I won't have to be going out more often. The times that I've had to shop locally (Soriana, Walmart) I've felt more vulnerable than I ever had at Costco.

I agree with everything else, they really seem to have their act together. But unless they are going to have someone to follow me around loading my cart seems rather senseless. But hey, less work for me.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know. Though we'll probably stay in for a couple more days.

Even before the problem with coronavirus I didn't have a problem with crowds. I always made sure to shop early and avoid days before holidays. No problem with social distancing. Not everyone lives under the same circumstances. Just picked up my wife on Thurs. from having surgery, haven't had a chance to go to Costco. Haven't left the house for 3 days. We don't live in an area that would have deliveries. If people are actually staying home and Costco is open now would seem to be a perfect time to go. In the U.S. there's talk of Costco opening early for seniors, are they doing that down here also? What are you people going to do a week from now, maybe even a month or two? Eventually you're going to have to go out.

With the Jalisco govt. asking people to stay home for 5 days I'm wondering if this has changed Costco's hours or if they will even be open. Haven't been able to find anything online.
