Telcel will let you keep old number, that is why you need to go to main office..

They would not let me keep my old number but insisted I get a  new one.

Ya, so the rep can get credit ($) for a new client. 

Probably

Telcel prefers that you get a new number.

The experts, not the politicians, say a reliable vaccine will probably not be available until sometime next year so no use sitting around waiting until then.

Maybe SJC scares him.

We live right on the lake but have been gone for the last 4 1/2 months. We expected to come home to floating islands of lirio like last year but it is very “scant” so far and it seems to be entirely water lettuce and no water hyacinth:/ Anyone else notice this or know why?

The lake level is almost a meter lower than this time last year. Probably less water is coming in from the Lerma river (where much of the plant material comes from) so far. I was hiking above Piedra Barrenada this morning and you could see large patches of Lirio/water lettuce. The amount of each plant in a specific area can depend on the lake level and wind direction.

I'm sure I'm not the first to experience this--I need to sign the Closing docs and Deed on our Mexican home, but I am not there. I'm stuck in the US with health issues, my own and other family members.

Is it true I MUST physically return to Mexico to sign the papers? I was told I can have a Mexican Power of Attorney (giving PoA to my spouse, who is still in Mexico) done by a notario, but there aren't any notarios in the US. 

My husband does not want to FedEx the papers to me, in case they get lost or I make a mistake in signing.

I was thinking I could do an "e-sign", but not sure if that holds for Mexico. I do know when I sold my US home I e-signed everything from Mexico.

Thanks for any info or suggestions.

There are many notaries in  the US. I have had Canadian documents notarized by Mexican notaries. I am sure there is are ways to have a Mexican document notarized by a US notary.

There have been large floating islands of green plants towards the west end of the lake. I live high above the lake so I can't see what species it is. Usually later in the rainy season when they open the dams on the Lerma river a lot of liro enters the lake from there.

You may want to google up Compucel del Lago, he is near the corner of Independencia and Vicente Guerrero.  I am not sure about the house calls.   The last number I have for him is 333 330 7827.  He has a facebook page also.  Speaks Spanish, German and English.  Benjamin Zuñiga.

Thanks Kiko. I will check him out.

Abraham 331 4877497 does a good job and reasonable price.

Thanks I have used him a few times-he is good but he is from Chapala and does not like coming out this far so he is always late-sometimes a day or more.

The OP must have time on his hands to bring up an old topic that was discussion thoroughly years ago.

I did not see the recent post that he is referring to.

Does anyone know of a computer assist person in the Joco area. Someone who speaks some English would be better.

I will ask about FIEL at my bank tomorrow. Odd that it has never come up before. 

My bank saying that asking me for a FIEL was a mistake as that is for wire transfers and mine was a "global" transfer.

That will be a better location for me.

To be accepted as a "comprobante de domicilio" it needs to be under 90 days old.  So even though it's not stated that is a given

Okay

Is there a standard lease blank you can buy somewhere like a papeleria?

Yes, there is.

I will ask my bank tomorrow about FIEL.

For a witness we picked up a lady sitting in the Jocotepec plaza. Nice lady. A odd but very Mexican way.

I will ask about FIEL at my bank tomorrow. Odd that it has never come up before.

So what ID or bill did you use to prove an address?

Phone bill (not mine) and help from City Hall in Jocotepec.

So why not start your own poll? No poll is perfect. Is a NY Times, Fox News or CNN poll perfect? At least Best of Lake Chapala is trying...what are the other alternatives here? And are not all poll takers in"a business out to make money" ? 

Why clutter up things.

The best of Lake Chapala is a business out to make money. I notice their selection missed many good restaurants but included some that should not be there.
