I have had my SS direct deposited into my Actinver account for many years.  Never have had a problem with that institution.

The address Ferret gave is the same place I use.  Very reliable.  Reasonable delivery fee.

What is an INE card and where would  you get one?

P.S. on Actinver:  There are plenty of English speakers working there.

I'm about to decide on opening an account with either Actinver or HSBC to recieve my monhly SS deposit. Any person preferences on which to choose? It must have easy access to parking, because of my difficulty in walking to and fro.

Actinver  has worked out for our SS deposits for many years.  The parking lot in front usually has space unless you go at a busy time of day. 

I suggest Daniel Jackson,  jeweler, in Ajijic

My calendar says it's Dec. 12th

Thanks.  I'll get better ear plugs next year.🙃

Is it my imagination, or are there more "cojetes" this year than usual?  This morning it went on for over an hour.   What's happening?

I signed a contact with San Javier Funeral Home  - very easy and at the time the best price - plus if you decide to leave the area the plan is transferrable
contact is Ramiro  333 555 2084   33 2272 3549    earlier this year was 13400 p

My hearing loss makes telephone contact unworkable.  Do  you have an email address?

I hear that there is a funeral home in Chapala which does Cremations.

I would like information on how to contact them by email in order to ask questions about costs and arrangements.  Anyone?

Just a little bit past the Tuesday market and cemetery on the mountain side. Pedros used to sell hamburgers there is you remember them. Some 4 or 5 low steps to get in on the veggie side, but also a ramp (a tad too steep for those who need one, IMHO). The Costco side is easier to access.

My husband just reminded me of why we don't go there.  Difficult access for those with locomotion problems.  The one on the East side would be better.

Where is the HOLA market on the West side?  Before or after Poncho's?

There is a vision place on the second floor of the San Antonio Hospital campus west side. There is an elevator. Perhaps they can help you. 

I would prefer the place on the strip near the phone company.  End of line East, mountain side.

So what we need is the menu for the LCS restaurant, si?  Anyone have one?

gringal--can you tell us some of what's on the menu?

I had a huge turkey and melted cheese sandwich on a dark rye bread; spouse had fajitas.  Price for both around $300. Couldn't find a menu for this location on the web but the menu for the other location is on Google.

Spouse and I had lunch there today.  Reasonable prices, generous portions, pleasant environment and service.  I had a turkey and cheese sandwich and had to take half home. Very good food. Four stars!!

I look forward to Gringal's restaurant review.  🙂

Thought I'd wait a week to let it shake down and then try it for lunch.  Review coming! 

The comments about "losing charm" leave me laughing.  🙃

It's next door to the Farmacia.  Usually plenty of parking.

What is the name of the shop?  Looks like there may be two there.

When my spouse and I went to a Chapala attorney after 5 years to obtain Mexican citizenship, we went through all the hoops to accomplish it, but he never mentioned that we needed to speak Spanish at the final step.  Due to a number of factors beyond our control, we were not adept enough and our expense and time were in vain.  Be aware of this.

There are two Fresh Markets:  One West of Ajijc and another on the East.  Same goods.

I've had that salad quite a few times, and yes, it's done the classy way and is delicious!

The other seafood isn't exciting like the salmon.  And  yes, there aren't many people dining there, though the food is much better than most places, and the prices are reasonable.  Why? Dunno.🙃

I agree that's quite a markup but keep in mind that WalMart has their own products made to their specifications and that quality control is very low on the list. I figure I pay a bit more even though the increased bug parts per million from WalMart probably do add a little protein. 

We went to Pancho's in Riberas a year or so ago and ordered salmon and salad. It wasn't inexpensive. Got a decent but not generous portion of fish and a few lettuce leaves with a couple of cherry tomatoes. No rice, no bread. Haven't gone back.

You want a very good salmon dinner for way under 300 pesos?  Comes with choice of baked potato or mashed, veggies and toasted small bread basket.  El Ancla, in the mini mall west of the new Pancho's.
