Thank You 

I need to buy polipac, a very thin foam to pack furniture. Anyone knows where to get in Chapala or Ajijic?

Check with DIF In chapala

As far as I know maids are paid by the day not by the hours In CDMX.the paying by the hours is a Lakeside think. We pay by the day innchiapas as well.

It is still smoking, just flee past this week

The problem is not the doctors but the lack of equipment for certain procedure and lack of money in general.

IMSs has been a disaster for the last 2 years.

A friend of mine has been waiting for 2 years for a surgery do i would not bragg about IMSs .

will they accept a u.s. credit card online,or a mexican bank atm card? Thanks!

I either paid wit My débito card from BBVA or did a Transfer , i do not remember.

You can play it on the internet and pronto the receipt, no big deal

they say febrero loco...so it is not abnormal to have out of season according to our minds in february.

In San Cristobal where we lack water Sapam said that 38 % of the water delivered is wasted.. via tap, toilets, tinaco leaks... talking about awful and they complain about Cocacola using a huge amount of water but plenty of people do not have tinaco with shutoff valves and as the water is delivered at night only the tinacos overflow on the streets on a regular basis..

How big of a container to you need for rain water?

Many people in CDMX are without water, same here in San Cristobal in Chiapas, the dam near Morelia is very low, we should be thankful for every drop of water we get .. Just try getting up and turning on the tap and nothing.. it is pretty awful.

Today I received a message that said that someone was trying to withdraw money 8700 from my account .. did I authorized or not. I saw th message 2 hours later- I said NO. turned off my cards and call the bank in Ajijic and I was told it was a scam. If you answer yes or no they have your number and try to scam you. erase the message and do not answer the phone if you answered the message.

I use the AJijic office where I have known the people there for many years. I give a deposit for the year but I do not pay the full year and pay as I go as I have a couple of meters. Once this year someone from Simapa came to my door to tell me to pay the water. I call the lady in the offfice, she gave me their account number which is at BBVA and I snet proof I have paid to her via whatsapp. The next bill showed my payment.  Maybe I got some special treatment because I have known then for a very long tome but that is how I did it. 

It pays to know the people well here 

I got 10 death certificates from the funeral Home and used about 2 or 3 

But those were the Mexican ones.I needed a few for the US and for France and the bank in the US but my experience is that many times the original death certificate was returned.

I went to Guadalajara to get an apostilled Mexican death certificates for Frame or US i do not remember.

I was reading that the population worldwide was diminishing and that except for some Arican countries, women have way less children aand that problems are looming because of that.. so the overpopulation may just be  here for just a few more years but no more..

Honeybee is correct about the glaier dwindling down and that is true in Alaska as well so there is a climate change and it is wrmng up. The cause of it if there is one is another thing that no one seems to agree on.

Yes wouldn t it be nice to have someone pay the taxes and the water and i do not mean a facilitator

Well, I just checked out all the suggested links to pay this years  predial and SImapa. I also checked the ones from last year. Sigh....None of them work. all the phones don't answer or are out of service and the links to pay on line are broken....surprised?

Its the annual cash grab free for all everyone, so be sure to pay by credit or debit card only . You need the paper trail. Simapa will probably insist once again on cash only. You can tell me the reasons why but I have my own ideas. Insist on an official factura and give them an email they can send it to. If they say they cannot give one (again), don't pay it until they do or report them to SAT.

Simapa tried once to give me a hand written 'nota'. It was either last year or the year before. At the time, I refused to pay because this is neither valid, legal, nor acceptable. If anyone tries this with you, do not give them your money. Either say you will come back when the factura's are available, or go to another office to pay who will give you the factura, and make sure to rget the name of who were talking with when you were refused a factura.

BTW, all official factura's are electronic and must be sent to your email. This is federal law. If they give you a paper copy, even if it has an official "sello digital", it is not valid. Report them to SAT. Our faliure to report these things allows the system to remain as it is. Corrupt. The SAT website does work.  https://www.sat.gob.mx/personas/otros-tramites-y-servicios

Frankly, I don't know if I should be appalled by this annual display, or embarrassed for them.

Sorry I meant to Say viva is worse.

I have not has any terrible experiences with Volaris but had Bad experiences with viva

I fly bioth a Lot to Chiapas as they have direct flights

Vivaerobus is worse

.I got scammed going through their app..so no better..

Sometimes there is no choice if airlines hate or not, i sure hate taking the bus more than volaris because it cut outs time and in my case volaris is cheaper so 26 hours bus

versus 2 hours planes ride that is also at the same price of cheaper..it is a no brainer Volaris wins every time
