     I got a Mexican driver's license.  Never went to Guad. Never took a test.  Paid a service fee to someone who handled all of it and delivered the license to me within a day.  If you want referral, then PM me.

    I know someone who did that and when they were pulled over discovered it was a fake and had to pay a fine.

  2. Dr. Joe Crowe has a well documented coronary heart disease reversal on clinical record.   Google Dr Joe Crowe Dr Esselstyn to see before and after pics of his artery.  

    Eating vegan for some people just isn’t going to happen but it will reverse coronary heart disease no matter what your age.  

    All the stents, bi passes, pacemakers, valve replacements and clips won’t add any  more time to your life, that’s what the doctors say.  It won’t prolong your life, just make it a little more comfortable to continue doing what your doing to have coronary heart disease.  Keep eating your dairy and meat.  MD have no cures, just mask the symptoms.  Until you stop eating what makes you sick you won’t reverse anything.  Genetics have very little to do with any disease.    10 months-1 year on a vegan diet verses cutting my chest in 1/2...I’ll take the vegan diet.  Doesn’t take long to start feeling better.

    also look up Dr Ellsworth Wareham, a renowned cardiac surgeon and longtime vegan. 

    Geez, even Bill Clinton did it ya’ll..

  3. So much to look at regarding anxiety and depression.  I hope you would consider fixing the problem rather than medicating it.  It's rough trying to medicate. 

    Parathyroid gland controls whether we feel depression

    Which means the pituatary gland could be down

    Check the colon

    Anxiety is controled by the adrenal glands.

    i've had my own fair share of trauma and trying to deal with anxiety and depression.  Working to fix the glands that are down has been the most successful thing I could have done for myself.  I was just saying to my husband today that this is the first summer in years that I can recall me not feeling depressed after several cloudy days during our rainy season.  What's made the difference?  I worked on all my "stuff" years ago but I needed my physical body to get onboard.   Over the past year I've used bovine glandulars.  Most recently used parathyroid glandular.  i'm off of it, you can only take them from 1-3 months at time and maybe need to repeat 6 months later.  I have no depression, in fact, I'm thoroughly enjoying our rainy season ❤️⛈☔️  I also have been cleaning from the inside out with a new lifestyle of aka detoxificacion.  Made night and day difference.  If you're interested in more information about it, send me a pm and I'll do the best I can to help.  Pharmaceuticals are a mess and won't cure anything.  I had some mental health issues in my 20's and the md's and physiatrist had me trying all kinds of meds back then, literally felt like my brain was frying, awful.  Why didn't those Md's tell me I it was the birth control pills that were causing my problems and get me off of their meds?  I was fortunate to learn from a friend, get away from meds.   I have to deal with PTSD and doing well pharmacutical free! 

    Best well wishes!

  4. I don't believe in big pharma, or pharmaceutical technicians and I won't be duped.   I do believe in a good surgeon and ER for broken bones etc.   I'll send you a pm.  Maybe we could meet up for tea.  I've been fruitarian raw vegan since January along with taking herbs and glandulars.  I'm not into isolates.  A lot of people have noticed I'm on my way to Wellville as I eat my fresh fruit.    

    For those not educated about healthcare,

    There's an informative film streaming for free called, "Bought." Worth the time to watch it if you're one not aware.  Pharmaceutical drugs don't cure anything, they only treat symptoms and cause more problems, they're acidic and we need to be base/alkaline.   If you're interested in reversing sickness, you can unless you wait too long to do anything about it.  Even late stage patients can improve their quality of life by eating raw fruit.

  5. my other 1/2 bought a decent looking used car a few months ago. He was pulled over in Tlajolmulco for having a cover on the license plate. I was sitting in the car trying not to be nervous when my husband took out a screw driver and took the license plate cover off. Apparently, his vehicle could legally be impounded for having the cover because it could possible distort the letters and numbers. The officer asked what he was doing? My husband said he tries to teach others to do what is right and if a cover on his car is wrong, he's going to take it off. The officer shook his hand and we came home.

  6. hmm, I've been driving in Mexico for 11 years, 9 years lakeside and last Wednesday I was talking on my cell phone while passing Soriana and got pulled over. I was like duh! Normally I at least have a head set for my cell phone but for some reason didn't have it with me and was making way too many plans while on the phone. I deserved a ticket. Cop came to the door, I exclaimed, "oh my goodness, I was talking on my cell phone and completely forgot what I was doing, I need a ticket...this is my first time ever being pulled over!" He asked for my license and registration. He asked how long I've lived here. Asked if it was my first time being pulled over here, "yes, first time!" I answered. I asked for my ticket, I was at fault. He refused me my ticket. I said, "but you need the money." and insisted he give me one. He said it wasn't that much and it was his job to keep me safe and give me a warning.

  7. WELL! Today I was placing an order online with Superama. My wife the bread maker asked for a couple of bags of Tres Estrellas flour. I discovered that in the online flour 'aisle', Superama offers Le 5 Stagioni 00 pizza flour. I googled around and discovered that its protein percent is 11.5 or higher. Wife wants to try it, so I ordered a kilo.

    Mexman, you might want to check it out. http://www.superama.com.mx Click on the DESPENSA tab, then the HARINAS category is on the bottom line, third from the right. Click on 'De Trigo'. Then on the left you'll see brand names; just look for Le 5 Stagioni and put a check mark in the box.

    Wow, what a great lead! Love this info... one 00 flour only has 10% protein content, one 11%, one 11.5%, one 14% http://www.le5stagioni.it/en-US/products.aspx how is one going to decide which protein content makes the best pizza?

    I don't have a big need to rush out and get this brand when I'm good with what I already found.

  8. I can see that now Lori. This company is very large, and offer seven types of flour. One of them specifically for pizza.

    http://www.munsa.com.mx/producto.php?prid=6

    The flatbread dough is rising now - let me know if you want one to sample. Are you gluten free? - I might cheat a little bit and roll out the dough with a bit of wheat flour, or I could give you some raw dough and brown rice to grind into flour.

    Was this addressed to me? I apologize Chillin and I'm not sure who you are behind your screen name. Are you in the bread baker's group on fb?

  9. Mexman, don't be so hard on yourself but you'll do what you want.

    What would be fun to do is get a bag of Caputo 00 flour, which just means it's extra finely ground flour, yes I know where Caputo comes from and I'm aware of the protein content ranging 11-13+%. So which Caputo 00 is going to be considered the best flavored, the best flour? There's several brands of Caputo 00. So we get a small bag of the flour from say, Superlake or Superama. And then have a pizza throw down between a Caputo 00 flour and the extra fine pizza flour at Sam's Club. Protein 11.5% Did you try it?

    If there's anyone that wants to make authentic Italian pizza, it's me, I love making pizza from scratch. I went and spent a little bit of time with an Italian, from Italy, who owns and operates a pizza restaurant with a wfo. He put my mind at ease about the stress of finding the Caputo 00 flour because the flavor develops more from the fermentation, don't we know. Granted, I've tasted flours that I didn't care for but I think you'll like the flour at Sams Club if you'd give it a chance. If not, have your friend bring you a bag of Caputo 00, you can order on Amazon and hopefully they'll be no problems at the border. It'll be an expense but if that's the hassle you want.

    maybe this will help you relax a little: caputo 00 flour protein content 11%, so what's to say 11.5% isn't good enough if it's ground 00(extra fine)

    Mexman, if you're who I think you are, I've tasted your pizza crust, I wouldn't fret about it but do get a bag of Caputo 00 and have some made from that so you can say that you did. Aside from an amateur like me, no one will ever ask you if you're using Caputo 00 flour.

    The other thing that I understand is Caputo 00 has a higher gluten content, which I have yet to read the gluten content on any flour bag aside from the Italian flours. Which is one of the reasons I think people base their thinking on the protein content. Anyway, I've added gluten flour to my doughs, why not add gluten flour to pizza dough? Then I always wonder how much?

    To me, learning how to bake in the wfo is still something I'd like to master, I don't have buffalo cheese but still am told my pizza is the best. Are you going to get a buffalo to make the fresh cheese or will cow's milk do? ;)

  10. We built our pool two years ago and installed an EcoSmarte water purification system and are very happy with swimming in drinking water. If anyone is interested, you can send me a p.m. for more info about that. We also opted for PebbleTec finish vs a tile. There's only one certified Pebble Tec dealer in Mexico and they're based in Puerto Vallarta but travel all over MX installing, it was worth it.

  11. I called Maria Teresa early Saturday morning on her cell phone asking if she could see me before Christmas? A couple of hours later I text her and we texted back and forth. She decided to work today, Sunday, because she's so busy on Monday. 3 p.m. I went to my hair appointment today, the Sunday before Christmas. Let me say that she's going to be a hit here for sure...a keeper. Believe me, who doesn't love feeling a bit sassy after a great hair cut? I told my husband it was the best Christmas present I could have gotten this year. My hairstyle is a graduated A line bob. I said to her that I imagine she's cut a few of those haircuts. She sweetly replied that it's a very basic and first haircut taught at Vidal Sassoon. Well, I can't say for another style but this girl(yo) with low density fine hair has her sas back after that cut and is pretty much giddy about it. The cowlick, which most of the population of the world has one or two, is not a problem any longer. The salon is classy and well lit. She is very attentive. When a beautician is busy and has great hair herself, that's a real good sign.

    The land line is being repaired tomorrow hopefully but by all means, call her cell phone. She's very pleasant, likes being punctual, bi lingual, kind, not pushy, loves working and definitely gifted at it. Best of all she understands fine hair. A few years ago, there was another Vidal Sassoon stylist that used to cut our hair for a small fortune per cut...there were plenty of us that were willing to pay that and it was bit of a hardship for me at the time but I went on occasion. We all had great hair then too! I know some of those same clients have found their way to Maria Teresa as she said she's been incredibly busy. I'll gladly pay 300 pesos for a cut from her.

  12. I had a cut a couple of days ago and was once again completely discouraged...the graduated A line bob isn't graduated high enough to give that poof in the crown that we all love. Well, after sharing some pictures with a niece hairstylist in the states, she gave me the correct terminology and I found some tutorials on youtube in hopes to possibly fix it myself. Whatever I was doing and learned 5 years ago just wasn't working anymore. Could you imagine that maybe product and technique was the problem? Yes, the cut still isn't exactly like the picture I took in but it's a heck of a lot better than before I watched the tutorial. So, thought I'd post the tutorial for some of our lakeside ladies who don't like to back comb and still need body in the crown. Places like Sally's Beauty Supply in Guadalajara sell the product that you may be looking for to give you fuller looking hair. I just didn't realize that what I was doing wasn't right for the style. I have extremely fine low density hair and now look like I have a full head of hair again...no shame. The gal in the tutorial has 3 colors in her hair, which make it even easier to follow her "lines" while styling. It's good enough that maybe I'll go back to have another haircut where I've been going but am willing to try another Vidal Sassoon stylist for sure! If the cut can be easier to style, less fuss, that's what I'm looking for. I think even the gal that's been cutting it would be shocked to see how good my hair looks because she can't finish style it for nothing...I always walk out anxious to get home and do it myself.
