  1. Dr. Jorge Benavides. Office in Centro Medico Puerta de Hierro hospital, but also operates at least one day a week at Hospital Pedro Loza (where he did my husband's urgent surgery late 2020). FABULOUS man...excellent surgeon........ totally dedicated to patient care (many whatsapps at 10 p.m. when needed!!) Biliingual enough then..... will be even better now. Cannot say enough good things about this guy. Office 33 3848 5573/75 (can't remember if recep. is bilingual) cell 333 157 2188 Please PM me for more.
  2. But I do...... as well as some whose pay has NOT increased as mandated Jan 1 this year.
  3. You're SO right my friend. Wire transfer from Canada used to be a simple phone call from me (here) to bank (there). Not any more. Bum in seat or no dice!! That's why trusted friends (there) have signed checks on hand, and if I need a wire they make the check out to themselves, deposit, wait for it to clear, and then send me a wire from their own account.
  4. This from my sister in Canada re: a friend of hers coming in September (zero Spanish). Would you please go on Chapala.com and find out the cost of a taxi from the airport to Riberas these days? Can you just get a taxi out at the taxi stand to go to lakeside or do you have to book it somehow? I have no clue. Current info please? GRacias
  5. Pretty sure he told me when I was last there he doesn't HAVE a store.......??
  6. I really wish I could tell you for sure.... but that job was part of a bigger one involving things to do with aljibe, tinaco, pump, 2 floats.... a real mess. IF I remember correctly it was $2,500 pesos for that part. BUT.... he's a relative of a Mexican friend.... so did I benefit a little from that or not? And remember---- this aljibe is HUGE and had 2 feet of silt at the bottom so was a full day job
  7. Kirkland 18 kg bags dog food today ( 3 flavors) with signs: 2 per person only. Hhmmmmm... but I need FIVE as we go thru one bag every 9 1/2 days. Talked a man into loading 5 "Mature Dog" on my flat cart.... but he told me "they won't let you buy them at the caja". Mentally debated.... can I pull this off up front? Just then along came younger, "higher up" staff person. 💡!! Asked him... if the signs say 2 per person, and they're over each flavor, does that mean I can buy TWO blue and TWO green and ONE magenta? He got a sly grin on his face, took the 3 off cart and added other colors. Sailed thru' !!! Never underestimate the mental creativity that comes with experience in need. 🤣🤣🤣
  8. on the soccer field side.... a little below the T-intersection at the bottom of El Torito building
  9. Depending on your assets / ties to Canada you may not HAVE the option of electing to be non-resident. Gov't has a comprehensive website. Use it to determine those requirements. Then ask your questions.
  10. Watch seller/repair guy in tianguis Ajijic can do all that.... and more.
  11. Nor has it been from Day ONE.... evident to all except the one who instituted it.....
  12. Thanks amiga but I have a better and long-lasting solution once we move......😒
  13. Do yourself a BIG favor and rent for at least 6 months, but better one year. That will give you time to "learn where you are"..... and check out various areas and towns in the Lakeside vicinity. Lots of questions to ask.... things you will NEVER think of until you've been here. Send me a pm for "such as...." ( Don't want to start a public hornet's nest!) Meanwhile google rentals lake chapala area.... you'll find Facebook sites, by owner sites, Realtor sites, long term, short term etc. One real estate company had 47 listings last time I looked..... and tells if "rented", "coming up" "lease expiring", "available now" etc. plus lots of pix and info. You'll soon learn there are two camps here..... "buy" and "rent forever"........ and have had time to figure out in which you belong.
  14. Vet advises (1) not available MX and (2) would not work anyway. ONLY cables she's touched are the flat little "2 wires inside"ones less than 4 mm across (about 0.16 in) and the only ones that constantly emit a "pulse". I know from other times you believe in this product and happy it worked for you. When we move next month, I have a solution we can use once I see how the TP install is done, or else she gets fitted with a cat muzzle. 😾
  15. Please don't say this should be in Furry Friends..... those with or without pets need to see this and warn pet people/friends! 5 pm Tuesday---- TP modem suddenly totally dark. NO lights red or green. Checked all plugs / connections. Tried power off / on modem switch plus surge protector. This meant no phone, internet, wifi, or TV. OMG the sky is falling 😡 LONG talk on cell phone with tech support. Nada. Sent tech out this a.m. Answer? Darn CAT had chewed the flimsiest gauge of all the wires that connect from modem to power source (the one with the little transformer) right in half !!! Asked why she would do this... never any other wires touched. He said those wires emit a "pulse" that cats (and guessing other smallish pets etc) can sense.... it attracts them, and they get a little electric "shock" as they make the cut. Apparently they LIKE this ??? Worse yet --- same cat has already done this to two cordless phone handsets. I just had not made the connection as to wires being the same. As usual... another day, another life TECH lesson........... sigh.
  16. Maybe a visit to her clinic is in order? Might be more info posted on the door. She's WELL worth the wait (experience with 4 different "situations" over the years all excellent)
  17. Pay cash at Oxxo etc. and save yourself a lot of hassle. Purchases over $10,000 MN can be paid at Bancomer in Ajijic
  18. Ask at municipal office in Ajijic plaza.
  19. Sorry. Misunderstood. Actually that light would be a GOOD thing as getting onto the carretera from that road these days can be a real headache.
  20. Don't forget this is a long weekend.... might be why it's turned on. Seems to depend these days.
  21. Ask TotalPlay about their "step up from basic" tv package. We only have that (for news) and there's no English.... but I understand there ARE English channels in the more expensive group.
  22. Your topic heading is Costco/Amazon. They are NOT the same thing!!!
  23. People using the ATM at the WM branch were having problems too. I THINK the on-line service was super-slow.
  24. IN case anyone cares, they closed the bank section around 10:30 this morning due to CoV. Thank goddess I was already in the door.... two small but super-important things. Took until 11:30 to get that done. Lady didn't know if would re-open tomorrow and was sending desperate people to the branch at the Airport. For some reason, that one was apparently NOT going to close ?????
  25. Saw one on MercadoLibre (same machine, 2 different vendors). Suggest you also try Amazon.mx if you don't want to go to Guad.
