  1. Of course they won't.... just another in the string who come out here from the city looking for the BIG gringo bucks
  2. If I were in Canada ( or going) I'd open a Scotia account just for that purpose.... EXCEPT they don't have a Scotia/Inverlat branch out here, and I'm not willing to open an account in GUAD on this end.
  3. Drove past on the lateral this morning.... front doors open and appeared to be 3 machines in use. No place to park so did not stop.
  4. That actually worked for a friend with dogs in the yard backing on to HER back yard. Owner had the nerve to state she didn't hear them from HER house becasue the other yard was long and deep, and the dogs were jumping up at my friend's rear wall. Lakeside 7: PLEASE don't suggest poison. Terrible death.... and it's not the dogs' fault, but their insensitive owners.
  5. It would be nice if they had the courtesy to notify local clients. Wait---- what am I saying??? This IS HSBC, one of the worst banks here in that aspect!🤪
  6. Maybe he's planning on a nurse with a purse? Wouldn't be the first time around here.......
  7. HOPE not "forever"..... don't like them as a bank, but closest bank of any variety to our house for keeping some emergency funds (medical etc). Please nobody suggest CiBanco..... not a "real" bank and their ratings suck, nor are we interested in Multivalores, Intercam, or Actinver..
  8. Not your question, but have to ask. Have you considered "I V (intravenous) Sedation" instead of full general anaesthetic? I had the former for some complex dental work in late 1980's in Canada....... anaesthetist came to my dentist's office and remained during the procedure, regulating the flow to keep me "out enough to feel nothing but not as "out cold" as a general would have done, and which poses its own inherent dangers.
  9. The Drs. Ladron built their own a crematorium right beside Lucky Dog shelter (east of Chapala). I THINK they serve other local vets, but not sure. Two cats done there in recent years.
  10. Me too.... but in my case would be a cat... or 2... or more
  11. Care for dementia patients does NOT cost more here than for similar care in the north, unless said person can fit into "low income" NOB categories AND can outlast the very long wait-list for those places. That said, your friend might need someone experienced from NOB to intercede in this case, because any care home worth being in cannot afford to keep an individual with dementia if that's all income the person has.
  12. José Luis (El Vaquero) in San Antonio has made screen doors for us in 3 different houses with 2 different types of screens. Excellent work and not a bug in the house... ever. Please pm me for more details. Call him (pasable English) 333-465 5175
  13. And nobody besides me wonders why you NEED a revolver... never mind the quick-draw holster????
  14. yes... I meant a whatsapp message (he can read when he wants to) OR a whatsapp voice message that he can open and listen to, again at his option
  15. Me either but you might have a friend who does, and could search on your behalf? Apparently there is also a Wanted/For Sale/ Rental/ and one more ?? on TOB.
  16. He was at my house Sept 2 and said he's been really really busy. When he first ever came here he gave cell no. and email, but also said "Best way to reach me is on messenger or whatsapp." (Dummy me---- don't know what or how to use messenger.) He also has a FB page: Rich Richie OR RichInMexico (don't do FB either). Have you tried whatsapp? He did tell me if he's busy with a client he doesn't answer the phone (how polite and considerate) but you could try a whatsapp message OR a whatsapp voice call??. Good luck with one or more of these if you didn't already have all.
  17. Taken directly from Amazon U.S. order... technical details MY MODEL: ****************************************************************************************************** System Requirements: High definition television with available high-speed HDMI input, high-speed internet connection via WI-FI TV Compatibility: TV must support minimum HDCP requirements for protected content playback. Compatible with 1) 4K ultra high-definition TVs with HDMI capable of 2160p at 24/25/30/50/60 Hz and HDCP 2.2 or 2) high-definition TVs with HDMI capable of 1080p or 720p at 50/60 Hz. ******************************************************************************************************* You will note HDMI and WI-FI specified. And at no place elsewhere in these specs does it offer the option of using ethernet. And with this info....I'm DONE here.
  18. You would likely be mistaken. Rich has been THE go-to guy for FIresticks around here for a while and has a solid reputation. (Something I can't say for Gadget Guy IMO ) MY FIrestick instructions specifically say to use HDM1 WIFI.... with or without extender. Can't speak to yours. Is being so constantly contentious in your genes or???
  19. Ken, if you "do" Facebook try that. Apparently several lakeside-area locations/groups within re: Ajijic rentals.
  20. When my install was done, the Installer who came was bilingual (sort of......). He wrote his cellphone number on the box and said "call ME if you have any problems. Well, I wasn't all that fussy about his attitude so instead, when I wanted my 2nd TV installed after all, I did a request on line with MiCuenta. And who showed up at the door.? ..... same guy LOL LOL LOL (we've now resolved our differences I think). Conclusion (?) IF Luis is an installer, he might have to go thru' office for OS (ordén de servicio) but that's what I had done, and it still kicked back to Uzziel. If Luis is a sales guy, then yes... he should be able to help. At least that's my present (ever-changing) understanding of this whole system
  21. (1) Yes... FIRESTICKS specifically. That's what he said the day he installed mine and I had the ethernet cable right there, expecting that's what he was going to use. He declined that option. (2) NO... he has never avoided any question I throw at him and is always more than patient as he explains stuff. (3) You would have to ask Rich the basis for his comment / belief. When I asked for his input before gettng TP he told me 100 mgb was what he has in his own house to be sure FS via wifi is the best he can get. But he also said he has clients with 40 and it was working for them so I could go ahead and start with that. AFTER TP install, he came to fix a few FS glitches ...... still never a mention of changing to direct connection. (4) My ethernet Cat 6 cable was practically brand new, well placed and protected, and NOT damaged in any way.
  22. Not wanting to argue .... but as I've stressed many times before, NOT a techie.... so must trust those who are. I had an android box and yes, worked better (until it croaked) with ethernet connection than wifi. But when I first got the Firestick it was Rich aka Mr. Firestick (and one other) who both told me NOT to use that same ethernet cable for the Firestick. In those days we still had Telmex, with lousy download speed where we live. FIrestick via wifi worked well but buffering had gotten worse recently, provoking the change to TotalPlay for their faster speed....... because more speed NOT available to us from Telmex for any price. But hey..... what do I know?
  23. Well perhaps it boils down to what's supporting your ethernet cable. Telmex lousy wifi speed (depending if you can get better service from them where you live)., or better source by other means?
  24. Dog walking Wife: "Where did you take the dog yesterday when you went out with your drinking buddies?" Husband: "The regular places.... why?" Wife: "She's acting different...."
