  1. My bad. I assumed (wrongly?) that OP already had an account. But will say this.... the day they install you pay the installer up front, and from that moment forward you CAN create an account tho' I needed a lot of hand holding to do it.🤣
  2. Who said anything about needing the latest version? Some tech friends say the older one is better. Ethernet was how we used our old Android box. But Rich (and one more) said NOT to go that route as FS works better on wifi. Glad to see you're still your usual snarky & judgmental self. 🤣.Easy for some is not possible in this lifetime for others. AND FYI Rich does a LOT more than simply load what you want onto the Firestick. But since you're so much smarter than the rest of us, you don't need to know.
  3. then sign in to "MiCuenta" and elect for an on-line chat.... available in English at your option. I've used it a lot in the last 3 weeks and find it invaluable.
  4. We recently changed to TotalPlay fibre optic line from Telmex land line (we owned it), internet/wifi (for MUCH faster, better speed), and basic mexican channels (for Guad news only). We DO own a Firestick for all the channels and more than you are getting from Shaw. Another solution is to upgrade to their English channels... something we didn't need.... but a friend has that. While you can't import the Firestick model required (Mexico won't allow Amazon to ship) , Rich Guarino (THE firestick guy) often has some to sell. And he will do all the setup needed for that portion and teach you to use it for a MOST reasonable price. TotalPlay does all the rest. The process was pretty mind-boggling for me ( SO not a tech person) but after 2 weeks had my head well wrapped around it and after 3 am totally sold. NO buffering with 40 mgb but 100 and more are available if wanted. You can opt for any or all of the services mentioned. If you send me a pm with email address I'll send you 2 1/2 pages I put together for me and others re: same.
  5. Talk directly to whichever bus lines you are considering. I doubt they will allow her inside, but that's the only way for you to be sure.
  6. More Liana NICE to see you back! You haven't been around lately and I've been wondering and hoping you were OK. Saludos from my cats to your cats. 😻 I know this is not on topic.... so to those who "care"... shoot me!
  7. Yes, you are. In the sense that they DID meet in person until pandemic rules took over. Being the professional person that she is, Valerie would have changed the manner in which meetings are conducted until such time as person to person meetings are once again considered safe for all.
  8. Not everyone has the budget for, nor your confidence in, SAT hospital..... not in their surgeon either.
  9. As you already know, from previous pm's, I have ceramic-titanium because metal allergy would not tolerate stainless steel. And yes, you can have MRI with this one (have done so). They also come in pure ceramic, but are the most expensive of all, and my surgeon and I agreed not worth the extra cost. Can't speculate on that particular branch of Cruz Verde. DO know that a Mexican friend needed care after severe accident (hit by drunk driver) and went 3 times for appt. at one of their locations (can't remember which one) , only to wait a long time and find out doctor was not coming that day. HOPE this doesn't happen to you! Good luck!
  10. "Lucky Dog" shelter.... east of Chapala on the road to San Nicolas etc. They have many more small dogs than large ones...The Ranch is far better equipped for the big guys. Sorry but you'll have to google a contact.
  11. Sonia would have been able to answer this in a heartbeat. Pretty sure 2005 is now to old to be allowed even IF met the other requirements. OR.... is this just "old lady brain" in action again? 🤪
  12. NOT a municipal right to enact such a law. Belongs with the state. For all I know there may BE such a state requirement, but.........
  13. This BRAVE man elected to commit suicide in order to protect others. I for one fervently hope his family are told what an honourable route he chose, and praise is given where due. It was not his fault the brakes failed. But he still had "options" and chose the best-worst available.
  14. Have used that place for decades.... but today was not open (arrived after 10 a.m.). Anybody know anything? Thanks in advance.
  15. Andy.... blocked thanks to your instructions.. Thanks again
  16. Is Citronox effective against flies on a covered outdoor terraza? They're causing big problems with one of our dog's ears.
  17. OK.... you've attracted my curiosity. WHAT is H24 and what do you use it for ..... and where ?
  18. (1) What is the purpose of opening ---- keep "emergency" money here, or bring quite a large amount? (Will help with your decision.) (2) How do you propose to fund this account ...... eg I cannot send a wire transfer from Canada because I'd have to be bum-in-seat at my Canadian branch to sign. Therefore have to have trusted Canadian friend complete signed cheeks left with her to do it for me. (3) IF you go with Intercam, Multiva, and Lloyds Actinver (none my choice) be very sure you understand ramifications of various accounts including taxes, guarantee on deposits, etc. They'll try to sneak that part past you. (4) Bancomer not my choice due to difficult access, but I know several who use that branch. (5) Currencies of many kinds are really bouncing around right now. Suggest you steer well clear of keeping a large amount in Mexico. (6) Tho' DO have Mx bank, find it better to use ATM's to withdraw largest amount possible (depends on your foreign bank) from time to time and make minimal use of Mx bank. This of course is one person's opinion.... no need for castigation on that point.
  19. Specifics: (1) They use what they are given for Chapala. (2) NO choice. (3) Pfizer will never be in Chapala.... not possible here to maintain low temps required (4) NO to doctor's offices.
  20. What a doll! At my limit (4 indoor 24/7 ) and they've told me 5 is NOT a number they like. But I suggest if you have access to Facebook you put her there too. Apparently it is quite successful. And best of luck to BOTH of you
