I will be returning to Ajijic in mid November after having had 8 spinal fusions (from T10 to S1) and will need an excellent physical therapist with experience treating this type posy surgery. Please send me any recommendations and/or references.

Does anyone have a Shaw 630 receiver in good condition that they would want to sell? Mine has become extremely erratic when playing back my recorded programs which I am afraid means I need a new receiver. Please contact me at jbrickman@mac.com or 376-766-3420. Thank you!

Can anyone give me a current phone number for Smart Home? They are no longer at the Librimento shopping area and I cannot find a way to get in touch with them. If anyone can provide a current phone number and/or address I would really appreciate it!

Is anyone in the Lakeside area interested in sharing their Shaw TV with me? I live in upper Ajijic and have the receiver but am not Canadian and would like to find someone who would be willing to add me to their account. If you are interested I can be reached at 331-746-1288 or jbrickman@mac.com

My husband is interested in playing chess. I there still a chessboard set up in the plaza? He would be interested in joining a chess club as mentioned above. How would he get in touch with Chuni?

I am going to have back surgery in mid-July. Does anyone know where I can buy a toilet seat riser and a “grabber” to pick up clothes, etc.

I would like to know if anybody knows of a "true" gardener in the Lake Chapala area - someone who does not just mow your grass, but knows how to trim flowering plants like geraniums and also hibiscus. If you have one and he has time, I would also like to know what he charges per hour. Thank you for any suggestions!

I am looking for a GOOD chiropractor here at Lakeside. Are there any? And I also would like to know if there is a GOOD physical therapist here as well. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Just as a warning to all! I was in my car outside of Benno's Computer on the Librimento waiting for my husband. I had the windows open because it was warm outside and was reading my email on my cell phone. A Mexican man came up to me on the driver's side and pointed to some keys on the ground next to my car and asked if they were mine. I opened the car door to pick them up and said they were not mine. My wallet was on the passenger side floor mat sitting up next to the divider. While I was distracted picking up the keys another person apparently reached in the window and stole my wallet (they were not my keys!) Lesson learned - never have your windows opened when driving or parked and always have your car locked whether you are in it or not! These were very experienced thieves looking for an opportunity. Within 15 minutes they had gone to Chapala and used my Mexican bank debit card to the tune of 18,000+ Mexican at Soriana's. Mexican banks do not refund money when your card is used. So take heed!

Does anyone know of someone in the Lakeside area that I can contact to have my patio and terrace power-washed?

We are considering using Smart Home to set up a security system at our home, including motion sensors and window contacts. There would be a horn outside which would blare for two minutes and a call to the company. I have heard that you do not want the police to come (not trustworthy?) but someone from the company. Presumably the horn would scare a thief anyway. But my main question is - has anyone used Smart Home and therefore have an opinion on the efficiency and trustworthiness of the company?

Thank everyone for your help. I did get someone to come out and the contacts to the dish had gotten some dirt inside. He replaced the contacts and all is working fine.

Does anyone have a Shaw satellite dish for sale? I have the receiver but right now the network is down and in speaking with others who are on the same account who are getting reception, I am wondering if I need a new satellite dish.

Does anyone know of a service lakeside that will respond to a pendant or wrist button? In the U.S. there is "Life Lock" where a single older person can wear something that allows him or her to seek immediate help if he cannot get to his phones, such as if he takes a fall, has a heart attack, or some other medical emergency, by pressing the button on the pendant or wrist. Is such a service available here?
