Thanks - good suggestion.  If all else fails, we will try them.

For stronger boxes, use the global standard....go to the liquor store!     

Thanks, but the boxes that hold 6 wine bottles are much too small - we need something larger.  Went to Walmart today and was told "NO" but with no explanation that I could understand.  I thought a big-box store would be a good bet, but no.

Does anyone know where I can get free decent size boxes for moving, e.g.  Walmart ??

Don was the epitome of a kind, warm gentleman and we will miss seeing him on our regular malecon walks.  It is such a loss personally and for the whole community who knew him.

Does anyone have any information of where, when and which vaccines will be offered in Lakeside?

If you have them done by a makeup artist they will look natural. They will mix colors so you will get the look you want. I had mine done and eyeliner as well. Never regretted it. Sometimes the tattoo artists go too heavy.

Sounds good - did you have your eyebrows done in Ajijic - I certainly wouldn't want them to look ridiculous or conspicuous.

Does anyone know why they are digging up a large section of the Carretera where the bicycle path is between Revolution and the Libriamento?  Are they laying new pipes or cables or what?

Any timeline for completion of whatever it is?

I know this may be a boring subject but come on guys - somebody out there must know of a water heater repair man - pretty please and thank you.

We have a very temperamental water heater with a mind of its own.  Can somebody please recommend a person to fix it?  Thanks.

Where is Seguro Popular in Ajijic, please.  Do you need appt. and do you know the hours?  Thanks.

 

As I understand it, it's illegal to Fedex it over the border.  And it's definitely illegal to cross the border with it.

Actually, it's much more than a side dish, or simply a substitute for potatoes or some other starch. It's a complete protein.

I used to eat barley and then read that quinoa was more healthy, so I switched over although I actually prefer the taste of barley.  But if you can find organic or mixed quinoa (red, black and white) it's actually pretty tasty as long as you prepare it properly.

Thank you for excellent input.  I'm now back at Lakeside and here's an update. 

On August 28  I began taking cannabis oil and by my return on October 16 (with a dosage of 2 ml twice a day) I unfortunately had got no relief from my pain.  After so many good reports from people, I was really disappointed especially since I've  been living with chronic pain for over 3 years and it's really wearing me down.

So what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for others.  Back to the drawing board - damn it !!

Well you guys don't know how to cook quinoa.

Simmer it for about 20 minutes with chicken broth or consomme, and then add black ground pepper, a little salt and mixed herbs - and voila, you have a tasty nutritious side dish that you can have instead of potatoes or be added to salads.  Don't judge it by its appearance.

I have seen red ,white and black at the Granero lady by Gossips. Check back with her. 

Thanks to all.  I did want to find some locally so I will definitely check back with the Granero lady.

I found white Quinoa in bulk on the Carretera next to Gossips but it was rather bland.

I'm looking for something more interesting and tasty like mixed or red quinoa.  I did find small pre-packaged quinoa in SuperLake but it was too expensive.  Does anyone know where I can find some, please?

Thank you for the website.  Have you ordered from them and is there any English translation?  Rony says it costs $3,500 pesos - sounds pretty rich.  Does this include shipping and how long does it take to arrive?

I ordered CBD oil in June of 2015 from the U.S.  It got here the third week in September of 2015. The point being that it CAN be ordered and received but I wish I'd chosen a courier for delivery. As far as I know, there is nobody TESTING for content in Mexico so I'm not sure how you get what you're ordering. It's a crap shoot.

 

Wow, 3 months is a long wait.  How did you select a supplier and what were the prices like?  If it can be ordered from the U.S. you'd think I could get it from Canada as well.

Thanks.

Arjay I sent them a message on facebook for their contact info. I'll send you a message when I get the info.

 

Many thanks, WideSky.  I'm not on Facebook and don't want to be, so if there's another way to contact them it would be most helpful.

There are a couple of people from GDL that come and sell cbd oil lakeside. Might be an idea to contact them. Need to join FB as that is where the post when they will be in the area.

 

Can you please tell me what FB is and how I join.  Do you have any idea of prices?

I have recently begun taking cannabis oil for pain control and feel that it's beginning to help.  It's legal in Canada and also in Mexico but illegal to take it across the border.

Can someone please let me know if I can get a prescription from my local GP in Ajijic and where I can buy the oil, including the 1:1 drops which is equal amounts of CBD and THC.

Is there an online supplier in Mexico the same as in Canada?  Obviously I want to be sure I'm buying good quality, safe cannabis.

Any info would be much appreciated and serious replies only, please.

Many thanks.

FYI, I went to WalMart this afternoon and asked for a decongestant in Spanish and they said they didn't have any. Really, a pharmacy with NO decongestants - is it a banned substance or something?

Wow, Suegarn, thanks for all that info - that's very helpful and I'll keep it on file.

Don't suppose it anyone knows if Coricidin HBP is available here, or an equivalent (it's a decongestant that's supposed to be safe for people with thyroid disorders). Thanks.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I saw a link some time ago for a list of medication names in the U.S. and Canada and their equivalents names in Mexico. I'm actually looking for over-the-counter, not just prescription drugs.

Can anyone provide me with a list or link, please. Thanks.
