Usvets--the FED has not lowered interest rates. Fast food lunch is about $10 and eggs are 2-5.00. 

Peso exchange under 17, you have to go back to fall 2015. 

When our solar inverter showed "ground fault interruption", Opiere had to replace the inverter, under warranty. This happened twice. It was a Kaco brand inverter. 

We had the setup I described thru June 2020 when we sold our home. While the OP was talking about Shaw, there are alternatives in the satelite service arena. 

For many years when we had a home in the US, we had one of our DISH receivers at our home in Ajijic and used the 8 foot dish to access the applicable satellite. No expense other than installation of the dish and occasional realignment. When we sold the US home in 2015, we used CP Electonics in Guadalajara (why not Ajijic Electronics you might ask? Long story...)and they assigned us a phantom Dish account based in NY for about $100US/mo. Later we added a smaller dish pointed SE to access DISH Mex so if it rained, it would automatically switch from the large dish (pointed SW) to the smaller one for uninterrupted service. Wonderful service from CP. 

Drive around your neighborhood and see if a utility pole is down and also see if any of your neighbors lights are on to eliminate any issues just with you.

I know Consumers Cellular didn't work in Mexico.

If you are of Medicare age, most supplements and advantaged plans will cover emergency situations outside the US if they are 90 days or less. 

Yen closed in NY trading at 150.23 yesterday as quoted in the WSJ. 

Duh, you can do this with any airline.

Dr Candy is worthless.

Violence in US cities is in the blue cities, not so much red cities. 

We were always happy with the Dish service from CP Electronics in Guadalajara. 

When we sold our home in 2020, our realtor suggested we put our RFC number on our utility bills. That plus Permante yielded no cap gains on the sale. As an aside, I have come and gone twice since then and not a glance upon presenting my passport and Res Permanent card. Passport stamped and no INM form to present. 

We always got the 4-way flu vaccine from Lydia, in the medical shop next to Vinos America.

On any of the on-demand units, it is really helpful to have a water softener to reduce or eliminate hard water deposits on the internal components.

The yen was 250 a million years ago. In the recent history, hitting 150 is new low

All are missing the real action in the currency market, that is the steady erosion of the Japanese Yen. We are knocking on the 150 door, a first in many years. Some may remember an exchange rate of 250 yen to the dollar many decades ago. 

Your age could be an issue. All the insurance we were familiar with when we there was for a 12 mo policy. I was always declined because I was on 3 blood pressure meds and I was in my low 60's. Travel policies would be the way to go. 

Tio Sams provides all the service.

They might actually pay the rent to owner as opposed to Don Pedro squatting all those years.

I would think the high cost of electricity would discourage any activity.

We had a Bosch and it worked fine. Two “D” cell batteries that I changed once a year. 

Kelton has the ribs down pat. 

Are you talking about "dusty chicken"?
