  1. Let's see, as of last Thursday, the USD was up 2.6% vs Canada, unchanged against the MXN, up 11.9% vs Euro, up 18.1% vs Yen and up 12.5% vs UK pound.
  2. We always had homeowners insurance, mainly for any instance of a employee being injured on the job.
  3. Make sure you have a good GPS, like Garmin, that has maps of "north america" which means Canada, US and Mexico.
  4. Make sure you have the a/c on. That is what removes moisture from the car. Also, it is best to run the a/c at least twice a week, cool in summer and warm in winter, to make sure the internal parts of the compressor stay lubricated.
  5. Why don't you look at the posts about cartel activity in that area. Not exactly appropriate for a "single senior female". IMHO
  6. 12 years ago when we had a US plated car, this car was totaled in an accident by a truck owned by Galvez Construction. Our insurance agent was Parker. The claim was professionally handled and we had our money within 30 days. We also got our import sticker back along with a letter from the insurance company taking responsibility for owning the car. When we first drove down to Ajijic in 2008, we took out insurance with Sanborn.
  7. We got ours via iShop for a brief while. The problem we had was financial in nature. Most all my prescriptions were generic and the invoice showed zero cost to me however, Mexican customs applied some kind of value to them and I had to pay duty on them. We quit doing that and went back to what we were doing prior, that is, ordering refills to be sent to our daughters house in the US and letting them accumulate there until we visited or she visited us.
  8. I see you have been drinking Biden's coolaid.
  9. Then you will have to go to somewhere in the US to get it notarized.
  10. For 2 years when we were in Ajijic, I jumped through all the hoops to be a driver with Uber. The only ride I accepted was all over Ajijic's cobblestones for the whopping fare of $60p, a little over $2us(17 exchange rate). Wasn't worth beating up my new car. A fare to the airport was about $250p. I suspect that is why after 4 years when I was doing it, there are still no Uber drivers lakeside. The driver had to have a car less than 3 years old. Proof of insurance, etc etc. The compensation isn't worth it.
  11. We always bought appliances from Tio Sam's. LG has some of the highest rated washers and dryers and refrigerators. Samsung not so much. GE in the middle. This from Consumer's Reports. Newer LG french door refrigerators have "craft ice" ice makers that make round ice cubes.
  12. Up until two years ago, we always parked on the 3rd level, roof, of the main garage and it was a little over $100p per 24 hrs.
  13. Like everywhere. Get in your car and go look for them.
  14. It was a lot easier to have someone like Spencer get our RFC numbers. It was more difficult to get CFE to add it to our "profile".
  15. Is this a second location, the original store just west of Vinos America?
  16. I echo the pink Posada. Easy to find on-line.
  17. Remember when Bruno was minding the place, you could go in and every table had a reserve sign on it? You'd ask and he said sit anywhere and he has the signs up so if someone he doesn't like comes in, he could say all the tables are reserved!
  18. Damn shame. Best steaks and bake potatoes lakeside by a large margin.
  19. Try the guys across from Vinos America. Quality work. English spoken.
  20. Liverpool or Costco Mexico (has over a dozen sets like you specify).
