I purchased it a while ago at Walmart.  cacao sin azúcar or cacao in polvo sin azucar

Thank you.

Does anyone know where I could find unsweetened cocoa powder in Ajijic?

Just got the replacement for my stolen driver's license. The medical certificate from the Clinica in Ajijic was rejected. Cruz Roja was easy.

Thank you very much.

Does anybody know if the med exam for drivers 75 and older has gone into effect and if so, where does one have to go to get the exam?

He did not say the police observed then getting out of the car and later ticked the car. Anywhere in the world they require a permit to park in those spaces. The policeman followed the law. He was lucky the fine was so small. In many countries the fine would have been hundreds of dollars and possibly a tow bill. 

The fine actually turned out to be $481

I have every emphy for Kemezer but it was a infraction,  I am surprised that the Transio took the license plate. That was a practice the police did many years ago. Was it a MX plated car?

South Dakota plates. 

I drove to the Chapala office using the side road through to San Antonio. No cops stopped me. Fine paid $481 pesos and got my license plate back. 

Got the ticket at the Ajijic Plaza parking zone.

Yesterday I got a ticket for parking in a handicapped zone in Ajijic. My wife is definitely handicapped, but I had no sticker from DIF. The traffic policeman gave me the ticket and confiscated my rear license plate and told me to pay the fine in Chapala. Do I have to take the bus to Chapala to pay the fine or can I drive there without incurring another fine?

For years I've been filling out the same form at the Guadalajara airport immigration office when traveling to the US. I have never had a problem when reentering Mexico. It asks for the usual info: name, passport number, home address etc. but also your destination in Mexico. And it says the form must be completed by all individuals entering Mexico. 

Have I been filling out the wrong form all these years?

Not sure if she really is feral, but she is young and friendly and lives in an abandoned lot next to my house, and I've been feeding her. My local vet charges $900 pesos for spaying. Is a less expensive option available?

Does anyone know where I can buy a canary in the Lakeside area?

My address is Rio Bravo #1 on the corner of Ocampo. You can pick it up any time.

I had to abandon my fish pond when I moved and don't want to throw away a good bag of fish food. Pick up in Ajijic.

Thank you, will do.

Could anyone possibly want these ancient devices before I throw them out? Stereo receiver, record player, cassette player

Problem solved. Yesterday a bank employee found a quick solution to my problem of not being able to open my BBVA account on my iPhone. She went to my App Store, opened the BBVA website and I got the access I needed. Now I hope this is a permanent solution.

I buy $20 pesos worth of credit once a month. For a year, I didn't think I needed to pay Telcel, and they cancelled and I had to buy a new sim card.

When I turn off wifi, I don't see any way to do a speed test.

It's a brand new phone. I don't use it for anything except for accessing my bank accounts. No phone calls, nothing. What's the Telcel network? The website?

If I disable the wifi connection on my iPhone, the speed test shows 1 mbps. So my wifi connection to my iPhone is working for everything except the BBVA website where I need to go to get the code that will let me access my account on my PC. The only reason I have an iPhone is because I have to have one to get the code to access my bank accounts. (I have a Mexican and German bank account)
