Tingting

I realize this is slightly off-topic (sorry), but this whole situation and the rather "Wild West" driving conditions finally got us to install our dashcams (front and rear) that had been sitting unused for a while. They're surprisingly pretty cheap for good quality. No it won't prevent any accidents, but it may just save our bacon if we're in one and there is a question of who's at fault. Just my two centavos, but I really recommend them if you drive. 

While HJ's post may have come across as condescending, he actually has a fair point. It is VERY difficult to sue, regardless of how just your case might be. Note:  difficult, not impossible. I go by the following (very old) joke:

Costco almost always has them so I buy in bulk to ensure our spoiled fur faces get their treats. If you're really desperate, Pancho's or SL probably carry them too (at a --cough, cough--slightly higher price). 

BTW, big 🥰 for taking  her in.

Wow, that's great to know! Thanks.

Oops.🤪

Google is the best place to find such locksmith experts in any location, why to search them here?

Because Google doesn't give actual experiences. Yes, there are reviews, but who writes them? Friends? Enemies? The owner? I use Google to get some names and then follow-up with folks that have actually used that person/facility.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit that it took me a bit to realize what I was seeing! Anyone else want to admit it or is it just me? (yeah, yeah, I know I'm setting myself up here :p)

No area is closed in Mexico and you can go wherever you like ,is the answer since the government is not responsable for anything, you are pretty much on your own for the better and the worse.

Isn't that called adulting?

On a more serious note, just obey the rules (masks indoors, etc) and you should be fine. I follow the philosophy of obeying the rules but taking the mask off the second my feet hit the outdoors so I can breathe the fresh air and get some sun on my skin. YMMV.

Agreed. Honest and fair prices...no "gringo tax."

It must be the day because when I saw the title I thought of a Chow Chow dog

Now you're going to have to get a Chow Chow dog and name it "Chayote!"

I saw the title of this and was expecting to read about some rip-off restaurant that was trying to pass off chayote in a recipe, not something where the chayote WAS a part of the recipe! lol...it's been a long day.

Thanks for the info, happy...I don't know why we haven't tried Magnolias yet since they're so close. I'll definitely get some to-go in the next few days and report back.  

I was looking to post our experience at the local AM (Bugambilias Plaza) when I noticed that the previous post was hijacked, so...here's a new one.

Frankly, we were disappointed, big time. I ordered a vegetable based dish and it was tasty, but came with no rice or anything, just a dish of sauce, veg and THAT WAS IT. It was like eating a thick soup.  Hubby ordered lamb something-or-the-other and it came as a huge rice dish with BITS of lamb mixed in. Served properly, it should have been like mine--lamb in a sauce, accompanied by rice. It was like all of the rice that should have been served at our table was dumped at the last minute to cover up the fact that lamb was now a valued commodity to be mined like gold. The yoghurt sauce that accompanied the meal (sorry, brain is on hold tonight and am forgetting names) was one step away from water. It was nearly tasteless. The nan bread was a star, but bread doesn't make up for a third-rate meal. The waiter was pretty incompetent...couldn't say what did and didn't make up a dish,  etc. 

The Indian offering at the Laguna food court is far superior and I think of it as "Indian Light" (fast food style)--not gourmet, but still pretty decent for a quickie, relatively cheap meal.

This wasn't fun to write because I really had high hopes for Al Meraj. Maybe it was a new waiter (doesn't explain the food) or maybe we just came at a bad time, but someone really dropped the ball with our meal.

Hilarious. Incredibly foggy "treatment" options, including what, a single study about your golden calf remdesivir during the last ebola outbreak, and a few Chinese trials for --I say again-- treatment, that showed no statistically significant clinical benefits.

The only proven prevention is being careful and getting a vaccine. Why would you you want to be treated for anything when you can use prevention instead? Duh.

Of course, this is why the Sinovac has been shown to be so effective, right? Yes, for some, this is better than nothing, but maybe some folks have a very healthy skepticism after all of the conflicting information the CDC and Fauci have been giving. Is the wind blowing to the east today? Masks not needed. Oh, damn! It's west...get those masks on! 

I can't send you any hummingbirds, but how about some bats?

Is it possible that some sort of plant killer could be accidentally spilled over the fence as a last resort? Of course, I'm not suggesting that you use Ojiva from the Garden Center as that would be wrong.

God, I'm so sorry to hear that and sadly, not too surprised. Things aren't going to get better in that area since traffic just keeps growing and growing. 

Thanks for the kind words! Please pass the word to anyone that might even be thinking of adopting a pet. This little guy is a cutie. He's got lots of energy, is very quick and is very affectionate. I know there are a lot of dogs out there that need a home, but I hope someone out there has space for this little charmer. 

The little chonk of cutness has a new home! Thanks to everyone who took the time to read and care.

During my very early morning walk, I stumbled over a puppy that was desperately trying to get my attention by clinging to my legs. He was wet, cold, and very hungry (he's now dry, warm and full). We absolutely can't keep another dog, so if anyone would like a little chonk of cuteness, please contact me at 332-617-3588. He is your typical mix and should grow to be a medium-ish/slightly larger sized dog (but this is just a guess). (sorry, not the best pics)

I'm sorry to read that but not too surprised. Every time we drove by, there was someone there, but no one using the services. I hope it's just a one-off glitch, or maybe a regroup/think on the hours, and that they reopen. FWIW, the testing at Clinica Ajijic is very well organized and you don't wait long, even with a line.
