It was not a wedding bank but another ring.  Bad work.  Would never recommend him.

Actually, my wife had a clasp put on a very expensive bracelet by Daniel and the workmanship was very poor.

So, is this new information about what was described before, or just the same information posted again?

I beg to differ. The 3rd post was not TO him, but ABOUT him. It was directed to the members, not him.   I stand by what I said. I did not intend to interact with HIM until the pm.  I still have not interacted with him.  I have done nothing to warrant being removed .  The moderators and Administrator know what he sent me and a couple of others.  I haven't posted anything regarding this incident since Monday.  I had no intention of saying anything about this until you brought it up and somehow managed to make me feel his pm was my fault.  

Whatever. Innocent as the new fallen snow. Dream on. I give up.

I want him blocked from all of our lives, permanently.  I had no intention of "interacting" with him until he sent the offensive pm. By that time it was too late to block him.  Now it is a matter of principal trying to get moderators and/or Administration to handle his actions.  

He has already had 3 different sign in names, that we know of.  He just keeps coming back.  

Ibarra, pay attention to this, please. You state " I had no intention of "interacting" with him until he sent the offensive pm." THAT is not true. Check the 3rd post in this THREAD. You called him out. You said he lied. YOU asked for a response from him and evidently he gave you a humdinger of a response, but YOU asked for it. So how can you complain about him when you are just as guilty. Wise up. Don't continue to "play" with these people that want to rile you up. Be smarter than they are. OR you gonna get burned. If the mods get rid of him, they gotta get rid of you, too.

You all have no idea what was said in the pm. I will not reveal that here.  If you knew, you too may not be able to "simply ignore" it.  I have broad shoulders and can let a lot just roll off.  This member's pm went too far.

He can't pm me because I blocked him a Long time ago. So did intelligent others. Only those who wanted to have continued problems from that poster did not block him. You reap what you sow.

An old fashioned "VENDETTA" !!! REVENGE at its finest !!! Only certain types of people are suited for that. I had you pegged to be a better person than that. I sincerely apologize.

Update.  The pm has been sent to Administration via an email. 

"Inquiring minds" would be interested in knowing what is your reason for continuing to interact with this person? It appears that being intelligent would allow you to completely block this individual from your life, as many here have done.

Not really. Pemex (AMLO says) will make a profit this year (creative bookeeping) but has lost money every year for years,  and is the most indebted oil company in the world.  

One pet project ;  a 13 billion dollar refinery (that is net yet running) to produce daily the same amount of gasoline that the Deer Park refinery in Texas that Pemex bought does.  Deer Park cost less than 2 billion to buy.  

Worked a "turnaround" one summer at that refinery when on summer break from the University of Texas before my senior year.

Just a heads up on this brand to anyone thinking of buying a new stove, fridge, washer dryer etc. If you  have any service problems with them down the road (and you will) LG has a policy of only using their own certified technicians. Despite LG being the dominant brand for sale in just about every store all over Mexico that sells appliances, LG's certified technicians are only located in major centres, like Guadalajara. Getting these technicians to come to Ajijic has proven an impossible task for me. I went through LG to get one of their certified tech's. Needless to say, after 2 weeks of multiple no shows and downright insulting treatment by LG tech service centre and LG's customer service centres.  I have called the local technicians who have told me that they can fix it, but that LG will not sell parts to them. They only provide parts to their certified technicians. It's a catch 22. So, I have decided to buy a new fridge that can be repaired locally. These brands are Whirlpool, GE, GE Profile, Mabe, IO Mabe, Maytag etc. Apparently Samsung brand also follows similar practices to LG, but please verify that first.

I should also mention that my fridge died after only 8 years of use. According to my receipt I bought it at Liverpool in late July, 2015. By all accounts it should still be under guarantee but LG denies that too after I called local technicians to come in after not getting a response from LG. Imagine 2 weeks without your fridge? I have since researched LG and it seems there are an awful lot of class action suits against them in the USA and in Canada for this exact same problem, and for the many failures with their other appliances. So this is an issue they are well aware but, despite that, they continue without any changes to their policies. This means their policies and customer service policies and practices are deliberate. So ita a matter of  be aware or be a fool, like me.

I am only writing this as a heads up to all of you to research the product reputation first and buy products that can be serviced locally. Please don't buy any LG products, no matter how nice they seem upfront. They simply do not last long, are impossible to service Lakeside, and you won't have to deal with LG's extremely poor after sales service practices. or lack of. Trust me, your blood pressure will thank you.

 

Sorry you have problems. We bought an LG washing machine (no agitator) in 2006  and another just like it in early 2008 for family. Have not had any problems at all with either, except, 5 years ago had a break in when not at home, and they took the first one. So, we go to Sam's and buy a new one and so far, no problems with it. Love our LG. Use it for 5 loads a week and use the cleaning cycle every 3 months.

I have been voting for years in Mexico. I was born in Florida. Not my fault. 

Then whose fault was it?

Mexico does not recognize "dual citizenship". When you are in Mexico, the Mexican government will recognize you ONLY as what Passport you used to enter Mexico and no other. That Passport also determines what Embassy you go to for assistance. Plain and simple. You cannot be anything else, thus NO Dual Citizenship is allowed in Mexico.

We did not have to have any apostille for our documents.  Our lawyer was told 3 months to receive card. I am a non- citizen and I have already posted what is needed.

It is your opinion that you don't need to pay anyone. Some of us have health issues and need help.  We will gladly pay for a couple hours of help even though we could do it ourselves if in better health.

If you are a non-citizen, then you cannot receive the money, right?

Sorry 6000 pesos every two months. Also we had to listen to 30 minutes of political speech. Then I got my card.

Good advise, however as it turns out, the garbage folks did not come that day, so it stayed all night

So don't leave it out over night for dogs and prying eyes.

Chest X-Ray, electrocardiogram, blood tests and/or coronary angiogram are a few things that can be done prior to placing a stent. 

But even that/those are not conclusive. Just had a friend who was being told that he had one artery that was totally blocked and another 40% blocked. When the cardiologist went in to stint, he found one artery was perfectly open and the other was not bad enough to warrant a stint!  

Caveat Emptor comes to mind but who does one believe!?!

 

Same happened to me.  Dr. woke me up on the table to tell me the good news. Then sent me back to sleep while he closed.

Can you use a Sam's Mexico membership to buy stuff in Sam's U.S. stores?

Even with the lower exchange rate, Sam's U.S. charges twice as much as Sam's Mexico for a membership.

We use our Costco Mexico card in U.S. stores but not sure about Sams.

Yep !
