  1. Don’t know if it is available here but there is a high fat, high calorie “stuff” to supplement their diet. It was like a large tube of meat-flavored tooth paste.  Of course, in theory you could squeeze some in with their food. Non starter for my cat. She ate all around it and refused to eat at all when I mixed it in with her food. So much for “Cats love the flavor!” Vet suggested squeezing some on a plate. No again. I ended up putting some on my finger and putting it on the roof of the cat’s mouth so she had no choice but to swallow it. After a bit she began to like it. Best of luck to you and Max.

    Pleeeze!!! This is so stupid, but somewhat entertaining. No, I did not see baggers quitting...just less and less of them with checkers having to help put the groceries, in most cases, into the carts and also the cloth bags that some customers provided. No, I saw no monkeys or goats...just less and less baggers...WITH MY OWN EYES!!! Am I being clear enough??? 

    What you just said here is not what you were saying. Go back and reread your posts in this thread. Had you said further back what you just said here we would not be having this discussion. Now that I know you really have no idea what you are saying there is no point in these discussions.

    This thread is about Walmart baggers, and as I have said 3 times now, I saw it with my own eyes THERE...many times. You are entitled to your own opinions, but facts are facts!!!

     So, at Walmart you saw baggers quitting their jobs because of environmental laws against reusable plastic bags and you saw this many times? Sorry GH, but this still is not “a fact.” I can say I saw monkeys riding goats stocking shelves in Walmart. I could say I saw it with my own eyes many times. Still, even if I add,  “Facts are facts” it would not mean that Walmart has goat-riding monkeys stocking shelves.

  4. If you do not already have an established relationship with a doctor here please do find one BEFORE you get sick. You can interview several doctors if you wish. When you find one who is a good fit, get an exam and open a file with that doctor. Please do not wait until you are ill to call a doctor who has never seen you before and knows nothing about you, especially not if the first time they see you is a possible covid19 emergency.

    As I said before, pre virus, and post anti plastic bags, the baggers were leaving because many people were just  themselves loading the carts or their own bags (and the checkers were helping)...thus no or minimal tips. If you believe this or not, the fact is, that the banning of plastic bags is insane when the amount of plastic leaving Walmart (and other markets) in the form of packaging and bottling is HUGE compared to that, and IN MY OPINION was contributing to some wonderful folks losing what little income they were deriving there. I know that there will be many shouts of "This has to happen because it is a start". As a longtime businessman I always consider COST vs BENEFIT, something that is sorely missing in all the "social justice and environmentalist warrior" babble that is going on nowadays.    

    So, you can not name even one store where the environmental police have forced baggers out of work. Instead of answering a question about one of your fact-free rants, you respond with another one. I suppose you can not name the stores where pre-virus baggers were leaving because we were all loading up our own carts with checkers helping. In what stores did this occur?

    Since the baggers have been pushed out by the "environmental police", you are on your own...in other words you are your bagger, so you can do it your way.

    Please tell us which stores no longer have baggers because of the “environmental police.” The only stores I shop at that don’t have baggers are ones that never did have baggers because the cashiers also bag. This is true whether I bring my own bag(s) or not.

    I just call it what Mexico calls it  Sorry to offend you....

    "México para solicitar el visado de turista".

    You did not offend me at all.  I have also seen official sites refer to it as a visitor visa but, as I said, I don’t care what you call it.

    So if they are not residents or citizens or tourists, what visa do they get?  When I came for work as a rep I was always on a tourist visa as I received no pay in Mexico.

    You received a visitors visa and called it a tourist visa as so many people do. You can keep calling it a tourist visa if you wish. You can call it a salamander for all I care.

    Just a question...who flying in needing an FMM is not a tourist? When you enter the FMM has a fee charged to your ticket for tourists. If you are a resident the fee is refundable and the FMM is for statistical purposes.

    You honestly can’t think of a single reason why someone would come here except as a “tourist”? If you are not applying for temporary or permanent resident then you are a visitor to Mexico. You can come to help care for a sick family member, help a friend with a project, do volunteer work, housesit for a friend, take a workshop or class, or any number of reasons.

    Well, fordtruckman is a member and he was made 332 posts, and Phil in Mexico has 267 and is a Newbie so just maybe when you hit 300, you go from Newbie to Member.

    Excellent deductive reasoning, Pete. I think you are on to something.

    Actually it is widely known all over the dark web,  that Carlos Slim has hired North Korean hackers at a cost of a Billion Dollars to bring down ILOX and Wiz in the Chapala area for a couple of days. 

    Wow. A billion dollars to shut them down for a couple of days? A billion dollars doesn’t do what it used to.
