  1. Folks from GDL just posted on FB forum entitled " MEXPAT Lake Chapala" for anyone who might be interested in their product.
  2. Didn't Adrianna, local attorney, and her husband Kevin recently purchase Abbeyfield?
  3. Thanks. That explains the cohetes.
  4. They have also been banned from and a warning to members issued about them on more than one local FB site.
  5. Complete info in this week's GDL Reporter.
  6. Usually, any mini split up to12,000 BTUs can run on 120. They are available wherever mini splits are sold in almost all brand names. Mine is an LG. Larger than 12,000 requires 240.
  7. There is a female doctor in West Ajijic, near Dental Express, that I believe does this for around 2500 pesos per injection. Sorry, I do not have more specific info for you.
  8. I wouldn't tolerate this behavior. Pay them their finiquito and off they go. Others would be happy to replace them and show you more respect.
  9. Maskaras Clinic, Integrity Clinic, Ajijic Hospital, Dr. Leon and more all have a full staff of English speaking medical specialists who come in from their main offices in GDL on a regular basis. You have a lot of choices for medical care. I interviewed four recommended doctors here before selecting one as my primary care physician.
  10. Of course, you can. There are clearly marked signs along the routes where one can exit the bus or reenter one.
  11. If one watches no channels on the above list, then current receiver will still work OK on the ones not listed?
  12. SuperLake had Marlowe's buttermilk yesterday. 60 pesos a liter.
  13. Any contract can be written in any language and any currency as long as it is agreed upon by both parties. USD has been accepted currency in majority of rentals here for close to 50 years.
  14. Agents are paid one month's rent by the owner when a one year lease is signed and that is split with the real estate company. There is little money to be made by agents handling rentals, especially low end rentals, which is why most of the agency rentals are mid to upper price homes. It is not because the prices are higher than for a similar home not using an agency. If that was true rental agencies would not exist. If you are looking for a low end home where you will be expected to take care of most maintenance and repair issues then finding a Mexican landlord is the way to go. Of course, there may be some exceptions if you have the time, patience, knowledge and ability to find them.
  15. Would it be possible for you to flip that letter over and post a pic to show the channels that will be eliminated without this update? Thank you.
  16. Thanks to both of you. I am hoping for one or two additional suggestions, also.
  17. Any suggestions for a competent English speaking personal counselor locally? Can be male or female. Social worker, psychologist or neither. Good listening and reflecting skills important. Thank you.
  18. Excellent. Long overdue. Glad they finally tried to make things clearer. So much confusion. So many misinformed rumors.
  19. Happened to one of my neighbors, also. She was not happy to have to fly to a Mexican Consulate in the US to restart the process.
  20. Temporal and Permanente Residents were told to get in line for Mexicans in GDL on the last two flights that I have taken.
  21. Lake Chapala has been a hotbed for UFO sightings since the '40's.
  22. Sounds like several of us bought that nice, large Hamilton Beach convection oven. I love mine. Don't know what I did without it besides waste a lot of propane waiting for the gas stove oven to heat and then more when I was cooking or heating something that wasn't a meal for four or more, but just me. Not to mention the stove oven could heat up half the house, so I couldn't use it for almost three months a year. No problems like that with the countertop convection. No wasted counter space, either. Sits perfectly on top of the microwave. One of my wiser purchases here.
