  2. Absolutely the worst! She took me for a sum, too. Go to the main office when necessary, and use the website the rest of the time.

  4. I am frequently up by 4 am and occasionally around 4:30- 5:00 I do hear a truck passing CH using their brakes. This isn't every day, this isn't a constant, never ending barrage of noise, this is something that quickly becomes virtually unnoticeable unless you have made a decision to sit on every cactus in the desert of life. So what they make noise? These are working people and the 30 seconds to maybe.... maybe a minute I hear this noise is far less bothersome than another national out of work, looking for a way to feed their family. This is just another case of "gringos" (I ain't one!) making a BFD outta nothing.
  5. There is a difference between the flours sold at Walmart for use in making breads and the bread flour we are accustomed to NOB. I wouldn't waste my time making bread from the flours sold at Walmart, but they are perfectly fine for cakes, cookies, and other things...just not bread. "The main difference between bread flour and all-purpose flour is a matter of protein. Bread flour, which comes in white and whole wheat varieties, has a higher protein content than all-purpose, usually 11-13%. It's called “bread flour” because most bread requires higher amounts of protein to produce lots of gluten."
  6. The latest...We are open Thursday to Monday🥳 For reservations 376 766 1674 3 pm to 8 pm
  7. Pancho's, Gourmet Garage, or Superlake. For things expats want, it's almost always one of those.

  10. The noisiest place for me is anywhere on the carretera from Chapala to SJC. The truck traffic and narrowness of the road through Ajijic amplifies the noise to such a degree conversation is nearly impossible. As with the trucks on either hill the OP mentioned, the drivers can't be faulted. They're doing their job and I can decide if I want to visit Ajijic or not.
  11. As NEWMtnMama stated, it is possible they are out of the office. Many businesses don't have office staff to sit and answer the odd call. Maybe this is one of them. There are several local notarios who are busy enough to have F/T staff; perhaps you would be happier using one of them. Just a thought.
  12. Phil, you need to contact Telmex and make a report. My previous post expains the easiest way to do this, which is by email.
  13. They are NOT available at DIF! Please read my post and go the correct office.
  14. I live two blocks from the #2 Chapala Haciendas entrance. Yes, I occasionally hear trucks and I do mean occasionally, but I never get my panties in a twist over this. The hill between Ixtlahuacan and Chapala is steep enough that when I used to drive a regular passenger van I had to downshift AND apply my brakes frequently to keep the vehicle at a safe speed. Accidents in all areas on both sides of this hill happen so often as to serve as a warning to those who travel this carretera to slow down. The same is true of the Libramiento. Personally, whatever these trucks must do to keep from having having or causing a major traffic incident is okay with me. They and only they know what is necessary for their truck. I NEVER believe they are deliberately making unnecessary noise. If it bothers you so much (you complain often, so I assume so) now is a great time to sell and move somewhere on the flats. New area, new noises, but maybe you'll be happier.
  15. This is what we do and we have never had salitre come back in an already treated spot. After thoroughly removing the affected concrete, usually about 2 inches deep, we use Sika AntiSalitre via a spray bottle. We wait a full week before first filling the area about 1/2 - 3/4 deep with Cemex Multiplast. When that has had time to dry we do a finish coat. Since the locals call salitre "rising dampness", I would guess that most salitre that occurs lower in walls both inside and out is not the result of direct exposure to rain, but moisture coming from the ground below. A friend suggested waiting to treat salitre until January or February to allow the moisture to finally abate. We don't always wait.
  16. If the moisture source was not addressed first, it will keep coming back.
  17. "Fine quality" is subjective, imo, but for a large selection of what to me are high priced bed linens, Bed Bath and Beyond can be found in Guadalajara.
  18. You can find out how much here. You can also pay at the same time.- https://gobjal.mx/PagoRefrendoVehicular You can read about available discounts here- https://www.jalisco.gob.mx/es/gobierno/comunicados/conoce-los-descuentos-de-refrendo-vehicular-2022
  19. It would be unwise to leave your car in a hotel lot unless you are registered guest. Getting your car out of impound would be costly and a nightmare.
  20. I would take the easy way out and get it in Chapala. If you click on the link to the actual article there is a big azz photo of the building, so you know what you're looking for. I have translated the text for tech challenged individuals. 26 Sept 2022- https://paginaquesiselee.com/2022/09/26/credencial-inapam-ya-no-sera-expedida-en-dif-chapala/ "By Gilberto Padilla Garcia The credential of the National Institute for Older Adults (INAPAM) will no longer be issued at the facilities of the Municipal System for the Integral Development of the Family (DIF), but at the Integration Center of the Welfare Secretariat that is in the Administrative Unit , located at 69 Niños Héroes street, in the municipal seat of Chapala. This, due to changes in the operating rules by the federal government, for which the module that was in the DIF stopped operating from September 1. Now, those interested must go to the Integrator Center to start the process, which will be carried out by the so-called Servants of the Nation. If you are over 60 years of age and need the INAPAM credential, go to the Integrator Center from Monday to Saturday, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with a copy of the INE, CURP credential, extract from the birth certificate and two child-size photographs, as well as the name and contact telephone number of a trusted person in case of emergency. In addition to its use as identification, the INAPAM credential allows older adults to access discounts on various products and services, such as the payment of drinking water and property tax, food, consulting and transportation, among others."
  21. They quit that too some months back. She worked at Simply Joyful for a couple of months and if I understood correctly, they accepted an opportunity NOB.
