  1. Tax collectors. Thanks for your tip on filling out the forms. Any idea if you can do that with United?
  2. I used Xoom two weeks ago. PayPal used my Visa. No interest, or fee charged???? EDIT: I was incorrect, I have XOOM payments via my Debit card, NOT a CC. Thanks for the information, Virgo Lady.
  3. Most android boxes use a Kodi build. You can install that yourself onto a computer. Go to YouTube and type in "Kodi Build". There will be walk throughs on how to install Kodi and then the necessary "Build". Once installed you will get live TV, old TV shows, and movies. Eventually you start to loose channels. For around 50p you can get a 10ft hdmi cable to connect the computer to a smart TV. No VPN or costs (other than a cable, if you decide to get one).
  4. Had to Google him, wish I hadn't. Who does things like that?
  5. GPS does not need data to work. https://www.travelwanderlust.co/articles/how-to-use-gps-on-your-phone-without-data/
  6. Statisticaly; 8 out of 10 facts are compeatly made up by someone on a web chat board.
  7. Funny stuff HB, but I think the part of your friends being bank robbers wearing masks may have been lost in translation.
  8. Understood. I was in the same position in the US and had another two weeks of txt and call time left. I ended up adding a 500p package just to get data. 😒 Hope someone can offer a work around, as I'd like to know too.
  9. Maybe not the answer you are looking for, but as an option: You can add packages while out of Mexico, if needed, by using the XOOM site. Select Reload, then Mexico. The money goes through PayPal. Same prices as doing it here. Also works well Lakeside when you run out of phone time and it is raining hard outside. 😄 https://www.xoom.com/mexico/mobile-reloads
  10. Ken, I am not 100% sure on this, but my understanding is only the Vaccine results must be in English or French for avoiding quarantine in Canada. The PCR test is checked by the airline in the country you are leaving from before you are allowed to board a flight into Canada. So a direct flight from here would allow a Spanish PCR test result Your vaccine data must be entered into the new ArriveCan phone App. "If you received your vaccines outside Canada, it’s still accepted but proof of vaccination must be uploaded digitally in ArriveCAN and must only be in French or English, or certified translation into French or English." https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/covid-vaccinated-travellers-entering-canada#determine-fully Nothing about language for the PCR: https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/flying-canada-checklist/covid-19-testing-travellers-coming-into-canada#getting-tested Again, not 100% sure. Good Luck.
  11. USA citizens and residents Aug 9, and other countries Sept 7; If fully vaccinated with approved shots. https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/news/2021/07/19/canada-border-reopening-fully-vaccinated-us-citizens-aug-9/8016368002/
  12. Does that work everywhere in the world? Great deal if it does.
  13. I currently use a dual sim, but I've heard good things about Park My Phone. Only warning I was given was to enable Whattsapp with the NOB number before you choose a park option. That would also allow me to keep a Telcel sim in the phone and have a sim slot open for if we can ever travel freely again. Prices seem reasonable. https://parkmyphone.com/
  14. Another old one… "An older lady gets pulled over for speeding"... Older Woman: Is there a problem, officer? Officer: Ma'am, you were speeding. Older Woman: Oh, I see. Officer: Can I see your license please? Older Woman: I'd give it to you but I don't have one. Officer: Don't have one? Older Woman: Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk driving. Officer: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration papers please. Older Woman: I can't do that. Officer: Why not? Older Woman: I stole this car. Officer: Stole it? Older Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner. Officer: You what? Older Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see The Officer looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun. Officer 2: Ma'am, could you step out of your vehicle please! The woman steps out of her vehicle. Older woman: Is there e a problem sir? Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner. Older Woman: Murdered the owner? Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car, please. The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk. Officer 2: Is this your car, ma'am? Older Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers. The officer is quite stunned. Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license. The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer. The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled. Officer 2: Thank you ma'am, one of my officers told me you didn't have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner Older Woman: Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too. Don't Mess With old Ladies
  15. That is exactly why more people like yourself need to be posting. Thank you. EDIT POINT: So the board is not so negative % wise.
  16. I too have a healthy appetite, and have found the portions to be MORE than enough. While there may only be a handful of posters on the board, some are serial complainers. If the food or service was consistently below par, we'd have heard about it by now. I've found the service to be above average. I sometimes place an order before doing my shopping at El Torito. It is always ready when they said it would be, for me to take home with my groceries.
  17. Haha, that was good. I will once again promote Richie Rich'S, Fire Stick. I have a very poor internet connection and his tweeks to my non 4k FS made a large difference. I do also use utorrent to download the shows I like so there is no buffering etc.
  18. Yes, it is roped off. Between the stairway and the parking spots. Gives another option to keep some distancing.
