You needn't worry about CB.  They are definitely skilled, experienced and quite good at survival.  I'm sure they appreciate your concern though.   

Why would you suggest such a thing?

And I don't see how a "slow down in new construction" is a silver lining. Not to mention that "speculation" has no effect on infrastructure unless it is no longer speculation.

Well thanks, but actually the direct link to your charts from gob.mx. I have waded all through the datos and can't pinpoint the municipality charts that you show.

Might you be able to provide the links? When I go to the site, all I can find is maps; can't find the specific municipalities.

I have never been charged anything when using the substitutes. 

I get a message that a charge is possible, but it hasn't happened yet.

But you are still saying that using the 800 numbers cost you nothing. In fact, you cannot use the 800 numbers to dial out unless they are international in nature, and that is infrequently the case. I have heard that you can use the "exit prefix" of 00, but I have never tried that.

Not unless you use 880 or one of the other substitutes, and even in those cases all that happens is you connect, but still have to pay.

"Virtue signaling". I like that. Is there something similar for not only "the action or practice of publicly expressing opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one's good character or the moral correctness of one's position on a particular issue" but being sanctimonious at the same time?

Those who find simple tasks, like paying a phone bill, frustrating, might consider learning enough of the language of the country they are relocating to that those tasks are not frustrating, or perhaps consider that they are ill-suited for life outside their own country.

Not the way it works. Advertising blares out that practically everyone speaks English, to "make it easy on yourself".

No one is suggesting it, it is just happening.  Check the MLS.

Won't be the first time.  And it won't be the last.  RE markets are cyclical.

You called it a "silver lining". Same thing.

Tony's Restaurant, not butcher shop.

Humor will save us all from depression.

Slowing down the real estate market is surely the last thing the owners of this Board, Coldwell Banker, would want to suggest.

Sorry about that. Any articles with coronavirus heading, which this one does, are supposed to be free public access. Surprising takeaway (for me) was that the cash wealthy are the most likely to return for medical reasons.

That is something I did not know. Thanks.

Both car parts shops, one at WalMart parking lot and the other in Riberas mountainside, have a good selectiion of things like that.

Why so touchy? I was only helping to clear it up.

Very doubtful it's same story. That was about a doctor in Ajijic. the account she made said her patient had been transported to the USA. this was a long time ago. 

This actually confirmed patient is a new case in Chapala, and mentions they are recuperating at home.  If this was the patient claimed by the doctor, she said they were tested in Texas, so they would not appear on the government platform in Jalisco. 

No, she was not saying it's the same story.

Eric Blair is the real name of George Orwell, Big Brother theorist. I think he would have a lot to say concerning the comment about revealing identities.

Was I the one who used it on this thread first? Please reserve this important phrase for only the most egregious of the FAKE MEDIA sins!!! We are talking FOOD here!

No, you weren't the first to use it in this thread. But apparently you aren't quite savvy enough to recognise sarcasm when you see it.

As for saving it, as you suggest, my suspicion based on your many unwelcome posts is that you should never have used it at all, because you apparently also don't recognize the difference between real news and FAKE NEWS!!!!

That study is over six weeks old, and a million things have happened since then. Not the least of which are the many scientific reports showing that the virus RNA may still be there on various surfaces, but completely innefective. Perhaps even more to the point, the study did not look at whether the traces of the virus on the face mask could even be infectious.

Not really sure if someone else should be deciding my experiences. FAKE NEWS.

Novel approach though. Walmart's deal was originally to plant all kinds of trees. Long gone by the wayside. This muni work on this proposal? Think not. Interesting thought though.

Yeah. Eaten there a number of times and just can't go back anymore. Too bad; not a lot of choices here.

Well, then, apologies. You think it's okay for people to make comments like he did? Some poor schmuck (nothing personal, Upfront) with arthritis bad enough that their typing is full of mistakes, and that's what people focus on?

No wonder people are leaving this board in droves. What kind of attitude is that? It's becoming a playground for haters. Someone tells you they have arthritis and you call him/her a liar? Good for you, man.
