  1. Speaking of Telmex...my telephone bill went up from $389 (for months/years) to $468 last month. I am not complaining but I have not heard if this was an across-the-board increase. It came as a new bill delivered last month.
  2. Does not begin to compare to SHAW but it is the only thing available. Many problems. Lost sound yesterday. It was fixed from Florida via satellite sometime after I switched Netflix. I still lose the satellite daily but I think they are close to fixing that.
  3. My Social Security has been deposited every month automatically into my account.
  4. Does that mean that pedestrians wishing to cross east to west on the north side no longer have a safe time to cross?
  5. I have been hooked up to Kiwisat since the middle of December. It requires a fair amount of computer work but Ajijic Electronics will help you. They have 771 channels and it costs $708/6 months. The Kiwisat receiver was shipped to Ajijic Electronics. Once they have your receiver they will come to your house and adjust your satellite. Mine points east and is almost on the roof surface. They install your receiver etc. This cost $8000 pesos. Now, I have had nothing but problems with the Kiwisat system. Almost every night, including the very first night I lose the satellite signal, and off goes the TV. It may, or may not come back on. I cannot begin to explain how complicated this is, and how often, or long it last per night. After a couple of weeks, Kiwisat Miami sent a signal boost to my receiver. This did not help. Unplugging the TV and re-plugging it back in does not help. Sample: Last night was good: I turned my TV on at 4 pm. The TV came on with a perfect picture and sound. Thirty minutes later I noticed the lips were not moving on the person speaking. I knew then that I would lose picture and sound. I was lucky, about one hour later, when I was fixing dinner I heard the TV begin to make noise, and it did come on. I do not watch TV after 7 PM. This is because, unlike SHAW you cannot tell what is programmed on the channels you want to watch. For example: I want to know what is coming on NBC, ABC, and CBS, at 7 pm, 8 pm, and 9 pm. This is not available. Lastly, I hear there are other people who are now on Kiwisat who do not have my problem. This tells me that the problem is at my end. I think it is the receiver. I need Ajijic Electronics to rule out the connection, and then get me a new Kiwisat receiver box. I will forever miss SHAW after 21 years.
  6. I did not think it ever stopped. I never answer my home phone. There is an answering machine if they want to leave a message. I never answer my cell phone unless the cell phone identifies the caller, or I am expecting a call from someone/business who the phone would not identify. The phone identifies several a week as spam and asks if I want that number blocked and deleted. Which I always do.
  7. Another idea, when they arrive at the airport go to one of the ATM machine and get pesos that way.
  8. My precinct in Seattle, Washington is very good about sending me my ballot for 21 years.
  9. I forgot to say I am in Upper Ajijic.
  10. At my house it was a delightful light rain, preceded by thunder and lightning. It was just enough to give everything a watering.
  11. All doctors would treat allergies. Are you looking for a specialist?
  12. I had no problem with Netflix last night
  13. I went to the Recaudadora this morning. I arrived at 9:10 AM. Three people behind the counter were helping. I waited a few minutes and gave the man behind counter #1 my Tarjeta de Circulacion and $756. Done and received my Validacion de Pagos. Next, I gave him the license plate number and names of two Mexican friends. All of this took less than 10 minutes.
  14. That goes without saying Ibarrra. I have been doing this for 21 years. I think by now I know how things work. The form was filled out this morning but nothing happened when I hit enter. I tried twice. I assume the information is not yet available online. I like to check in case I have a traffic ticket which means the cost will be more. Several years ago I was paying my tax and the agent told me I had a traffic ticket. I had received nothing in the mail, but fortunately, I had sufficient money to cover the ticket cost. This is why I now check before I go to pay.
  15. I did not hear anything in Upper Ajijic
  16. Your car information is all on the Tarjeta de Circulacion which you always carry with you. I just tried finding out the information on my license cost but there was no response. 1/01/24 at 9:15 AM

  18. How many of you old timers can remember when we wanted to refill our gas tanks we had to drive out almost to San Nicholas? Eventually, we turned left onto a dirt road and drove some distance back. When you got to the place you carried your tank onto a field to where the tanks were filled. After filling they are very heavy and I remember it was not easy carrying it back to the car. I could not do that now. I remember going out there twice before the Z-Gas place on Revolucion opened.
  19. Sorry, but I was trying to give simple driving directions for those who do not know where Colibri Garden Cafe and Bakery is Located.....
  20. There is a place just outside of Chapala but I am not sure I can explain where it is. If you know where the cemetery is in Chapla let's start there. Go down the road that goes past the cemetery to the lake. Turn left on the lake highway. It is a little distance from where you turn on the left side. .. Just past restaurant, etc. at that intersection.
  21. I wondered if any of the doctors' offices offered the vaccination.
  22. Is Moderna or Pfizer better? Pfizer: Is There a “Best” mRNA Vaccine? Both of the mRNA vaccines available in the US are highly effective against severe COVID-19, but recent studies suggest that Moderna's elicits a stronger immune response and might be better at preventing breakthrough infections.
  23. I asked a Mexican friend for his take on this. Here is his reply. The reason why they were taking the motorcycles away is because they are used in drug dealing. Police were also having check points to detect that that's why they chased this vehicle where they found drugs, money and weapons. The 2 bad guys n the car fled and escaped.
  24. It appears that all of the surveillance cameras were taken down. The suspect is the cartel. There were 7 police at the Walmart intersection when I went through a short while ago (11:45). There are two polls down that I know of. One on the carretera at La Florest at the statue and one at Revolucion and the carretera. Whatever, we should probably be careful. The original information came to me by a Mexican friend.
