  1. Anyone know where I can buy fertilizer for my water lilies? I used to get it from the vivero near Telmex, but they are long gone. TIA
  2. As I mentioned, I have the RFC, Constancia and a SAT password. When I sign in, I can see where I can update my email address, but not other details. My concern is that if I go to CFE and present the Constancia, it won't work because the address is different from my CFE bill.
  3. I have my RFC and Constancia, but I need to update my address. Does anyone know how to do this online?
  4. The + sign is used by the cellphone system. It is automatically replaced by the international access code for the country you happen to be in. For example of you are in the USA it will be replaced by 011 In Mexico and most other countries it will be replaced by 00
  5. You are correct. Creating a system image from a corrupted system is not going to help much
  6. Yes but my bank will be required to report the large deposit to the IRS
  7. Thank you! That's what I was looking for!
  8. I'm sorry I asked. I assume nobody can recommend a local US Tax lawyer, as I originally asked.
  9. My original posting was trying to locate an expert locally. I specifically said "no amateurs please" I'm more than willing to pay a tax attorney. Just got to find one.
  10. Thanks for the response. I assume your are a knowledgeable person. Are you saying that I'm not liable for capital gains tax for a foreign owned property? My US Bank is required to report large deposits to the IRS. What will they do with that information?
  11. Is there a local consultant on US taxes, relating to the upcoming sale of my home here.? I would like to find a qualified person. Please, no amateur opinions. TIA
  12. After trying with Express VPN installed on my router, I decided it was much better to have it on all my individual devices. That way I could easily disable it on my phone and not affect laptop etc. Disabling VPN installed in the router is not straightforward, and the result is disabled for everyone connected.
  13. The problem with streaming, specifically to get live TV, is that the iptv services available here (Clear Choice is the current favorite) tend to have a short life. Maybe shorter than Shaw. This is simply because they are streaming unlicensed content, and sooner or later the authorities catch up with them and shut them down. I am a current Clear Choice user, but over the past few years I have had to switch to a new service every once in a while. I don't have great expectations for the longevity of Clear Choice.
  14. Yes because your modem should have been connected to your wall phone outlet, not to your phone
  15. Because Intercam just does not allow use of it's debit cards online.
  16. Not necessarily true. If you connect the phone outlet on the modem to the nearest wall phone socket, all the jacks in the house will work with existing phones.
  17. Yes I'm aware of that, but apparently the WHO requires birthdate to be "explicitly shown" BTW I've not checked other countries, but I suspect we may have the same problem elsewhere
  18. In planning a trip to the UK this spring, I checked out entry requirements relative to Covid vaccination. I'm fully vaccinated and have the Mexican government vaccination certificate. The UK Government website lists the countries from which vaccination certificates are accepted. Mexico is not on the list. More research uncovers the following from the British Embassy Facebook page: "British Embassy, Mexico City: The UK requirements for vaccination certificates are based on World Health Organization guidelines (https://www.who.int/.../WHO-2019-nCoV-Digital. ..). These requirements include a Date of birth that appears explicitly on the certificate, to allow information about the vaccination event to be linked to a specific person. More details can be found at gov.uk (https: //www.gov.uk /.../ countries-with-approved-covid-19 ...). Currently, Mexican vaccination certificates do not have this information, so they cannot be considered valid proof of vaccination. Faced with this situation, we are in talks with the Mexican authorities" Has anyone else tried to travel to the UK with a Mexican vaccination certificate?
  19. .... but only to people who have WhatsApp one their phones
  20. The best way involves removing the hard drive from your PC, then using an external case or harness to connect it to your Chromebook via USB. Difficulty really depends on the type of hard drive in your PC.
  21. On Ocampo, next to the printer ink store. Can't remember the name but it's ½ block east of Manix restaurant, opposite side of the street.
  22. I would be very wary of buying "Cuban" cigars locally. I bought some Cohiba Siglio 6 in Havana (from the official source). Wonderful smoke. Just to compare, I bought one of the same locally. Not the same shape or color. Not a bad smoke, but obviously fake.
