A big shout out to ComputerGuy for narrowing down my internet problem to a faulty modem!!!!! He used another modem to prove that I have a problem now I will go into Telmex and get a new one. And I'll be going in shortly.

Looks like Pete was right......

I want to type words that are not allowed on this forum. Telmex would NOT change my modem. Told me to go home and call the 1-800 number. Gee, I hope my landline still works to be able to do that.

FYI our recently issued CFE bill once again shows our accumulated solar credit.

Water is released to ease the situation, to provide water for farming, and to replenish the lake... but only when the dam levels get high enough. You'd have to judge the height of the wall to determine if it will breach, and look at the history of each place. For example, right now it is over the old retaining wall at the malecon in Ajijic, but they built a new wall several feet higher. The park there was under water in 2008, and that's pretty high up. But old timers will tell you about the days when all of Riberas was under water, almost right up to where the carretera is now.

Just out of curiosity, what causes/reasons do they have for releasing water through the dam? Also, I took this photo from one of the parties that I went to of a friend of a friend in Chapala. He had built a gorgeous modern home right on the water. I was curious how high the water can get. I assume the water can't get as high as the house as his yard was VERY big. But is flooding ever an issue for those homes right there on the water?

Hi there thanks for the information. You mean your home in Mexico right? And is it in chapala? Im not located in chapala but in another part of mexico. But i like to know if anyone knows what happens if you order an item like monitor or anything and you are not home and don't pick it up. Someone says it gets sent back to their office. So they won't return it back to say amazon mexico? Because with amazon us... i believe if its a big item like tv or monitor and say ups is the carrier, they would have it sent back to amazon correct if one doesnt pick it up?

I used them a few months ago. Had a GREAT experience with them. I'm not sure I'd use it to buy electronics or an expensive iPhone but they must have some protection program. My new apartment in Zapopan came with this fancy dishwasher installed. It was the first time I had a dishwasher that required salt. I can understand if you optionally wanted to use salt for hard water stains but the dishwasher wouldn't work at all without it! I couldn't find it anywhere in the store in GDL. I tried many places. Then I went on Mercado Libre and instantly found it. Was a bit pricey as I guess it's from the USA but it was instantly shipped from Mexico City and I got it in 2 days. Worked flawlessly. Also I'm a really convert to dishwashers that use this special salt. Glasses come clean crystal clear. Best I've ever seen.
