  1. My reasons - Your first clue should be the "Protests" - first tower has been completed we are in the 2nd tower. - The initial design was 7 floors high but compromised to 5... SO MUCH FOR THE VIEWS OF OTHERS. AND, ISN'T AJIJIC A VILLAGE, NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A CITY WITH HIGH RISES? NEXT THERE WILL BE BILLBOARDS ALL OVER THE PLACE, THEN A MCDONALD'S ON THE PLAZA.

  2. " 87,000 armed IRS agents" "This claim misrepresents a 2021 U.S. Treasury Department report estimating that around $80 billion in funding would allow the IRS to incrementally hire nearly 87,000 employees by the year 2031. Most of those hires would be replacements for workers retiring from existing positions, including not only IRS enforcement agents, but also customer service and technology specialists. According to the Treasury Department, audit rates for those earning less than $400,000 in actual income will not rise. ...only “special agents” who investigate criminal violations of the tax code are authorized to carry firearms." I don't like paying taxes either but I am in favor of the truth. Cactus Mike

  3. please… there is a local lawyer that everyone loves because he is so friendly and speaks English. When the lady died and the daughter came here he showed her the will that gave everything to him. She had to leave the big house and not take anything. All of the Mexican neighbors knew this but not the gringo community. Be careful

  5. Gambling is illegal for money, so is poker if played for money, BIngolago is played for prizes, no cash prizes. A licence is filed every year in Janaury, Yes every bingo in Mexico has been shut down in the past, they did not follow the rules. Some bingo players spent a night in jail Also we have on advisory board several important persons giving us guidance regulary, that we do do anything to break the law and stay legal. some of their relatives attended our school and got step up in life. Remember the casino that was around the corner from the movie theater in Ajijic, it was shut down several years ago and was post in Quadalajara reporter that about 77 gringos spent a night in jail, they did follow the rules. We have been been checked out during Covid, when we first started back up and did not get shut down. Please do not spead any false rumors that may hurt the disadvantaged kids at our school. Bingolago follows all the rules, maybe that why we have not grown very big. There is no pent up demand for people to play bingo. Being at El Sombrero restuarant at 1pm on wednesday where Carlos the owner cooks great food has helped. I have to spend over 17 hours a week putting it together and getting prizes. It a lot of work , but it for the disadvantaged kids we help and give them a set up in life, it worth the effort. If you would like to donate and help the kids, you can do itonline with credit card or debot card at globalgivng.com a IRS 501c3. https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/a-gift-of-an-education-will-change-a-generation-2/

  8. I am gobsmacked by the number of people who think it's OK to enjoy the many benefits of living in Mexico, yet get pissed off when they have to pay duty to get goods brought in from other countries. We lived entitled lives NOB and as Mexican residents, we need to get over that.

  10. Two weeks ago I underwent a spinal surgery.... laminectomy with one level fusion. I feel fantastic, after only 2 weeks, I am walking and pain free! I highly recommend Dr. Jose Manuel Gonzalez Gonzalez. He does his surgeries in Country Hospital 2000 in Guadalajara. He is an excellent Nerosurgeon. My surgery was complicated due to alot if nerve damage. Dr. Gonzalez performed an open back surgery and completely fixed me! I will forever be greatful to him for giving me my life back. If you are suffering with a spinal problem, contact Dr. Gonzalez. He comes to Quality Care Clinic next door to San Antonio Hospital. By the way, he also cleaned up a mess left after a spinal decompression I had at San Antonio Hospital...worst experience ever. The care at SA Hospital was horrific and the Endoscopic proceedure was even worse. The care and attention I received at Country Hospital was first class.... I hope this post is helpful to you.

  11. Have you noticed, after waiting on a long line at WalStupid that the person in front of you seems surprised that they are expected, long after their order is rung up, to pay? They suddenly look all about them as if someone will rush up and help them and then they hunt for their money or credit card....very slowly, looking at the ceiling or some distant wall. Then they load their cart, slowly, and finally wander off. The store should have a special aisle, unmanned ....where you load your own cart and wait as long as you want before moving to a lane where you can pay. No charge for looking at the ceiling.

  12. Several months ago I was in line at the CI bank in the mall, as usual, only one of the ATMs appeared to be working. A little older lady appeared to be having some difficulty working the machine…. Eventually, she left the glass boot while attempting to deal with her cash, her wallet and purse. The next guy in line said…. They should have an ATM just for a little old ladies… she made eyeiContact with him and said maybe they should have one for ###….les as well …everyone in line laughed except….p

  13. I too broke my shoulder and was told replacement surgery was necessary. I also got a 2nd opinion, have been doing physical therapy and have gained nearly full mobility. Please get a second and maybe a third opinion before you proceed.

  20. A recent spine surgery caused me to look for a nurse team to assist me upon my return home. I would like to highly recommend Nurse Paty Coello. Paty is the owner of a nursing agency and she has a team of highly skilled nurses under her employment. In my case each nurse is working a 24 hour shift, assisting me in movement, toileting, feeding, bathing etc. I am so impressed at the dedication and care that these Nurses are providing. Paty comes 2x a day to check on everything and her team bring all their own food and drinks. Paty will organize and provide you with the care you need whether that is full time, days only, nights only or anything in between. I give Paty and her team a 10 for their care. Please don't hesitate to contact Paty should you need a reliable head nurse! Paty cell 3338441776. References are available.

  21. I broke a shoulder in 2008 with major complications. An orthopedic surgeon from Guadalajara said I needed shoulder replacement surgery. I did not accept that diagnosis and went for 2 other opinions. What I needed was physical therapy. I did that for 8 weeks and recovered with a little limited mobility but absolutely no pain.

  23. I believe that the local law allows only 2 story buildings. With a variance, they were ok'd to build three stories. When the building reached 7 stories, progress was stopped and they had to tear off the top 2 stories down to 5 as a compromise. Some compromise! Newbies will probably be OK with the building but the rest of us residents and the Mexicans are NOT happy about the building at all.
