Ferret

Between the delay for a search and the limitations of that search (no three letter words or acronyms) and the fact that the search function on here truly does suck, I just started using google to search. Invariably it is faster, better and I find exactly what I'm looking for ON Chapala.com's web board.

Natasha,  yes I could turn left off the carretera but the sound of horns and the screams from the driver's behind me gave me pause. LOL. At the next opportunity to turn left and loop back, there is at least room for cars to move around me.

Then the person in charge should change the light to show "straight ahead arrow" and "turn left arrow" AND remove the "turn right arrow" which totally negates the need for the off ramp from the libramiento. This is not rocket science.

Mostlylost, the light ONLY indicates that you turn left or right NOT STRAIGHT AHEAD. WTF?

I can only tell you the two ways that I have been doing it when I absolutely HAVE to go there. Since I am arriving from the east, I turn right into the lateral that goes in front of HSBC then a right going up into the Laguna Mall parking lot and around to the left until I get to the sign that says exit (salida). From there, I turn left onto the libramiento and keep to the right hand side which is one lane to enter the feed to the carretera. That feed is wide enough for two lanes and should be marked as such with lane lines and arrows (on the asphalt)... the left lane for entering Walmart and the right lane for turning onto the carretera. Wait in your left lane until the appropriate light changes and move forward over the carretera and onto the road that runs to the west side of the automotive parts store. Crossing the highway is the hard part because people insist on blocking what is, in essence, an intersection. Drives me nuts all over town that people do this.

The second way is to keep to your right coming off the Libramiento, turn right (when allowed)onto the carretera then turn left at the first opportunity in La Floresta and loop back onto the carretera and turn right into the Walmart parking lot down the road beside the auto parts store.

Either way it's a freaking nightmare of inconvenience.

Since Rick used to make the best burger available lakeside, if he says it's the best then it must be pretty awesome.

Arrows on the road PLUS signs that say "do not enter" would be delightful additions... so would speed limit signs although I admit it's hard to go 40 km/hr on the highway into Ajijic with the stop and go traffic. The intersection at the Walmart is a mess and getting worse. Walmart delivery service, on the other hand, is delightful.

Yes, only people using the libramiento or arriving from the west are allowed to shop in Walmart.

Ouch! It was bad enough turning left onto the carretera from Revolucion even before the bicycle path went in. I feel for you!

Damn. Now it's running through my head too. All time classic rock.

Updates on the fires?

If you can't find it locally, it is available on Amazon Mexico and Mercadolibre. I just typed in "lipsense" to search both sites. Mercado Libre has a bigger selection... https://listado.mercadolibre.com.mx/lipsense#D[A:Lipsense]

Winds should peak again this afternoon around 5 pm from the WSW.  https://www.wunderground.com/forecast/mx/ajijic?cm_ven=localwx_10day  I hope they keep dumping the water.

The young man who walks my dog reported at 7:30 am that the fire is nearly out. Here's hoping it stays that way. Kudos to the Bomberos!

Stay safe!

If you're buying, get a rotary cutter as opposed to the large guillotine style cutting knife. I used my rotary cutter for well over twenty years with no problems and no decrease in efficiency. Still have all my fingers too.

You can also search on Facebook for smaller local rental companies. Mark Turford (333-398-9045) rents cars and so does Antonio Regalado. Here is another one...

imho, if there is cargo involved then you should tip. That includes luggage or groceries. IF I have to put the groceries in and take out the trunk (same for luggage) then I do NOT tip. I appreciate being helped.

Agree Jreboll. There are pointed questions that must be asked. Like "After I go through this chemotherapy (or whatever) how much time will it add to my life?" Between that answer and understanding whatever hell you will endure while taking the treatment, it comes down to quality of life not length of life.

Yup. It's been a process. Thank heaven for competition. At one point I had Telmex, iLox and TotalPlay. Dumped iLox first and then Telmex. TotalPlay is the most consistently reliable service here. Hands down.

I don't call being without telephone service for over six weeks a minor problem. Incidentally, it wasn't Telmex who repaired it. I had someone trace my line to the junction box at the top of a pole around the corner from my house. The wire connection was corroded. He snipped off the corroded parts of the wire and re-attached it. It would have been simple for four different Telmex repair men to have done the same thing. Pathetic service. I don't have any problems with Telcel.

Nope. Missed it by six years. LOL.

Some people also have allergies to some of the ingredients (fillers) of a capsule or the capsule material itself.

There are so many spelling errors, grammatical errors and punctuation errors in posts on forums, that I just let it roll off my back. If you understand what the poster is trying to say then don't bother trying to correct them.

He meant a reciprocating saw which means the blade moves forward and backward. All you've got to do is hold the handle and the saw does the work. In this case, it requires a blade for metal.

What they offer and what they deliver are very different things depending on where you are located.
