Be careful what you throw out in the garbage
ARIBOY replied to ARIBOY's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
Good advise, however as it turns out, the garbage folks did not come that day, so it stayed all night -
Checking my street security camera, at 2AM , someone walking by the house and is looking at the two garbage bags i put out on the street earlier in the day. Plastic bag 1 had normal garbage, the dude gets into the bag and takes something. I checked this morning, and the missing item that was taken was a plastic envelope with my name and address on it. Plastic bag 2 was full of shredded papers. The dude looked at the bag, and took the whole thing with him. Why would someone take shredded paper plus a plastic envelope with my address on it is a bit suspicious . maybe looking for personal data for evil purposes - who knows, but in the future, all my papers will be shredded before being placed in the garbage. Anyone else with similar experience ?

Any one has actual knowledge of what responsibilities, if any, one has towards a part time maid ( works 2 days a week for a total of 10 hours) if she can no longer work due to her physical medical issues. Has been employed for just over 4 years.

As far as I am aware, Medicare in Mexico is illegal ( unless it is an emergency and you are away from the US for under 60 days) There are local seminars given locally that suggest that they can handle Medicare insurance at lakeside even for temporary and permenente residents. If anyone has attended such seminar (which I have not) can you please advise your perspective ? Also, if you are a resident, and have used this approach, again,please share your experience. Much appreciated

According to INEGUI, as shown below, the Guad met area Includes 10 municipalities, and Chapala is NOT in the list. So it appears locals do not have to do it, but am sure this will get clarified in the near future, in a more concrete way Desglose de datos del AMG (según INEGI, 2020) Municipio Pob. (hab) Sup.

UPDATE I finally got it to work and successfully downloaded the software - IT WAS ABSOLUTELY NOT INTUITIVE. I ended up with the Best Buy website, where it was ordered and billed to my US card with a US address. I did have to clear all history and cookies in the browser, and then Best Buy transfere to the Intuit website for the download - again NOT INTUITIVE, , and eventually I could dowload Turbotax and install it in my PC. Teh whole thing took a bit over an hour - very frustrating, but eventual success. An impossible task for someone who is not technically knowledgeable. It was not this way in all prior years, ehen it was only a couple of clicks away. Anyways - mission finally accomplished

I am trying to download Turbotax from my Windows PC, and nothing works. ( I have done it successfully for the past 15 years, so don't know what is going on this year) spent two hours with Turbotax customer service on the phone - no success tried to download it from Costco.com - order paid and taken, but one minute later got email saying 'order cancelled" tried via OfficeMax.com and at the end of providing the info requested online, it stopped taking further info . tried via Amazon.com and when going to click on placing the order - I get a screen saying "something wrong, try sometime later", other times via amazon.com it says "some products are not always available, and cannot place the order. I also tried a couple of items using a VPN (Tunnelbear), and similar outcomes. Any one who actually downloaded it from Mexico, that has a recommendation - Please advise.

What are best Mariposas Monarca sanctuaries to visit?
ARIBOY replied to Jubilacion's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
check out www.ranchosancayetano.com as a place to stay ( just outside Zitacuaro), and about a 15 minute drive from cerro Pelon, a place where you go by horse up the mountain, and then walk just a bit to the altitude of the butterflies. just another option -

Drivers License Renewal Info - Please
ARIBOY replied to Karlotta's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
Any one knows how much in advance of your licence expiration date one can go ahead and renew ? -
Thanks for the comments, however .... Let me re-post the original question, as it appears that none of the comments are addressing it: see underlined words. Any one knows ( actual experience only please) if they are accepting residents with a Zapopan address or a lakeside address, anyways? I know that the published articles say Guad. residents only, but being we are in Mexico, there are other possibilities, hence my inquiry. Cheers

All the news refer to the Pfizer vaccines are for Guadalajara municipality residents only. Vax being given from today (Sat. 3/20) for a few days till they run out each day. 1) Any one knows ( actual experience only please) if they are accepting residents with a Zapopan address or a lakeside address, anyways? 2) Also please confirm that indeed it is a Pfizer vaccine (and not Sinovac or one of the others) although today's start appears to be chaotic, maybe it will settle down a bit by mid-week.
