I was there yesterday - as was a friend - we both grabbed some   cans of 411 gm kirkland  organic diced tomatoes marked at 25 pesos each.  When I got to the cash register they rang up 185p  (i am not sure if for one or two - I think for each) .  I related they were marked 25 p and without a groan they repriced at 25 pesos.  I will be back - good customer service.

From a perspective of payment, yes, easier to hire a cleaning company. But a cleaning company won't bring you flowers and cake on your birthday - nor  fresh berries from the berry farm - yesterday she brought 3 pts of raspberries.  So for me, lots of benefits in having a cleaning helper instead of a cleaning company.

Still looking for vacation pay advice

not sure I understand vacation pay - 

lets say I have an employee that is entitled to one week's paid vacation.

So he takes the week off and I pay him.

Now I owe an additional 25% or do I have to pay another week plus 25%

I am a long time HandyMail'er - and then the price increase.  Opened an Ishop Account this week.

Note - I also have been missing some magazine mail - don't know whose fault - and have wanted to start getting some Amazon US packages - so the huge price increase as a tipping point

My hearing loss makes telephone contact unworkable.  Do  you have an email address?

you can reach ramiro at  yssoc@hotmail.com

or whatsapp 333 555 2084

I signed a contact with San Javier Funeral Home  - very easy and at the time the best price - plus if you decide to leave the area the plan is transferrable
contact is Ramiro  333 555 2084   33 2272 3549    earlier this year was 13400 p

there is a facebook group called IT Chapala, IT standing for information technology.  Probably some members would have some skills on building websites

Diane Pearl said Riberas will be the new downtown when she moved her shop from central Ajijic a few years ago. Looks like she's right.

In my opinion Riberas is dull - like to swim which is why i live there.  And we all have shopping preferences - for example I prefer Superlake -   Riberas right now is a great place to buy a car, rent a car, go to a hardware store, go to church, swim, get your car washed.  Actually there are some good restaurants and good theater - and lots of bazaars.  And for Diane Pearl's store - I think the only retail on that street within a few blocks.  Have been to a class there, but it isn't a place that you can easily drive by - you need to deliberately go there - which is why I forget to go there.
and I forgot - good bus service.
More like a nice area close to Ajijic - but missing mexican cultural activities - to include parades - that I really enjoyed when i lived in Ajijic.  Not much magic here.  In my opinion.
and i do look forward to Hola

And my Google view is of Lenzez Factory, circa 2021. See how they change?

And I am pretty sure that was the name when I went.  So not sure if the new business will adjust or not

Their website no longer functions. It appears that a Spanish theater chain named Sensacine with about a dozen theaters in Mexico may have bought them. But their website is not listing anything as yet for the Laguna mall location

https://www.sensacine.com.mx/cines/cine/X0ML4/

 

I was at the food court today and they had people in costume trying to get attendees to come watch a film  !!  Speaking Spanish - 

the facebook page for movie space still shows permanently closed - so yes - now a movie is scheduled - but is the company movie space?  I would guess not - that they would not post permanent closure and then show a movie the next day?  Guessing different company

lakeside market - east of ishop and tucked back from carreterra usually has cbd oil ok for pets

I thought the mall was being renovated but I haven’t seen any sign of that. The theater appears to be under a remodel. More vacant spaces is all I see. 

theater has closed - their lease ended   ended on July 23  https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=352896640732916&set=pb.100080377496217.-2207520000

They both work exactly the same for us.

Ibarra - and what do get when you click the bad link - here it is again - https://www.chapala.com/wwwboard/webboard.html - do you get the Ajijic etc web forum page?

the link on chapala.com for the webboard has an error.

The current link on chapala.com is https://www.chapala.com/wwwboard/webboard.html  

The correct link is https://chapala.com/webboard/  

To correct the current link, it looks like /wwwboard and .html  should be deleted from the link   https://www.chapala.com/wwwboard/webboard.html   and the link would then become https://chapala.com/webboard/  

and of course then to test the link to make sure it works

i just had my 1999 car key with a chip duplicated at the place across from coca cola 700 pesos

Opposite the Coca Cola depot under the trees.

Thanks Alpha1. Will go there.

Had an interesting experience with those guys - actually a very good one for mexico.  I had a bunch of keys made ealier this year - maybe 8 different ones and most didn't work when i got home. So went back and  one of the guys said he would come home with me to fix - and he hopped into my car and came to my house and fixed each one.

suggestions on where i can get a car key duplicated?
