Nice guy at the Tuesday market has it in the summer, maybe now. Walk in, take an immediate right, and he is on your right almost all the way down. I will be there housesitting in August, and I have enough fresh Burgundy Okra seed to share, some of it with him.  Shoot, by then, I may have okra too. The burgundy is sooo much more tender than the normal. Unfortunately it turns green when cooked or pickled. Sometimes I dream of my grandmother's stewed okra, onions, and home grown tomatoes with fresh dill! So many people think they don't like okra, but the truth is they've never had it properly cooked. That's OK, more for us!

There's always USTV now. You can get USA networks free, plus PBS, and other channels at cost. I am a Jeopardy! junkie too....

Gordo got me twice...he was a piece of something, all right, but NOT work! Good riddance to bad rubbish!

Well, I see I can't buy raw meat for my Bebo while I am there petsitting! Does Costco sell ground chicken? Soriana is OUT of the question since the manager kicked and broke a dog's jaw while the dog was only looking for a bit of shade. I try to alternate chicken, pork, and beef with Purina Pro Plan kibbles every day.

Can't wait to go to the Chapala mercado  and stock up, maybe three days worht at a time, per RV's suggestion!

Does anyone at the Lake make/sell fresh grapefruit juice? I am debating whether to bring my huge antique Sunkist juicer, but it weighs close to 60 lbs! I'll just be there a couple of months housesitting, but can't do without my juice! TIA.

Bless you, Rony, for all you do! I can't have a cat because of all the big dogs around me in the jungle. I did have an outdoor cat for 14 years, always knowing when I came back from housesitting at the Lake, that there would come a time when she didn't answer my call, and then it happened.....

Bless you, Girl!

How good to hear! So much sadness in this lovely family, glad to hear some good news!

Best of luck to him!!! Restaurant biz ain't easy, and it it the PERFECT PLACE TO TAKE AIRPORT ARRIVALS!

I am so sorry for you. When I was seriously injured several years ago my employees took advantage of the situation, believing I would never leave the hospital, and relieved me of so many treasured possessions, including my grandmother's wedding rings. They considered it their right and there was nothing to be done. . They are long gone and I am hoping to be out of here soon. 

Repelente at Costco.

What happened to the lady who used to be just behind the mercado in Chapala? I always found great garden clothes there....

I've got thousands of heirloom seeds, all refrigerated, likely viable when I arrive August/Sept. Happy to share

Ever hear one of my grannie's faves?

"Handfull of gimme, mouthfull of not enough?"

Grandma used to say, " Beware the hand full of gimme, mouthfull of not enough!!!"

I like the idea of the big flashy sticky ones! But with this message. A visit to a local grua might make good sense too......Someone who I think wore a coonskin cap said, "Be prepared!"  Oh, and from my Texas childhood..."Alway's  fulla gas and facin' out"

Good one, Girl!!!

Beware the curse of the extreme cobblestoneamania! Canes are very useful, as are those clever canes with a little seat that folds out. Great tianguis if you're half my age or really spry! Or a dozen young persons to bear you on a comfy litter......

You will see an enormous fenced vacant lot just across the highway from the tianguis. It would accommodate at least a thousand cars, and yet it is not used. Why? Bienvenidos.....

Bezerk has graciously accepted my heartfelt apology and I apologize to all of you for inflicting my raging grief on you. I have just not been able to be myself the last couple of weeks. I beg your pardon.

I do apologize. I guess a recent tragedy of my own has unhinged me more than I realized. Please forgive me.

You're absolutely right! And I wish her the best of luck in her pursuit of something other than boring.

You must have an awful lot of time on your hands.....and there's so much to be done other than improving our eye makeup.....good luck with your hobby.

I personally have never been called a "lair" but I have certainly spent time in at least one.....and I just might be moving into another. It will be a lair of totally true information and not all will be allowed there....
