    A friend visited in early June, first time at Lakeside. Prior to her arrival, told her that many expats here say Ajijic has “second best weather in the world.” After 10 days of 90+ temps, plus smoke from several fires, she thinks that’s the biggest falsehood we are spreading.

    soone get one month o hot eather and it is not an easy climate anymore? SHouldd remember some other places you have been..I have been hearing that story about the 2nd beat climate in the worl.. I have searched everywhee including national georaphy and never read that story and I an curious about the number 1  WHat is the best climate in the world.?

    I would thing it is all a pretty personal preerence.. For a friend who loves ice fishing Wisconsin was perfect.. to each its own.

    Everywhere  in the world where there is a change of climate after a few months everyone gets testy and anxious for the rains to start, for the rains to stop for the sun to come out etc etc..

     

     

  2. your frind made a mistake.. If she was not at their mercy she should fire them pay them off , hopefully they were not there long as independent and hire them via the nursing home again or get a lawyer to draw a contract and hire new people on her term. An accountant can figure out the IMSS. 

    Be careful I have heard of nurses doing that and then wanting more mony.. because the labor laws were not followed. Your friend needs a lawyer to help her and an account to handle the IMSS.

  3. If you were not so much into your little world , you  would understand that the Mexican legal system came from Europe   that is the connection.. we have notaries there like Mexico does... France and Germany influenced the Mexican legal system, England did not... Obviously you do not know much about the differnt cultures  and have a tunnel vision. Notarios are important people.. and even in countries where corruption is less prevalent , things happen.

  4. In France they just arrested a notario,,we have the same sytem as here , who made 5 millions euros in no time, redoing the wills of people who did not have family,  for himself.. and France is a little lesss crooked than Mexico so ,, anything can happen anywhere..

  5. I pay with a debit card everywhere I can included  for gas and grocery. ANyone says everyone pays cash  needs to get out of towwn once in a while. All my friends from Guadaljara pay with cards. The company I work wor wants us to pay with cards at the gas station if we want to be reimbursed,,, It cannot be that dangerous to pay with a card. A friend of mine was defraided of 7000 pesos by a cab in CDMX and the bank Banco Ateca returned the money..

    Lots of changes in the last 10 years.

  6. I had problems a couple of time at HSBC same one as the OP mentions. I always got the money back but it is a pain. 

    I have a couple  of local accouts and that is the best thing I ever did.They pay the electricity and Phone, I do not have to worry about it, I eventually got credit cards from them as well  and I rarely go to the branch..

  7. To me surgeons are like any trade artisans and they tend to criticize what was done before

    . My husband had spine surgery and he came out ok as he could not stand the pain before the surgery. A few years later he fell and fractured his back but did not have much pain. The new surgeon we saw said that he disapproved from the surgery the doctor did before     but that he put so many screws that these screws helped support the back and for that reason my husband was not in much pain and could heal without any other surgery  so go figure..

  8. dr Gabriel Martinez is a shoulder specialist.He did a fabulous job on my shoulder and the one he operated on is better than the other. I have hernia between L4 and L5 and he told me to see a spine specialist and he also told me he did not do that type of surgery.. .I also was told by other specialists here and in France that there wwere 3 out 5 chances that the surgery would help but the resy of the time there is no improvement at best and pain can remain and nothing can be done at worst. I need to do something but I am still shopping around for doctors.
