  1. I M O........ all good intentions aside. OHIP is the ultimate authority on the OP's question, and OHIP is where OP should be looking in order to get full and complete info direct from source.
  2. Have you looked at the lake level lately? Let it POUR.... whatever hour!!!
  3. Gee.... I wonder if you think NOB gov't websites should all have Spanish buttons.......?
  4. If the background circumstances were different, I'd think this could be funny too. But rich or poor, prince or pauper, celeb or ordinary guy..... when the backstory includes serious, sudden abdominal surgery for "undisclosed reasons" on Kate Middleton, William's wife and mother of three young children, with a recovery time that could be 2 months or more, coming a time when abdication on Charles's part is being discussed......... the stress on William is enormous and NOT funny. NOT a comment on whether I'm pro or con-Royal. Just viewing this from what I hope is a compassionate and empathetic view of a human being at a very bad time of his life. PLEASE. No further written comments needed from me or others. Thank you.
  5. That only works if you happen to be right there at the time the guy arrives AND have to time to check names on envelopes before he speeds off again......
  6. No, it would have been that TP was in the "sale this week" group. (See details above for Kiko.)
  7. Kiko you're too right. Not a fly so much as a little ( IMO) sleight of hand. Here's the longer version .... for you and others. Someone had told me about the banner, so when I didn't get any pet food at CC in early January, I decided to check Pancho's out. Keep in mind... I've now been to Guad ( 3 stops and back, 5 1/2 hours) and am tired, so not fully alert. Entered the west store and I saw a bag of cat food directly in front of me, along with a few other "selected" items with the "expected" Costco prices. Dog food I wanted ( so I thought) included. Gee.... must be true!! Then went to the dog food section the dog food I wanted and saw the "correct" price, but not THAT food on the shelf above. Saw another bag ( different age group but fine --- NOT). Got help from staff and went to checkout with the two items. Cashier asked me for more money than should have but tired old lady brain didn't register, so paid her. Stood there after and checked receipt. Cat food was right, but dog food was $300 pesos too much. Girl was confused by my (Spanish) questions becasue SHE knew the deal that I didn't. In the end, all she could give me was a phone number for "Juan", but said he wasn't at the store until next morning. Came home and called Juan, who was VERY accomodating and explained to me they only offer a few CC items "on sale" every week, tho' they carry a much wider selection. Asked him if they had the "age group advertised" and after checking, he came back to phone and said yes, he did, would set it aside, and I could go next day to exchange/ get pesos refund. Deal!! Next day drive out, food in trunk, to west store. Girl informs me he's not there because he works in the main store. Guess I was supposed to know that...... 😒 Anyway, BACK in car, all the way from west to east store, and after some difficulty with cashier ( I guess he's a major player, and doesn't juts come running) but told her to tell him who I was and why I was there, and he showed up quickly. Exchange made. Cash refunded. Then he took me into the east ( of the open courtyard) building where they have ONLY Costco items and showed me how to look at what I want, and IF it's "on sale" that week, there's bright orange sticker showing same. Meanwhile everything else you might want is there, but NOT at CC prices. Juan speaks English. Only my good Spanish got me to him with other staff involved. Lesson WELL learned!!!!!
  8. I still drive to Costco every 6 - 7 weeks. Last trip they didn't have dog OR cat food I wanted. That's when I learned the Panchos' "trick". ( Long story ---here's the Cliff´s notes version) Every week they offer selected items out of their entire CC collection at actual Costco prices. So IF what you want is in the list that week, they are truly the same as long as stock lasts. For some reason, today is the "new deals" day, and hub's is off for dog and cat food to last until I head to Costco / Abastos / cat litter clinic source at end of the month. Otherwise, would have had to go earlier, messing up Abastos and litter supplies. Just FYI I am NOT a Pancho's ( or Super-lake) shopper and in fact had never been in the west store until desperate for dog/cat food early January ( before leaving town following week), nor the east store for longer than I can remember.
  9. I know they offer a few Costco items at Costco prices, and change those "sale" offers every week. In the west store, does anyone know if that starts each Friday, and if so, what time? I'm told they're displayed earlier in the east store, but that's a long way from Villa Nova... especially on a Friday a.m.! And please don't tell me to look on FB ( not a user). Gracias in advance
  10. Depends on what you post/reply doncha think?
  11. Slow learner isn't she. Time to choose.... and keep the CAT!!!!!
  12. If the oil stains are fresh, you can always sprinkle a layer of clumping cat litter on them!
  13. Those are not current prices, even before OP's retina situation.
  14. AND they're really, really good at what they do. Surgery itself happens in Guad FYI
  15. A washer is a washer. An o-ring is a different breed of cat.
  16. Also check with Ferreteria on same corner as iShop. They have a LOT of stuff you can't find elsewhere, but like ML said, take the old one.
  17. Oh I wish! In my case, do not do anything like that, make important decisions, or try to figure out anything more complicated than a crossword puzzle. Only for ME, that magic hour is 5 pm
  18. It's called "Reparaciones Camarena". If it can be fixed ( and is cheaper than new), he's the man!!
  19. BUT........... big rig truckers (nationwide) have called a general strike in certain states ( Jalisco at top of the "danger" list) on Monday Feb 5, starting at 8 a.m. Protesting unsafe highways, robbings, killings, dangerous work condtions, etc. Chapala-Guad hwy, macrolibramiento, and to an extent periférico all named as major trouble spots. NOt clear in the following if they'll just block one lane, or ??? Anyone heading to airport for Monday a.m.best take into consideration!! https://www.informador.mx/jalisco/Manifestacion-en-Jalisco-Marcharan-transportistas-por-inseguridad-en-carreteras-del-pais-20240201-0139.html
  20. THIS Carrol was mid 80's, devoted her life to "Scottie" (her dog) until he grew too old and frail, and in the last 6 months of this year was a frail little lady (less than 95 lbs) in tremendous pain since last summer, with more health issues discovered in the fall. Cannot see her as a garage / yard sale person but.........? Lived on corner Nicolas Bravo / 16 Septiembre. I know more, but at this point nobody's business other then perhaps by p.m.
