  1. Need a very ordinary used 4-drawer (wood) dresser. So far (Riberas, AJijic and FB) priced out of sight! To those who live or shop in Chapala... are there any there? Gracias in advance
  2. Client local for local moves (like us) is also strong.
  3. They moved us and a HUGE houseful of furniture Wed 23 March. Veronica (office lady) is overwhelmed with client load and owners are currently NOB. Also she sometimes doesn't get there in a.m. until closer to 10:00. Suggest dropping by is a good idea. By the way they did a SUPER job.
  4. Animal Shelter has flats ("cases?) of 12 ---- all one flavor. At 22.50 pesos per can I thought rather pricey? Didn't check how many flavors available as I don't want that.
  5. You're thinking of the Mercado Corona..... little west of the north side of the main cathedral downtown. This building makes that one look like a street tianguis.
  6. Largest covered market of its type in Latin America suffered extreme losses in about 25% this morning along the S-SE side all 3 floors but worst on first and 2nd. Continuous coverage on Guad Channel 4 since I turned TV on at 6:30 a.m. Here's a link to some of the pix. https://www.informador.mx/jalisco/San-Juan-de-Dios-Estas-son-las-imagenes-que-dejo-el-incendio-en-el-Mercado-Libertad-20220331-0043.html
  7. You can still get individual cans .... each or case of 12 (24?) but NOT the 6-pack 3-flavor ones. Walmart had not one can in sight on Tuesday. I have never seen Felix at Costco (Vallarta) but can't say for Sam's.
  8. Legally speaking rent can ONLY be charged / collected in pesos.... r.e. brokers or private owners. .......and a middle class neighborhood. Not dirt floors and windows w/o glass and real doors. Not a Unicorn at all. Where the Unicorn part comes in happens when you say what they want to /are able to pay. Rents have gone up in Chapala as in all other places. I know one person who moved from San Antonio to 1st or 2nd town east of Chapala where she got a much better rent for a nice house. How did she find it? Asked a taxi driver hanging around the plaza in that town.... had a house in 2 days.
  9. Not now you won't. Learned yesterday Purina has discontinued 6-packs pate with 3 flavors. Only indiv cans pate at horrendous price. They said many suppliers... not just Purina...... have discontinued much, including canned prescription foods (dogs and cats). Choose an option I did NOT like. Will be interesting to see who hates change more.... me or the felines. 😾
  10. My dear friend...... no way in the world is a hunk of pegboard worth $2,700 pesos!!! BUt thanks for your effort. Yes Mtn Mama, 3 Mexican frineds said that madereria and I'll call them soon to check before going over there.
  11. Interesting.... not one soul mentioned that Canadian PP photos are a different size than U.S., must be on photographic-quaility paper, and be stamped on the back as to the date and the photo studio that made them.
  12. Thanks. Planning a trip there tomorrow as I need to check out price of Royal Canin special canned for one cat.... sometimes they're better than ML, other times not.... and at the price it pays to shop. But this will be first foray into buying Felix anywhere other than Abastos.
  13. Anyone seen them locally? Do NOT want indiv flavor/cans. Do NOT want Whiskas Felix 6-packs in pate form are a better buy but none available on Mercadolibre right now 😻
  14. tablero perforado (according to my friend Mr. Google)
  15. you don't "make" pegboard just have to find some will start a local search tx anyway
  16. Tx but no way am I going there from here just for that! 😝
  17. OK guys..... hubbie needs pegboard ( or whatever they call it these days) to set up with most-used hand tools (screwdrivers, pliers, needle-nose pliers, wire cutters etc) in work area of our new rental. Suggestions please. Gracias
  18. Someone here will know how to contact the group that ships dogs north by the plane and busload on a very regular basis. If foster homes can be found until they can be sent, pretty sure this is your answer.
  19. Yes specialty foods (dry and canned) have gone up astronomically. I have one cat on Royal Canin special canned so know of which I speak. Sometimes Lakeside Friends is the best price. (They already stock Hill's and Royal Canin.... not necessarily all options that are sold. But kidney diets are pretty common so guessing they'll have those.) Other times it's Mercado Libre...... where you have to check ALL the listings for the specific product because sometimes ONE merchant will be offering a better price than the rest. There are NO cheap options for these products unfortunately.
  20. Gets weirder and weirder....... (1) Appt. in Guad today took a long time in process, but was compelted as expected. Then (2) asked the lady "how do I begin mione?" becasue will also need one. She took my IFE, checked computer.... and TA DAHH!!! already HAVE one. But here's the thing..... dates show when applied for and when finalized..... and they correspond to NOTHING eg renewals of Mx PP, DL, or any other thing. So WHO did this for me... and HOW.... and WHY? All info is totally correct but I'm still pretty flabbergasted. (And no, the bank doesn't have this one either)
  21. Nope. You might have an "assigned" short version. We've had CURP since it came into being.... but RFC that shows on bank statement is definitely NOT a "real" one.
  22. NO LONGER can you obtain one on line. Recent rule change. Now part of it can be done, but to complete..... appt. needed with bum in seat in front of officials in Guad at SAT office. (Learned this the hard way, and head to Guad on Wednesday at the crack of dawn......😬.)
  23. Atta' girl! Depending on the cost, you may wish to inform landlord's son you'll be giving him a copy of receipt and deducting that portion from next rent. BUT remember....to be fair...... smaller day-to-day maintenance issues are your responsibility.
