  1. SO... after more years than I can remember (maybe never??), had to buy new batteries for Panasonic cordless base unit phone plus 2 more handsets. That means SIX. Of COURSE they only come in packs of FOUR... so now am sitting with two useless batteries that will probably outlive me/ any use for them.🤣 IF anyone is the same boat of four not being enough, happy to sell you two since 4 (Steren) were $140 pesos
  2. Scary enough but be glad it was "only" a rattler. Worse danger is Coral snakes..... usually in the hills above us, but have been found in some (gated) communities backing up onto same. Small, fast, and VERY poisonous. And years ago a friend found one on the floor of his pick-up within Ajijic town limits.
  3. Just outside entry to Tobolandia..... to the west.
  4. Shot in the dark here but maybe useful? Why don't you check with the municipal office in Chapala, as they're the ones who'll issue the permit required. Thinking they should have names of several so you can check them out.
  5. Thank you for "paying it forward".
  6. Your friend will get you thru this. Yes you CAN "buy/comprar" within the time limit and get the price quoted. In your case, since you have C/C registered, you're simply not understanding how to complete the purchase..... and it will be "completed" instantly (and a confirming email sent to you). But you will!! For what it's worth, I NEVER pay with C/C on ML (or any other place other than Amazon). I know it's a PITA to get to Oxxo in a rush, but that's ONLY needed when there are only a very few of the items left in stock. Then you go to Oxxo, present the code, and pay.
  7. Flora: Please bear in mind that unless you have water continuously circulating ( like a fountain included) you must scrub out the bath very frequently with something coarse enough to get into the small, if not noticeable, crevices. Otherwise rapidly gets slimy, and then green, on the bottom...... like any stagnant water. Simply adding water does not do the trick. Experience not mine, but of a friend. So keep it clean... and ENJOY!!! Envy you. One dog here has such strong prey drive it even extends to birds on the wing so we had to remove "tryout" model. 😢
  8. Many of us use ML every few days... or more. Not at all hard. Do you read enough Spanish to understand the page? If not, perhaps enlisting a bilingual friend to help until you know the all the steps?
  9. I KNOW what a Notario is.... but since Cedros used the English word "notary" (different qualification but OP is only one year here so???) I did too. My point is you do NOT need a Notario nor the high cost of same. Main thing is OP really needs to be sure they use the correct form... hence the suggestion to go back to Swiss gov't and check that out.
  10. Am I misunderstanding OP? Seems to me he is also offering (to needy person) .... not seeking??
  11. Each country has their own quirks. Do they not have a form specific to Switzerland on the website you can download and print? Canada certainly does.... more forms than you could ever imagine could exist. 😂 Canada accepts doctor, lawyer (not notary), teacher, etc but not a family member. I get our veterinarian to sign ours when needed and just call him "Dr."...... no need to specify D.V.M. LOL
  12. Don't forget to put the street name before the house number. And do not use #
  13. Not exactly MtnMama. I was referring to FREE shots which will be given at health units etc. under gov't program.
  14. Like Andy said....... info about Ocote....👍 more endless photos of your private life ..... 👇
  15. Have tried both. PlagaSin wins hands down for me.
  16. For those of us who are not interested in lining up and paying the price for quadrivalent flu shots, Informador says today that Nov 3 is the first day for this year's flu shots in Mexico. No idea how long they will take to trickle down to us, but easy enough to check at the little clinic in SAT or the bigger one in Chapala. Maybe this week's Reporter will have an idea too.
  17. Actually Fred it's not their fault. Because of high volume of stuff arriving at Laredo, it's Customs that has required inspection of each and every item, even if under the $50 limit. Apparently a lot of under-declared value and/or smuggling being tried. When Amazon ships directly (from U.S.) they have a means to bypass that .... probably by virtue of huge volume they handle??? And IF the shipper takes the easy road, as in my case, and puts something very small in a much larger but "convenient" box, then the lineal measure rule applies.
  18. Do NOT have it shipped to you via Laredo, and then get to here via iShop courier. Just did that twice..... first time too stupid to know "the system" and Amazon's (private U.S. selller ) does not ship to Mexico. What happens is: 1. gets to Laredo and immediately goes to customs regardless of dollar value. 2. customs broker gets involved and duty is assessed by some mean fairy elf at whim 3. now comes from Laredo to iShop (in your case)..... BUT.... ship cost from Laredo to here even for boxholder is based on weight and total lineal measure of pagckage. So for a $27 USD Amazon purchase, plus ship and tax, was $35.71.....PLUS another $29 USD to get it here because shipper used a box 5 times too big so under weight but oversized. 😱🤬 2nd because it was something I REALLY needed and was ONLY available in Canada ????? so was even more complicated but that's on me.
  19. They sell it in hardware directly across corner (to west) from iShop in San Antonio (on highway) . Yes it's excellent. Yes it's safe for pets. Have used it for years. Ants literally drop in their tracks!!!! (A few other pests too.....)
  20. They are, but depends a little on WHERE on the body is to be protected, and how flexible and determined the dog is for getting at it!
