  1. I have 2 good vacuum cleaners, both bought in the US, which need repairs. An upright Shark, which needs a new on/off switch; and a canistar Miele, which seems to have a burnt-out motor. Electrodomesticos said, "no can get parts". I can see the parts needed! for sale on Amazon.mx, ebay mx etc. Any suggestions on who might actually be able to repair these?
  2. Lexy - thanks so much!  Let me know what she says, will you?  I do speak Spanish but I have problems understanding it over the phine.

      I will ask her and let you know. How should we work it if she is available for an interview if you have problems over the phone? I do, too, a bit, in English or Spanish.

      My email is Thetis01@gmail.com

  3. Holdrja--My cleaning woman comes tomorrow and I'll ask if she has time open.  She lives in San Antonio, near my house and takes the bus to get to me in Mirasol. I'm not sure if getting to  east of Chapala would be a problem.

    She is excellent. She cleans thoroughly, does laundry, irons beautifully. She understands my limited Spanish and practically mind reads what has to be done.

    I pay her 60 p plus bus fare (roughly 4 hrs, mornings). Plus coffee and some fruit.

    She always lets me know ahead of time if she has to take her kids to the doctor's, but that doesn't happen often.

    Do you speak Spanish? I could have her call you tomorrow if you wish and if she has time open.

    Or respond to this note and ask me anything more about her.

      Hi Lexy - thanks, I'll keep her in mind but I may have someone now, who lives near me.  We interviewed her yesterday, we'll give her a trial for a month.  If she doesn't work out, I'll reach out to you and Lucila.

      Hi, Judy--

      My cleaning woman cleans thoroughly, does laundry, irons beautifully. She doesn't speak English but understands my limited Spanish and practically mind-reads what has to be done.

      I pay her 60 p plus bus fare (roughly 4 hrs, mornings). But you'd discuss payment with her.  Plus I have coffee and some fruit on hand for her. She lives in San Antonio.

      She's very reliable. Lets me know ahead of time if she has to take her kids to the doctor's, but that doesn't happen often.

      Do you speak Spanish? I could have her call you if you wish.

      Or respond to this note and ask me anything more about her.

      I hope this note reaches you. Let me know if you get it. If I don't hear I'll try a PM to you.

      re the eye doctor, I mean...

  5. I saw some Saltillo tile at a tile store in Chapala - on the same side street as the bus station, past the Prisa paint store but before the fabric store.
  6. I've used Ambien/zolpidem occasionally, but what I've found that works even better for me AND is dirt cheap is difenhidramina -- the generic equivalent of Nytol. It's an antihistamine, available without prescription. Also helps to just clear the mind and count backwards from 100...just concentrate on the numbers...99..98..I'm getting sleepy...yawn
  7. There is a reverse osmosis water vendor in back of the market in Chapala. An American from that company handed out fliers at the American Legion, that's how we heard of them. We just started using them because our old water company moved. They charge 10 pesos a garafon for pickup, 13 pesos with delivery I believe (we always pick up). Don't have the name, phone or address, if anyone needs it PM me and I'll get that info the next time we go.
