I agree with Chapalence... why do you think you should get away with paying a low price for an IMPORTED entertainment item that the typical countryman will never get their hands on? You accept (and may have bragged about) the lower housing costs, food costs and just lower general cost of living here. Then the locals now have to pay a higher cost of living cuz many like you whom have decided to stay here and have driven up the cost of living for them.

Just consider it an Entertainment Tax, I think the US invented that one.

EDIT: P.S. I have never liked golf.

Do you like it up there on your high horse?  Feels good to be above everyone else, doesn't it?   Be careful, sometimes them high horses are made of paper and down you go!

I got a scorpion sting about 10 yrs ago.  I took a Benadryl and went to Cruz Roja.  Dr. Sam Thelin was working at the time and said the good news / bad news is that the Benadryl would mask any harmful aspects of the bite, so he told me to lay there for about an hour.  He came back after that period and checked my lips,eyes, and throat and said I was ok.

 

Probably might be safer to have some antidote on hand for pets, though ! 

Benadryl seems to be the consensus.  Thanks!

This is what I keep in the fridge at all times. Had over 5 stings to date and it worked every time.

Thanks!

first if at all possible get the insect and take it with you to a local clinic. The Drs. will know what is the best treatment as there are different types of scorpions. There are different specific medicines.

If at all possible do not take anything before going to the clinic as it could make it harder to treat you. 

If you must take something many people use Benadryl liquid

Thanks!

Any recommendations for best antihistamine to keep on hand for scorpion bites?

Get on the phone to their service line  800 510 0510   might be only YOUR house

Is this number Spanish only or do they provide a choice for English?

Looking for great acoustic, straight ahead jazz piano trios playing in Guad.  Any recommendations?

Does anyone know the reason for the massive amount of cohetes in Chapala this past week and especially yesterday and today? I mean hundreds, more than I've ever heard in 10 years.  They're being set off at the Purissima church night and day.

My fees with 2 specialists at SAT were all 1,000p.

I am writing this because I feel people need to know about this place before they get involved with it and get burned.  We went for an initial exam with a doc at RH.  She was in her very early 20`s and her responses sounded like she was reading out of a manual.  Not impressive.  The cost was 2600 pesos.  When we asked about the different charges on the bill, the woman at the counter could not explain one of the charges.  Neither could the director of the hospital.  What a nightmare!  It felt awful to be there, like these people were just trying to milk us for as much money as they possibly could and cared not the slightest for us.  We will never set foot in the place again.  San Antonio hospital charges 1,000 pesos for this, always for doctors that give you confidence and sound like they are talking from much experience.

And aren't you the lucky one then. Some people (1) don't have solar water eg. many renters, (2) don't LIKE on demand heaters.... count me in,(3) didn't squirrel away a boatload of Cana-bucks like you did a few months ago at  good exchange rate, and are now watching same diving for seabed by the hour, and / or  (4) live on income amounts/sources from ??? that are making them find all kinds of ways to save a little here and there while all kinds of prices here skyrocket.

 

Is it necessary to make a personal attack in an otherwise fairly civil conversation?

Thanks, TS, great feedback.

Check with garden store. Perhaps a friendly treatment that won’t kill friendly insects like bees and lady bugs. but get rid of them. A soapy type solution or neem type oil spray. 

They`re harmless, no need to react with such fear.  Relax.  In a little while, if let to finish it's metamorphosis (when`s the last YOU had one?),  we`ll have a new winged one to grace our world.

Thanks, everyone, for your inputs.

Ajijic Weather - Home

One point along the lake so your results may vary.

Thanks, John. 32.54 inches is surprising, a fairly normal year with more to come.  It has seemed to me we`ve had much less.

How much rain have we had so far lakeside?

I need recommendations for a travel agent in Ajijic with great experience in Egypt.  Has anyone who has visited there used a travel agent in this area?  Gracias.

I guess they were going to their secret base under the lake.

Yes, it`s intergalactic.  They decided to have it here because of the weather.

An endoscopy runs 10,000 pesos by a private gastroenterologist doing it in Guad but can be much higher at one of the new local hospitals, one of which is little more than an expensive scam.

Go see Efrain Gonzalez. His place  may have it since he sells small bottles of paint 

His store is on Marcos Castellanos #7, Ajijic.
