  1. Thanks for the tip. My travel agency didn't tell me that it was necessary anymore when I picked up my flight information and paid for my ticket yesterday for my flight from GDL to the US next week. Luckily, I have a few extra IMM forms that I will take with me just in case they are still necessary next week.
  2. Don't you have a phone book? (Write I with a smile .) I l looked up the number for Ajijic and it showed 766-2028 and 766-2154. I didn't dial those #s to see that they were accurate, but they are shown in the 2022 Chapala Directory
  3. Your answer had me even more confused, Pedro, until I remembered that at one time you were allowed to be a Millet Oiler fan . .
  4. I've heard of the Inside Lakeside forum, but I have never heard of ALV. What does ALV stand for and how do you get to check it out? Thanks in advance for you answer.
  5. I am not allowed to go to the link you posted, David77, but as I remember, if in our area, we use more than 3000 KW in a year, our rates then to the $6.884 peso rate for each and every kilowatt used. That is called the DAC rate and was the motivation for many of us to invest in electrical solar panels to ensure that during any one year period we would never to get close to being charged the DAC rate. How many KW do I use per month? it varies by the time of the year. But right now, I am purchasing less than 25 KW per month, which is next to nothing.
  6. Gosh, I thought that the cost per KWH went up lightly every 3 months or so. I did not know that it went up every month. Thank God that since I put in solar panels more than 10 years ago, I no longer use enough KWH per month to reach the DAC rate anymore.
  7. What are you being charged at the DAC rate per Kilowatt hour? Has that rate been going up each month?
  8. I'm just suggesting that if he has been here for a long time as he claims, that he had to have been posting using a different or in his case perhaps several different names. You know, changing his name after he was banned to a different name each time.
  9. The troll referred to above has stated that he has been posting on this board for many years, he posted nearly two decades. It would appear that he must have been banned several times, because he has been posting under his present name since May 10th and has so far made some 98 posts under his newest name. I have no idea what names he has used in the past.
  10. I sure do miss Mike "The computer guy". He left us to early in life. I think he was in his early to mid 60's.
  11. If that # doesn't work, they just moved their office to a new location, on the second floor of the building across the street and just West of Mom's Deli on the lake side of the Carretera.
  12. But that incredibly ugly thing next the Coca Cola sign is slowly moving forward. At least it was several weeks ago when I saw a few workers there. Give it another 10 years and lets set how it looks
  13. Thanks for sharing, MtnMama. Those pictures are so cute
  14. This has been happening to me as well. Sometimes, everything is great, but other times it takes 25 seconds or so or it simply times out with a message saying that the computer can not reach this site.
  15. I have had solar panels since the first year they arrived lakeside. I too would highly recommend Opiere Solar. The last time they came out to determine whether I had a problem or not, they discovered that everything was fine. And didn't charge me for their visit. The problem turned out to be several outdoor lights that were on 24/7, that I hadn't noticed. I have heard other good things about other companies as well. But to me, the best lakeside is Opiere Solar. By the way, their offices have just moved and are just West of Mom's Deli
  16. I have up in Seattle a collection of old coins collected by my grandfather, Some are quite old, you know 1890s etc. What I remember most is some Canadian currency he collected including Canadian 25 cent paper currency.
  17. I have been going to Doctor Haro's office for teeth cleaning for years and have noticed he is getting quite expensive. I phoned today and was quoted a price of 1000 pesos for teeth cleaning. Everyone I talk to, says that is very very expensive. So I checked with the Dr. Candy A Ugalde Mecado office and they said the price for cleaning there is 300 pesos. What am I missing here. If I remember correctly, there have been many good posts about Dr. Candy and her office. I would love some good advise about getting teeth cleaned and where to go. Thanks in advance for any advise you might post
  18. And also the quality of the internet available. In most areas, one can get reasonable to good internet. However in a few areas the internet is terribly slow and might not meet your needs.
  19. I've been using Dr. Carlos Garcia since I came to the lake part time each year in 1997. I believe he is the lead GP at the San Antonio clinic/Hospital. Is he perfect? No, I do not think anyone is. But I would highly recommend him and shall continue to use him during the 9 or so months I am lakeside, each year. So in short, I, as a patient thereof, would HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SAN ANTONIO CLINIC/HOSPITAL.
  20. I miss the Canadian toonie. I can't even remember how to spell it. How do you spell the Tunie or Tunny? The Loonie and the twoonie.
  21. Yes, my Telmex internet is down again in upper Ajijic. I just got a text message on my cell phone saying they knew about the outage and were working to fix it. I'm sure glad I have the local cable company as an internet backup.
  22. Well, at least Shaw Direct kept on working and to the best of my knowledge, all of the Canadian and US channels they carried were still working and/or viewable, during this partial outage up north.
  23. Thanks for the warning and or tips. Normally my cats get dried cat food, but once each day at about noon, my three cats demand that I provide them a treat of some kind of pasty canned cat food, which I was about out of. So when I read the above, earlier today, I went out and was able to buy some canned cat food, not in the small cans I usually get, but only in the big cans. I sure hope this shortage is not a sign of things to come, but only temporary.
  24. I have had a 33 or in my case 331 cell phone for many years. And I am sure not complaining, but why is it that I almost never receive annoying marketing phone calls. I wonder what it is that I haven't done or have done to protect me from all of these calls so many of you get. I can literally go for several weeks to months before I get a strange sales or marketing phone call. About the only bad calls I get are when someone accidently dials the wrong number and gets me, and that almost never happens either.
