  1. Mirasol has not been a fracc for a long time. It's a lovely vacant lot and a resident told me it was an open park for dogs to run free and enjoy. Everyone was picking up after their dogs. My dogs love it. I can understand why those in the neighborhood would want to keep OUTSIDERS out.
  2. Chapala has another dog park in Mirasol. Clean, friendly dogs and people. On the far West end, not fenced but very little traffic. Lots of room for dogs to play and chase a ball.
  3. Ernesto for sure. He prefers to work self directed. He sees what needs to be done and does it. My housecleaner works the same way and sees more than I do. Ernesto is digging out the weedy back lawn now and replacing with new dirt and sod. I couldn't be happier and more satisfied with his work.
  4. Yes that's true. I was young and I gave many gallons of blood and eventually platelets too. I bought the needle from the tattoo artist. It started as a father/daughter activity in a program sponsored by the Navy. He eventually died from cancer of the bladder and that was something I couldn't donate.
  5. If you can show your own personal needle you are freely allowed to give blood and donate a kidney etc... They don't ask if you're sure the shop was clean.
  6. Tell her to buy her own needle and bring it with her.
  7. When I watch YouTube it keeps buffering. Slow.
  8. I'm done with WIZZ! What is required to sign up with Totalplay if you are renting a house? Is there any authorization needed from the owner?
  9. My little boy developed a skin rash in his groin and anus area. I took him to Dr. Lulu who said it was an allergy and sold me some cream. It got a lot worse. I took a photo to Dr.Omar and just from the picture he diagnosed a fungus and sent me home with two different pills to treat him for 6 days. No cream. The rash is gone and his skin is completely healed. His suffering is over. A good vet is a treasure to find. Especially with 3 dogs and no car.
  10. That's all true. That's why I said many dogs. I have 3 and two have no problem with cheese and yogurt but one gets ill. After researching what her problem might be, I stopped the cheese and yogurt. She was well and her usual self the next day. Happy now?
  11. Many if not most dogs can become lactose intolerant as pups after weaning from their mother's milk. So no milk, milk products like yogurt or cheese.
  12. My lime tree is amazing. Each week I squeeze and measure 30 or 40 into baggies. Each frozen bag makes a pitcher of limeade. It helps to have a small chest freezer.
  13. He would like Yves. I did move. Just down the street. My email contact info is in my profile. Phone number is 331 319 1012. I'll be looking forward to our meeting again. Sunny
  14. Hi Fred. Remember me? I'll never forget the 3 days we spent together. Ha! That should get there tongues wagging. I'm always free for a meal, conversation and a laugh or two. How about Viva Mexico or Yves?
  15. Prying myself out of the recliner in the evening didn't get it done. I'm more energetic early in the morning and it's a pleasant start for the day. Afternoons are reserved for playing ball with the dogs and relaxing watching Netflix with a well earned beverage or two.
  16. Absolutely not. I've been using this machine for 10 years. That's why I recognized the new software. First screen tells you the bank fee. Then continuing you get the screen with the conversion rate. The new software has a lot of red. The screens are basically the same but slightly different. Usually upon hitting the decline button the cash pops out and the screen asks if you want to terminate or make another transaction. I'll repeat...my card popped out as soon as I hit decline. Screen stated transaction cancelled. I suspect that if I had hit accept then my pesos would have been delivered.
  17. Yes, I tried a different machine the second time with exactly the same result. When I hit "decline" my card was returned instantly.
  18. I noticed the new software in the ATM at HSBC but initially there was no difference. Then when I declined the conversion rate it immediately returned my card and canceled the transaction. I tried again with same result. My bank statement showed the two transactions and both reversals. Anyone else with this experience?
  19. Thoroughly enjoyed lunch. My friend's Sushi and my Salmon were well prepared and delicious. Staff was friendly and attentive. Previously had the vegetable tempura that we shared and was very good. Hamburgers are a specialty. We were there at noon but sign out front said breakfast 80 pesos. This restaurant is in Riberas, west of San Mateo and the garden shops.
  20. I was using the wood slat baskets with coco coir and redwood chips. Now I've switched to the baskets with the molded coco coir liners. They will also hold soil as well. I have two large fiberglass bowls filled with orchids and shredded coco coir. This year they produced 10 to 12 stems with blooms each. Last year I wrapped PVC pipe with the coco coir and attached the plants. These hung from the railing of an upstairs balcony. They did well but required daily watering. In Florida I visited an orchid nursery. The shade house was filled with baskets mounted 15 feet high and the roots hung down almost to the floor. The watering system misted the room every half hour without warning. The vanilla bean comes from an orchid and each bloom lasts for 24 hours. It must be pollinated by a particular bee to produce one bean. Now they are in shade houses and women with very small hands do the pollination. Originally they worked with the orchids in the trees on the mountain. This was where they were discovered in Papantla, Veracruz, Mexico.
  21. The Vivero just west of Mom's restaurant and nextdoor to the Wizz office in Riberas usually has Vandas and several other orchids. Doesn't open until 11 or 11 30.
  22. Never again. She said it was a food allergy and let my Abby suffer for a year while I struggled to determine which food it was. Dra. Bernice took one sniff, diagnosed an ear infection and the meds cured it in a week. I still kick myself for not getting a second opinion.
  23. I have a small yard. I mow with a push mower, edge, trim the bougainvillea, weed, spray fungicide, fertilize and the lime tree rewards me everyday with its fruit. Ernesto says he appreciates my desire to do it myself and is happy to do what I can't or would rather not do. I hope someday he's too busy for me, but until then I'm glad he comes when I call.
  24. Ernesto is coming to trim a ficus tree for me. He seems happy to do it. I just make it at his convenience and he works me in. 331 267 9364
