     How big is she, can she go in the cabin?

     

     

     

    That was my thought. She sounds small enough that she could go in a travel carrier. Also...what about the folks that bring dogs up to the US (the big red bus?)? I realize that's not necessarily their thing but maybe they could help for a fee or know of someone? Or like Mainecoons, maybe someone heading up by car could help? Could someone foster her for you until arrangements could be made? I'm sorry, but I would sell my blood to make sure my dogs came with me. I'm honestly not judging you, but please consider all options.

  2. And even if you see the official version of the sign, who's to say that it's being used correctly? A lot of folks seem to treat the sign as community property. Hubs has a very obvious handicap (amputee), but if he's not with me, I don't ever park in a blue spot. He doesn't drive anymore, so I sometimes get funny looks if I pull into one and hop out, but it's only if he's with me. Once he steps out, the same folks who were giving me filthy looks suddenly look down or away :)  I do hope that they start enforcing the rules, but....

    I know that startlink is good, but it will be interesting to see how it is once the rainy season starts. It is a satellite and so affected by weather. I'd keep my Telmex until then. Please give a follow up report once rainy season kicks in. Thanks!

    Great point. I've been really, really happy with it (even the hubs is!), but you're right about it being a satellite and the weather, etc. I'll drop a line once rainy season hits. Meanwhile, between the speeds and our new Fire Cube, buffering is down a LOT and our TV streaming has been pretty good which is the biggest reason why we got it. Dish was becoming iffy, so we saw the handwriting on the wall and got rid of it. Meanwhile, the price of the satellite unit has come down quite a bit. I think it's going for around $350usd and the monthly charge dropped in half and is around $55. For us, it's worth it.

    That sounds like a terrible experience.  Where you able to report this ? They use to have a person that dealt with care issues.

    Unfortunately, the powers that be, at SA, do not read this web site.  Maybe a compilation of all the complaints submitted to them, hopefully might help.  

    I  went back to try to talk to the doc on a separate day. I called, spoke to several people and was given the runaround. They gave me his direct number, but he didn't bother to answer. I actually went in to try to set something up and was treated even worse, if that was possible. I was left standing there as staff just ignored me. I got fed up, left, and went to Hospital Ajijic.

    For the happy ending: Dr. Rodriguez at Ajijic Hospital knew immediately what was happening...from the blood results done by HSA!  He arranged an ambulance, a renal specialist, and set things up at Hospital San Jose Villareal in Guad for emergency dialysis.  If I had trusted HSA, hubby probably would not be here today. Yeah, it's safe to say Hell will freeze over before I ever cross that threshhold again. 

    BTW, the hospital in Guad was probably one of the best I've ever experienced. Quality care and rooms that were nicer than hotel suites. They really took the patient and his/her family's comfort into account when it was designed.

  5. Sorry, but after the experience with them when hubby was in RENAL FAILURE and they basically ignored him in the ER (and much worse, but it would take too much time and space to write about it here), I will never recommend or use them again. Personally, I honestly believe the quality of care depends on their perceived interpretation of your ability to pay. Not all of us dress up to strip down or stop bleeding long enough to change outfits if we've been working in the garden. Of course, that's just my opinion. YMMV.

  6. This probably doesn't quite answer your question, but...

    We use the Fire Cube for streaming. It took a little work on our part (including descriptive uses of the English language), but we were able to program TVMOB and LiveNet. These two apps gave us a load of English language programming (major networks, cable channels and a decent selection of international channels as well...all for the price of the Cube. We're not that technically inclined (I'm a dino), but there are so many videos on YouTube and websites that will walk you through the procedures that it was well worth the afternoon spent to get it set up. Those of you who are more computer savvy will find it a breeze.

    If you do not like it just do not go.  Can you imagine if everyone did this between restaurants that they do not like, banks, people who sell cars locally and the list can go on and on.

    just do not go where you do not want to for whatever reason.    Stay calm

    Or, if you don't like the posting, take a pass?

    Walmart threads are great for building traffic on this site.  🤣

    Too true. I only wrote this because I had had it with waiting in the one line that had a cashier. It was all done a bit tongue-in-cheek, obviously. Also, I'm doing it so that maybe, just maybe Wally will look up from his tequila and open --dare I say it? -- another line.

  9. I shamefully admit I still shop at the Big Blue Box store because there are products there that I can't get elsewhere. Yes, it's a painful shadow of those up north, but...

    How many times have you gone to the cashier line, only to find five, six or more folks ahead of you and it's moving as fast as drying mud? OK, I don't normally have anywhere that I absolutely have to be in five minutes or less, but when you have frozen goods that are slowly defrosting while you wait for the hordes ahead of you to finish their own transactions, well, it's frustrating. So, I have started ignoring the 20 or less sign for the self-checkouts. I'm perfectly capable of using the machines and I always pay by card for many reasons. Yes, I've gone wild and had as many as (take a deep breath) 30 items! Guess what happens...nothing. I get in, get out, and the person standing where I would have been in the cashier lane is still there and will be for a bit longer. 

    Join my mini-revolution and use the self-checkouts with a semi-full cart! Maybe then Wally will realize that one cashier, especially on the weekends, is not going to cut it.

    Well THAT'S a great bargain to get 'everyday' COSTCO product for just 10% above what one would pay if they drove all the way to Guadalajara.  IMO of course. 

    You're right if you're talking just one or two items, but I think the best bargain for more would be the Lakeside guys. All of the Costco products and just the delivery charge. It's worth it to me not to have to drive into the madness that's Guad (although I still do).

  11. For every one that replied, both here and in PMs, thank you! Dra. Claudia is giving me an emergency appointment on Monday. It's too long (and boring) to explain here, but going into Guad is extremely difficult right now, but if it had been the only option, well, Alpha1, you're right--they may be crappy, but they're the only eyes I have.

    Again, BIG thanks to every one.😍
