Agree !

Glad you didn't use a CC.

I just read that Mercado Libre is one of the most hacked businesses in Mexico. Latest hack compromised over 300,000 customers information.

In my 25 years at Lakeside, I have learned that most employees of a business, such as Walmart, do not care if you buy anything or not. They will still get their weekly salary. If you question them and tell them of faults, they will just shrug and agree with you. I find you have 2 choices, really; (1) just accept it, or (2) move on.

I give trust when it is earned, never before !

FWIW: When I call the USA 800 number, I simply dial 001-800---. A message comes on that says this is not toll free and I will be charged IR, but I never have been charged as I have a 150p for 25 day plan.

FWIW, We have eaten at fairly nice restaurants in Guadalajara and have been served bread with lipstick on a piece,and a thumb imprint on the bottom; chips with a bite out and lipstick marks; salsa with pieces of chips in it, etc. So, do Mexican restaurants use food to serve you that other people have had on their table? Absolutely !!!

Just a FWIW, I have blocked him, among others, so I never get my panties is a wad about his posts, nor do I ever fight myself about whether to respond to his posts. It sure is easy to do that. I strongly suggest you do that and skip on forward with your life. If there is a post by someone responding to him, I just skip on by without reading it. You can do this too. Doesn't take much effort to block and skip on by. Good luck. P.S. I see the damage being caused by those who respond, because if they simply ignored, he would stop posting. He lives for the responses, and those who respond live to respond to him. Life should be more than that, but those types do live among us. and they always will.

We have found over the 25 years we have been in Mexico that if it is routine, we use local doctors and meds. BUT, if we feel it is more than that, we go back to the US, as more than routine can quickly get very expensive when paying out of pocket in Mexico. Medicare and Advantage have been very good to us over the last 15-18 years when we needed them. Cost of going back and forth there is not that much. Be prepared for the unexpected. Fortunately for them, many here in Mexico have no money concerns so they find the cost of more than routine health care here to be an insignificant expense. A few of us need to return NOB for expensive treatments. Good luck, DottieJane.

You need to take the car out of Mexico by Feb. 4. You can go with your friends, but must return in time to take it out. But, if you go with your friends, DO NOT turn in your FMM at the Border, as you need that when driving your car out and also when returning to Mexico to get the car. Failure to take it out by Feb, 4 will open you up to lots of possibly Bad things that (let me assure you)you do NOT want to experience in Mexico. Mexico can be a country you don't want to mess with. Good luck.

Well said ! Common sense is a virtue that, unfortunately, all do not possess

They can go for most of that other month, not turn in their Fmm and use it to return before it expires, and drive that car out of Mexico on time. Failure to take it out on time puts them at risk of possibly losing their car

When does your TIP expire and do you plan on driving your car out of mexico before that, or not?

Or, get a new chip.

He died about 2006 in a hospital in Guadalajara, was a veteran, he was short, wore cowboy boots, cowboy hat, and a had an old model T car. Many locals knew him, as he had lived in Chapala for some time. Had a mustache. Family trying to locate grave site. Thanks for any help.

You two are obviously very Special. The OP topic was " Please stop ignoring traffic "DO NOT" signs ".

Since it doesn't apply to anyone I know and you know, and the op knows, why come on like it does? And, if you are not a troll, why would you even both to respond to my question for the op?

They live among us !

I find, more and more, that people coming to Mexico (especially those where money is not a concern for them) expect to live a life very similar to what they experience where they are coming from. And, they are put off by people suggesting to them that they need to modify their expectations to fit in to the reality that is Mexico. Just my observations...

Just wondering why you are posting this here? Do you know for a fact that these "violators" are reading this, or are you just airing out your mind and providing food for the trolls?

I have been asked by his Family in Texas if anyone knows where he was buried. He died around 2006. Had an old model T car. Can anyone here give me that info to pass on? TIA

Yep, well said.

Next time you decide to put those on "display" please advise with a post here(time, date, place) for those of us who need to experience an uptake in our hearts' pumping abilities. TIA
