  1. Polo can maintain those aids for which he has software. When I first started using him he did not have the right software for the aids I had bought in the states at Costco. Before going to Polo I went to the Costco near the Galleria Mall a half dozen times. First I tried on my own then Costco sent a staff person who spoke English, then I brought my own interpreter - nothing worked. As someone above said hearing aids need to be tweaked occasionally so local is a lot easier. I have a pretty severe hearing loss and have been wearing aids for about thirty years. I have bought 2 pair for myself and one set for my husband and am totally pleased with Polo.
  2. My understanding is that the last state in which you lived is where you vote and where your estate is probated.
  3. Went there yesterday and they are coming today as are they for my friend. Seems they are not focusing on prepaid so worth going in and asking.
  4. I am perplexed by the statement that they are finished with Ajijic Centro. I am prepaid and have not been installed. Guess it is time to go to their office. Anyone else in the same position?
  5. Did the dogs mind the taste? I find my challenge is getting something down them.
  6. In the case of the foreigner whom the Ministry of the Interior considers a refugee, as well as when dealing with minors and people over sixty years, it will be sufficient that they prove they know how to speak Spanish, through the language test.
  7. There is a new and very nice bazaar across from Puritan Poultry. I think they are called Bazaar del Lago. First time I went there, a week or so ago, they were loaded with nice things. Next time many of those things were sold. It is a large space which allows things to be displayed nicely. Would suggest it for furniture, rugs, etc. Maybe It's Kinda for some smaller stuff.
  8. Used Rene this week and he was most helpful. He fixed a lock that had been installed with some parts out of place, changed the combination of exterior locks and made new keys. He is fairly priced and very helpful as he explained a detail of my locks that no one else had done. He also does rides to airport, Tequila and anywhere else you would lime. Highly recommend him.
  9. Thanks, I am going to give Rene a try. Nice to know he has a good working relationship with Aragon and will refer on, if needed.
  10. My research on this board leads me to think that Herbierto Aragon is the go to locksmith in the area. Does he speak English? I have needs that may be too complicated for our limited Spanish. Does anyone have an alternative recommendation for English speaking locksmith with whom they have had good experience?
  11. Want it for this time of year. Not interested in the whole roller/cover thing as I am pretty sure we would never use it. Still wondering if there is any new technology which would enable us to get more heat for the space available. Anyone have a gas heater that they can comment on?
  12. Two years ago we talked to everyone selling solar pool heat and were convinced that our area available for installation was insufficient to install enough units to properly heat our pool. Further, we are resistant to installing a solar cover believing it too cumbersome to remove and replace for casual use. I am wondering if there is any development in solar technology that might result in more juice for the space? Also I have now been researching "solar pool rings" thinking they might suffice. We would be happy to raise the temperature of our pool by five or so degrees. Thoughts?
  13. Thanks, ordered on Mercado Libre and expect to have it soon. I believe the number they wanted was to ensure my identity. It seemed to say delivery would be quicker with the information.
  14. I am not a citizen but a permanent resident. Tried that number but they wouldn't take it.
  15. I have gotten pretty much through the process of ordering and now am stumped when it asks for Ingresa el número de INE
  16. I heard one today and absolutely agree that the noise should be enough.
  17. One of my dogs was attacked yesterday by a huge muscled up pit bull. Fortunately he was relatively unscathed but I want to be prepared in case the occasion arises again. I know lots of people carry pepper spray but in a situation such as we experienced yesterday. I would have sprayed my dog as well. If I had had a stun gun, I would have been able to get him in the back and, hopefully, scare him off. All suggestions appreciated.
  18. If you haven't already gotten your ticket for the dinner after Thriller, you can stop by Zombie practice on Saturday from 1 to 3.  They are selling them there.

  19. It is easy enough to have a drain installed. We did it because the standing water was obnoxious and possibly attractive to mosquitoes.
  20. It is not a question of the providers accepting Medicare but, rather, that Medicare does not cover one out of the states. When we left we had a supplemental policy which covered one for the first 60 days out of the country. Not sure if all supplementals have that same condition but it did help us as my husband had some expensive medical needs during that time frame. We have a catastrophic coverage policy which we buy through a group policy offered by Focus on Mexico. Your choices increase the younger you are so make sure to investigate and not get shut out because you reached a certain age. Do not be deceived that some practices take Medicare. If they do they have a gimmick.
  21. If Vargas is the one who comes to the Ajijic Clinic beware.  My husband used him with very bad results and doesn't believe that he did the surgery himself.

  22. Vargas made my husband's eye worse rather then better.  Very bad experience.

      Hi there,

      Can you tell me which Dr. Vargas? My research shows there are two: Dr. Jose Alberto Vargas Silva and Dr. Jose Manuel Vargas Sarquis.  So confusing.

      The one who goes to the Ajijic clinic.

       

  23. Does anyone know this doctor, Karen Gonzalez, and have any thoughts as to her competency?
