Respirators, unless they are fit to your face to be air tight are not effective because as you breath in it pulls air in from around the mask. Yes, wash your hands often, cough/sneeze into your elbow, and train yourself not to touch your face (especially eyes) with your hands (harder than it sounds).

Thanks for the ideas but I'm also looking for get a better fit as the window we have are old and not the best. The glass is the thinnest possible. I'll have to do some more investigation and exploration.

I remember those days. I am in the Raquet Club and was stuck with TelMex for years getting 5 Mbps download on good days and days to upload anything. Once Ilox came they ramped it up to around 9 Mbps down and .05 Mpbs upload. With Ilox, I usually get 48 Mpbs download with an occasional drop to 38. My upload is consistently 10,1 to 10.4 Mpbs upload. I'm very happy as it cost me just under 10 pesos more a month for far better speeds and service.

Where can I get someone to retrofit our arch-shaped outside doorway which face the setting sun with dual-pane doors? The heat coming in the windows is far to intense. We need better insulation. Years ago, when in San Diego, we had dual pane retro-fit vinyl windows put into our house and it made incredible difference. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Gracias

Where is the office in Chapala? I've not ever been there. I went with friends to get their INAPAM card once. Is it the same place?

You can log-in to access the subscription-only area at any time. I think you are asking, what time do they make the new issue for the week available. If that is the question, it is usually around 11 or Noon on Friday. I have found if there is a holiday it tends to be later.

400 is a good rate and fairly easy to find. The more training and licenses a person has the more they charge. Also the closer to Ajijic the more they charge. You can expect up to 500 or even 600 MXN for an hour but these are for more highly trained and better appointed offices.

Dental Express is good. I have been going there for three (almost four) years. When Dr. Edgar was there you could see him and get some expert care. The dentist there now are not experienced and so I don't trust them to do intricate work. In fact, the dentist I have now seems to need to refer me to the in-house specialist for gums and now twice for root canal advice. It takes another visit which incurs an additional charge. So I don't think Dental Express is as cheap as they were at one point since you need a few visits (and payments) to deal with an issue. It is sad as I've referred several people there when Dr. Edgar was present. Now that he is rarely there, in my experience, the level of care and the quality of care is suffering. I would appreciate knowing if other's have seen the same situation or am I just having more complicated dental issues and need to find a dentist that can deal with them without referring me to an in-house specialist.

Does anyone know the status of getting service in Racquet Club? I have been in Europe and will be returning home in July and would like to contact Ilox for installation. Should I wait until I get home or can I go ahead and contact them prior to my return and schedule something? Thanks, Tom DW

Questions regarding modem with Ilox: I am leaving for more than 3 months and that is why I didn't sign up as an initial client of Ilox. I leave Friday and I don't think they've even started service in the Raquet Club (where I live) yet. When I return in July, I plan on contacting them and signing up. But I'm wondering (Question #1) if I can bring a good quality modem back from the US or do I have to "rent" one from Ilox. If I can buy my own modem (Question #2), what are the specs that I should look for or will any modem do fine? Thanks, Tom P.S. tkessler, thanks for your above post encouraging us to be grateful for the installation and decent speeds. We are all also grateful for the push you've given to get them here. Being in the Raquet Club, we don't even get Telmex's higher speeds. I have never gotten above 10 mps and usually it is around 4 or 5 and my upload speed is never above .5 mps. It can take me weeks to upload photos from my trip to the cloud.
