  1. It used to be that Mexico had very good roads everywhere you went. In the 1970s we did a lot of adventure driving and even out of the way places had good roads. Then the toll roads came into being and the government started ignoring the road system and allowed the investor owned toll roads to take over.
  2. Since the value of the peso is tied to the dollar and since they’re also saying that the value of the dollar will drop significantly next year then who knows what will happen next year. Quien sabe?
  3. Laparoscopic usually requires maybe three stab wounds, one to stick the light through, the second for the endoscope and the other for the stapling device. i had a regular repair which left a hardly noticeable scar mostly covered by pubic hair. I would go with whatever the surgeon feels most comfortable doing.
  4. Why laparoscopy? Regular inguinal herniorrhaphy only leaves a one to two inch scar and it’s in an area that no one is going to be looking at.
  5. They’re just as good as the analysts on tv.
  6. “Although Donald Trump championed building his wall, his administration only built about 85 miles of new fences. Biden will now add 20 more.” Taken from: https://time.com/6324599/bidens-trump-history-border-wall/
  7. Trump got his chance. He built 85 miles. The border is 1950 miles long.
  8. I spent a weekend in Mazamitla a couple of years ago. Our cabin had very, very poor insulation. The owner provided a stack of blankets and even that didn’t keep us from being miserable all night.
  9. I always keep a bucket to fill until the shower runs hot. I then use the bucket of water for the toilet.
  10. I understand that Apple Pay is now available at certain Mexican banks. I, myself, haven’t used it in Mexico but I use it often in the States. I’ve used Xe to transfer funds US to Mexico. They gave me a great rate and charged 2.99 service charge. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204916
  11. You should have read up on how to do a PTCA and buy yourself some stk so you don’t need medical personnel. It’s amazing what you can learn on YouTube.
  12. You’re oversimplifying this situation. Were there EKG confirmation of an MI? There are many other conditions that can mimic an MI. Did you have other health problems that could be aggravated by stk? Bleeding disorder? Ulcers?, etc. Surgical history, etc. you cannot expect an EMT to take your suggestions at that moment unless he’s experienced and able to take the responsibilitiy. even in hospitals stk is given under strict monitoring conditions. theres always doctors that like to play the “wouldav, shouldav” game, but the same thing could have happened in Houston or some outlying area in good old USA
  13. I’m lucky to live near the border. I go down and do all my paper work the night before. I used Lewis & Lewis once right before a holiday. Their offices were closed and I didn’t get my online paperwork until after I had arrived at my destination.
  14. No, they are not. EKG uses electrodes to map heart electrical activity. Echocardiogram uses sound waves to make 3D images of the heart and to measure heart flows.
  15. All you have to do is read: https://www.thirdway.org/report/the-two-decade-red-state-murder-problem
  16. 25 gauge needles are usually used with small subcutaneous doses like insulin. Best to use 22 gauge
  17. You want to start on that slippery slope of squashing freedom of expression.
  18. Again you didn’t mention the grooming and abuse that starts in church and sometimes also in school sports. I’ve never been in a gay bar but I doubt there’s children in there being groomed. many of us start out as fundamentalist Christians and quickly develop an allergy to it.
  19. USA has always been uptight about sex even though it’s being displayed everywhere. here in Mexico it’s not displayed as much but gays are more accepted. if you’ve got a problem with alternate life styles then maybe the problem is in you.
  20. In the old days we tried to outdo our neighbors by getting a nicer car than theirs. Now we get ourselves a more powerful gun than what they’ve got.
