SO you're saying that you've already had an angiogram because that's the only way one can determine if you need a stent? A good cardiologist would do this and since he's in there would give you an  angioplasty to facilitate  stent placement. But looks like you don't want any help really. Bueno suerte.

Did I say I had an angiogram? I had far better and saw clear as day the occlusion. I had a High field Cadiac MRI .  Thank for your  snarky remarks. My procedure is being done  next week.

I'll ask you again. Which doctor said you need a stent and what tests were you given? Quit frankly this whole thing is sounding a bit fishy.

Its not a bit fishy and I would rather not mention this persons name for that DR is extremely well known and the report I got with the films said that I need to have this taken care of. I even saw the films and pointed out where it was needed. The films were taken in GDL. Thank you for your concern

I have also been given Dr. Najar as a recommendation from some people in my complex. All say he is really good. Anyone here knows of Dr. Nahar? His practice is at San Francisco Asis hospital.

Talked  to my Ajijic based Doctor about stent and  Dr Virgen was recommended. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Does he only work out of Los Angeles Del Carmen. I read reviews on it and most are not that wonderful.

A very good example of how the Chapala government approves everything no matter how inappropriate.  That high rise in La Floresta is another example and they were actually threatened with jailing by the state courts because they refused to stop construction on it.  They have also allowed a one hundred percent lot coverage three story "botique" hotel on Constitution which is totally out of character with the neighborhood and in violation of the supposed lot coverage standards.   

Anything goes.  Could you imagine something like this happening in the scenic center of Mazamitla or Tapalpa?

I like OXXO too but this location is totally inappropriate.  There is no parking, do they really think they can support a store like this with a totally walk in trade?

 

 

There is one coming to tapalpa centro but you wont know it until you pass it by. Conforms to the strict regulations with a very small sign. Coppels is there and you wouldn't know it.

Try El Granero next to Gossips.

Tempeh is not soft protein. Tofu is. You can buy it at Ponchos or Superlake. They get it from Costco.

Considering move from Progreso to Tepalpa.  Is there a small to Medium expat community there

I sent you a message

“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.” – Anthony Bourdain

Cocinart is the gold standard for quality and reasonable price in Ajijic and most of the area IMHO.  We seem to be emulating the wild inflation in restaurant pricing that has happened NOB.  What is it about this business that causes it to raise prices so rapidly?  You would think the level of competition around here would exert some pressure on prices.  Apparently not.

 

 

perhaps fixed costs are rising , as in rent. talked to a few well known restaurant owners who are treading water because of how high the rents have gone up for them. Also many variable costs I would assume have risen. The food is probably the cheapest part of the bill..

I have the berkey system. Bought it from Amazon USA with filters, I also bought the additional chlorine filters to get out arsenic etc from water. Wouldnt use anything else. Nothing here comes close.

Does anyone know of a store that sells those black and red licorice twisty candy? A  very ill friend would like them and I really want to get them for him.

I have a 4g flip phone GSM here with telcel Mexico. I need a USA number also . I can get a telcel america USA number sim card mailed to me. Will I have any issues using it in the telcel mexico gsm phone I have now.

No kidding. I'd rather have good internet than a sewer connection. YMMV.

You have a sewer connection? Want to switch?

Intercasa gave the answer, along with the chart of the tax liability.

The transaction and payment is accomplished at the office of the Recaudadora; the taxing agency and vehicle registry, ie, the recording office. In Chapala, it is located at the east end of Degollado.  It is wise to go there with the seller and buyer both present to insure that all paperwork is presented, and that there are no outstanding liens or tickets, before turning over any cash.

What if the seller is out of the country already?

I bought a new car a few months back and want to sell it. Does the new buyer have to pay sales tax, also?

There is a different way of calling a Telcel cell phone FROM the U.S. or Canada using a cell phone that is not Telcel.

011-52-1-XXX-XXX-XXXX

Angus is correct when using a Telcel cell phone to call FROM Mexico TO either a landline or a cell phone in the U.S. or Canada

Just called Ana at telcel in ajijic and she confirmed its 001.. Thank you everyone.

I got telcel on chat and they said +1.  I am so confused.

 

Apprently  “+1” means that the phone number belongs to NANP. In other words, the phone number is somewhere in North America. Technically, the + is a short  abbreviation that says “dial the International Direct Dialing (IDD) code for your region.” and its a shorter version of 001 if that makes any sense. Called the 800 number for telcel and they said 001 and the live chat on the website person said +1. will try both.

Let's be real here.  If we didn't have the President we have in the U.S., there would have been no trade war with China, no punitive tariffs on Mexico, no proposal to spend multi billions on a wall, etc. etc..........so YES, it IS about politics, in spades.!!!  You want to talk politics, boogie on over to a board that allows it and rant away.  I'm getting annoyed at the constant attempts to talk politics on this board, where it has no place and where I USED to find a lot more information that had nothing to do with the poster's political bias.  Who needs it?😝

Whatever the politics are I am talking about the economics. I choose  to stay away from politics. This will hurt both countries. I am just trying to figure out what will happen to Mexico from an ECONOMIC point of view. I would like to think people on this board are civil enough not to turn this into a political discussion/ rant. From the chart I presented looks like the peso will go up . Thats not good for the Mexican people

Why is it political?. Its economic. I am not coming from that perspective. That how I look at it. No matter what the politics are there will be issues in Mexico. As in will the peso be devalued.. The following graph shows what happened YTD in 2019......

https://www.x-rates.com/average/?from=USD&to=MXN&amount=1&year=2019

Any thoughts on what will it do to the Mexican economy? Also the peso.

Just called capitol one 360 customer service with regard to access over the the net. They said they were transitioning everyone over to verification only though SMS on cell phone and no longer email. They said its a process that they haven't done  yet for everyone. I asked if there can be an override for my special issue and she said that they are having quite a few complaints over this new change and there is nothing that can be done except perhaps help you whith a certain situation that you may need. I called 888 644 8314 . They will ask  for ss# and the last 4 digits of one of your accounts. In order to get through to a human voice say representative or else you get into a loop and they transfer to another dept and it got dropped 5 times in a row

I need to ask, what are they trying to verify? A change in password perhaps? I have CapOne, use their Website all the time, call them when I need to without masking my location.

Thats amazing. I cant. they are also instituting swift ID....https://www.capitalone.com/applications/identity-protection/swiftid/
