So he is driving a licensed taxi?     Or is he someone who wants to drive people for pay?  If so does he have the proper driver's license and insurance to carry paying passengers?

I asked him and he said he is registered as a driver with Uber and carries the proper insurance. German is a nice guy and knowledgeable of the area.

Lots of people use the bike path and this will make it safer for them.when riding their bicycles.  

yeah,but the carretera seriously needs to be widened to contain all the traffic. A better idea would have been to concert a path down the frontage road.....its already separate from the roadway ,it only needs a smoother surface for bicycles.

the best is Panda....

A neighborhood friend informed me that he now was a taxista, having broken 2 fingers in a construction accident.  He lives in "El Centro" and knows this area very well. He's a nice young man with a family and speaks english as a native from his years of living in California. He doesn't mind late night or early morning airport runs, trips to Guadalajara or waiting for you at Walmart or the doctor, so give him a call---

I thought that this was a business hustle free zone!!!

How is this a hussle? One line saying that the new shipment is in ,is not any hard sell,but only an announcement. Surely you wouldn't want anyone calling you out on any of your many postings....

If you don't care how it looks, place each leg of the table in a liter yogurt container and fill them with cement. use a level to make sure the table rests evenly before the cement sets.  I did this with the legs of an inversion table that is located outside and has metal legs that were rusting and my fix lasted 10 years.....

This Saturday November 9th from 4 to 8pm will be an art auction supporting independent journalism. It will be held at the performance space "La Cochera" located at Javier Mina #49.

For more info look at the Semenario Laguna newspaper descriptions   Go to Ajijic news.com/pages/news

. It looks like fun with food too.

Campbell’s condensed soup line is neutral or declining in profit. They are eliminating poor sellers to reduce the negative impact on profit. 

They still have 70+ types of canned soup globally, but are struggling to compete with packaged soups perceived to be healthier and that have a “fresher” taste. 

How people can convince themselves that one canned soup is “fresher” is beyond me. 

All of their soups now have MSG in them. I suspect GMS is genetically modified soy. To me anytime I see MSG on the label it means lower quality items have been used cuz that stuff will make anything taste good....

Same problem . Also cannot receive calls. Tech said all was fine.

What did your tech say?

same here, sometimes cannot receive calls. even had friend call from next to the modem and call wouldn't go through. other times it works fine, but annoying to be waiting for a phone call and not knowing if the phone will work....

its the one in Ajijic...

For 2 days now there has been construction equipment working behind Farmacia Guadalajara tearing up and carting away the asphalt covering. Wonder what they're doing.....

Please let us know how you're doing, not everyone here on this board is so callous as to not have pity on your situation. Unfortunately most of us have no way of helping you even if we could. We are in Latin America for some of the same reasons that you are and love the people and their cultural ethos. It seems there are scammers and evil people in every country and you happened to find one of them.  Be careful of "coming out" to people at large as the baddies are looking for someone just like you to take advantage of, you are with one now. Hope the church group can help you, if not the Jehovah's Witnesses are all over Mexico, many speak english and may have some helpful ideas. Good vibes are being sent to you, may today be better than yesterday.

This wednesday October 9th at 4pm we will be holding a meeting to discuss Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies with our expert, Samy Kovacs.

It will be held at our restaurant , now called Purple Garlic Pizza located on the Ajijic plaza at Parroquia #12A. This is a free meeting amongst friends new and old who are interested in learning about this subject or sharing their experiences. Join us for an important conversation on the newest trends on the economic scene.....

Thanks for posting this, we wondered what had become of him. 102 years old and a life well lived. Reggie lived for a time at the corner of guadalupe victoria and the 2nd privada and I would run into him walking on our street.. He was a true gentle man and will be missed.

I used to enjoy Chef Pian's cooking at Tepetate, being old fashioned I still believe in being faithful to your former employer thats why I will never frequent Chef Pian's establishment who after already one move might not necessarily be around for a long time. 

Chef Pian was the chef for many years at Tepate and then he started his own restaurant on Colon. We got take-out from there once and never again. The broccoli in the sweet and sour dish was actually black from over cooking and the eggroll was tossed in the box with everything else and was totally soggy. The 3rd dish was a thai yellow chicken curry that had no discernable flavor. We also can't understand why his new place is 2 doors down from Tepetate and agree that it was bad form to move so close to a former employer and 1 block from Simply Thai as if there aren't any other spaces available in town....

We went to the talavera shop in San Antonio and bought a bag of all those items for 250p about 10 years ago, so prices may vary. It included brackets for towel rack, 2 double hooks for towels, soap dish, toilet paper holder and glass/toothbrush holder. There was a variety of colors and designs and all were much nicer and cheaper than the metal ones we saw. They look beautiful with a matching sink and we still get pleasure from them today.

I recommend Salvadore at the eye glass store in Ajijic on hidalgo a few doors west of colon across the street from the police station on the plaza. He used to work for millenium across from El Torito market, but left to complete more training. he gave me the best prescription i ever had that i've used for ten years....

cafemeditteraneo:  I have faithfully administered the castor oil to Chita nightly for a month as you recommended.  There may well be a difference.  My question is:  should I continue to administer it, or stop, now that the month is over?  Thanks.  

If you are happy with the results you can either stop or continue for another few months and see if there is additional improvement....can you still see any clouding? some people seem to have used it for up to 6 months,but you have to be your own observer.

Covered parking for two vehicles and a trailer is really a reach at any price. 

they have to return the trailer and truck to the border so they want to keep it safe until then. I'm sure they would like to park it somewhere but they haven't found a large enough space. if you know of one, then they only need parking for one car....

looks more like a Havanese with the flag tail and long ears and the punky style hair tuft on top....

I walked past the horse yesterday and he looked okay, happily munching on all the greenery on the lot.

The OP obversely hasn't done any research about living at lakeside.. 

 

We met these nice people and they have been living here for 2 months already. They are just asking for some help from folks who have been here for longer. 500 USD is not undoable even in Ajijic for an unfurnished house, you just need to get lucky....we all know of someone who has had to leave a great renal for unforeseen reasons. We would rent to them in a minute,but our cheap rental is rented.

At Wednesdays tienguis I found a young woman in front of Scallions restaurant selling straws.  She had velvet bags with 2 straws, one straight and one bent and a small bottle brush to clean them for 120p. I bought one package....she won't be there next week as she goes back to school in Chapala,but I got her contact info in case someone else is interested---on Facebook: shop.terrasana.mx and instagram: terrasana.mx

The other reason to use cast iron skillets is their ability to add iron to your food.  Years ago the U of Guad Medical school sent out students to rural groups who were suffering from poor health. They found these people cooking on the lids of oil barrels and gave them cast iron pans, problem addressed....Your non-stick finish pan may be more convenient,but you're also getting a dose of the "teflon" finish in your food.
