Spring Clean in Riberas operated by Senora Alicia and family…did they close up business or relocate perhaps? I called a couple times without success and passed by there and the door is closed and the sign is gone.

Also important to note, the number of reported missing is during the entirety of the current state administration.

The way I see it, the installation of the bike path had a substantial impact on the flow of traffic through town. That’s not to say that the bike path is a bad thing as it certainly has its benefits. I think distance plays a part in this as well. If you drive 60 kms in distance and you sit in traffic for 20 minutes, it seems more expected and accepted than if you drive 6kms in distance and sit in traffic for 20 minutes.

Perhaps they are too busy so corners are getting cut? I know a number of people who are really happy with his work, sadly that was not my experience.

I went to Oscar based on recommendations here, and was unhappy with the work. He said he couldn’t get upholstery tacks, couldn’t reuse the existing ones on the chair pads so we agreed to staples. They did not remove the old fabric from the chair pads, in fact they didn’t remove the tacks either, they just covered the new fabric over the tacks. Looks very half assed and on top of that they “misplaced” the 4 extra meters of fabric that was left over so I couldn’t have it redone unless I purchased new fabric. I should have gone to Vegas on the highway in Ajijic.

I agree ibarra. I feel part of the issue is they not selective enough. Plenty of items there have missing buttons, stains, peeling, stretched out, too worn etc. Those items should not be accepted for consignment in my opinion. They put some shabby stuff on the racks while good stuff is sitting in bags for months at a time in a back room somewhere. I hardly go there now for that reason.

Contact NOMAD, the furniture store in Riberas, they have packing and moving services. They packed up our place at Lakeside, stored our items and then took our stuff to our place in Guad and unpacked everything. We were impressed with them.

Dr Ramon Garcia has been our cardiologist for 5 years now. He’s very experienced, also works with his son Dr Ricardo Garcia who’s office is in Guad, Ricardo comes to SAT once a week, they do work as a team sometimes so it’s like getting 2 doctors in one. Anytime we’ve needed to get in touch with either Garcia it’s never been a problem. Called him once early on a Sunday morning, and he met us within half hour of our call.

I second Francisco, he usually responds quickly, will pop by and give you a quote and make arrangements to come back to trim. They’re responsive, efficient , knowledgeable and more reasonably priced than Chapala Tree Services.

I like Cristobal, he’s pretty quick to respond, knowledgeable and reasonable, he speaks English as well but keep in mind, for many of us, face to to face communication in another language is more productive than over the phone. I usually send him a whatsapp, he responds the same day and sets up a time to come. His number on whatsapp is (or drop the +52) and that’s his cell number.
+52 33 3477 8690

I noticed yesterday 3 neighbors in lower SAT getting water delivery. I was driving so couldn’t stop to ask. Checked our ajibe when I got back and it’s getting low, and it’s always full. I checked simapa Facebook and there’s no notices about water interruption or work in progress. Anybody heard anything?

“Jess”, your racist undertones and insults are not helping your cause at all. Not one tiny bit. As a matter of fact, you sound like troll. Not feeding this troll anymore. ✌️

Wow! So much of your info is incorrect. Why do you live in a country you have such disdain for? Another entitled human with total disregard the culture in which he lives. Such self imposed righteousness.
You’re the one sounding self righteous, you’re pointing a lot of fingers and making sweeping statements inferring others are misogynistic, ignorant and lack respect for the law when others are simply saying they’ll follow along with what people in their employ wish to do. I think you’re missing the point.

I’m quite confident employees will figure out for themselves what’s best for them and their personal situations. No need for “guests” to educate them on social policy.

Ummmm, no thanks - not getting waylaid off this very important topic . I'm confident because I know the facts, call that what you will. This topic is about a law. meant to overcome the discrimination and oppression this work group has suffered for a very long time. This is not the first conversation with gringos that I've had who feel above what this law is intended to do. "It's too expensive, it's inconvenient, I don't think it's right:" etc. None of these matter and we are guests in this country and it's our obligation to follow this law. Knowingly living on someone else's back when you have a choice has many words. So choose whichever one feels right to you.
I haven’t read anybody saying anything like that on this forum. Most people want to comply, moreover, most people want to comply with their employees’ wishes. It’s not anyone’s place to interfere with their personal business. If they do or don’t want to enroll in the program their wishes should be respected. And “guests” of this country are tourists and that label doesn’t apply to most contributors on this forum. FYI.

Well then how about cultural appropriation and exploitation. Does that fit better? The mere fact that you're being combative about a law that benefits others says EVERYTHING about your view of your own importance in this country.
Well, thank you for the comedy and the drama 😎😆

This is a silly response and your comments have been rather bullyish and misogynistic. It's the law and it's really good for these women. For you to criticize anyone advocating for that is telling.
You’re really reaching now. Careful, soap boxes can be slippery.

Just curious. You've never appeared ( in THIS I.D. form) before now. So who made YOU the IMSS enrolment police???
I’m guessing the self banned Eric Blair, the bombardment of responses seems pretty similar in style.

I’m alright with that.

Well most domestic employees are certainly of the impression it’s voluntary. I’ll be guided accordingly by them.

You can order online with H&M Mexico although it’s fast fashion and may not be the quality you’re looking for. Macy’s ships to Mexico. Prices for shipping and duty are not crazy but near impossible to return an item as their system only allows the return process through the US unless you call customer service and there’s a time limit on returns.

Did not the governor of Nuevo Leon recently call the highway between Nuevo Laredo and Monterrey the "Highway of Death"?
I think that refers to the stretch near Monterrey which winds, climbs and descends through the mountains. It’s a tricky road to drive and requires great attention and a well maintained vehicle.
