I ran therapeutic riding/adventure riding for disabled and abled kids and young adults for 20 years but am too gibbled up to do it now. There are some awesome horse guys around. Rahino is a wild guy sometimes but knows horses and could be convinced to help. Others I don't know by name. It looks like there are some good horse handlers beside the sewage treatment behind Walmart and I thought I saw a Percheron there. Perfect breed for that.

Maybe a start could be just visiting with the donkeys at Yves Restaurant or the farm at San Nicolas or the horse line in La Floresta. At one time I worked with 'special' kids grooming horses. Just being around them, brushing, petting, giving them treats has a very grounding effect. One non-verbal young lad labelled autistic who came to visit us had a propensity to wild outbursts and self harm but sitting up on our babysitter Belgian he became as calm as can be.

Just be aware to use a Canadian or US or UK - EU address when registering. I believe they closed membership to MXN only, residential addresses.

When I purchased my home, the Santander banker for the real estate company said I could not use XE to transfer the funds. I ignored him and got a much better exchange than he offered. The banks just wish to make the money. XE charges nothing to do a transfer and often gives a better exchange rate than what they post on the public website. As a member, one can make a market order, stipulating a desired exchange rate. When the rate is reached the funds are transferred automatically.Could be the middle of the night. I have transferred to Multiva, BBVA Bancomer, Actinver but have never tried Intercam.

Species of Willow in the lake
timjwilson replied to timjwilson's topic in Ajijic/Chapala/Guadalajara
Thanks. I'll be able to determine the difference by the length of the leaves. https://www.naturalista.mx/taxa/168364-Salix-taxifolia/browse_photos -

Could be but they look more like these; https://www.naturalista.mx/taxa/54847-Salix-nigra/browse_photos - lower to the ground and more spread out. -
Species of Willow in the lake

Another distribution map included all of Mexico. The reason to know is to harvest some small branches to make analgesic (aspirin-like) and I wish to estimate the possible strength. https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:304250-2 https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/documents/herbal-report/final-assessment-report-salix-various-species-including-s-purpurea-l-s-daphnoides-vill-s-fragilis-l_en.pdf https://publications.lsmuni.lt/object/elaba:1898377/18983 -
Has anyone determined the species of willow growing in and near the lake? My guess is Salix Nigra.

Likely you need to turn off the auto time set feature somehow(?)
-
With my cell, I manually set the correct time. I have an LG phone and they don't have a fix. Up at 4 AM - ha
-
For computers just uncheck automatically adjust for DST in your clock settings
-
Part of the problem, I surmise is with confusion at Microsoft. - according to online publications.
-
Was already set to Guadalajara.

For cell service, I use Verizon but through Telcel and my clock was moved forward. My internet through ILOX did the same despite being on GDL time zone. Anyone else?
-
Somebody didn't tell Telcell and the Internet?

Only Canada but I see no reason they would not be available in GDL. I'll be searching in 5 years.

In case anyone is unaware a 'virtual colonoscopy' or CT scan is an alternative. I have only had these as a precautional preventative to potential injury [due to birth malformities]. Of course presence of polyps would require a true colonoscopy. One advantage is that organs are also scanned for abnormalities. I have no clue as to availability nor cost locally.

The Mexican government should loosen up the import regulations and brokers should be restricted with further scrutiny. To get an import permit for business here is onerous and expensive. Also any commercial import of an electric or other machine operated device requires the importer to pay an outlandish annual fee for a government certification on each model. The Mexican economy could be booming, benefiting ordinary Mexicans but this is stifled by regulations catering to money barons. A few years ago I imported my mobility scooter from the US. I was charged $500 USD by an American broker plus $500 USD by a Mexican broker and I was charged duty on an item which is supposed to be duty free. I was promised official receipts to try recouping some cash which never came....crooked. When I ran a business in Canada, I received my import permit free in one day. I brought 1/4 full containers of microscopes from China, duty free and the broker charged 100 CAD to clear through customs. I also imported and exported regularly with the US with very few costs. I could choose to act as my own broker. Here, Mexicans are discouraged from starting such businesses. If this politics > delete

Me too. Good service.
