  1. Thanks.  The dollar store is a good suggestion.  I will also look in Superlake.

    My old microwave had a timer but the new one I bought at Costco a few months back does not.  I use a timer in my kitchen all time, and not just for cooking.  For example, if I turn a sprinkler on on the lawn I will use the timer to help me not forget when to turn it off.  Suggestion of my smartphone, not such a good suggestion.

     

     

  2. I do not believe there are any Podiatric Medical Schools in Mexico.    A life time ago I went to my doctor for pain in my right foot.  He x-rayed it and sent me to a Podiatrist--not a orthopedic specialist. I ended up having a titanium implant in my right great toe. That is when I learned that Podiatry is a separate branch of medicine with their own colleges.

    This article is about podiatric medicine. For the profession see podiatrist.

    Podiatry (/pˈd.ətri/) or podiatric medicine (/pdiˈætrɪk, -ˈd.ətrɪk/) is a branch of medicine devoted to the study, diagnosis, and medical and surgical treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle, and lower extremity. The term podiatry came into use in the early 20th century in the United States and is now used worldwide, including in countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada.[1]

    A Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM), or a podiatrist, is a healthcare professional who diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the foot, ankle, and structures of the leg.[2] The US podiatric medical school curriculum (similar to their US MD and DO counterparts) includes lower extremity anatomy, general human anatomy, physiology, general medicine, physical assessment, biochemistry, neurobiology, pathophysiology, genetics and embryology, microbiology, histology, pharmacology, women's health, physical rehabilitation, sports medicine, research, ethics and jurisprudence, biomechanics, general principles of orthopedic surgery, and foot and ankle surgery. In several podiatric medical schools, such as Western University of Health Sciences the entire didactic, or classroom, portion of the curriculum is taken alongside DO or MD students

    When I first went to my medical doctor in Ajijic I told him about my toe.  He told me that there were no Podiatrists in Mexico.

  3. What is difference between podiatrist and podologist?
     
     
    A podologist may have advanced knowledge of these research-based subjects but is not qualified to treat foot conditions or perform surgeries. A podiatrist, by contrast, is trained and qualified to treat a range of foot conditions, perform surgeries, prescribe medications, and design rehabilitation plans.
  4. An age old problem.  I have lived here for 19 years and in years gone by I was able to call Wells Fargo easily.  Now, when I enter the 1-800 + the number I am told the number does not exist.  When I enter 1+880 + the number I am told the number does not exist.

    How do I call Wells Fargo 1-800 642 4720?

    See state summaries and advisory levels below for information on your specific travel destination. Some areas of Mexico have increased risk of crime and kidnapping.

     

    Country Summary: Violent crime such as homicide, kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery is widespread and common in Mexico. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens in many areas of Mexico, as travel by U.S. government employees to certain areas is prohibited or restricted.  In many states, local emergency services are limited outside the state capital or major cities.

    Restrictions on U.S. government travel: U.S. government employees may not travel between cities after dark, may not hail taxis on the street, and must rely on dispatched vehicles, including app-based services like Uber, and regulated taxi stands. U.S. government employees may not drive from the U.S.-Mexico border to or from the interior parts of Mexico, with the exception of daytime travel within Baja California and between Nogales and Hermosillo on Mexican Federal Highway 15D, and between Nuevo Laredo and Monterrey on Highway 85D. U.S. government employees should avoid traveling alone, especially in remote areas.

    Read the country information page for additional information on travel to Mexico.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has determined Mexico has a moderate level of COVID-19.  Visit the CDC page for the latest Travel Health Information related to your travel.

  6. conejorapido you are correct.  I was trying to be polite/subtle..

    A few months back when I needed help I sent Jose a Whatsapp.  I find this give the best response.  A few days later he came to my house.  I had not seen him for a couple of years and I was surprised how he had aged. He was dressed nicely and appeared to have no equipment with him.  I had to give him a shovel and other things he needed.

    This time when I sent him a WhatApp he sent a reply that he was trying to find someone for me.  I waited a week, with a broken sprinkler and found the Lakeside Sprinkler Systems.  I sent Jose Luis a WhatApps and told him I had found someone to fix my sprinkler.  I thanked him for all of his years of wonderful service.  I received a nice message back telling me that he had forgotten about me, and thanking me.

    A Mexican friend received my message about the new Sprinkler service.  He was happy to hear about it.  He had two jobs for Jose but he had never responded.
