  1. Upscale Bazaar in Riberas has an unused large roll of what you are looking for
  2. I believe that is a "tourist" rainbird that is just passing through as it heard every "thing" is now welcome to cross the border....if captured, the small knapsack on it's back proves it is not local...... Fred Habacht
  3. A parade of locals wearing Collanders on their heads, may suggest that they misunderstood how to use the device.....they did seem happy, however.
  4. I didn't wait to come until the "time was right"...I arrived in 2005 and my house cost 80,000 usd and four years later we got citizenship....but that is another story. Waiting for a "SALE" in Mexico may be a less than a smart move. The peso is so strong you may not be as needed or as welcome as you expect....come when you can.
  5. I have an unopened bottle of Kitiscell...considered the best drug to prevent further damage to lung tissue....if you are taking it, then you know it cost approx 16000 mxp. It was paid for by my Mexican Health Insurance and I do not want to profit from that....so it is free to you, if it is a drug that you need. Dr Peralta prescribed it for my wife and it delayed her demise by many years. It tastes awfull so it must be good. Fred Habacht
  6. The basic wait for a judge to hear your denial, guilt, for a traffic ticket is......3 years.....the cost for paying it at the 50% discount rate is.....Almost priceless.
  7. I was in the area this afternoon and it has reached the top of some of those hills and there will be mud problems when our rains arrive. Fred Habacht
  8. Sometimes they add a PHONY insurance charge and hope you do not notice....merely protest it and it will be removed.....FYI Fred
  9. In the Cassetta at Toto Bueno Bazaar are two rugs...they are in good condition and maybe of use to you. Just walk thru the store and they are in the building in the rear of the property. Fred
  10. It is predicted that the peso may reach 14 to 1 on the fading usd.......
  11. I made my peace with him after the way he treated my dying wife....His bedside manner is in need of a serious upgrade. Fred Habacht
  12. Do you service the filters on mini-splits? If so, send me a pm and an idea of what you charge, my location is Joco central. FredHabacht
  13. If he wants a land line...it has to be installed or turned on if already on the premises. Fred Habacht
  14. I, and, I expect others besides me will be blocking you as soon as I send this. You bring unpleasantness to a relatively peaceful site.
  15. Okay....here is a summary of what I needed, what I got, how much it cost and that I wish it never happened. I was advised to make an advance plan for my wife's demise by her doctors. I did just that with a local Jocotepec funeral home. Upon her death, they returned my deposit and stated the price had increased and if I didn't want to pay that I was welcome to look elsewhere. I walked away from them. There are numerous funeral services in this area and another one stepped up immediately. The cost, after conversion into USD was $1000.00. As to the paperwork...I received more than I needed, would ever need or wanted. The US embassy and the government that it represents accepted the Mexican death certificate with no hesitation and no additional cost. The US Social Security system needed a copy to issue the death payment and all copies that they requested were returned to me. No bank that we dealt with needed anything more then me saying that my wife had passed away. I wanted to send my wife's ashes to the USA and needed permits to do so by air...the cost for the permits was an additional $129.00 usd and all copies of papers were returned to me with the permits for the airline. I have, after 19 years, learned my way around here very, very well and I have many locals to assist me.....you can do it the easy way or look for crazy additions ....when your loved one dies don't make it harder on yourself follow the paths that are well-worn and proven. Fred Habacht
  16. I am considering opening a 29 day "CD" with the walmart in store bank....has anyone got an opinion or experience with them? Thanks. Fred Habacht
  17. 2 units...used at upscale bazaar in Riberas, and dozens from 5 liter to 10 liter at Oxi Reyes in Riberas and he delivers and services the units. Fred Habacht
  18. Naw...they all ready spotted him over there too Fred
  19. I agree and if anyone is marketing dog food that truly is fresh and healthy....I would be interested.
  20. How about the military surplus booth at the Ajijic Wednesday Mkt? They have multiple sizes, inc "bug out" sizes for adults.
  21. Just as annoying barkers seem to "move on", I have a feeling that.......
  22. It has to be from a GOLDEN Retreiver. I pack it in little canvas bags with a touch of cat litter and so far I have had no one turn down this form of payment....I do not answer the door to the police as if they want some of my "gold" they have to bring me something to trade ...... screaming "open your door" is not going to work!
  23. I no longer pay in pesos....I just use gold dust that my maid sweeps up every week....or maybe it is dog hair....I'm not sure.
