A friend just informed me that there's another forum for people who live at the westend of Laguna Chapala. Have you been on that forum yet, Sparks?

If not. Maybe I could russle up the URL of that site.

Trailrunner (my neighbor) told me about it and they let me in a few days ago. The rules are a bit strange for joining and by invitation I believe. Seems OK once you are in

Mi amiga said you were going to be M's new neighbour. Funny, have thought for some time, Trailrunner was male, only to find out today, it's a gal.


In my slight experience of several Yahoo groups that number me as a member, several groups are just a tad, protective, of who they allow as members, and who they do not. Kind of like, neighbourhood watch, ja, ja!

Understand the thinking.

However I still enjoy, a lightly moderated forum(of which there seem to be precious few these days)

Maybe it's that idea of Speaker's Corner, in Hyde Park, London. You know, where, anyone(and that means ANYONE) can get up on a soapbox and speak their mind.

She wrote an article on the construction next door. Her house is to the right of this lot and mine is on the left

Cats are good.
Have three. One of which, we brought back from Mexico, many moons ago.
To improve the local gene pool :D

However, Sparks, I think it's even more savvy at 65.

To move in, next door to a medic.

Hey Wendy ... watch it. I'm still playing 3 hours of water volleyball twice a week. Will sure miss that but I hear there is a group in Joco. They may shut down the pool in the winter tho. Not sure what a medic can do for the eyes and mind

The few days there last week I stayed with Ron and Sarah in their nursing home. One 'ol girl was 102 and another 98. Another couple in late 80's. I don't want to just eat, watch TV and go to the bathroom. Probably pull the plug somehow but have not figured that out yet

Eating, Drinking, Watching TV, and going to the BATHROOM, is better that the alternative of living in Edmonton and wearing pampers, but that would depend on the head. Eh

Don't need a head with pampers ... but the mind might have something to say about it
