Pills, Pills, Pills! How Will We Find All of Our Medications in Mexico?
“Dammit! I already take thirty-eight pills a day! They barely fit in my weekly pillboxes, and now I have to add one more each day!”
This is an excerpt from my novel Mexico For Better or For Worse. While the story of expats Jake and Lindsay is fiction, it depicts many people's fears about moving to Mexico permanently. One of the most common questions I receive is, "How will I find the medication I need?" Jake and Lindsay discover that it's possible in most cases.
Jake had
the stock bottles for his vitamins, minerals, including magnesium for restless
legs and sleep, fish oil, CoQ10, and other nutritional supplements, plus eight
prescription medication bottles lined up in an arch, a rainbow of colors, on
the Equipale dining table on their outdoor patio. His
prescription meds included carbidopa/levodopa for Parkinson’s, l-methylfolate
to aid in depression and Parkinson’s disease, a mood stabilizer and an
antidepressant for bipolar disorder, one anti-cholesterol med, one to relieve
urinary difficulty, and one for acid reflux. He had no desire ever to add
another prescription medication to his regimen.

Is Your Smoke / Carbon Monoxide / Gas Detector REALLY Working?
Do you have one of these or similar “Explosive Gas and Carbon Monoxide Alarms” in your condo, home, or RV? Have you tested it? If it screams when tested, does that mean it really works? Will it actually detect propane, butane, or carbon monoxide?
When we purchased our condo unit in Puerto Vallarta, we tested our First Alert Gas/Carbon Monoxide alarm, located under the kitchen range, by pushing the Test / Silence button. It set off a horrendous, alarming shriek. We incorrectly assumed that it would detect these harmful, potentially fatal gases.
We inadvertently put that Gas (Propane) Detector to a true test. I turned a burner on under a pot of water to cook spaghetti noodles. Then Jon and I went outside with glasses of wine to throw the ball for Sophie while we waited for the water to boil.
Thirty minutes
later, I went inside to check the pot of water. The flame under the pan had
blown out or had never lit, and the apartment was FULL of propane gas! I could
smell it, but the Gas Detector had not alerted us. A single spark would have
caused an explosion!

10 Healthy Things We Do While Living in Mexico When It's Hot Outside
Day 1
This morning, we ate a delicious, fresh mango with a little
cottage cheese. Healthy! I love our fresh mangoes. And we're fortunate to be able
to buy cottage cheese here.
Day 2
Spending the Evening at the Roof Garden
Last evening we lounged in the Roof Garden living room, read,
enjoyed the view and sunset, took a dip in the pool, and had dinner with Happy
Hour drinks.

PAAMUL, QUINTANA ROO: A beautiful place to visit or to retire!
Paamul, A Unique Community for Relaxation...

I have wanted to visit this community from the time I saw photos on the internet of these darling little RV/Houses. Then I discovered the website for selling houses in Paamul. What an interesting idea: a way for Americans and Canadians to “own” a 2 bedroom, 1 ½ bath, fully furnished home on the Caribbean Sea for prices as low as $58,900. The owner actually owns the home itself, not the plot of land, and pays an annual RV space rental amount, much like living in “Trailer Parks” in the U.S. I’m not promoting real estate sales in this area when I tell you that you might want to take a look at the Mayan Mansion website to get an idea of what these RV/Houses look like
