How about both? The business about "duplicitous" refers to the tongue lashing I received on TOB. We're done having fun with it. It's time for some "meds" now. The sun is well over the yardarm.

In all fairness, gringal, didn't M-L assign that label to a different poster other than yourself? Now, don't be duplicitous.

Don't think so. I'd hafta look, but I think I was the main object of wrath. Oh well.
Tell the truth, I think I'd rather go tend my garden. Or kick puppies. LOL.

This comparison between an electric versus gas powered chain saw reminded me of my father when he climbed into an alcohol induced haze after retiring. To his way of thinking, it was better to purchase an electric chainsaw on sale at Montgomery Wards for a low price than purchase a real chainsaw. Once he realized that he wanted to go into the woods to cut firewood, he realized that he had a problem. His solution was to order a power inverter from JC Whitney and he could now plug in the saw while his car was running. But the next hurdle came along - the cord on the saw wasn't long enough to reach anything. So go out and purchase the cheapest extension cord on the market. Now, he was all organized to go cut firewood and headed off to the mountains. Started cutting wood until the car engine started making funny noises and then quit all together. OH DAMN! The engine wouldn't start and he was miles away from anything. About a three hour walk out to a phone to call AAA. Naturally, he was outside of the free coverage area, so he had to pay to have the car towed to the Mercury dealer. Come to find out that he had fried the electrical system! Just how much money did he save being a tightwad?

Good story Neil! I know he didn't save any money but he sure set a good example for you.

@ CheenaGringo - Now that was funny!
With regard to my own case, I bought the chain saw for one tree in the garden where I lived in Tizapán. True, I had to borrow an extension cord to reach all the way (attached to one of my own); but it served its purpose.
Know anyone in the market for taking it off my hands -- cheap?
lol!
(Oh, and the guava tree that I pruned is now producing fruit about twice the size of any other tree in the garden.)

Who could argue with a screenshot? Not me, babe. However, the person in question has made it abundantly clear on another occasion that I'm just not on her fave list.....so perhaps I lumped it all together as one big "insultogram". I do like that word, though. Duplicitous. Sounds a little like a chocolate flake dessert.
And now R.I.P.? Hope it went well with Candy.

Yes, indeed! After pronouncing my teeth (what I have left of them) to be in good condition, she offered her hand to help me out of the chair. I didn't need any help, but I couldn't resist taking her hand anyhow!
Very Happy
She did advise me to let her put a crown on another molar which was subjected to a root canal many years ago (in order to avoid its splitting like the other); this molar had a crown (gold) which was removed by a dentist in Riberas del Pilar about a year-and-a-half ago. He kept the gold. Hell, if I had known the danger of splitting, I would have been more diligent! Oh, well -- never too old to learn.

Just wondering if you ever checked out the dentists or any medical stuff for that matter in Sahuayo. I've talked to a few Mexican nationals from Gdl that go there because of cost savings with no sacrifice of expertise or facilities. For you Sahuayo would be a huge savings in driving distance and time.

Thanks for the hint; might be worth checking.

Do you know of any that speak English?

I would suspect that a high percentages of dentists would speak English as part of their training, just like medical doctors. It be a matter of spending a day in down knocking on a few doors.

Apparently there is also a great doctor with good English in Tizapan on the carr. but I haven't tracked him down. Lab work and X-rays are also a deal at half price too.

Thanks for that. The owner of the house in Tizapán where I lived previously is an M.D. and he is bi-lingual. His sister owns the house where I'm currently living. His brother is a dentist but doesn't speak English. I know a pharmacist downtown who is bi-lingual so I can check with her about dentists in Sahuayo. But I really would hate to change from Dr. Candy because she has been so great. Once the "emergency" situation is resolved, it won't be necessary to make frequent trips to her office; only for cleanings, etc.

Strange! During my visit on Friday the 2nd, Dr. Candy told me to take a Christmas card from her tree in the lobby; it contained a gift certificate: free cleaning!
That is so great! I can't say enough to praise these folks!

I asked our (bi-lingual) pharmacist and found out that there is a dentist office (man & wife) here in Tizapán, and they speak English; I might give them a chance -- but I really, really like Dr. Candy and the way I have been treated. (She had a Christmas tree in her office with gift cards attached for clients to pluck randomly. I chose one that was good for a free cleaning!)

Maybe I'll let my wife test the Tizapán office first.

Very Happy
