FIDO
ALERT!
My little Chihuahua was lost about 10 days ago in Los Barriles. His
name is Honey, he is light brown/tan, has a light blue collar with a
yellow chip tag and silver Mexican rabies tag on it. He is about 6
years old. He was staying at a house on the main drag in Los
Barriles (20 November) across from Fred's Key/Auto store. He is
not particularly friendly unless he knows you. If you have seen him
or
have any information, please call or email me. Maria 141-0226 or
maria1938@prodigy.net.mx
===============================================
FELINE
ALERT!
For the last couple of weeks there has been a very skinny and very
shaggy brown cat hanging around Juanito's Gardens (Los Barriles
Hotel). All of us residents here thought the cat was feral, but it
is not. It's very used to people and very talkative. It likes to
be touched and doesn't protest when picked up. It is apparently
only lost. Because it is malnourished it has apparently lost a lot
of hair, but looks like it was once a long haired cat. If this
sounds like it might be your lost cat, or you know who's it might be
please call Bill or Silvia at 141-0608.
======================================
I would like to take this time to thank all my wonderful friends in
Ponyland for their support and well wishes after the loss of my best
friend BAJO. You all knew what and how much he meant to me and
thank you for your support. I also want to give a big thank you to
Guillermo and other two mexicans at Rancho Buena Vista for their
help in burying my Bajo in the garden and with a wooden cross and
stone cross on the gravesite. That means so much to me and they
were wonderful. Lots of wonderful people here and thank you. Mary

a. Seguro Popular and Seguro Social - Courtesy La
Paz Gringos - Seguro Popular was created primarily to make sure that
the uninsured 50% of the population are not forced into poverty when
they get sick. This would, of course, require people to get used to
the idea of pre-paying for services, in this case, medical
"protection" -- but so far, that part of the plan hasn't worked out
too well.
Other articles and the SP website indicate that the
Plan is available to any legal resident of Mexico, and that fees are
based on a sliding scale according to income. For most poor people,
the coverage is free, but that doesn't mean the plan is only for
poor people; in fact, the opposite is true because the paying
customers help subsidize those who pay nothing.
It also appears that Seguro Popular is a work in
progess ... that services, drugs etc will continue to be added and
expanded as money becomes available and the rosters grow. The
government hopes to have 50% of the population covered by Seguro
Popular in the next few years, and groups like the The World Health
Organization and the UN have been very supportive of the plan.SP
Website (English):

A very long and dry article on how SP has evolved:
http://www.internationalbudget.org/pdf/JHPPL2010.pdf
IMSS, on the other hand, is a somewhat more extensive
and expensive plan available to anyone under the age of 65 who does
not have a pre-existing condition (even high blood pressure). Here's
an excerpt from an article by Rick Lewis of MazInfo (link to
complete article below):
IMSS stands for Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social.
It’s about as close to socialized medical coverage as you can get.
Many working people qualify for IMSS and many employers make a
contribution toward the IMSS coverage. Mexico has allowed retirees
and other visiting residents to buy the IMSS coverage. They base the
cost on what the payment would be if you were working full time at
minimum wages. Visit

b. MSN/Hotmail Email Scam - This one has been circulating
recently. You receive an "Invitation," sent from a Hotmail or MSN
account of someone you know:
The scammer's website asks you to enter your Windows
Live ID and password to
"Analyze your MSN Messenger Contact list and discover who has
deleted you
from his contact list without changing your nickname or losing your
data!"
The scammer's website,
msnmessengerlist.com, was registered to a Juan Manuel Martinez 2
weeks ago on June 28. Don't even think about giving out your ID and
password to this online scam, or ANY website that asks for it,
regardless of who appeared to have sent you the Email. This is
called "Social Engineering," where you are being tricked into
thinking that you are receiving something from a friend or business
you know, and lulling you into a false sense of security.
Your friend's Email account has already been hacked by
this scammer who really sent the Email, and now yours will be hacked
as well if you fall for such nonsense. - Alan,
