That goes to show you why he should never have been president. We use ours to help others that don't have access to the program because the government doesn't reach out to the people in poor rural areas.

This is in addition to any company pensions and/or income from investments they may have. I tend to think they should not be eligible for the Mexican National pension. It was created for and is financed by the people of Mexico who really need it and it should kept for them. - Croft (who can't sign into Blogger)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8720309854271094186.post-63953253250299251562024-01-29T13:33:30.176-08:002024-01-29T13:33:30.176-08:00Hope you guys are feeling much better...Things are...Hope you guys are feeling much better...Things are back to normal here....Terrible things happening on the border....Hope the painting is going well......Take care Marilyn...Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256994038126590781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8720309854271094186.post-82489594988310285062024-01-24T07:49:00.258-08:002024-01-24T07:49:00.258-08:00Horrible colds, pneumonia and bronchitis here in M...Horrible colds, pneumonia and bronchitis here in Mazatlan.

However most people speak English as a second language. We were buying some food today, and Ruth said "thank you" in Malay and the locals were so impressed.

It appears that people transition from a TM to a standard trailer after a period of time making used ones easy to find. We enjoyed ours! As for RV.Net, it's a mess and I don't know if it will ever recover. It was a childish attempt at creating a forum. Actually, a child probably could have done better.

At that time I was looking at two fairly unique new travel trailers and had to pick one to purchase. (By the way, RV.Net is in a real mess right now with a new computer platform, and the old members are totally confused as to how to use it.). You had at that time a beautiful 29-ft. TrailManor. And I was comparing it to the Hi-Lo new 2009. So it came down to double axles, a bigger shower and bathroom, and more available cabinet space and buttons you simply pushed to raise the roof through hydraulics and put the tip out in place for more floor room. The biggy for the TrailManor was how light it was. Also, the beds were so comfortable. Since we were getting ready to buy an F-250, we knew it could handle the heavier weight of the Hi-Lo. We still have the Hi-Lo today and use it as a sturdy camper, but in my mind I always think about your TrailManor and if I did the right thing. TrailManor is still making them up in the Dakotas. It’s still the safest camper on the road. Dee Tillotson, CharlestonSouthern Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
