    Jobs for Americans in Buenos Aires?

    Don't even think about it. Bring her to the US or find someone else. Unemployment in Argentina was already high and after things let up where they will let you in again there will be even fewer jobs for Argentines, much less for love struck Americans.

    How do BAexpats feel about converting Spanish to be Gender Neutral.

    I find it interesting, though not surprising, that she asks for a discussion and when someone takes her up and says something she denigrates him for mansplaining. My definition of the term, which she nicely illustrated, is when a woman asks a question and the man's answer is not the one sought.

    Atlanta

    As I have always said, Atlanta is a great place to live, but I wouldn't want to visit here. MARTA rail from airport is fast and efficient, one of the few good things about the system. If you want to leave the airport, that is the only way I would do it in your circumstance. Beware of security...

    Argentine Man "forgets" Wife At A Gas Station In Brazil

    Husband is lying. No wife could be silent for two hours of travel. Perhaps it is the ideal marriage as described by Dr. Johnson: a blind wife and a deaf husband.

    My Retirement Is Approx. ........

    Blaine, I am sorry for your loss. Definitely take a visit of a month or so. It will be a great adventure. I did that this last October, trying to live as much as possible like a resident rather than as a tourist. I wanted to see if retirement on about $2,000 a month was doable. It is doable with...

    The Kiss And Hug Greeting

    I'm finding it a damn sight easier to learn to kiss total strangers than to speak Spanish.

    The Kiss And Hug Greeting

    I spent 30 years in an Episcopal church choir in the South as one of the few straight men. I have also been involved in theater, so a a quick hug and kiss with some bearded fat guy is no biggie to me. However if it makes you uncomfortable you can always say as I did when more was suggested...

    Rugby World Cup

    Pumas! Great game. They are an opportunistic bunch and really excel in the loose ruck play. Of course the All Blacks administered a Master Class to the French. Do we know yet who the Pumas will face in the Semi's and when they will take place?
