I have no idea about real property in Argentina, but it's fairly common in the US for the seller of an automobile to offer to provide a receipt for less than the actual sale price. The buyer agrees, because it lowers the taxes owed. The problem comes when there's a problem with the car, or with...

double rinse your pan so there's no possibility of soap residue. Heat the pan. THEN add your butter/oil to the hot pan. Put the eggs in and let them set up some before attempting to move them. *former short order cook. 😉

In fact, I'm going today to get fingerprinted for the FBI background check. I've checked, and the assault charge is no longer showing in the county where it occurred, thanks to a CA law that automatically expunged it. If it doesn't show up in the FBI database, I'm pretty sure I have nothing to...

I don't condone murder. But sometimes I understand it.

That's good to know. I've biked in LA. I should be fine. lol

So, I understand Buenos Aires has a great system of bike lanes. But also some really bad car drivers. Would you recommend a bike or e-bike as a primary mode of transportation? Or am I likely to get run down like a dog?😉 I enjoy biking, and it's great exercise for my old heart.

This is why I drove a 16 year old minivan when I lived in California. If a thief would stoop that low, he needed the car worse than I did. :)

So, what exactly are they looking for in a background check? I'm not *real* worried, unless they're super picky. I don't have any felonies on my record and no drug related offenses. Some DUI's from over 40 years ago (I've been clean and sober for almost 40 years), and a misdemeanor assault...

Something tells me the bureaucracy will be annoying anywhere. I guess I might as well wait it out in Argentina. lol

Hi, just to introduce myself - I am new to the forum, having recently 99% decided to retire to Buenos Aires. I have visited Argentina a few times in the past, and always loved the vibe in BsAs. Obviously, a large part of the decision is financial. It's just a fact I can stretch my pension...
