Excuse me, an error. It was in reply to wineguy999, NOT to redpossum.

My comment above was in reply to redpossum''s posts.

Sounds as though according to your posts you need to drop your ageism and overhaul your wardrobe. Portenas/os dress in designs and style their apparel in a European, not American way even though manufacturing methods and fabrics employed are very inferior in comparison with those in Europe...

Bajo_Cero, would you please inform me how applicable rule(s) would work in the following scenarios: If a foreign woman is either a proper temporary resident OR permanent resident of Argentina and earns no money there and therefore owes no income tax to Argentina, how would she get that 35%...

The $US prices being cited now in this thread for Dr.Pelcman's implants, crowns and bone additions haven't increased since 2008 by more than $US50 (in 2010 as I recall) for work costing many thousands of $ throughout North America. I went to him often while living in Canada until 2012 and I'd...

It's remarkable that even something as innocuous as a song contest has become a microcosm of the conflicts and tensions that afflict our world and besiege us every day. The following links stretching from 2008 until now and from the Middle East to Europe to the USA trace Arabic-speaking...

Were it not for Conchita of Austria winning, I wouldn't have thought of telling my husband this morning that it he doesn't shave in the next 2 days, he'll have to start wearing a dress. You all need to realize that the only place where we Europeans' political votes count nowadays is at...

A couple more arguments against using 'Argentinian' as an adjective or noun: -The 100+ yo social dance that's indigenous to Argentina has always exclusively been called "Argentine Tango". I've never heard anybody get that wrong. And yet, some people still switch to saying "Argentinian" for...

Just now I tried clicking the link BELOW the article. That led to more notices page after page telling me I could get a 'free trial' by just subscribing, and multiple advertisements about what I was missing out on. Eventually found my way onto a FAQ page that would tell me how to get that free...

Oh how sad I, a tango dancer who's studied the dance in BA exclusively become when I'm directed to an article about tango, go to that website, and follow the 'free trial' click only to learn that I must commit myself to paying $US 67 so as to read one 'free' article!

Regarding parcels taking as much as 3 months to arrive in Arg, and also in reference to the poster saying he/she hasn't received shipments from the UK in any timely fashion, I have had UK companies' mailed shipments of clothing take 6-7 weeks to reach just Canada. 'Normal' in Canada was 3+...

I hope the OP has a safe place in Europe to stash all those euro he'll be withdrawing daily in Europe from his US bank account until he flies to BA. A third to a half year's worth of this couple's living costs in euro cash is an awful lot to hide when you're not staying in your own home and...

rpkerston, Can't you just use Canada Post's international mail forwarding service? I've used that twice. It's been good. You pay in advance for a one-year period, and it's renewable each year after that.

Bajo, I find that hard to believe. Purchasing a consumer good isn't a hiring of a service which paying for a hotel, having an airline fly you somewhere, asking a travel agent to organize or book you onto a trip or a tour guide to show you around all are. Might the person or business selling the...

Which other countries might be thinking of following suit? Where and when did you hear about this possibility? Wouldn't non-Argentine credit card companies fight such a surcharge?

Where is this world that seems like the real one to you?

Check if this is still being offered. ''Club Silencio" held Friday nights: (Address given when you call or email): on Loyola (Garruchaga/Acevedo) 3-4 bl. south of Cordoba + 3 bl. West of Scalabrini. (Villa Crespo) Theatre and senses with Shed playing an instrument: blindfolded + lights + sounds...

Having pre-packaged (refrigerated) egg whites is great if one's doing the "Dukan Diet" (fat-free, sugar-free, the lowest-carb veggies.) Without pre-packaged ones, the fridge accumulates 6 unused egg yolks some days at a time when you must not use them and then you feel wasteful for throwing them...

One thing you can do whenever you're living somewhere and there's this one darned ingredient you can't find is to ask a restaurant whose menu shows it must use it.

Congratulations! I have a friend who's returned to the US after living in BA a long time. This person is having significant difficulties readjusting and I fear may not despite being a most positive and adaptable person. It's not that...
