    Selling an adjustable office chair

    Well said ReplyGuy! It does remind me of my favorite office chair, had it in my office in Texas. When we sold the house, and pretty much everything else, I couldn’t bring myself to sell that Herman Miller Aeron chair! I still have it, it’s in storage in Texas. Not sure if it’d cost less to...

    What Would Dollarization Mean for Expats?

    Gates is a criminal sociopath. Back in the day he used the same mainframe computer company that rented out time on their “state of the art” computer. My fathers company was squeezed out because gates implanted viruses into the system, demanded more time, and held the computer company hostage...

    Meeting Americans

    Wow, well I certainly hope that the gov doesn't maintain a list of the number of immigrants from each country! Frankly, I'm rather fond of the Arg. Gov. being inept, and hope that they stay that way. I don't want to be on some list, tracked by thousands of cameras every day!! My...

    Hey Izno, Shooting is kind of my thing too! However, I’ve yet to find a way to Import mine, or purchase blasters or pills here, pistols rifles or shotguns. I’d love to find a way, and find a club/range. I used to shoot IDPA and USPSA (IPSC in the states), in Texas, and would love to take it...

    Bringing used printer to ARG

    I opted to sell my printer in the US, thinking it’d be easier to just buy one in Argentina (it was a large multifunction, that I too was very fond of! Brother ). I looked around, and the direct replacement was quite expensive here, so I opted for a much less expensive option. However I didn’t...

    Border Crossings In The South To Chile

    I crossed the Esquel border back in March of '07. Flew to Esquel, had an Argentine driver take me to the border, and a Chilean driver pick me up there, and spent an awesome week with the folks at ExChile.com , kayaking and rafting on the Futaleufú river. I believe that the roads on both sides...

    Situational awareness / the need of vigilance

    Thieves are by no means exclusive to Argentina! They are everywhere!! In any city in the world with a population over a million (and likely far less) there are parts of town where you can/will get in trouble quickly. We were broken into in Texas, Texas! Everyone has guns!! Anyway, on new...

    Situational awareness / the need of vigilance

    Is it legal anywhere in Argentina?? I hail from Texas, where I always carried a gun, unless I was carrying two. Everyone I’ve talked to tells me that it’s illegal to carry. Period! I’d love to hear otherwise…

    Best place to buy wine?

    My favorite is a road trip to the winery/s. Take a tour, a tasting, and buy a few cases. Fun times and bring some home!! I'd love to find a good distributor, or even retailer, but even if/when I find one, I'll still be pining for a winery trip! My spanish isn't great so much is lost on me in...
