    How tough is it to go and live in the USA

    I'm not going to list the various visa options as you can read it for yourself here: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis I want to correct an earlier entry though: The 'Green Card lottery' or more correctly, -The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program is not expensive. It is free. If you pay...

    Building dispute

    Thanks for everyone's opinion. I have stood my ground with the building administration and they are supposedly discussing it with Telecentro. In short: There are 37 departments below me, meaning potentially 37 cables to pull. The only way (using the current distributor box) to pull the cables...

    When are apartment prices finally going to fall??

    This is my observation too and it is mind-numbing. The state is an enabler in this with their import restrictions. High tariffs serve only to buy votes and to develop bad domestic business practices. Neil

    Introducing outselves - Monica and Truls :-)

    My need for vafler is not acute, it is chronic. I haven't had any since 1990. I suggest you whip up a batch and bring them with you next time Capt. Dave has a BBQ. I can bring the brunost. Neil

    Building dispute

    -Negative. The distributor box was placed on the water tank above my roof terrace. Therefore, 24 subscribers for the floors below will require 24 cables. The terrace is private and is detailed in my escritura. N

    Building dispute

    My neighbor below is threatening to sue me because I won't let Telecentro pass their cable through my property (terrace). I don't want to look at the cable and certainly not the other 23 cables for the departments below that will quickly show up if I set precedence with allowing the first cable...

    Whatever happened to hope and change?

    Ben&Bliss: -The right is always framing the issues? You have GOT to be kidding! Obama and cronies have the full cheer leading efforts of The New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC and every other traditional media company in the US. These report only stories that favor a...

    Cockroach Fumigation Toxicity

    That's probably because dogs put their tongues where people (normally) don't. I wouldn't take the dog statement to be something that necessarily applies to humans. Neil

    Deadly passtime

    OK, so the article has no relation to this forum whatsoever (except perhaps to that post claiming Buddhist are less violent then Catholics. Philippines is 80% Catholic), but it's a very fun read. So, snuggle up to a GRO, grab a beer and a mic and let's party. Neil...

    does such a place exist in buenos aires?

    Pez. Your cousin can offset a lot of his own impact if he walks to Bs As. After that, he can stay at a 'dirty' hotel with less worry. Neil

    `the Death of America - 21/01/10 - R.I.P.

    -Sounds to me like he was trying to blame banks for his being in perpetual debt. It's hard to take seriously a man who fathers children with his slave while claiming to be an abolitionist. Neil

    So, safe areas??

    I have found that Banco Frances lets you take out up to AR$1,000 per transaction now. However; doing multiple transaction without having to reswipe your card and reenter you code is simply idiotic. I know of no other country where this is possible. It is easy for a criminal to muscle someone...
