Thanks for this info guys. Pricing sounds good, -comparable to a US renter's policy for a 1 bedroom apartment. I'd love to get some details from you next time we run into each other. Thanks Neil

Do you bother with this? What does it cost and do you have faith in being able to process a claim if necessary? Neil

This forum is making me paranoid. I'm going to watch YouTube videos now. Neil

Is anyone behind that mask? Neil

No one has ever been able to send an SMS from abroad to my Movistar pay-as-you-go. Neil

'Inflation addiction' is a very fitting term. The Argentines are their own worst enemy when it comes to the subject of rising prices. The government plays a part, -no doubt, but all the small mom & pop stores in this city with their habitual price hikes must take a large share of the blame for...

-No, he doesn't. The Argentine landlords drive the prices up. Neil

The sporadic infidelity one hears so much about here is interesting. I do not judge that behavior, but for me who grew up in a different culture, it is incomprehensible. To me, infidelity is a sign that something is wrong in the relationship, -perhaps an inevitable event when two people are in...

I suspect if you want to transmit and receive data / emails on a US phone while in Argentina, it would be very expensive in the long run. Two years ago I racked up over AU$7,000 in a single month on my Australian Telstra phone while using it for data in the US for a couple of weeks. (My boss was...

They're engaged in other things. -Which is to be expected, given that the attention span of an Obama supporter is about par with that of a goldfish. Neil

I like how he wears his ears upside down to guard his 'do. Of course; his firearm handling leaves a lot to be desired. -Left hand in pocket, finger on trigger when muzzle not aimed at the target. -Both no-nos. Neil

You hit the nail on the head. This behavior is a common (perhaps even defining) trait among leftists/liberals in every country. It never ceases to amaze me how freedom, democracy, laws, etc. are only to be respected when doing so agrees with their agenda. Neil

You have such a way with words, Dudester. Thank you so much for sharing your eloquent posts with all of us. They are to the mind what poetry is to the soul. Bravo! Neil

Dudester: You should really stop commenting about US politics and legal decisions since you obviously don't know what you're talking about. The five private entities that spent the most during the 2008 election, are as follows: US Chamber of Commerce: $36.4 Freedom's Watch (political action...

Hey ReemsterCARP: Does this answer your question? http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704320104575014982123360418.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_LEFTTopStories Neil

Thank you Silvi and Porteña for organizing this event. It was great to meet everyone. I'm sorry I had to leave so early, but I had another engagement. I hope everyone can get together again soon, perhaps in a place more conducive to conversation. Thanks again. Neil

-That's bad. One can't help but wonder where that ranks compared to having your political career launched and endorsed by Bill Ayers. Hmmm... it's a conundrum, alright. Neil

You seem ill-informed about US politics. Both the 110th and 111th congress had/have Democratic majority in both the House and the Senate. You may not realize how legislation is passed, but in short; both the House and the Senate must approve a bill, then the President signs it into law. -Your...

There IS a God! Neil

Thanks Ries. I will try your suggestions. I have not had much luck with the pulgas in the past. They appear horribly overpriced to me. It seems as if the vendors buy some old junk, paint it and expect to sell it at a price equivalent to a new piece. The only reason I've visited the pulgas...
