Thanks Lee, but I have successfully weened myself off PB. -Don't want to get back in the habit. Neil

I have been using my ATM card here since 2003 and have never received counterfeit money from a machine. Neil

Does anyone have a Danish-style (see links) couch they are getting rid of? I would consider a 2 or 3-seater, preferably gray or brown. Thanks Neil http://www.omnipod.co.uk/details.asp?cat=F&code=563 http://www.city-furniture.be/itemviewer.php?id=106...

I think the ones wearing Guevara shirts are all watching 'Aló Presidente'... Neil

Some of my guests have enjoyed staying on Calle Florida. -Makes walking around easy and it's really hard for a tourist to get lost between Florida and LaValle. Howard Johnson is good and is 1/2 block from Plaza San Martin where all the cabs are. Neil

I am so happy I chose today to start pouring cement on my roof. -Should be the consistency of milkshake by now...

-Oh; and I love mopping my living room floor after a rainstorm. I was just reminded of that. Neil

Half the people have left town, my building is quiet, the streets are near deserted and all the little devil spawn have finally shot of the last of their fireworks. -Should be like this year-round. Neil

Lee: Yes, you still count. In fact; you can still vote in Chicago. Neil

There must be two Argentinas. The one described in the article and the one I live in. Neil

Possible the US passport numbers started to change when they introduced the new books with embedded electronics a few years ago. Neil

The video is sharp, but something is wrong with the audio track. It's all giberish. Neil

Fess up to your friend. There's no way you can resurface wood and have it look exactly the same as before. Neil

Fibertel is giving me 3M download and .25M upload, -which is what I'm paying for. Download speed has varied greatly in the past but seems to have gotten a little better now. They are definitively restricting large file downloads. The first mp3 album downloads at 3Mb/s, but the next one may...

What's a 'large sum of money'? Can I walk into a casa de cambio, put down US$100,000 and have it show up in my US bank account days later? Seems unlikely, but I'd love to be proven wrong. Neil

$200 is definitively gringo pricing. Owen's prices seem to be the going rate in Bs As as far as I can tell. It seems impossible to get a therapeutic massage in Bs As. I was hit by a car eight years ago and have chronic back pain that needs regular attention, but I have simply given up finding...

Orwellian is right: Apple products are the droppings of Satan. -Reminds me of one of the greatest Simpson clip, -the trip to the Mapple store: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7L2fsubA2-c and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZGIn9bpALo Neil

That would be an interesting comparison. Are there any economists on this forum that can crunch the numbers for us? Chopping down trees to make books. Shipping the books to your house in a diesel-powered truck. (Hopefully) recycling the old book into the pulp for new books. vs. Mining...

Now, this is really completely off topic, but I really have to ask someone. I mean no disrespect to those people who have and like their electronic book readers, but to me; electronic gadgets like the Kindle is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. Me thinks as follows: You use to buy a...

I just came in from DFW on AA this morning on a one-way ticket. Now, I happened to have a return ticket, but it was also a one-way ticket and booked separately. The ticket agent didn't know this and would have no way on knowing it, either. There were no issues at the check-in counter. In my...
