    Electricity increases 400%?

    Can you do that? Not pay your electric and gas bill? Won't they cut your services? I am expecting the bills to come in a couple of days and I am not sure what to do - that is why I am asking. A friend left some money hoping her bills will be paid (sorta like last month's cost) but clearly it...

    Food Review of Sugar and Spice cookie and brownie

    Thank you for allowing me to post my second review, very much obliged. What I wanted to add was that the biscotti of Sugar and Spice that I got from the same Jumbo were better.

    Food Review for Sugar and Spice - Locked???

    I am so disheartened by the fact that I was hoping to post a "Thank you" for sergio's comment about Sugar and Spice (pricing comparison) but alas the thread is locked and closed.

    Argentinas outrageous Road Toll

    Joe, coming from Southern California, the lights are timed so the crosswalks are in synch with the lights being red so pedestrians can cross safely. Especially if there is a beeping sound (for the sight impaired aka blind). You can get a ticket for not making the blind cross the street safely...

I remember it being being next to where the old BlockBuster used to be when it was still on Gorostiaga (it moved somewhere else). Give it a a good browse, I...

    Argentinas outrageous Road Toll

    Thank you for starting this thread pericles. As someone who commutes daily using both the Gen. Paz and Panamericana, it is scary out there. I passed by the 10 car pile-up 2 days ago, there were luxury cars involved and 3 were on top of the freeway divide - how crazy is that! The speeds these...

    Is the Argentine Economy Going to Collapse?

    rmartinbuenosaires, there has been some "poltergeist" thing going on around here lately in the forum :-). I like your responses and they are straight to the point. I am thinking all the "ghostly disappearances" of "some" posts is in line with the changes that the El Gobierno is undergoing -...

    What to do if you get H1n1 flu symptoms

    Prevention is the real key. Just a reminder, wash your hands everytime you get home - after taking the subte, the bus or anywhere you have handled money and door handles. Try to avoid using too much alcohol - just use soap and water scrubbing past the wrist. Try to avoid touching face, nose and...

    Washing Clothes

    Joe, if you walk around your block somewhere in there is a LAVARAP or the like. Usually the girls in there can pick up and deliver your laundry for no extra cost (when not very busy), especially if I have lots of sheets and fluffy blankets to be washed, I ask them to pick up. Tipping is always...

    Is Argentina Doomed?

    rivardco, hi. I would like to think that with the recent election there is always hope for more improvement. The Argentinians have always been a resilient lot and they know when they have enough. The message for change was loud and clear in the last election (a few days ago). Do not scratch...

    Food Review of Sugar and Spice cookie and brownie

    thank you for the suggestion nikad, I will do that. The premise why I posted here originally (one that is still M.I.A) was because frank introduced himself here at one time and his line of cookies, so just like any review we all do on restaurants, places to eat and donuts I wanted to know if...
