    Spanish Conversation Group

    We have the same thing going on for a couple of years at the Club Europeo, every Wednesday between 7 and 9pm. It´s a great mix of expats from all over, and locals with a very relaxed atmosphere. However it´s a midtown club so minimal dress codes apply. 10 pesos gets you the 2 hour chat, great...

    any update on the after effects of the farmer's strike

    Not to worry. If you can´t get a certain cut of meat one place, you can get it somewhere else. Same for vegetables, etc. Nobody died of hunger because of the farmers´ strike. People were dying before and after for other reasons. When a government´s main worry is avoiding any hard-working...

    Tech Help Badly needed!!! Eng versions of Windows XP & MS Office?

    If your notebook is fairly new, it should have the OS built into the unit itself. (it´s hidden, you can´t see it but it´s there ready to reinstall, like factory new!) Then you say you have a recent back-up so you should have all your latest docs and apps there. Those can be placed on top of...

    What happened to the monthly dinners? I missed all last year´s and also the last one this January. Haven´t seen any more since. Anyone interested in organizing one, or at least a night out? It´s a shame to let all these beautiful days go by, and then start setting up meetings in the middle...

    U.S. Federal Tax Returns

    If you want the cash here and now, there are "casas de cambio" that will take the check and cash it for you, -no-questions asked- for something between 20 or 30 dollars. How they process the check afterwards becomes their problem. You get your cash instantly, minus the fee. Sending by courier...

    next meeting

    Funny options Davey, but it´s hard enough to get people (and even oneself) to go to a regular dinner-meeting. How about gathering again at Milion, next Fri, March 7, 8pm, with a full week to get the word around?? BTW, Blake, who showed up and how was it??

    Text messaging

    I just read your 3rd attempt using that scheme I gave you. You may have to delete the previous numbers, BEFORE the reply to the correct numbers can work. (or else the phone tries the stored version and NOT the new, correct number) Best is to reply to a mssg, from a new person you don´t have...
