My dear Tatan- 1. I only raised the issue about my background to raise my point and I said its "no big deal" didn't I? Its not bragging and its not arrogance about stating the facts....I am around 40 (statement). Go to the gym everyday (statement). I am financially independent (statement)...

No Fishface. Its very similar for men too. Once again, I am lucky in the sense that I am not interested in twenty-something kids who prey on older men for monetary favors in exchange for sex.Luckily and modestly, I am around 40, go to the gym everyday, considered attractive and am financially...

Yes, Colonia sucks after the first ten minutes the FIRST time. Fortunately last month I had to go there and the beauty now is....you don't have to spend the whole afternoon there. They have new boat service and you can (I did) take the 8 am boat, got there, walked outside, and got right back...

I find that most Argentine women, unlike their American counterparts, are mostly looking for a free ride, so to speak. Part of it is Latin culture where the male pays for everything, treats them like Goddesses and caters to their every whim. Ultimately it is the men who feed into this concept...

Wendy-I just recently switched gyms and am very pleased with where I go now. It is a chain called Megathlon and I use the one on Arenales. They have several location throughout Recoleta, Palermo and Barrio Norte and once you become a member of one, you can use the others as well. For example...

JG and Ernie-For whatever its worth, I agree with most of your comments, particularly regarding Grenadaiscool. He seems to have something to say on EVERY topic and usually its completely left field.Anyhow....as far as prices go....part of the problem is that unions (i.e., the Portero Union)...

JG-Don't forget the dog crap everywhere that the owners don't pick up even though its a law (like that means anything).In 2003 a bag of cat litter was 1.90. Today the same bag is 6.50. Yeah things have improved greatly. You pay alot more for a whole lot less and quality continues to decline...

Yeah thanks for your inputs. I have sent emails to CNN and BBC but expect little action. CNN seems to NEVER respond to anything. I had complained to them before about Larry King not being shown any longer here and they never responded. How many times can they show "My Best Friend's Wedding"...

Is anyone else perturbed by the fact that a few months ago, CABLEVISON blocked access to CNN, BBC and all other foreign language channels? Of course they didn't block CNN Espanol. I am curious. Is this a way, once again, for them to take advantage of foreigners....by forcing us to pay TWICE...

Called "Pura Vida Juice Bar" on Uriburu 1489. They also have a website. Ran by some young American kids, they have great, all natural smoothies, shakes and lite far for health concious people and as spicy as you want. Drop by and support these guys as they deserve a break. They have only...

Update on the ATM situation....Don't know if its just me but I did make several complaints to my bank and they of course told me it was an Argentine Central Bank issue. ANYHOW....yesterday I inadvertently asked for 500 pesos and got it. I have plus system for withdrawls. Hope it wasn't just a...

Johny-Well maybe its just me, but it seems that anytime elpanada responds or remarks, it makes no sense whatsoever other than sounding like a stark raving lunatic. FYI- I just came from Jumbo in Palermo...they have no PB but expect a shipment in month or so of Skippy. Lots of Cranberry juice...

mccaffa-It seems the best thing to do is just ignore Elpanada. To answer your questions...I have never seen American BBQ sauce here. I do occasionally find Cranberry Juice at the Disco in their imported section. Its hit and miss but I stock up when they have it. The two Discos are the one...

Although I am an idiot according to some comments because I simply used a comparison to Peanut Butter always being on the shelves in the U.S., and certain staples even produced or grown here are frequently not in stock....the idea of a 2:1 exchange rate really is not accurate in my humble...

Elpanada (or whatever it is)Your lack of comprehension and grammar in English, your lack of common courtesy to others and your lack of knowledge based on the ORIGINAL topic borders on stupidity. The more you write, the more you degenerate yourself. All one has to do is look at your chain of...

Your response is lacking any knowledge and fails to address mine. Where in the world did I say they should be stocking peanut butter in Argentina? If you can comprehend English, you will see that I used that as an example for the U.S. Don't respond because it is clear you have no idea what...

Elpanada-How many reasons do you want? I can go on for days but I just used those as an example. Thanks for believing that my comments can "sow" doubt in people's minds. As if I had control over the pathetic economic situation I SEE in Argentina. If only...To entertain you....I will give you...

Yes prices are getting outrageous. But its not only the prices but the availability of basic things that just seem to never be in stock or dissapear. I went to look for Pro-Plan diet catfood today and the store said that they haven't had any in 15 days and didn't know when they would get it...

BigBadWolf- I shouldn't say this....like that has ever stopped me before....BUT:I can't say for rental purposes, but I can tell you first hand that I used Reynolds as my agent when I purchased my apartment four years ago. I would never recommend that company to anyone. Their "motis operandi"...
