Thanks for the tips friends!

Hi folks, I hate doing this, but I have two dogs that I need to put up for adoption. Both of them were abandoned by neighbours of ours, and we have been caring for them for a while now (since we have a patio) but we are moving to an apartment and won´t be able to keep them. The first dog is...

sorry - asked a question but found my answer, so removed this post!

I lived in an African country that receives a lot of Chinese imports of the worst possible quality (I think the Arg quality chinese imports are even slightly higher if you can believe!) - when the africans starting complaining about how terrible the Chinese stuff was, the Chinese ambassador (?)...

basic teeth cleaning services at the dental place in Once train station - 40 pesos. I live in Zona Oeste, where it's clearly much cheaper for dental work. I had a root canal and a tooth that was cut in half repaired, all for 500 pesos. I also had another chipped tooth repaired, and a protesis...

That's right! In capital I have to chain up my bike if I use the chino. I live in Zona Oeste - dirt road, and a number of cartoneros live around the corner - I look like an idiot tying up my bike at the chino. Nobody else does! Everyone on the block knows each other since forever, and look...

:) You are awesome Christian, and we love you.

The people I know who are homeschooled are all very talented and intelligent. One is a specialist surgeon, who never finished his high school exams, but entered uni as a mature age student (so much for not being taught of aware of anything scientific). Another is an amazingly gifted...

You would think so, wouldn't you. Not even a reputable immigration agency who specialise in getting citizenships could tell me!

Hi, I am hoping to apply for citizenship but live in Provincia de Buenos Aires (in Merlo, zona oeste), and understand that I don't apply at Tribunales in Capital but need to apply somewhere else. Does anyone know the address of this 'somewhere else'? Thanks so much.

Does anybody here know anything about homeschooling here in Argentina? Is it even legal here? This probably applies most to people who are resident or citizens, but does anyone here homeschool, and if so, can they give any tips or pointers on how it works? Thanks in advance for your help.

Beg pardon? I must have missed something. Vegemite was ruined? When did that happen? :P

back to the food thing... so happy they've not been able to ruin the almighty Vegemite! :D

Thank you everyone for your advice and recommendations (and sorry for the delay in replying - bad internet, and then no electricity all day). I really appreciate it. I'm just glad there is a solution. Thanks!

Thank you for the sympathies. :) Just so you know, my accident didn't involve other vehicles, just me doing something stupid - which is probably the worst part about it. It was totally avoidable. Don't let one woman's stupidity (mine!) give you doubts about the biking. :) I love biking, and...

There hasn't been any action on this thread for a while but I was wondering if people had any further recommendations or updates for this Pelcman guy, or other people they can recommend for doing dental implants. Oh, and any ideas on current prices. Had my two top front teeth knocked out in a...

I would sustain that you are wrong, those resources are the wealth. If we don't have food, if we don't have water, if we don't have fuel/energy, we're not going to last long on this planet. And those are the things that everyone is fighting for i.e. wealth (although yes, they are also...

Money isn't the root of all evil - it's THE LOVE OF MONEY which is the root of all evil i.e. greed. Although you are right - just redistributing wealth isn't going to change the fact that people are greedy and mostly always going to want more than their fair share (or be wasteful, not share...

This might be a bit old, but we were able to train one of the dogs we are looking after to chase the neighbours cat out of the yard (although he's not super faithful with that). The neighbours cat was also coming into our house and eating our cat's food and peeing. We caught him inside one...

Hi, I just saw your post now. I posted yesterday as I have a dog that would like to find a home for. Unfortunately she's a bit bigger than a Jack Russel - she's a German Shepherd! She's not one of those huge ones though. She's probably about a year old or so, and so while still young and...
