    It’s official Joe Biden becomes the 46 President of the United States.

    " Newly elected Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Wednesday said she plans on filing articles of impeachment against President-elect Joe Biden on his first full day in office next week." I say it can't come a day too soon...

    With a title like 'hey guys", I would advise against any job that requires any written communications.

    Argentina stuck in the 1960's?

    In Argentina, Gillette is running a series of commercials with a macho guy strutting around shaving finished off by being embraced by a googled eyed adoring lady. In the USA this would never be allowed. Last year Gillette debuted a series of commercials in the USA that criticized masculinity and...

    Are food and drinks being adulterated to deal with the lockdowns and inflation?

    On the front of my Gordon's Gin it says "Est London 1769... distilled using Alexander Gordon's Exacting Standards". On the reverse it says, "Industria Argentina" As someone mentioned considering the price in dollars - there is no way these are imported. I'm going back to wine...

    Are food and drinks being adulterated to deal with the lockdowns and inflation?

    I bought a bottle of Gordon's Dry Gin and threw it in the freezer as is my habit of 40 years plus. This is the first time I've had a bottle of hard liquor freeze on me. The freezing point is -25 degrees C since the alcohol content is 37.5%. Is it possible that my Patrick freezer can get this...

    I need a Back Doctor recommendation

    I'm looking for a back doctor / hospital recommendation. I'm in Palermo. I'd like a place that can take good x-rays or ultrasounds to see if it is an urgent problem or something that can be handled by a physical therapist.

    Poll: Which will kill more Argentines: the COV-19 Virus or the Quarantine?

    Most of us BAexpats knew this back in March, but we were lectured we had to listen to "the experts". LOL https://nypost.com/2020/10/11/who-warns-against-covid-19-lockdowns-due-to-economic-damage/

    Natural Remedies for Dealing with Seasonal Allergies in Baires

    The last two times I've been in Baires in November I've had very bad allergies that progress to bronchitis. Since some of the symptoms are similar to COV-19, viz coughing, I'd really rather avoid it. I plan to use a steroidal spray early on this year, but I would like to know if any of you...

    Regional Images (discuss)

    As a resident of CABA - to be represented by an anime girl is deeply offensive. I think of myself more as a Gaucho in a previous life.

    Time to dump the Gaucho?

    I think Cole Hersch has found a viable replacement for G. But is this representative of Argentine culture?

    Time to dump the peso?

    When you ask a realtor if now is a good time to buy a house, the realtor always answers "there has never been a better time to buy!" When you ask an Argentine, if now is a good time to sell the peso, the Argentine always answers: "there has never been a better time to sell!".

    Time to dump the Gaucho?

    Saddleback College is debating whether to dump the gaucho as their school mascot because it's offensive. "The Gaucho is traditional to Argentine culture and therefore seen as offensive to some." Is he saying Argentine culture is offensive?!?!?! WTF I say support the Gaucho! In support of the...

    So much for herd immunity?

    The lockdowns were a big mistake and an economic disaster. Only at-risk populations should have been locked down which would have allowed the general population to develop herd immunity. Without herd immunity in the general population, the at-risk population will be at-risk indefinitely...

    Where's a Good Small Town to Ride Out the Storm?

    Azul seems more of a big town but quite nice. If I had a house with a vegetable garden my life would be more interesting than it is now. LOL

    Where's a Good Small Town to Ride Out the Storm?

    Movie houses are a relic of the past anyways... Have you moved to Supaicha? I can't imagine you would ever leave Recoleta. What are some of the nice small towns in Buenos Aires province? At this point we still need permits to travel outside of CABA I presume.

    Where's a Good Small Town to Ride Out the Storm?

    Someone said that these small towns wouldn't take kindly to a stranger. That's why I'm thinking a tourist town would be more hospitable to a stranger as well as the ease of finding empty AirBNB accommodations. And I don't have a car...

    Where's a Good Small Town to Ride Out the Storm?

    I'm have an apartment up to October 1st. I'm hoping I might escape to the campo then. Find a small house where I can do some vegetable gardening. I'm thinking tourist towns like Villa General Belgrano, etc might be a good choice because they are used to Yanquis and other foreigners. Are there...
