In the US people shop for fruits and vegs maybe once a week so these foods are bred and handled to look good and stay fresh longer, thicker skins, genetic manipulation, refrigerated trucks, spraying wax on them, etc. In other countries people prefer to shop more often and get their food so the...

I've been paying our cleaning lady since March. Is it reasonable for me to ask her to come for an hour once or twice a week to sweep and tidy up the yard?

After Tuesday's debate it's clear that Trump can't win the election. Will the Republicans use his illness as an opportunity to gather behind Mike Pence? Can Pence beat Biden?

She's accomplished so much in the last 4 years.

If Trump goes down, Pence moves up but so does Scary Nancy.

Thats a current dem talking point, that Trump wont leave the office if he loses. I hear it from all my dem friends and family. I could see a repeat of 2000 where the election was close and it took time to count and recount the manual ballots. But that was resolved well before Jan 20. Aside...

I give the win to Biden. No points were scored, nothing stuck and Biden still ahead and another week closer to the election. He did whats called a Tempo in chess, where you make your opponent waste an opportunity. Maybe Biden scored some points by holding up for 90 minutes.

Because of Biden and Trumps age, I'll be watching the vp debates with extra interest. If over the next four years whoever is the vp ascends to the presidency they will be eligible to run as the incumbent in 2024 and again in 2028. That could give us up to 11 years of President Pence or...

So far I've been able to use Skype to phone my US banks for free or close to it. To fix your current problem you might try to have someone in the US make a 3 way call. The new number that you are planning to use will have to be a US number. If its a wireless number the carrier may close it if...

The bacon we had was sliced. You should look at Carrefour, Disco, other online grocers to see if they offer slab/chunk.

Update: I just had some of the $2,245/k bacon. It was excellent, too my bacon-starved palate it was just like American bacon. I even cooked it in the microwave. A few weeks ago I had the $1,299/k bacon cooked in a skillet. It was excellent too.

Two worries: some side effects may not show up until later. Rushing the manufacturing process can weaken the quality control and result in 'bad batches' of vaccine..

I heard Biden warning people not to trust any vaccine that's rushed into production by Trump. My doctor kinda agrees, politics aside the first batch of vaccine carries more risk. Also that it's worth travelling back to the US to get innoculated there instead of in Argentina. Are you going to...

I don't know about cats but my dog got a nice sized room with a door to an outside caged area. Plenty of room to walk around and get fresh air or stay indoors. The outside area overlooked a lawn. A couple of times a day he could run on the lawn. They also gave him a bath before I took him...

We leave our animals at Trudy's in City Bell. Its outside the city but they're really good ie: they have a vet on duty and examine all incoming animals. So at least you'll have peace of mind.

Happy 5781 everyone. While we're on the subject, there's something I always wondered about. Its the Jewish year 5781. But for the Chinese it's only 4718. What did our ancestors do for take out during those 1063 years?

In 2021 I expect to be living with Sophia Vegara and our new son in Beverly Hills, Ca. That maybe a longshot but,hey, what were the odds I'd spend 2020 in lockdown.

If you leave your home to, for example, spend 2 months in Thailand, is there any risk of squatters seizing your house? This has become very common in Spain.
