Well, garryl's post just goes to show that there is still a lot of misunderstanding when it comes to mental illness and addiction. These are not things that can be magically cured by a simple change in location, some sunshine or seeing people on the street, but a lot of people out there still...

Is this your first kitty? If it is, you may not know that the great thing about a cat is that as long as you leave enough food, water and a litter box, you can leave it for days at a time provided that the temperature within your home won't become too extreme. I grew up with three cats who hated...

Such a talent and a such a massive part of my childhood. "Mrs. Doubtfire," "Aladdin," "Hook," the list goes on and on. I do remember when he relapsed a few years back. Earlier tonight I was cooking and listening to the radio when I heard the news. I'm like Noruega in that I've never really been...

Oh hey, well hello to you, too! Holy shit, I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to y'all. :( I'm so glad no one was hurt in the end, although of course what happened was certainly horrible enough many times over. That sounds so scary. I don't even know what else to say except I'm so sorry...

Heh, actually, when Néstor Kirchner died and there were a ton of people marching and being generally disruptive in and around the Plaza de Mayo, I was trying to cut through there to meet a friend for lunch in the centro (dumb idea, couldn't get through) because all my classes had suddenly been...

Yeah, front to back is taught at potty training age, he just meant that as long as you're doing that, it's enough. I just thought it was interesting that a doctor had this opinion about bidets and wanted to share. Frankly, since the man is an MD working in a very well-respected clinic doing...

Love that guy. Embedding is disabled. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DnGOukmEIE

You're getting a bunch to bring to book club, right? :lol:

Ladies and gentlemen (well, just ladies I guess, actually), I have consulted with a medical professional about the use of bidets. According to my gynecologist at IADT, bidets are bad for women and we shouldn't use them! He brought it up, in fact. This is how the conversation went: Doc: Do you...

My health insurance (Medicus) is going up 9% next month. That's annoying, but not really surprising.

Something came up and I won't be able to make it. I'm bummed! Enjoy, everyone.

Anecdotally speaking? The numbers I know personally have dwindled because people either simply left, started studying something, finally found someone who would sponsor a work visa or got married/had a kid, but yes, I still know permatourists here. Some are even business owners. But generally...

TVP showed a great documentary about Estela and her cause last night. Don't know the name because I didn't catch it from the very beginning, but I'm sure they'll show it again. Here's the Bubble story with a video of the whole press conference...

Update: I sprinkled a generous amount of bicarbonato de sodio all over it, dunked it in a pot with the same vinegar I used before and simmered it for a few hours. After that, I was able to scrub the shower head clean with minimal effort. Don't do this near any clothes you're drying--they will...

No, you misunderstood. My tone was that of exasperation for my own personal situation--this is the last time I'll be flying back to Argentina after a trip home, and now I have to worry about being deported when I didn't want to come back here to begin with. I would never joke about what happened...

Okay, here is my plan for what I'm going to bring with me to fly to and from the U.S. at the end of this month. This time around I've been here since April of this year and will have to pay the fine upon leaving for the first time ever (used to leave the country every 90 days). I last left in...

Had your friend actually gone through any steps towards attaining citizenship? "Over a few years" is a bit vague, could you be more specific? How many times had he paid the fine? Actually, I hope your friend comes on here and answers our questions. What a horrible situation.

I meant on the forum in general. Americans are lazy, stupid, fat, ignorant, etc. These comments pop up all the time, usually from American posters who I guess want to show everyone that they're not like those *other* Americans. Eye roll. Anyway, the constantly changing ins and outs of life in...

I will never understand people who move abroad and suddenly expect all their friends and family back home to be an expert on their new home. It strikes me as very self absorbed. Why the hell should anyone know the ins and outs of the blue rate as opposed to other crises occurring in the world...

I'm in! I've been wanting to try that place ever since you recommended it. It will be cool to meet you, Davidglen77. You've been one of my favorite posters since I first started lurking here.
