    Can I bring a used flatscreen TV in my luggage?

    Would "I was robbed at the bus station and they stole my suitcase" be a reasonable explanation for leaving without luggage? Certainly plausible.

    Leaving ARG for medical emergency, need to renew my precaria

    Good luck to you as well, Alby. I'll update the thread when something happens in case anyone in the future searches for a solution to their problem.

    Can I bring a used flatscreen TV in my luggage?

    My monitor made it all in one piece in my checked bag, but it was in the original packaging and the gaps were filled with socks.

    Leaving ARG for medical emergency, need to renew my precaria

    Was at Migraciones yesterday. In order to get the permission I'm seeking I need to return with purchased tickets and a note explaining why I want to leave. Might be able to do that Monday if I'm leaving Tuesday, might have to blow it off if I leave Monday. If that's the case maybe I'll try to...

    Leaving ARG for medical emergency, need to renew my precaria

    Went to Migraciones earlier. They're renovating the building and the part of the building they're currently using isn't being opened to let people in. At least when I was there and there were a ton of people waiting on the sidewalk and the only employee never went out past the half opened door...

    Leaving ARG for medical emergency, need to renew my precaria

    Just found my Precaria. 22/02/2023:TRAMITE EN PROCESO DE SUPERVISION Expires 7 March. Just did the online renewal. System says the same as above without noting that it was actually renewed (like the past 3 times). Maybe it doesn't renew automatically but someone has to process my request for...

    Leaving ARG for medical emergency, need to renew my precaria

    I told my wife about your waiting three years and having to renew your Precaria 11/12 times. She told me she got her residency within a year and that maybe they already came to deliver my DNI but no one answered so it got returned to Migraciones. Always the optimist where I'm the guy who thinks...

    Leaving ARG for medical emergency, need to renew my precaria

    Thanks for the responses. Busy dealing with this family situation and a different medical situation on this end. I can't find the copy of the Precaria at the moment and I'm not positive on the expiration date, but I'm pretty sure it's the 12th of March. If not then, it's within a few days of the...

    Leaving ARG for medical emergency, need to renew my precaria

    I applied for my DNI a little over a year ago and I'm still waiting to receive the card. Every few months when it gets near the deadline I make the trip to Migraciones in Córdoba and they always tell me to wait another few months and then give me a new paper showing I'm in the system with a new...

    Correo Argentino

    First time user looking for some general info and tips. I need to send some official documents to a govt. agency in the US and want them to have the best chance of making it to their destination since it's not like personal mail where someone will advice me if/when they receive them. Sending...

    Still an American at heart

    When it comes to the chains, I'm told Waffle House is the place for hash browns. Family run Greek diners are a Million times better than any of those chain places for breakfast (or any other meal).

    Argentina gets a $500mln loan for climate change

    If 'Truth in Advertising' rules applied they would be honest and call this a grant instead of a loan.

    Still an American at heart

    I always figured you need to understand how the system (whatever it is) works wherever you're at and then do your best to adapt because getting all huffy puffy angry or trying to go against the current never works in the moment and leaves one feeling upset. I've walked out of restaurants where...

    Dialysis in BA

    I can't help you with your specific request, but my wife is a peritoneal dialysis patient in Córdoba. She currently gets her treatment with the supplies and boxes of liquid through the state, but when she arrived in Argentina from Perú about a year and half ago we had to pay for her treatment...

    Do you consider this dishonest?

    Makes sense. That second, sugar free, option you linked to isn't in my local Super. Costs 1.100 for delivery. I just switched back to mate, but I may have to start looking harder to find something not torrado at a decent price, as I do enjoy my coffee.

    Do you consider this dishonest?

    Could it be that it's marked correctly for the registers and incorrectly labeled at the shelf? 1200 for a half-kilo of La Morentina is more in line (though still more expensive) with what is charged where I am.

    Websites that review Argentine wines or have active forums

    Anyone know of a comprehensive website that reviews Argentine wines or where they're talked about on a forum? English would be easier and faster for me to read if such a website exists, but I'm more interested in websites that are comprehensive in their coverage of Argentine wines so Spanish...

    Farewell to William Hurt

    I'm going to put 'Altered States' on the rewatch list. Also, for something a bit more obscure, 'Until The End of The World' by Wim Wenders. I have the 6-7 hour director's cut and though not Wenders' best, I've always liked it for Hurt and the pursuit around the world crime/love story.

    Western Union money transfer

    200 is such a nice, round number. 188 right now. I'll still use 200 to calculate things and then make that slight adjustment that's not in my favor.

    Anyone have a good car to sell?

    I was just going by this comment from the last page, but I honestly have no idea. Maybe I took it literally when it wasn't meant to be? "Here, a Civic is a large, expensive, imported car, with status."
