    Presidential Transition

    This is one of the funniest threads I have read in a long time. Reagan - Iran-Contra and invasion of Grenada - as an example of democratic process in leadership?

    Fish & Chips Anyone...??

    I've eaten at Chipper a few times. There were 2 kinds of fish - similar to cod - a chunky white meat - both good. The batter flavor was excellent. They did not have the traditional North Atlantic cod - not surprising, since North Atlantic cod fisheries off Newfoundland were destroyed by...

    Has Anyone Had A Bank Account Closed Due To Facta

    In about 1985 I had an account at a British brokerage in Hong Kong closed since I had become a US person for tax purposes and the brokerage did not want to start filing paperwork with USG. The purpose of the IRS reporting, as I they understood it, was to create additional business cost to...

    Recommendations For Allergists And Ent Docs

    I can highly recommend the otorrino Dr Santiago Draghi. He consults Tuesdays near Plaza Italia from about 5pm on at a Oro 2494 Piso 1, about 3 doors down from Santa Fe. Best way to get an appointment I found was to show up there at about 4:30 on a Tuesday and talk to his receptionist to see...

    Beaware Of Fatca

    Thanks for the reminder about this. I called the IRS phone number for queries about international taxes last week. The wait time on that international line was about one hour. The line was solid - the call didn't drop while waiting. There was no call-center nonsense of being transferred...

    Dni Paperwork Processing,

    Sorry I cannot recommend a channeler. You don't mention in your query the apostille. In case you missed reading about that in the forums, after the FBI sends out the report which has to include an FBI seal, it has to go to the State Dept to be apostilled.

    Container Garden Pests Aphids/mites Help!

    Aphids are pale green in color and have tiny visible wings when adult. They can be controlled by spraying with water that has some dish detergent added. The detergent acts as a wetting agent so that the water completely wets the aphids, causing them to suffocate from drowning. I find...

    New Member, Kind Of...

    The book The Complete Guide to Real Estate Investment in Argentina by Simon Fawkes is detailed and was accurate last time I looked at it. The process of buying an apartment in BsAs in 2009 was almost identical to the process in the US, with about the same number of weeks taken for processing...

    Start-Up Meet, Sat 2Pm Aug 23Rd

    Those coming to the start-up meeting, I will see you this Saturday at 2pm. Academia is a bit noisy, but I could hear people. We probably need to try and move chairs a bit more. For the future I also like quieter cafes. If we can find one that is easy to get to and quiet that would be great.

    Any Advice On Getting An Mri In Buenos Aires?

    I injured my back in a car accident in New Zealand many years ago. I've had treatment in Japan, S Korea, and the US. Finding someone competent who can provide helpful diagnostic and rehab advice for back problems takes time and work. What I now do is to ask for the best spine doctor around...

    Any Advice On Getting A Physical Therapist?

    I met an English PT here about 4 months back. Send me a pm and I'll try to find the contact info for you. I had successful PT for a foot injury, from a local kinesiologist in Belgrano, covered under Medicus insurance. The kinesiologist required a diagnosis and prescription from my local...

    If You Are A Brit, Clap Your Hands!

    The rain and cloud, the Roman, Viking and Norman invasions, the feudal social structure, the Church - all these played a part. So yeah, stand under a shower for a few months, get painted with woad ....
