    Do I Have To Kiss Everybody???

    Very! ;) . I have to admit that I actually had a crush on this guy fixing every single thing in the house... I said to my husband "thank God he is not my type". Now, the young assistant... cuuuute! B)

    Do I Have To Kiss Everybody???

    Well, yes, he's actually a handyman- not just painting, and he has been coming to our house for months now... At first it was a handshake, and the 2 boys who work with him were very respectful - just nodding... but after greeting them in my pjs for months, we have gotten cozy. :P

    Do I Have To Kiss Everybody???

    I hated it for the first 3, 4 years. Then I realized that I was putting too much energy into clumsily trying to avoid kissing and that sometimes the cost is high (for example with the moms at school :cool: ). I now find that it is just easier to go with it without giving it too much thought, and...

    What A Moto Robbery Looks Like

    He did not hear about Pablo Tonello either (the guy who was killed last month in Lacroze & Libertador). Amazing how you can hear his heart beating fast...

    Travel Permission For Minor - Fast Escribano?

    Thanks Nikad :) , I called them already, but in order to get one of those emergency appointments, I need to show them our tickets. I am not buying the tickets until I know I can travel - that's why I want to check with an escribano. Thanks again!

    Travel Permission For Minor - Fast Escribano?

    Hello! My daughter and I are traveling next Friday to Uruguay and I just realized that I need to get a travel authorization from her father, since she is a minor. I know you can do it at your local CGP, but there are no emergency appointments available and I was wondering if anyone can...

    Enfermerias

    I dont know what you mean by "enfermerias" (I mean, I don't know in what context that term was used), but anyway, any pharmacy should guide you on where to get your shot (don't know about Farmacity though). They usually have someone who knows how to give shots and they will do it for you. Suerte!

    Cerati Who ???

    I can probably sing 4, 5 of his songs. I do like his guitar - his singing, not so much... All in all, I liked him, he stood apart from those other "fierita" groups, Soda Stereo was different. But I do not understand people making such a fuss - to me, he has been dead for 4 years. It puzzles me...

    Rant

    Please do not take this as a defense of Argentine cooking, but during the 5 years I lived in the US, it took me a while to 'appreciate' American chains' pizza (I did find a couple Italian owned restaurants where they made decent pizza) and found most Italian dishes made in the USA to be...

    I Was Swindled Out Of $1000 Dollars

    I was actually thinking last night how humble you were in "confessing" this incident. I am so stupidly proud that I don't know if I would be able to admit that I had been fooled... (BTW, I had never heard the exp<b></b>ression "penny wise, pound foolish" - thanks for that too!) Hoping those...

    So Hospital Italiano Sucks, Which Alternative?

    Hi. No, you do not need to be a worker. Although it is related to Union Personal, Accord Salud is totally private. Neither my husband nor myself are employed in Argentina. I should add that it took me quite some time to get used to Accord, and that I hated for a couple years, but looking back I...

    So Hospital Italiano Sucks, Which Alternative?

    We use Accord Salud (la prepaga de Union Personal). My husband is 49 as well, last month he paid $ 936. So far we are satisfied with it, been using it for 5 years. My daughter required kinesiology last month and we found a good one through the cartilla who gave us an appointment for the next...
