Great question and definitely something to think about. It is good that he was honest with you about never wanting to live in the U.S., even though it seems rather inflexible. You love him enough to consider staying here but he isn't willing to expand his horizons to try living in another...

The wacky tweets, the tearful outbursts, the dirty jokes, the bizarre pontifical communications -- cleary she's on bath salts!

Kale is hard to find here, but bok choy is in season (3 packages for $5) has all the same good stuff and is even a negative calorie food.

At first I thought there must be Canadians here with the donut talk, but no mention of Tim Hortons. Must just be expat stoners :)

I don't know but it always makes me laugh and I've always wondered the same thing. Often it is when I am cooking for friends and as they observe my free hand with the spices they say, "No, no, por favor — cosas picantes me dan un ataque de higado!"

Hmmm. Please get a second opinion, which is sounds like you are doing. I had a female dentist here tell me I had five cavities. Weird because I've only had two in my life, barely eat sugar and brush my teeth. I got a second opinion and it turned out I had none, the dentist just wanted to...

I wondered the same thing. Argentina might have been a good choice. The precedent is 9-11 videographer, Kurt Sonnenfeld. He has asylum here.

They are strict about the kids because of the Hague Convention, but I agree they want bribes. I know some folks who work at the airport (which saved me in one ramble with migraciones) and have heard some stories. There are some real shady types working there. Think about all the drugs that go...

You say you're smart but got a PhD in English lit, ba ha ha. :lol:

Quakers aren't usually known for being inflated, but my local oatmeal eatin' moments-of-silence loving Friends group was infiltrated by the FBI. I was followed around by the Secret Service for months while making anarchist style anti-war collage posters at age 16. They didn't even give up the...

GMO soy protein, maltodextrin, antibiotics, rBGH, artificial colors, carrageenan, refined sugar and dangerous levels of fortification with metallic iron which can damage organs. Bleh! Sometimes I wonder if people realize what is in the processed food they eat (?)== Sorry to sound...

Right but I've worked hard in my life and take care of myself, so the idea that the court thinks it would be better to say I'm dependent on a man is pretty machista. When i did my citizenship for another wealthier country the idea was to make sure new citizens would contribute and not get on...

Thanks, well the lady wants me to present my beau's work contract for 'medios de vida'. I, on the other hand, find the idea of going before a judge and telling him I'm dependent on a man to be able to survive -- when I'm not -- very distasteful. If I was the judge, I would think that a person...

Sorry to hear about your back -- that is really terrible for a dancer. Hey I got my judge -- Horacio Alfonso. Do you have any insider info on him? And for everyone else, if you can afford to hire Christian, do it, because it is quite a headache on your own. I have to study and then site...

Looks to be true: http://www.businessinsider.com/japan-blocks-huge-us-wheat-import-2013-5 I wrote a comprehensive article on GMOs in '98 and delved into the topic with completely objectivity. A scientist from the FDA told me that all the grains (those deemed safe for human consumption and...

MP and I seemingly live in alternate realities, although she does have some good points in regards to women professionals 
 ...off the cuff. Can't achieve: - having male platonic friends who aren't gay -not having good old-fashion friendliness misinterpreted as romantic interest - being...

One person who was there was Clarín founder, Roberto J. Noble. At the time, there was a thriving intellectual Jewish community here, with many Yiddish publications being produced, and the largest Yiddish theatre scene in the world. The Nazi activity and Argentina's welcoming of fleeing Nazis...

Have you seen the apartment or do you know the address? I've read quite a few ads and 'The apartment is close to UADE' is sometimes code for Monserrat or Constitucion but real estate people will still call it San Telmo for its marketability. And San Telmo is a dynamic and friendly neighborhood...

The organic market on Peru and Chile on Fridays has it but it is expensive, ARS15 for a small jar (about equal in size to a stick of butter).

Honesty is the best policy it is then. Muchas grassy ass!
