Thanks Risu, will do this!!

BTW, am now doing the other protocol, eating an egg-shell every day, supposed to regenerate teeth.

thanks nyer4ever, I will try the herb store. I did oil pulling for about two years and it was great. Then I got slack, esp as you can't get the right oils in my barrio, only sunflower. I think that's why i noticed my gums weaken. Am back on it. What a shame it's not poss to get my fave coconut...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comfrey It mustn't be swallowed if used as a mouthwash as it can be toxic to the liver. Says on wiki that it shouldn't be used for more than 10 days.

Where can you buy milk so cheap? In my barrio the cheapest stinky sachet is $7.50! And larga vida is $9.00 or $10.00

One last try, I read that swishing with a decoction of this every day can improve gum health.

Has anyone seen it here? I read it's called raiz de consuelda, would that be right? I will check the herbs at the pharmacy counter...

I make ham and cheese empanadas with the premade tapas and with the large pascualina tapa I make a quiche. For the quiche, line a cake tin with a large tapa. Fry up a chopped onion and add 1/2 a chopped red pepper, fry some more Finely chop a few slices of ham Chop up or grate 100g cheese Whisk...

What a loss. Glad to have gone to one of his poetry readings many years ago at the Cheltenham lit fest.

Try the chinese supermarket, go for a smaller one that looks like a mom'n'pop store rather than a conglomerate.

Today I went to collect a sander which had been dropped off for repair in January. When I called in April, it wasn't ready yet (!) The shop vendor told me that I was being given a new sander as there weren't any parts available to repair it due to import bans. Obviously I'm delighted to have a...

I was quoted 150 dollars to bring over something from US, so that seems a very fair mark up to me to. Btw, the expat air steward quoting that amount, knew it was to bring over a braille machine to donate to the blind, que verguenza! Thankfully a very kind baexpats member helped instead.

I once found God when I was travelling on the tube. I handed him in at the Lost Property office at Baker Street. God knows what happened to him...

Ask your mummy to put some patak's paste in a ziplock bag (and then another) and send it to you in a padded envelope.

Another thing which has been covered in other threads, you will be required to choose a name for your baby off the official name list.....

I don't think water births are allowed in Argentina. At least that's what my midwife told me in 2011. Her name is Olga Mauro, she works with the ob-gyn Dr. Lodeiro. They were very supportive about me giving birth at home though ultimately it wasn't possible for me. His consultorio details are -...

Another milk moan. I've tried buying the sachets (well within the sell-by date), but often when you snip the corner, a nasty gassy smell emerges and the milk just doesn't smell fresh. Anyone else have this problem?

Sorry, I don't believe the lack of fat theory. You can taste a certain powderiness in the skimmed milk which makes me think it's reconstituted. Like the dehydrated and reconstituted canned peas - tried them once, never again!!

Well the pope should never have started opining about the malvinas, inflation, pizza et al. He should stick to more godly subjects.

Bring any food you can't do without. There's not much here apart from meat, bread, pasta, fruit and veg and you'll be cooking from scratch every day, maybe even making your own yogurt. My skinny husband loses several kilos more when we're here. Deodorants cost an arm and a leg and, haha, often...
