I tend to agree that I don't see this as someone trying to take anything out on you but rather someone hoping to find some empathy through a shared understanding of what should/should've happened with the lady who rudely ordered bread rolls and didn't then pick them up. As Chet mentioned...

Ditto..citygirl put how I feel perfectly into words. The only good news is that the worst part has reverted now I'm no longer a resident and just a visitor. I'm back to my old innocent naïve etc. I can trust my instincts about people which is something that completely threw me in Bsas.

Hang on guys. Arent you confusing actual miserable living conditions with stated disatisfaction. I know many Argentineans who love to complain, especially about their country. When we chat i tend to be the peppy one trying to focus on the positive or we'd all be drowning in misery and...

All this idea of legal wrangling for pennies is just distasteful. They treated you badly ok..but did you always hit back in the school yard when some kid tried to hit you? If you're an ethical, justice believing person walk away. Don't waste your time in ugly, bitter, negative legal efforts and...

Ice crystals in my ice-cream, more cream than ice in Bsas helado artesenal an just the way it should be.

Asked the decorator last month about the best color for the sofa cojones.... Cant seem to make cojines stick in my old brain!

If it's any consolation Isdora I will never forget seeing dried pasta deep fried in oil on a UK tv show highlighting the unhealthiness of the Argentine diet in the villas (vs a guying eating junk food in the uk)..maybe a small comfort to you when the next soggy watery stuff is presented.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Caesar Salad. Couldn't they just try a to pay a little homage to the real thing with a little Romaine lettuce or anchovy in the dressing? Clearly not. It should be renamed limp lettuce with mayonnaise and grated favorless cheese product. PS I get plenty of...

Sleslie No I absolutely don't believe what you suffered was fair. I probably am the worst business person in history as I have a personal dislike for entrepreneurs who isolate their personal assets as per the myriad of accounting options open for same whilst they screw their employees for their...

I often get tired of seeing posters blame employers for lack of inflation based increases. We're a tech pyme, 10 years in Bsas and Brazil this year an have consistently awarded 20-35% annual increases plus (and in spite of all govt. taxes to high heaven to prevent this) a large performance based...

Baexpats are such a bunch of frauds. All that talk of maple syrup yearning and you get a chance to vote for a pancake house and you pass it by in favour of another version of cow sh*t in a pattie. Shame on you all :angry:

Jeff I wish you and Mrs. Jeff a lifetime of love and happiness . Congratulations to you both but double congratulations to you Jeff for having navigated and sailed home in what sounds like a nightmare dating scene.

Really? How good is your Spanish? I've really found so many comments offensive (as in I'd like to f**k you type) especially when walking my young kids. Our previous office was beside a school (colegio nacional de Bsas) and I was shocked at 60+ year old guys letching and yelling at young girls...

Well since you mention it as I'm here celebrating my3rd year watching the 56 brotherhoods parade their virgins and saint on the backs of the faithful and we still are moved beyond words at the theatre and emotion that is this week but cannot load any image over 1k (which no image accepts as...

I can only add that ive seen so many employees lose parents to cancer, some both that i stopped taking note and sending condolence cards on the anniversary of the death. Our average employee age is now 30 but has for the most part been from 27 to 30. I have a single friend at that age in Europe...

To be fair though, up using the computer after a first night of passion? Can't have been that great a night of pleasure. She should've run a mile...

I normally find your point of view spot on but here we may disagree. You mention she was elderly. Cant you conceive that the world she grew up in has changed so radically beyond her comprehension? I distinctly remember aged 10/11 studing the sufragettes at school and asking my grandmother what...

pitipur for you to say that (the subjunctive is a whole new concept that doesn't really exist in english (with the exception of cases like "if i were you") shows you don't know that you youself may be using subjunctive in English even if the verb form doesn't change or changes slightly. It may...

Just watched Peabody & Shermna in Spanish and thought of your rrr pain watching Robespierre say "Ee Pewwro....

GS has it to a tee. The funny thing is the "pretend " initial romance engages you in the relationship (both parties pretending to be perfect and never doing # 2s) then the teamwork/practicality ties you to the relationship and with the latter working well real romance has room to flourish...
