Just when things were sailing smoothly, my twelve-year-old gets diagnosed with psoriasis this morning. He has it on his scalp, with a few spots on his arms, neck, and chest. It could definitely be worse as he only has it in these areas. Now I am at work, pecking away online with my phone to get...

Nice, thank you! I bet I get some interesting answers! I know once a kid asked my son if it was true we always ate at McDonalds. Hah, he wishes!

Awesome, thanks Gadget! I may have to ask you a few more things before this is finished. I am going to bake something that we would typically eat (such as peanut butter cookies...I had to ask the teacher if any kids had nut allergies! At our U.S. school, we parents weren't allowed to take any...

...any ideas or tips on things I can add? I am going to my son's classroom to give a little talk about our home country (and to help bridge a gap that my son is feeling with his Argentine classmates). I have some ideas (maybe a few of our holidays that we don't have in Argentina, the fact that...

When I first saw this, I was getting all fired up until I realized it was a joke. Good one! :D

Yes, I witnessed this myself for the first time 2 years ago at the Retiro station. A man threw garbage in a hallway when there was a garbage can right there. Just makes no sense to me.

I know I am beating a dead horse here, but I get so frustrated at the amount of trash on the streets and sidewalks. I know a lot of this is has to do with the cardboard collectors, but a more than fair amount is just trash thrown by pedestrians. On Friday I saw the driver of a waiting ambulance...

Any recommendations for an OTC, non-drowsy allergy med that also doesn't make me feel like I am tripping out? I am allergic to who-knows-what. If I have another week of sneezing, coughing, and my eyes looking like I have reefer madness, I am going to scream. I had allegies on previous visits...

A waffle iron? Count me in!

Yesterday morning I had walked my son to school and was roasty-toasty when I returned. That is when I thought it'd be great to turn on the AC. I dressed lighter for work than usual and was suffering a bit coming home in the evening...but not too bad!

Thanks so much for this post and all the replies! We were wondering as well for our move back.

Anyone else wanna turn on the AC this morning?? :D I tell ya, I am tempted!!

Hey, hey! My 12-year-old son is into jazz at the moment and really wants to go out and hear some. ANY idea on where I could take him? The only places I have heard about are bars or clubs for adults.

Vicente Lopez!

I am just plain old 'Esteffy' now. In real life? 'Stephanie', so not too different. I actually think I prefer 'Esteffy' to 'Steph', the usual.

Ah cool! My son is always bothering me to make chocolate chip coookies and is so sick of peanut butter ones!

I think the tortilla chips here are a bit nasty and taste like oil paint. I forget which brand I use(d), it's a red foil bag with a powdered sour cream packet inside. Anyways, if you see this brand, proceed with caution! I shop at Carrefour, WalMart and sometimes a Disco near work, and this is...

I really have nothing to say except this post cracked me up! My fiancee is a student, and she visits a medical forum daily. The 'jejejejejejej' has caught my attention as well.

Naturally! :D

I think I am under the 'hideously dressed' catagory! Apparently! Yesterday, this girl on the bus (who was extremely dressed down, so idk WHAT the issue was with my Sketchers) kept staring at me. First, my shoes. Then my face. Then my shoes again. Finally, I looked at her square in the face and...
