Ha! Great post!

The US has been a "flawed democracy" for decades. I first realized this while serving with the US army in Vietnam over 50 years ago. A subsequent half century of reading serious, scholarly histories and studies of the US have only solidified this fact for me. An excellent case in point is...

Banco Frances, Galicia, Santander Rio have permitted AR$3000.00 withdrawals since the increase in Banelco charges last December.

MAGA - Morons Are Governing America.

Chris, MikeW closed up shop a while back, I believe about a year ago. I received an email from MikeW about the termination of business. It seems that streaming here became popular so fast, he had no other alternative.

Right on, Gracielle. And it's not only California, of course. Even Alabama, a bastion of Trumpism, cannot deny their dependence on immigrants, primarily due to their agro-based economy. Statewide, the agro communities are aghast at the idea of losing these workers, for they admit that...

Faux News is available on Cablevision. Not sure if it's available on DirectTV, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't, although a friend of mine who has DirectTV is unable to watch Fox cable network shows (movies, series, etc.), for some mysterious reason.

Anyone riding on any US carrier in economy class, whether domestic or international, undergoes excruciating mental and physical abuse from the beginning to the end of the flight.

Ries, in the US "thug" still applies to anyone of any race that fits the definition of the word.

Exactly! He could give a crap about anyone or anything except himself. Everything he says and does is only for his own self-enrichment and/or self-aggrandizement. He could care less about his country and its people. A true narcissitic megalomaniac, which are defining signs of psychopathy.

AMEN!!!

I said to hell with going through the hassle of a 6 April departure from EZE, so I changed my flight to the day before. I'm fortunate that I could change because my ticket is mileage award travel, thus no change fee, etc.

I'm fully aware that the carrier in the article is AR. I was pointing out only that AA is American Airlines. My last sentence was an obvious failed attempt of humor at AA's expense. My post was not directed at you personally.

The two letter airline code for Aerolineas Argentinas is AR. AA is American Airlines. The latter carrier is bad enough without having a little EZE scandal linked to it! :-)

Actually, most of the above British products, meaning those that are commercially packaged and not prepared at home, are available in many large US cities, most often at supermarkets and specialty stores that carry imported food items. Over the years, I've seen the majority of these items in...

The Met broadcasts here are sponsored by Fundacion Beethoven and they set the prices. Once inflation really took off a couple of years ago, the prices increased substantially every year, and continue to do so. I'm not in the least surprised that tickets are US$35.00 each. Still, as Nancy and...

Waxed napkins and wax paper are two entirely different entities. Wax paper is neither manufactured nor used as a napkin. One would be wasting their time trying to use wax paper as a napkin, for said product is made to resist absorption, as much as possible, of liquid or wettish items.

You know, that might be a good idea. I'm sure it would leave customs bemused, wondering why some old Yankee would do something so utterly strange, thus raising suspicion... Perhaps I'll try it next trip. Thanks for the suggestion.

Papel manteca is more like waxed butcher block paper, far too thick and cumbersome for daily kitchen/cooking use, not to mention rather expensive for the overall skimpy amount that is made/packaged here. There's nothing in the world like good old-fashioned Cut-Rite wax paper for everyday use in...

This will make me look out of touch or not up to date, but I have only a small flip cellphone. No iPad or smartphone, etc. When travelling to the US, I carry my local flip cellphone plus a another small flip cellphone that I use while in the US. As I posted previously, I never bring back any...
