    Donating to the Salvation Army

    I remember that my dad went regularly to the Salvation Army store in Chicago to buy items he needed for our home. Shortly after moving to Buenos Aires, someone I met at a milonga told me about the Ejercito de Salvacion tienda in Nuevo Pompeya. I was thrilled to know that there were Salvation...

    Western Union money transfer

    My Western Union transfers in January and March 2024 were deposited into my bank account in one day. The April transfer was completed after the weekend. But the most recent one on May 17 didn't get deposited until today, a week later. Well, at least that's what the email from WU stated. I...

    Aysa Water Bill

    The consorcio already has a debt to AySA of over three million pesos. Our June bill is 150k now that subsidies are gone. I give our incompetente administración all the credit for not increasing monthly contribution to pay all the bills. The consorcio hopes the new administration will wave her...

    Troubles With Building Administration

    Thanks, but our consorcio is insolvent. Only a brand new administrator who wants to tackle a big job would give it a try. I had one ready for the job three year ago who lives eight blocks away, but she now has all the consorcios she can handle by herself. That says a lot about the quality of...

    Troubles With Building Administration

    Well, I checked the Zoom call to see if it was being held. It was. All six owners who live in the building were on the call, so I stayed to make it 7. I decided not to speak so I could stay as calm as possible. I didn't understand a word because no one listens and continuously interrupts the...
