    Has anyone tried MercadoLibre International?

    We saw a bedspread that we'd like to order on Mercado Libre but it was marked 'International'. I'm concerned that the product might get hung up in customs or take months to get here. Has anyone ordered anything that was similarly marked?

    Need US phone number

    I have had success with Google Fi. Good clear connections, local US number and, very important, reliably getting sms codes for two step verifications. It used to require activation in the US.

    Allergies Anyone?

    In Florida they believe in putting Hepa-filters on their a.c. to catch the pollen. Shampooing before bed (to get the pollen out) might help. I've only found one thing that works for sure, get to a beach and breathe ocean or river air.

    Time to Move to Rio de Janeiro?

    This year we did our winter escape in Leblon and felt very safe. Each building had a 24 hour security guard that was often in front of their building during the day. The beaches were not patrolled but we had no problems. We also made wonderful excursions to Paraty and Ilha Grande with no...

    We're at the early stages of working on this problem. There seems to be no question that the college never disbursed any money for this payroll item. My wife has asked to speak to the payroll managers superior and I have urged her to consult her personal accountant.

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    A few days ago I stopped at a local gas station just outside CABA for a coffee. $3.85 was charged to my credit card. I mentioned it to a friend who lives in Brooklyn, which is inside New York City. He said that a cup of coffee at his local gas stations is $2. No wonder people here are...

    I've been using Mercado Libre regularly for a long time. Now I'm locked out because, no matter what I do, its facial recognition rejects me. Are there any good alternatives to Mercado Libre?

    Its my understanding that the car rental companies are required to include a token (small amount) of liability insurance. I should have said that I need a liability policy with higher limits.
