    In BA the subway shows up every three minutes

    Yes this is the section of line that I was referring to, I might just take the ride to eat in one of the cafes. They have been busy the both times that I have taken this route.

    In BA the subway shows up every three minutes

    As someone who knows the "T" quite well and just moved here from Cambridge I have found the subway/commuter rail/bus systems here to be FANTASTIC. I do not know the policies/subsidies behind the fare structure but every time that I have used it, it has been on time. I took the commuter rail to...

    Good news for retirees living on Social Security payments...

    There are those in the GOP that are intent on using a refusal to increase the debt ceiling unless there are changes to these programs. And of course the Orange haired one has been known to say he wants to cut payroll taxes and he still has elected followers. I do not know if how severe but...

    New Dentist

    Yes that is too inexpensive and like the movie "Lost in Translation" I am sure that I have not received the proper info. I did have a cracked tooth and they were going to do another molar but then they said that the nerve was too far down? I just ended up having the one done and the total cost...

    Lets hope that there is no turmoil after the mid term elections! There is BS talk of trying to get rid of the "Entitlement Programs".

    Hello Lanick, my apologies for the late response. The price that I have been quoted is 17500 for a molar cap. I had more extensive work done so I would recommend that you call them to get a more accurate quote. They will want to obviously have an appointment and you will be able to judge whether...

    Going rate for Spanish one on one?

    I looked into taking Spanish classes and at the VOS Academy...(they are not accredited so student visa would not apply)...they wanted to charge $125.00 USD/week. That was one month ago. I forgot to mention that this would be for two hours per day. Their classes are group sessions for 4 hours...

    Western Union money transfer

    The store that I mentioned does give me the Blue Dollar rate which is why I do go to that store. I have stopped in one store on Florida/Lavalle? and they were only offering the Official rate. Which is why I was asking about who owns / operates those stores(the one that gives the blue rate)...

    Western Union money transfer

    The stores I am referring to have the neon signs that have Euro/Real/USD on them. I have not gone to street vendors rooms so I do not if they would direct me there. I do not believe this is where they would send me. There is one on Santa Fe and 9 Julio that I go to if I do not use Western...

    Western Union money transfer

    Being a newbie to this process. I am surprised that the government does not crack down on the "Cambios" on the street and force people to go to the various other stores that are brick and mortar. Are these stores independent? I have not used the street vendors and use these stores. Hopefully...

    New Dentist

    And to provide an update. Finished my second appointment, where they put in posts and shaved the first Molar. All went well, the tooth was dead and there was no need for Novocaine. They covered this molar and I will go for the second root canal on the molar behind it. This is my first time ever...

    Resource for finding Temporary Apartments

    I am in Centro, I am not knowledgeable about the various Barrios so speaking with Florencia would be your best bet at finding the area that you would want to be in.

    Resource for finding Temporary Apartments

    If you use a credit card/pay pal there is a 9% charge. You will have to request this type of information from Florencia to get exact quote for you. I got a 3 month rental but certainly can be shorter or longer if that is what you are looking for. I got a very large studio with a double bed...

    Resource for finding Temporary Apartments

    To those looking for an agent I found one that was very helpful and found me what I was looking for. Her name is Florencia and she is with 4 Rent Argentina. Her number is 54-9-11-6703-8900. Give her a try and maybe this will work for you.

    Sounds like you have a winner there. I hope that my choice turns out just as good. They offer a 10% discount for paying cash as well. I am having two root canals and one porcelain crown. Still in the process of getting it all completed. I go for my second visit Friday 29/7
