Seemingly from one week to the next, I cannot find packets of ready-made spaghetti sauce (ie - Knorr salsa filetto lista). At one point, there were a few, but only the pizza sauce flavor. Now the closest thing that I have found are boxes of puré de tomate (as in, you will have to add your own...

Hi, everyone! I often visit a web page for job opportunities for individuals who have disabilities/disadvantages (physical, psychological, complicated family situations, etc.) that might otherwise impede their likelihood of employment (website is: wearecapable.org). I just saw this post for a...

I strongly agree, particularly with your use of the verb "drown." It's taken me awhile, but I've finally figured out that what defines success and "wealth" is not always financial/material and cannot be quantified, nor should it be. Not to sound too pie-in-the-sky / Pollyannaesque /...

Oh, I didn’t realize that there are cuevas that are open! May I ask around which area(s) you know of? I don’t have any contact information for the cuevas in my barrio of Núñez, so I never bothered to venture out. Thanks in advance!

I wouldn’t be surprised if it is extended again, though perhaps with some additional conditions... For now, like most everyone else, all I can really do is speculate and observe what I have witnessed thus far... A few days ago, when waiting to pay in a supermarket, I overheard two men...

I had recently (successfully) completed a transaction from my US bank account to my Argentine one. I believe that I remember having read that the maximum amount per month per recipient is AR$239,000. I am also quite certain that I had read that a recipient is permitted a maximum of 3...

Thank you, Pensador, for your thoughtful reply. You mentioned some very helpful ideas, which I plan on reading up on soon... but just not today :( Today has been a difficult day of sorts for me to deal with, especially as it seems that a nationwide quarantine is imminent. I plan on viewing the...

Guys - I am growing exponentially concerned regarding the constant update, numbers, and restrictions regarding the current situation in Argentina. I completely understand the need, BUT I am supposed to give birth (via a sched C-section) in about 5-1/2 weeks. I know that excessive worrying is...

One would think that after 10+ years on this forum, I would have learned my lesson that posting here (especially on such a controversial topic) is not conducive to one's mental health, but this thread has been swimming around in my head, and I have to put in my two cents here. Hear me out: I am...

Also keep in mind that Monday, January 20 is a federal holiday in the States (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day), so if your transfer is even further delayed into next week, don’t worry extra.

Over my 11 years here, it has never ceased to bewilder me how poor customer service is. Not long ago, my husband and I were the lone customers in a sofa/furniture store with 3 idle employees. We were more than ready to buy (practically prepared to buy and take home a sofa that very day). No idea...

Hi, all, I am trying to start to gather some ideas regarding how to make a (hopefully) sizeable donation to a local non-profit organization in the next few months. Here's the deal... I am expecting bebé number 2 in a few months. It has been a personally, mentally, physically, and emotionally...

Especially as a mom, this news simply breaks my heart :(

I recently celebrated my "10 year anniversary" with Argentina, and it seems that I will not be leaving anytime soon. My husband is Argentine, and he has always been very close to his extended family here. Although I kinda already knew what I was getting into when we got married, family became...

Thanks for the heads-up, Nikad! I was looking over United's website, but I was unable to find the deal that you mentioned... Would you mind pointing me in the right direction, please? :)

I had this tattoo done about a year and a half ago. If memory serves, it was $2,500 pesos. Just keep in mind that tattoos are permanent, and in the end, you get what you pay for. I wouldn’t necessarily skimp on money for something like a tattoo (just my two cents). Suerte!

I have gotten two tattoos that I am very happy with at Calavera No Chilla Tattoo Studio in Belgrano on Avenida Cabildo: https://www.instagram.com/calaveranochillatattoo/ I believe the name of the tattoo artist who did this particular one pictured below was Pablo, but they all seem to be quite...

I have actually consistently encountered the opposite situation... When Argentines hear my slightly-accented Castellano, they want to talk to me in English (which I stubbornly refuse to do). I used to take offense to it, believing that they thought that my Spanish must be so poor that they...
