Varilux mutifocal lenses cost exactly the same here as in the States. Around U$S 200, and worth every penny

Grabbed the bait = "pisar el palito" in Argentina. Means stepping on the stick that springs a trap for dumb birds. Very appropriate, I should think.

Agree with your choices, Violet. But answering such posts as 76's is like trying to talk with a bumper sticker. No reasoning behind them, just slogans.

I, for one, don't mind your original post's spacing. Great reasoning, and great reading. Keep your very interesting posts coming, spaced or not...!

Chicken wings? Not for me - very fatty, which means high pesticide concentration. Pests have a fatty skin, so pesticides are designed to dissolve in fat. The higher on the food chain, the more concentrated pesticides become. Same problem with liver - a very fatty organ.

Prices in the "interior" are higher than in Montevideo. I regularly order from Tienda Inglesa or Devoto - better stuff, and slightly lower prices. Delivered by bus package service to the local bus station. In Rosario, Colonia, grocery prices at the local, second-rate TaTa chain are twice what...

Quite agree. The current situation is alarming for those paid in dollars. The one bright spot is for the lucky souls who invested in the USA stock market, which took off like a rocket last year. But,,,,,,, it could still fizzle. Myself, I fear the Biblical seven years of fat cows are over...

Why waste time responding to ksm76's rants? Those pathetic souls need to deal with their demons on their own - let's pray that some day they find their peace. Sad to live in such a terrifying, hostile world.

Pretty soon we'll have to go around with our ID tattooed on the forehead.

Thanks - was able to read it. Riveting story.

Lovely place but fiendishly expensive, too. A friend ended up at place in Villa Ballester. An older building, beautifully maintained, with great service, and a beautiful park. But even out there in the boondocks. a single room with private bathroom was over three thousand dollars per month.

I looked at one of those facilities in Nuñez. Efficiency apartments started at US 6000 per month. PLUS additional fees for doctors, medication supervision, and diapers if needed. The whole thing came to almost eight thousand dollars.

I don't have access to the full article, which sounds very enlightening. Could you provide a link?

Thanks for the replies. Seems to me that ICE agents are anonymous, unidentifiable, and therefore free to act with impunity. They should be required to wear body cameras, like policemen do.

Going back to Minnesota, does anyone know why ICE people wear masks? Or how they are recruited/trained, if indeed they are trained at all?
