    I won't be able to make a Western Union transfer of my January Social Security income until the third, so I won't be able to buy "super" before the price goes up. I expect the gas station to run out of super before Friday, anyway, and there will be unbearably long lines until they do. On a...

    The quest to find a 220V "Crock-Pot" at a reasonable price in Argentina finally ends!

    For the first time in 17 years I found a "crock pot" which operates on 220V current and is the same basic design as the Rival brand, but is offered at much lower cost...and does not require the use of a transformer. As of this morning, this one is the lowest price ($18,429)...

    Is Western Union asking non-residents for a CDI now?

    I think it's a good idea to start a new thread about this as some members might miss posts about this in the super long "Western Union money transfer" thread and, as a result, not be able to pick up funds at a WU agency if they don't have a DNI and a CUIL/CUIT. This was posted yesterday: It...

    During the first few months of the "pandemic" (and especially after DJT announced Operation Warp Speed), I began to wonder why it would be so urgent to receive a vaccination against a corona virus that, even in my age bracket, has a 96% survival rate for those who actually contract the illness...

    Happy Valentine´s Day...well, sort of...

    Since today is Valentine´s Day in the USA, I thought I´d share the only song I've ever heard about this bogus holiday. I first heard it a few weeks ago when I woke up about 2 AM and the power was out (a rare event where I live in Buenos Aires). As I always do, I turned on my portable radio to...
