    Good quality pillows

    I have tried several brands of pillows, even the expensive ones of Calm, and I can't still sleep well. I have bought also the memory foam one from La Espumeria but they are too high, the Calm memory ones are a tad thinner but still too firm. The Calm soft one lost its plushiness quickly...

    Real Estate firms to buy properties in Palermo

    In the past, there used to be small real estate firms that specialized in nice properties, catered toward expats or at least not listing the usual anonymous modern monoambiente or ugly apartments from the '60s. The websites I had bookmarked five years ago are down and ZonaProp/ArgenProp do not...

    Face Laser Treatment - seeking recommendation

    I am ready to get rid of a few scars on my face and I think a CO2 laser is the best option. I am seeking recommendations for a Plastic surgeon or Aesthetic medicine center in CABA (I am in Soho, but I have a car). I have seen tons of ads of beauty surgeons in Las Cañitas, but I could really do...

    Online notarization with no US phone number

    I need to notarize and then apostille a document (an affidavit). During the pandemic, many US states have adopted RON (Remote Online Notarization), which is different from the 'old school' online notarization. However, RON requires to have a US mobile number from a major carrier in your name...

    How is it that so many Argentinians can move to the US?

    La Nación reminds us weekly about Argentinian families and companies who took the plunge and moved abroad. But what really surprises me is the amount of Argentinians who are seamlessly moving from Argentina to the US. Perhaps a small percentage is a dual national, but how do the others do? What...

    Let's Talk About M...

    I have been following the whole Maldonado drama since its beginning. My source of information is La Nación, which is overtly anti-K but interviewed both sides of the story. 1) I do not understand why Maldonado-Mapuche and kirchnerismo fall under the same flag. The land they are claiming have...

    Underfloor Heating

    It appears winters are getting colder in Buenos Aires and homes were not built with the proper insulation and/or heating systems. I am curious about underfloor heating systems and wonder if they are a popular choice. Any of you has it? I gather that there are two types of systems: those with...

    Dishwasher Rack Replacement

    My Bosch dishwasher (brought over when I moved) racks are rusted and are bursting. Bosch does not sell dishwashers in Argentina, but I suppose racks are similar to other brands. I can't seem to find them on Mercadolibre - maybe I am looking for the wrong thing? I am searching using rejillas...

    I am looking for an Apple TV or other thingy that will make smart my TV. I am not looking for the latest model, just a working one to be able to watch Netflix. Since there are many expats traveling from/to outside and upgrading their electronics, maybe someone of you is looking to sell...

    I have been a client with Schwab for 3+ years. When I initially opened the account, they said my address is not recognized as a residential address (it is not, I am using SBI mailbox service, which is a physical address, albeit not residential), but at the time I was in the US and I walked in a...

    Hit By The Storm

    Tonight a violent storm hit San Isidro, eradicating the tree in front of our place. It was a green screen that gave us privacy against our neighbors, and a source of entertainment to the cats living in the building. Luckily, nobody and nothing was harmed, but we have to live with curtains on and...

    Watching Us Shows From Here

    I am trying to figure out how I can watch US shows from here: Netflix - No longer offers IP masking HULU - In theory just for US customers, but you can mask your IP and use it Chrome Cast - ??? Amazon Prime - ??? AETV - you can mask IP and watch, but it is full of ads (every 10' or so) I'd...

    Our cat poo-ed on the iPad cover. It stinks! The cover top is made out of carbon fiber, but it is covered with a layer of tissue, that has impregnated with poo. I have tried bleach, alcohol, white vinegar.... but the smell is still there. Do you think there is something like dry-cleaning for...
