I think the word we’re looking for is “pugnacious.” That and “pernicious.” (Why, yes, I was an English/education major at university 😛) All jokes aside, I sadly but truthfully agree with JeffR’s observation. Not a good look 😣

I think you're right. We have the lowest plan possible for OSDE that is bleeding our finances dry, considering the additional co-payments I have for pediatricians, etc. Unfortunately, I really don't have a choice - Both of my children have autism, so at least OSDE covers the cost of my oldest...

Ha, I win! And by win, I mean lose! We are a family of 2 adults in our early 40s, 2 children, paying $538,000 for OSDE 210. 😭

I wholeheartedly agree! Our housekeeper has been coming once a week for years; she's reliable, honest, and just a lovely person in general, though she is older. She does what I genuinely don't have time to do, which makes our homelife easier. We pay her about $7200/hr for the 4 hours she comes...

When I occasionally return to the US for visits, I, too, am far more aware of the wasteful and consumerist nature. Additionally, it seems to me that people from the United States have an astonishingly low tolerance for any minor inconvenience - when waiting too long in line at a supermarket, if...

Hi, I personally know of an experienced guitar teacher who speaks English quite well (he happens to be an English student of mine). Please DM me if you would like ☺️

In addition to the fact that I do not agree with Milei's decision, I am incredulous - Doesn't he have at least a few other greater issues at hand that direly need his attention right now? :rolleyes:

Hi! Do you mind sharing the BsAs website that you found with the personal trainers? Thank you in advance! :)

Very sobering, indeed. As someone who has battled mood disorders and mental illness for decades, it's heartbreaking - the whole damn situation. Some facets of this whole quilombo were inevitable, I suppose, such as the Covid pandemic, but others - namely the lack of accessibility to adequate...

All of the above. In August 2023 my family pediatrician was already charging $10,000 pesos apart from our OSDE 210 insurance 😳

Last evening, I tried to use MoneyGram to send U$130 to my husband's Santander account again (1 week after the failed attempt). It was rejected and canceled in an hour 😐

Interesting that you mentioned this. At the end of July, I transferred approximately $300,000 pesos to my Supervielle account and about $200,000 to m y husband Santander accountant On MoneyGram. When I needed to transfer again about a week ago (the equivalent of U$110 and $150 respectively)...

Before going to the US a few months ago, I casually mentioned my trip to my dentist, who then asked me ("sin compromiso" ;)) if I could bring her back a special headset for magnifying purposes, as she needed it for work and simply could not get it. How was I going to say no to the woman who puts...

Sure, I downloaded the “TextMe” app on my iPhone (though I am not sure it is available on Android… it most likely is). It works with incoming and outgoing calls, and I suppose text messages as well (given the name), though I have not had to test that feature out. I also added the new number to...

One factor that wound up working in my favor was getting a subscription for a US phone number associated with my Argentine smartphone. I’ve seen monthly and annual plans for very little, but they can be well worth the investment. My only advice is NOT to get the mobile number through Skype. I...

Hey, RP! I totally agree! At this point, I would honestly consider it fine and dandy if I sold it for even half that price. (Can't blame a gal for trying! ;) )

I am selling a Lenovo ThinkBook. It is in EXCELLENT condition, but I am selling it because I just can’t get used to the Spanish keyboard (I bought it new from Mercado Libre before I knew I would travel back to the United States, but I needed a computer at the time). More specs about the laptop...

I've found that (although it's labeled as a cream cheese) CasanCrem *light* has the consistency of sour cream. It's not expensive, perhaps give it a shot? :)

I, too, highly recommend Gabriel Celano. I found out about him nearly 14 years ago from an English-speaking next door neighbor. As they say, "Good whiskey needs no signboard." Despite having a Facebook page, IG, and webpage, the firm doesn't advertise because just word-of-mouth recommendations...

It's a delicate situation to say the least. On one hand, it's understandable why so many Russians are fleeing and choosing Argentina to settle down and/or give birth. But while it's definitely not a crime to be pregnant (as stated in the protest sign in the photo below from La Nación), with too...
