I'm asking for a friend... ;) Due to the pandemic, there is--apparently--a law that you're not allowed to fire anyone anymore in Arg, at least for all practical purposes. (Is my understanding correct?) To the lawyers and friends here: any news or gossip on if/when they may wind this back and...

Hey all, I haven't posted in a while and I know y'all have missed my literary ramblings :) I haven't posted "Because Life" to use a 2020 grammatical construction. I have a quick question for y'all, and my apologies if the answer is in a thread somewhere that I've missed (feel free to point me...

Hi everyone! We're a young couple with three children, ages 6, 4, and a 3 months. We're half Argentine and half American. We're a nerdy family, the sort that spends far too much time sitting around doing puzzles and playing board games together. We're looking for a nanny that is a native...

Hey all :) I want to install a little network on a wifi connection -- network backup storage, and a few other bells and whistles -- and I'm wondering if anyone knows an expert in these issues who does this professionally on a freelance basis, in BA. This is a bit more complex than just simple...

....Or know of any professionals who specialize in that process? (In short: little online documentation, weird requirements like an affidavit of financial solvency, no instructions on how to pay for it etc... argh!) Thank you!!! morgan

So! Our beloved Nanny of many years needs to return to the USA for family reasons. We are seeking a replacement - and you have a high bar to live up to! We’re a loving, traditional-ish, American-Argie young family, the cheesy sort who sit around and put on plays (just for ourselves) of our...

Hey everyone! I think it would be fun (and very modern!) to be able to make fun videos. But I have no idea how to go about it, and I'm too busy to delve in to lots of Internet research to figure out the methods, tools, and best practices. My goal is purely for fun - like making little meme...

...a beer bar. There just aren't enough. Breaking news: the closest beer bar to my house was two blocks away; but one just opened today - just now - on my corner, so now, the closest one is a half-block away. And I don't even live in Palermo, but a super-uncool neighborhood right near the...

...or is it in my imagination?

So, our Scientologist friend MusicMan recently wrote on another thread in which he was trying to convince people to pay him A$88k for an Ayahuasca experience: "I've discovered my true vocation as a millionaire philanthropist." I want to do a deep-dive into that phrase and what it means, to...

A question only for those of you who were also in BA ten or more years ago -- Is it me or is the subte slightly LESS crowded now, during peak hours, than it was 10-15 years ago? My main rush hour experience is on the D line so, in particular, that is what I'm referencing - but maybe it's a more...

After years in Buenos Aires, I've become disillusioned with every garbage bag I've found. I've been wanting to find just the perfect one for me, and the market here is so competitive, and it's so hard to find just the right one. In fact, as a traditional guy, I've gone out of my way to try to...

Hey y'all Question on behalf of a friend moving to Arg. (This time, actually, someone else - hehe.) To get a standard plan from Movistar (where you get a monthly invoice that you then pay afterwards) -- in other words, NOT pre-paid -- do you need a DNI? Same question, for Claro, too! Thanks...

So, I have a very hypothetical question. This question has no connection to reality. Lets say, hypothetically, you live in Buenos Aires. And you happen to be in Vegas for a few days having a ton of meetings. And you happen to go -- for the first time in your life -- to a sauna. And --...

Subject says it all ;) If so: country on verge of chaos ;)

Hey y'all :) So there seems to be a swarm of mosquitos that has taken over the city - or at least my home :( Is it worse than any year in memory, by far (as I suspect) -- or is my memory getting bad and it's typical? Question: anyone have any creative ideas in how to eliminate them???? The...

Random and unimportant question, everyone! I went to buy a new garbage pail. I found one in ML, for 1400 pesos, and they said it can be picked up at a sucursal a few blocks from my house. So I decided to walk over and see it in person, before buying. I did and in the store, it was listed as...

Hey y'all :) Quick question, basically just the subject of the thread: Anyone know a US Notary & Apostille in BA, other than in the US embassy? :) Thanks! morgan
