Dear Folks,

La Papoñita is getting to feel more like home, so we plan to be there every Sunday at 14:00 (2 pm) into the future. Do come and join us, if you haven't been by, and see what you think of the place.

Other items for your consideration include:

1. 2 items on health

One participant is concerned about the coconut oil debate and wrote:

I feel a need to clarify this: you can buy coconut oil almost anywhere: farmácias, drogerias. However, EDIBLE coconut oil is NOT sold in Uruguay, period. I would love someone to prove me wrong. Friends ordered some to be shipped in and it was confiscated by customs, who told them to use rice oil instead!

It has also been suggested that you might devote 5 minutes to this video, which could put you in a position to save the life of someone having a heart attack:

2. One of us really needs a new place to live, an unfurnished rental. What is needed is a 3 (or more) bedroom place, in Montevideo or close by, ideally with a fenced yard for the family dog, and a secure place for the car. And the place would qualify as a dream if it also had a stove, a fridge, and heating. Moving date is any time now, but certainly by August 1, and for a longer term.

3.Last opportunity: Baking Class, now scheduled for Saturday, July 13th, at 14:00 (2 pm). Do let the master baker know you want to come by sending an E-Mail to durandetto (at) aol.com.

5. Bill payment with a MasterCard card: If you are trying to get your bills paid automatically, instead of going to Abitab or RedPagos to pay each bill, you could have them paid with a MasterCard, if you have one. There is a MasterCard office at Plaza Cagancha, on the 8th floor of the tall building next to the Hotel Balmoral, the Torres Towers. Take all your bills with you, and they will set it up for you.

More notices next week--for now, this must suffice.
