  1. Hopefully, it will only take a handful more repetitions of this information to allay "the sky is falling" reactions to the updated TRD policy.
  2. Last year the TRD scheduled a meeting with our son to discuss his compliance with collecting VAT on the sales at his chain of 4 restaurants. The TRD had visited his restaurants on many days and observed the number of customers and from that estimated that he had underpaid the VAT due. He said their estimate was reasonable. He was able to negotiate a significant reduction in the amount they had assessed based on their estimate. TRD was satisfied with the reduced payment. The moral of the story is that TRD is not without the capability to do the work required to identify undeclared taxable revenue and they are open to reaching a compromise.
  3. redundant as other's responded with same advice to @Fortean1
  4. yes... a completely non-partisan country when it comes to driving. They accept all drivers regardless if they're left, right or center.
  5. I think the optimal scheduling of drug consumption is probably determined by the ½ life of the drug in your bloodstream. I found this by searching for "losartan ½ life": Research indicates losartan lasts less than 24 hours at dosages of 25mg a day and 50mg a day. This may cause your blood pressure to rise at night if you take your dose in the morning. Dosages of 100mg per day or more of losartan will last for 24 hours I haven't been monitoring my BP that closely. I will step up the frequency and test as soon as I get up each morning to see which schedule works best.
  6. I know Trump has a relatively decent grip on reality.... you on the other hand....
  7. There you go again.. prodding the bear with a sharp pointed fact.
  8. You've now made obvious the reason you chose your screen name.
  9. I switched from Ramipril 10mg to Losartan 75mg about 2 years ago when Ramipril became temporarily unavailable. I began taking 1.5 X 50mg Losartan each morning. Lately I also take B12 500mg 3 times a day so I thought it may work better if I also also took the Losartan 3 times daily @25mg. I was thinking that there would be less variance in the level of the drug in my system. Which is the better medication schedule for Losartan: 75mg at breakfast or 3 @ 25mg around meal times?
  10. You're OK as long as President doesn't have worse morals and character than a sexpat? At least you are consistent in your nonsense.
  11. so the only way to avoid an accusal of plagiarism is to avoid holding and expressing the same opinion as someone else? I'm beginning to understand AN better these days.
  12. A leader builds a team not a dynasty. A lot of Trump's team got convicted and sent to jail. As for the dynasty part..... his sons are about as suitable as Saddam's sons were.
  13. LOL.... so the Russians volunteered to fight in the war? No.... they stupidly assumed they were saving themselves by sitting by and watching the Nazi horde wreak havoc in Europe. Did that end well for them? Now Trump, Russia's stupidest fan, wants to try the same strategy in Ukraine.... sit by and watch the atrocities. He'll probably use that time to take up the fiddle.
  14. There is at least one Chrome extension that makes FB bearable. FBP will allow you to hide a lot of the annoying stuff FB wants you to see so you can focus on the posts from your friends or groups that you choose to follow. Of course, like AN there are posters with questionable motives and weird interpretations of the world.
  15. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/q/friday-may-8-2020-daniel-brooks-burton-cummings-and-more-1.5559348/american-woman-at-50-burton-cummings-reveals-the-real-story-behind-the-legendary-song-1.5560774#:~:text=But what you may not,behind it were distinctly Canadian. The story behind the song American Woman by the Guess Who.
  16. I got more important things to do Than spend my time growin' old with you I had to do a search to find the lyrics as it is quite an old song (45-55 years). During the search I can across an interview with the co-creator of the song and was surprised by his explanation of the song creation. I'll post a link to that after the dust settles.
  17. I'm sure the OP never considered this reason..... More lefties post because they understand the world and are willing to interact..... while the righties know deep down that they're wrong and don't want to face the avalanche of corrective responses.
  18. My wife and I have had terrible results dealing with FBU Manila. My wife's very simple application for retirement benefits was submitted July 4 '23 to start collecting Oct. '23. After 5 months, Manila finally on Dec. 20 '23 scheduled the required phone call for Jan. 16 '24. My wife's first payment arrived Jun 3, '24..... 8 months past the requested start date, but backpay included. Both my wife and I have several other issues with SSA but when I ask Manila 3 questions about the issues they give an answer to the first question that is hardly relevant and then ignore the other questions. I think FBU Manila is not authorized to do much beyond collecting and verifying the data on applications. But even those simple tasks are not handled efficiently. To me... going through Manila just introduces extra delays. We submitted our applications online, but they ended up being sent to Manila. I hope you have a better experience with them.
  19. Pretty much every post you make further illustrates how little you really understand about the world. Insurance companies provide a service to those who like to reduce the risk that some (hopefully) uncommon event causes a loss greater than they can bear. Those customers would rather pay a moderately inflated cost spread out over the long term than face a large and sudden loss. The insurance issuer now assumes the risk and is entitled to an increased profit when faced with the potential for increased loss during pandemics and extreme weather events. The insurance company also needs to have access to a large amount of liquid assets, AKA "reserve fund", in case of a disaster causes many simultaneous claims. Some disasters cause substantial drawdown from the reserve fund. That fund must be replenished and the only source to do so is customer insurance premiums. When the insurance companies experience extended losses the future customers will face higher premiums. During times of few disasters, the insurance company profits can definitely rise and seem usurious.
  20. Oh yea... the media should immediately hire more reporters and set up an investigative journalism section in case some negative review contains exaggeration.
  21. I'm sure they'll attempt to do so but those silly courts and such do still rely upon actual evidence rather than feverish fallacies.
  22. One reason could be more lefties are better equipped both emotionally and perhaps financially to take care of their Thai wife and offspring and are willing to compromise for their betterment.
  23. the only thing well proven by your posts is that you don't know much outside your silo
  24. and you still claim that it's not a lack of enforcement???? You gotta practice keeping your lies consistent.
  25. It looks like Kamala will be more entertained than Donny.
