  1. Apologies. As an American I read on social media posts that if I do not agree with the initiation of attack by the USA, at this time, I support the Iranian regime. Just noting that there are those, the world over, that are capable of only a world of ... yes/no, right/wrong ...
  2. At least not officially is the answer to your ending inquiry. We still find "suspects" not having fingerprints on file. Mine might show up but only as a result of government employment long ago.
  3. Funny, I just read these names referred to in the Epstein Files on the DOJ website.
  4. How does food get to your supplier (seeds, fertilizer if you are laboring to grow your own)? I sure enjoy electric ... not fuel related?
  5. What is the term used by Putin? “Special military operation”? Or some such.
  6. Thank you. Trump did get elected by those justified in their frustration/anger at the status quo of the working middle class economic squeeze brought on by both mayor American political parties over a half century in the making. The choice was very unwise but can be understood as an emotional view of continuing the status quo (Democrats) or support for trump who was giving voice to the frustration (his documented history showed he was not a person to address the very real issues). His election, while running as a Republican was also a rejection of the traditional Republican Party. Sadly, as the issues have not been addressed, IMHO the madness will continue. This Americans apology to all who had wished/hoped for a USA at least giving some lip service to higher ideals.
  7. Still sees himself as "the boss" on The Apprentice deciding hiring or firing. A legend ... in his own mind.
  8. Various possibilities of how ... or why. My first thought was to remember how stamps from some countries get you banned from entering an offended country. May or may not, of course, explain this missing page. Torn out to avoid problems entering some countries?
  9. Strange, indeed. Better than any other protection ... Thai Wife ... pity those on the receiving end of perceived injustice!
  10. Agreed. But, but ... "it is a failing system"! well, yea, that was the stated purpose of the USA sanctions, etc.
  11. "“WE will decide the fate of our Country – NOT some out-of-control, Radical Left AI company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about,” he added." This from the same people who just shot down their own $30 million dollar drone ...
  12. Just advising care for all concerning using emailed statement. Current experience. I screwed up timing asking for a 12 month statement from Bangkok Bank - Bangkok. Needed for Income Method Visa Extension of Stay-Marriage. Girl told me I could have statement e-mailed in 2-3 days but I would need to print it out. Great! Received it in 2 days, I went to the bank for the confirming letter and was told ... nope, cannot use, has to be mailed back to them from Bangkok. ??? Long story-short the agency I use got it cleared but I still need to bring the mailed listing when it comes in. ah ... Thailand. Going on 15 years so, jai yen yen is part of my nature.
  13. Hedging my bet that Marriage would be the last to require possible health insurance which I cannot get (pre-existing/age/cost). Moved from retirement to marriage in-country when it looked like I was in a position to have to leave, re-enter and apply for new Visa.
  14. Just renewed my annual Extension of Stay for the 15th year. Now, Reason for Marriage of a Thai National. I still use the 65K monthly income as that is consistent with my sustainable monthly retirement income and is what we spent (family of 3). Slowly building up to 400K in the bank for Wife's security but I have resisted using the deposit here as my funds are invested and certainly earning much more than the 1% Thai bank interest rate.
