  1. There's video posted online of dark skinned men hunting/catching, then carrying the dead geese away while walking down a sidewalked street.... Unless it was taken down by the "unbiased 😂" press.... The geese are probably used to being hand fed, making them easier to poach....
  2. I eat 2 meals a day....Breakfast between 830 & 10ish....Then no later than 2pm.....Over the last 2 years I have gone from 117k (194cm) to my target of 90k.....It took about 4-6 months to start seeing results..... Breakfast is usually a good sized meal.... Sometimes I am not hungry in the afternoon so forgo that meal..... There's really no hunger pangs & I eat what I want.... My wife does a good job of creating a healthy, balanced diet plan.... Initially, there were some hunger pangs, but my body adjusted to the new routine.... Once upon a time I tried fasting on Sundays, but found that wasn't really doing anything for me .... Years of sports wear and tear on my knees helped prompt the weight loss campaign.... Note: I occasionally will have an evening snack if conjured up by a daughter, but not often.... If any snacking is to be had, it's before the 2pm "break"..... While I was never fat, I am quicker & more agile.....The walking gait/motion seems smoother....
  3. We have a combo gym/wardrobe/library room with a big screen (that we never use) & a convertible sofa....We use this for our quiet space.... Smokey's room.....
  4. I'm a baseball fan....It makes no difference to me if the sideline reporter asking a few questions is male or female.... However, I've yet to hear a female play by play broadcaster that I can stand to listen to for more the a few minutes.....It completely turns off the game for me.....
  5. "America" works fine for me..... "United States" can be puzzling for most of them.... Surprisingly, "California" gets a nod from most....
  6. None of the above & no other drama either.....
  7. Are ballots available?
  8. I usually wake up & out walking the dog 630/645-ish..... Breakfast sometime between 900/1030......The 2nd & last meal by 1400..... Usually in bed by 2100/2145 & roll over to sleep about 2300.....
  9. Find Check Point products....I got mine at Worowat Market in CM.... It's put up with years of international travel....Many sizes & styles to choose from.....I believe mine is 35L....It might be a 40 & I use as a carry on.....Very durable & useful features ....
  10. Toyota Sport Rider w/3.0 diesel.... Available in 2 or 4 wheel drive....Solid.... They run forever & would be in the op's budget..... FB Marketplace..... Definitely get a pre-inspection.....
  11. Here's the latest mapped flood areas....If you follow 108 down southward, it looks better, and better towards Baan Tawai.....
  12. I just drove 108 Hang Dong Rd from San PaTong to Big C in Hang Dong area....No standing water or mud/silt build up....But that's about 3-4k away from Baan Tawai.... Every canal was running freely is the best I can inform.....
  13. When they come back rejected is any indicator supplied (reason for rejection) ? I do not see anything irregular in the PDF they attach....
  14. Possibly a bite or puncture that's turning into an abscess.... Time to take it to the vet....Some have to be drained & treated from the inside out....
  15. I've found good colored t-shirts from Lazada.....100% cotton & they have worn well + accurate sizing.....
  16. pgrahmm replied to poppysdad's topic in General Topics
    Great for trekking, long term driving, camping, on the golf course.... Or traveling cross country, like the settlers did 150 years ago... It's not made to be a stew like substance.... It'll keep you going all day if you snack on it.... If you ever go to Texas, go to a Buc'ees they are famous for it & must have about 50 varieties & flavors....
  17. Don't care for it.... My daughters & wife do..... I've tasted some of the side dishes, soft serve, cakes, & drinks and it's better tasting than the raw stuff - but I'd never order it....
  18. pgrahmm replied to chuang's topic in Chiang Mai
    CMU Has a Vet clinic, that might be one possibility..... There's a 24 hour Pet Hospital in Hang Dong just off the 108 that is well equipped..... I'm not sure of that final step though..... Almost all vets will sell meds/pharmacy at the counter.....You might think about administering the shot yourself of their beliefs/practices stop them from euthanizing....
  19. The largest I've seen was a blackish colored hooded snake that was slithering across the road....I evidently came too close & it turned it's head & flashed it's hood towards me.... A more intimidating happenstance was a water monitor that crossed in front of me on a rural road....It raised it's head to sniff & the head came up to the headlight height on my Pajero....It was a big one.....The next biggest water monitor was about 4-5ft & dashed across the street & under a house while I was on a bicycle ride... Don't like'm..
  20. No, we're together pretty much 24/7... She's a stay at home type person....She'll chat with the neighbors (female) but doesn't really socialize much....She used to keep in touch with a group of 12 study buddy gals from her university, but it seems they've all wandered on their separate ways....They were all successful..... Our Thai family members seem to be a small, close knit group.....No big gatherings.... No real social media presence or persona....
  21. Brie cheese with assorted crackers.... For me, good sliced Italian or peppered salami, sliced Monterey Jack on thinly sliced sourdough bread - maybe with a dash of mayo = works with/cures almost anything.....
  22. At 76 - realistically probably not ... I played American tackle football into my 40's & another tourney sport that required quick reflexes, strength, & occasionally, hard contact until 71 y/o..... I have bounced in night clubs on occasion & tossed people out by their shirt collar and belt.... I'm good sized, so I wasn't challenged very much.... Now, my reaction would have to be situationally based knowing that I'd probably have one opportunity & likely consequences.... In the PI a trio of men tried to triangle me & I walked my way out of it avoiding any contact.... I don't mingle or hang around with the at risk crowd, but am (try to be) constantly watchful when out and about to protect and mine..... But, I'm still 76 - not a young lion anymore.....
  23. Highly unlikely to occur..... Speaking for me, my Filipina X's are in different countries & the Thai X's are at least 25k away from me (if here), or in the US = where I first hooked up with Thai woman.... I have had some x-massueses Wai me in passing while in shopping plazas & my wife didn't really react....
  24. All radial tires are susceptible to sidewall damage....The strength is in the tread....The sidewalls job is to flex & cool + keep the tread tracking true & on the ground.... The old bias ply tires were sidewall strong, but allowed the tread to roll sideways under certain adverse handling conditions....
