At last check I had just over 140 shirts hanging in my wardrobe....

About half are tee shirts & old playing jerseys to knock around the house in .....

The other half has a few dress shirts but mostly good quality shirts that are good for about any time wear ....

I never wear tee shirts out & about.... Possibly, if I'm driving my daughter to drop her off and I am not leaving the car....

It actually surprised me that I have that many .....

I used to buy designer clothes for work as I wore suits & all the accoutrements that came with them.... It's basically an expensive trap....

Now, it's mostly a good collection of Nike golf shirts & 3/4 length pants for comfort coupled with Reef flip flops....I don't consider any of that "designer".....I do have about 20 shirts I had made here that are nicely original that I sometimes wear....

I do keep a nice suit & some slacks & sport coats along with a tux - they basically waste closet space....

So, basically my answer is no.....That "designer" stuff is for the easily swayed.....

My wife is well stocked on Coach & Michael Kors handbags + a few other mid line brands & perfumes - Levi's, etc. from our travels....

She never asks for anything, so it's a small indulgence that makes her feel good.....

We had one soi cat we were tending to away from our street....She was a joy....She was very sick one day & I had her to the pet hospital within 30 minutes.....She died overnight in the hospital ....The hospital offered to have the cat picked up & buried for 100B, probably just a mass grave..... I'm sure they had other possibilities....

You might want to check with your vet.....

RIP Brownie.....

Other cats are gracing our garden.....

There is a neighbor that has an orchard somewhere close by that allows pet burials for 400B....We know this through a neighbor, we have never spoken with her....

There's 3 possibilities....

Some Wats offer cremation services.....

plenty of camping grounds in Thailand if you bother to look.

I camp here - most national parks.....

However - full hookups for campers/RV - elec, black & gray water septic drains are very, very few.....

We have 2 SUV's.....I had replaced the tires of both with Yokohama Geolanders....

One had had Bridgestone tires - and being Bridgestone they turned hard like a rock & handling + wet weather traction was noticeably bad....I forget what I had on the other car....

The Geolanders were a good tire & handling was ok.....I wore them down on the Toyota & my long time dealer suggested Maxxis tires....At his suggestion, I installed the 700 Bravo A/T.....The tread has a nice bite to it & the handling and ride quality are superb - just a solid feeling ride and much improved over the Yokohama tires....This is my first time with Maxxis and I am impressed....

They are 1.5-2.0 years old and holding up nicely.....I do have them rotated, balanced, and aligned with every 10k service.....

That will be my choice again when the need hits.....

I'd always used Michelin on my cars in the states= the sidewalls degredated before the tread wore down.... Especially when sitting (3 cars - 1 driver).....

I thought you were a wrestler, the million dollar man Ted Dibiase. Name quite fitting for here. 

I had to look him up to see if it was a real person....Looks like we're both the same size + he looks to be an ok guy....

Another one for the list:

 

"Do you emulate 16-year-old girls by constantly seeking attention online through pointing out how you aren't like everyone else?"

And what exactly is your point of contention? 

That a group of people shouldn't participate in a semi-serious, good natured discussion without meeting your solitary guidelines of approval.....

Everybody is having a bit of fun, with friendly banter....

The fact that the only thing you have to add to the thread is to chime in hurling  rocks to disparage the group = says a lot more about you than all of us....

Yeah I did read they could be cleaned but not sure if a short term thing or not. We usually travel distances when we do drive so need it to be reliable. If I were more mechanical and knew what the thing actually did I would probably be more inclined to save a bit of money 

It recirculates some exhaust gases back through the engine to make the gases in the combustion chamber run hotter for a more complete combustion cycle....

If it's this the price is about right....EGR 

Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve....

Click - no intro....

Not until they're finished killing off the crash dummies....

Seems prime for a broadside/t-boned among unexpected  other reactionary conditions.....

If it clunks it's probably the upper strut mounts which take the brunt of the impact yet still have to rotate for turns....You could have worn bushings & struts also given your assessment of the road condition.....

Very proud of their boob job - with nose choice to match.....

Large hands & feet with an Adam's ???????? apple....

Hooker peroxide or streak dyed hair.....

Man spreads when sitting....

Do you support the one term, lying, insurectionist loser?

I keep my views to myself - I do not name call....

I also do not hijack threads for political purposes....

Some stores have resorted to placing items in locked glass cabinets now.

I stopped at an AM/PM in the SF area....All the beer & alcohol was behind locked glass cabinets + another store had a liquor (locked) room....

I asked the clerk & he said cases were getting lifted - walking out the door....The police won't come out....

No shielding or protection at the pay station though.....

95% of the time we home cook....

My wife cooks western and Thai food as well as some Mexican....

Her small but mighty garden usually contributes something....

I cook once in awhile....Today I made 2 cookie sheet sized pizzas....I also make our bread.....

I have a gas wet smoker bbq that I thought I would use a lot....It just sits in our back breezeway waiting for me....

It's been years since I've lived/experienced life there....

There's so many negatives = there's no real reason to ever go back.....
