  1. I'm not even sure they use mirrors...they just seem to ride/drive eyes forward like OK the wheels are headed that way - let's go ...... never mind the fact they just pulled in front of a 2 ton SUV that was going at a constant faster rate of speed.....a couple of days ago one car in the designated out of traffic lane right turn lane at the light - another car next to it in the straight forward lane....the light turns and the car in the far right turn lane goes straight and the car in the sraight lane turns left......my wife just laughs at Thai drivers (and she's Thai)....

    Now it's rainy season and their tooling along on their bikes - sometimes with kids front and back - holding up their umbrella with one hand to their ear talking on the phone - while I'm saying to myself - don't drop that phone - don't drop that phone.....

    Boggles.....

  2. Guess I'm lucky - always stored in zip locks or rubber maid + in the fridge - and ANYTHING out aged = gone and all exp dates are watched before purchase and consumption.....rice seems pretty ?indestructable?....have seen it drying in the PI on the roads wth exhaust fumes...the wife has been great at adapting to the proper refrigeration and aging pretty well - our rice cooker is too big for two but always churns out a full pot - not sure if it goes in us or binned (no dogs)....I don't eat chicken - when she gets it and cooks she puts it in the unused oven to store during the day - seems OK to/for her - if I find it later in the day I stick in the fridge <> anything I am unsure about if out goes in the fridge - probably a good teaching tool (without a word)....If we walk around the local markets that are stifling and I look at the food that has been sitting there in the heat and fumes all day as well as pawed by how many unwashed hands and wonder how people can eat it and survive - but they do - for how long I don't know....she buys in season veggies and fruits sometimes if we happen to go and are looking for something (usually dry goods that I wouldn't have thought existed there - like for crocheting or painting)......

    Tried the meat from the huge daily market in CM once........big mistake - good price but big mistake (the one next to the US consolate)

    We mostly buy from Makro for cooking veggies and fruits & Rimping for meats...I feel better thinking they've been handled better (think so - less reaction).....I think astute shopping is also important......

    Thai's are funny - but once the logic of whatever situation sets in it's etched in stone.....we constantly amaze/surprise each other - and that's a good thing......

  3. I heard Gatorade or something the same in the morning help replenish what the alcohol removes......regardless - alcohol is still a shock to your system/systems whether you "feel" it or not.....

    Avoid energy drinks - they seem to be funding a lot of heart Doctors quite well.....

  4. It depends on what you & her wish to see as a future together......compatibility is a rare commodity and if coupled with someone that just wants the best for you for the good of the relationship while planning the future you have struck gold.....

    The commnication now is critical as to what is really happening between you.....and what you share as wanting both as individuals and together.....it sounds like she is someone who applied herself to doing the right things in life and avoided the obvious lazy way/shortcuts to make a living.....

    If you click on all those points the future looks rosy......

  5. Prejudice/ignorance/anger/cursing all in one package - great management material ////// face lost by mention of the other Amazon but the person you ran into was purposely being a turd......

    You voted with your $$$$ and ability to walk out - good job......

    Despite the backstabbing words you did the right thing......you're spending "Thai" money - that's usually all the "Thai" ID most Thai vendors need.....

    Let us know the location so TVF can boycott.....

    Contact Amazon head office might be an option too......ask about the policy and give the location.....
