I'm thinking...

Even LATEX couldn't improve these girls.

They're just perfect...

The way they are.

 

Never try to fix what ain't broken,

Is the moral, here.

 

Too conservatively dressed.....

OP Congratulations if you have gone 3 weeks without alcohol...

That's a great jump start on a positive life change decision......

Keep up the good progress.....

You know, I have been thinking...

What this forum really is missing is a thorough discussion of the many uses of LATEX.

Will you do it?

Or, shall I?

 

 

I'm guessing it's only limited as far as you can stretch your imagination....

Having lived there for about 10 years, I can honestly say the only thing I miss are the balikbayan boxes. And the local toska vodka. 

A very real assessment by somebody that has real time in there....

I have spent years there & I cannot find one good reason for going back.....

It's a desperate place filled with desperate people.....

Right down to the  groups of urchins that walk in circles hitting your vehicle with their fists at traffic lights. (the traffic lights that haven't had the wiring stripped out of them yet).....

My dog is a Bangkaew.....

When he's no longer sniffing and investigating & just walking straight ahead I know he's had enough.....I say Rusty home and he leads me straight home.....

I walk him about 25 miles a week.....2 or 3 days a week I'll run him about 1/2 mile astride the bicycle at a brisk pace, not a dead run ....At 75 my running days are over, although I loved it ....I have too much knee & hip damage from sports.....

How about temples and caves onlyfans

Ah yes....The Pattaya cavers club?

I did receive a 90 reminder email in July for an upcoming Aug 6 check in.....

My new check in date is now Oct 22, which corresponds with the day they accepted the electronic submission .....

We went to the Indiana Jones movie....

I thought about seeing it in 4D....Then decided I really didn't want to spend 2.5 hours sitting in something akin to a long Disney ride....

IMAX, when done right, can be a nice, wow experience....

At best, the new IJ flik is a parody of better days better left in the past.....

I recently submitted mine....

Then I freaked out.....

I had made a mistake on the last entry date by about 14 days = the handwritten date was faint at the 1st numeral....<Passport switch where they'd stamped & then hand written the prior entry dates>....

However, after 3 days it did come back as accepted....

Sign the car's blue book now, she can add her info later.

You might not want to carry the signed book in the vehicle if you do that....

Being raised in CA, the CHP has always been looked upon as a bunch of walking dildos that really want to be real swinging dicks..... Basically traffic monitors with bad attitudes.... They have a little man complex within the spectrum of the law enforcement culture.....

Thanks. I'm expecting a speedy recovery. I have an excellent surgeon. A friend's husband used this surgeon, and he was back to work in under 2 weeks and he's a pharmacist and on his feet all day.

 

Was your surgery from the front, side or back? Mine is anterior (front) and that's supposed to be the quickest healing. 

Judging by the scar - more of a side incision....

This Dr also practices in Japan & Dubai a couple of weeks per month as well as CM....That was before Covid....But, he's definitely established himself internationally....

Inside the femur is where they will place the piece of titanium and then they will attach a ceramic ball to the top of it to be inserted into the hip joint that will have some sort of strong plastic liner placed into it. I asked "why plastic?" and I was told that this type of plastic won't wear out in my lifetime so I'm happy. It's interesting that yours has never set off an alarm. Hopefully I'll be that lucky but doubt I will be.

 

Did you experience much swelling or pain from the surgery?

I swell more than bruise.....I had almost no pain, but the swelling kept me in for an extra day....

They brought me a walker & I refused it & got crutches (more mobility & leverage choices)....The Dr commented my 3 week check up was what he normally saw during the 3 month follow up check up....

Airports have been no issue....

Me too. Dont they have online banking in the US to enable instant online transfers (We call them 'faster payments' in the UK)from a US bank account to Wise?

My bank wants a secure-a-key or a US phone number as a final check before sending.....By amount It also would take 2 transactions at $45 per....

I bought a secure-a-key but none of our phones or laptop could get it to sync with the bank app....

That's gonna leave a mark....????

UPDATE = SUCCESS !!!

If you follow through the possible options or ways to connect there are a few choices....

Some were involving Wise outsourced (linked) companies to overcome the roadblock of my bank not accepting a log in with a 3rd party tagging along.....

I was not comfortable supplying what I considered private financial information to completely unknown entities....

At the very end of the options there was an choice to manually input my bank routing & my account numbers directly to Wise.....This I did....

Wise then deposited 2 small amounts of under a dollar into my US bank account.....It took until the next business day....

With the two small deposit amounts I logged on to Wise supplying the amounts when prompted to continue my paused transfer from yesterday.....

Within one minute of verification my transfer was completed and deposited into my Bangkok bank account...

Hope this helps anybody else that has, or, will run into this roadblock....

It's at the very end of the choice option list & worked like a charm....

Cheers & wishing you well....

Don't use the card, use the ACH routing number (bank) and account number that the card debits from and it'll go right through.

I'm working on that now....My bank won't open up it's app if a third party is detected, (Wise's shortcut method).....

I'll update on how it's progressing....

I'm pursuing that, however when I get to my US bank app sign in the sign in is rejected due to the Wise app being detected along side of my log on - third party detected & not opening for security purposes.....
