The best way would be to use the cabinet fitters technique of contouring the back of a wood strip to the wall, while @Crossys idea of using a piece of hardwood is partly correct, used in his suggested way it will no longer be straight if you are putting screws through it, into air, then into the wall. That will almost always either immediately or over time cause the wood to bend, you may have success if the wood is about 200mm+ square but even then a bend is possible, for the vast majority of uses the bend would be insignificant but for @OneMoreFarangs purposes it would be likely to bend his profile.

Thanks

The way I understood is to take a straight piece of wood and put it with, let's say, 5 screws on a wall.

If the wood is straight and the wall not, then there will be some screws with no gap to the wall and other screws with maybe 5mm or 10mm gap between the wood and the wall. Then fill those gaps, i.e. with little pieces of wood, and then you have a straight piece of wood on a not so straight wall.

Perfect, just missing life experience, you can have her 15 years, and then I take over 

 

My wife had a few western relationship experience, so for me it have been a walk in the park, no need for any training or corrections, and with far les expectations than one in her prime 20ies

 

Can say she as well broken in, and appreciates me as I am, and no high unrealistically expectations 

 

 

I had to train my young girlfriend, and I did that exactly the way I wanted it.

Now she is still together with me - mostly well trained. 😉

Music, good, nature, good, but how about a beautiful girl and not such old woman?

Maybe buy a matching shirt.

Should that comfort middle aged men, and legitimate marry a 16 year old "school"girl because they fancy girls with teddy bears, ponnytailes and school uniforms acting 12 years old? 

How about girls with teddy bears, ponytails trying to act like a 20 years old?

Guys, here is the final update so please neglect the post above. I have just installed the SSO Connect Mobile app and was able to log in which means we still can use this app. (Mods, please let's somehow emphasize that this is the valid piece of info if this huge font isn't allowed).

 

Thanks to you I tried to log in with SSO Connect app and can log in now. However, I am not sure how can you count on pension of 5000 THB if you retire at 60 and 4000 THB if you retire at 55. I started contributing in 2018 and I can see on the app I have around 42000 THB so you may be at around 100K THB so far considering you started contributing in 2008. According to my understanding this monthly figure will increase in time and we can take it out when we are 55 or 60 but we are limited to this figure. For example, my father in law worked for 20 years (he is Thai) and at 55 he had around 120K THB so he was entitled to this money and could have chosen to take it all out at once or to receive it monthly. Could you please explain on what ground you expect to receive 5000 THB i.e. 4000THB a month? Can we contribute more than we do?

 

The app's name goes exactly like this: SSO Connect Mobile and below the app name it is written Bossup Solution Co., Ltd. Let me know if you still can't find it and I will make a screenshot and send it to you.

When I search on my Android phone I find SSO+ Social Security Office Thailand.

I didn't install it yet.

Is that the one?

Don't look at it as 70 million voting FOR Trump. Look at it from the point of view that they voted against Washington that they hate and despise.

 

I voted against the last lot in NZ because I hated and despised them and they were not even half as bad as the Washington establishment.

In part I understand that.

But then, is there no better way to protest vote than voting for a serial liar maniac? He could do real damage.

Yes, there is a swamp in Washington, and the idea to remove it is good. But is voting for the GOP and Trump the way to do that? NO

Why do men think that we want to be equal= being violence towards us? We want to be treated as people not as punching bags. This why women hate men. Like seriously treated us as humans and not inferior or as objects. Also you shouldn't do that to another men nor we should hit men for no reason. Like seriously you think we can only be treated like objects or be treated like a man. There can be no in between like treat us like people with rights who biological different from men. Maybe some women want to be treated as a man but not all.

Thanks for your comment.

I agree with what you write.

It would be good if nobody would use violence. But if person A uses violence against person B, then nobody should be surprised if person B retaliates - independent of male or female.

It can be confusing mostly because they lack knowledge and are confused.  If you go to 5 different True shops, they will quote numerous options some not seem to be offered by other shops.  And the websites for these carriers,  good luck.

I remember a couple of years ago I visited a DTAC shop to ask them about some prices. I think they had 3 people "working" there. I was the only customer. And what did they do when I asked them? They called their service line on one of their phones and handed me the phone. Ask them!

That was not the service which I expected.

While it may be annoying to you, the reality is that Thailand is still very inexpensive compared to many other countries in the world for cell phone coverage. In the US I have a comparable plan to what I have here but it's 1/5th the speed for 5G, and it cost me $85 a month. Here I pay about $17 a month and it's five times faster. 

Yes, I know that in general the service is not expensive in Thailand.

What annoys me is that they clearly spent a lot of money on advertisement and marketing and this and that.

But they are not willing to show the same information on their WWW and App and not when I call them.

They could have that info in an Excel file, and it would cost them basically nothing. But no, they don't do that. Annoying!

I wonder what is it that you try to tell us? 

Ok, let me try again.

There was a time when I used phone and SMS a lot. I had a promotion for 300min per month phone calls, x number of SMS, etc.

Now I use most of the time WhatsApp to chat with people and call them, and that most of the time when I am connected to a WIFI network.

I use the mobile phone provider data to check news and my email, I don't watch long movies in high resolution somewhere outside.

I want a mobile phone provider which is reliable. And I don't want to pay more than necessary.

I checked the invoices from the last couple of months. I never used more than 100min phone calls per month. And I never used all the GB from my internet package. 

I expected that I see on the website and on the app of the mobile phone provider all packages which I can change to, from the cheapest to the most expensive. 

And I would hope for honesty. I can see in my invoice how much I called and how many GB I used. That information is from them. They could easily tell me that for me the cheapest package is just fine, because I don't use anything more than that.

But they make it difficult to change to something cheaper - even if that is in their range of products.

Change in app: No

Change with a phone call to their support: No

Only after asking a couple of times do they offer what they have.

Annoying.

I save now about 3000B per year. That is not much. But what's the point of spending that money if it has absolutely no advantage?

My gf also changed to the cheaper promotion. Another 3000B per year.

A little here, a little there, it adds up. 

With the laws in this country, I am not sure if I am allowed to mention the name of the provider.

I use a big mobile phone provider in Thailand since many years. I pay my bills at the end of the month depending on the usage.

I used their 599B promotion since many years.

Now they sent me a message that that promotion doesn't exist anymore, and they recommend the 669B promotion.

So, I check in my app from that company to look at available packages. The cheapest they offer on their app cost 649B.

Then I looked on their website. The cheapest there is 399B.

So, I called them and asked to which package I can change. The friendly saleswoman told me the cheapest is 449B. I asked her how about that 399B offer from the web? Her answer: I don't see that, I will ask someone else to call you back. 

About 10min later someone called me back and I asked about the 399B package. Yes, I can have that. Then I asked if they have anything cheaper. Yes, 349B. Which conditions? And he told me about the free call time, internet usage, etc. Even the cheapest package was more than twice of what I normally use. So now I changed to that one.

Summary: Now I pay about half of the price of their recommended package.

The phone provider obviously knows how much I call and how much internet I use. They could have easily recognized that even the cheapest package includes more minutes of phone calls and more GB than I used in the last 3 months together. But no, they want to charge more.

I write this here because others might have the same problem, they want to pay no more than necessary, but the phone company makes it extraordinary difficult to choose a cheap promotion which they offer. Annoying!

I suggest send DHL an email and ask them.

I did this before above delivery, and I was surprised about their detailed answer.

Here is what I did some time ago:

I sent an email to th.csflsd[at]dhl.com with information about a parcel which I wanted to receive per DHL.

I included detailed information of what I would receive.

This was before any parcel was sent. 

DHL replied to me with an email with these details:

She didn't deserve it. What a statement. Her slap hardly touched him (and we don't know what he said to her to provoke it) but nevertheless he punched her as hard as he could  and strolled off leaving her unconcious on the ground. This is aggravated assault, a felony. His job is to protect the tenants not beat them up. She could have died while he was ignoring her. He should be in jail.  I can't believe anybody would be so callous as to make such a remark.

Ok, let's try it like that: If the woman would be a guy, and if that guy would have behaved like her, would you have the same opinion?

When I was young my parents told me not to get in any fight and don't hit anybody. They didn't tell me something like you can/should fight with guys but not with women.

There are some sweet and nice women. But there are also some aggressive bitches. I see no reason to treat them different to an aggressive guy.

Me, I learned along time ago some addtional rules:

Retreat is cool.

A real man walks away, because when you can take a life as fast as you can snap your fingers, you are excersizing a power best left to God and you better be damn right about using that power.

 

Regardless, I would expect answers sucj as yours from the lesser trained.

 

I am not a killer and don't want to be a killer.

There is a huge difference between fighting (back) and trying to kill the opponent.

I am not trained at all. But then, since my time in school I never had a reason to fight anybody.

I used to go to a blind massage place in Jomtien.

That was years ago, but I would be surprised if they wouldn't be there anymore. Just check on Google maps.

About the individual therapist: It seems we all have different taste about the massage style, etc. I suggest just go a blind massage place a couple of time, get a massage from several therapists, and then settle on the one which you like most.
