Been a while since I read the history of it, something about the British running around gifting land and drawing lines on maps, same way they screwed up the Middle East.

Tried US Capital One M/C, only once. It went through initially, showed as a Pending Xaction, then Lazada sent a message cancelling the order.
I pushed them for a straight answer, said they would get back to me and of course, they never did. I seem to recall I was ordering using a Mastercard promotion they had going at the time so end of the day, suspected it had to be a MasterCard from a specific Thai bank, see that quite a bit. I ended up doing COD and the pending charge fell off CAP1 account a couple days later.

He's authentically ridiculous and authentically a con man. You can keep keep the real trump as far as you can flush him.
It would be worse if he tried to conceal it but he can't, and so he's not going to win the election. Hillary is a hider, a concealer, a deleter. But, she follows the guidebook, says as little as possible, and for that, she'll be the next POTUS.

Smoking Ganja is good for Glaucoma...
Yup. When medical marijuana was becoming a "thing", I was surprised at how many young people had been suffering from it in silence. Others developed severe cases right there in the parking lot of a willing physician.

i don't see why legally naturalised, law abiding, decent latinos would have a problem with Mr Trump getting rid of illegal, undocumented and possibly criminal latinos threatening their way of life.
They don't, but as you've rightly pointed out elsewhere, the left MSM manufactured the outright lie that Trump Hates Mexicans. They did so with malicious intent to foment ethnic outrage, and repeated it over and over and over again. And now it's a talking point faux fact.
Mass Media Programming 101.

sounds like a clear case of going against the Logan Act.
Maybe. About 1/2 way through that linked article, he more than suggested Germany go along with increasing their troops levels in Afghanistan and Merkel responded. He was a junior Senator at the time but this was a full on whistle stop campaign trip.
He was in Tel Aviv before Germany and same as Bill Clinton and AG Lynch, they were talking about golf and grandkids. -
Clinton is fake. So plastic. She creeps me out more than Trump. Her staff intended to insult Trump with that bit at the end of the OP about Trump always being Trump. Ironically, they paid him a weird sort of compliment for being so authentic and consistent...... a stark contrast to their candidate.

Out of curiousity, when was the last time you made that trip?
BTW, I will take the fishing down there over the fishing in Thailand or SEAsia any day.
This area is over-fished.
Oh yes, my favorite fishing trip (on the Baja side, mid-90s) was Punta Baja, even on the lee side, bombing out through a lull in the waves in an 18-20' panga. Getting back in later on was one helluva ride.

I have marijuana smokers. The smell of this filthy habit is much worse than cigarettes which I can tolerate. If you think smoking pot makes you cool and has health benefits, you need your head examined.
That's how I was exposed to it when I was about 12 or 13 years old. There were several weed smokers in my neighborhood group of friends and naturally I and others who didn't smoke, wanted to be accepted. I smoked A LOT of weed from then until I was 16 or 17.
Went on hiatus for 30 odd years, was anti drug because that was the culture I was in but many of us ex-teen smokers would joke about one day being able to retire, grow a pony tail and smoke a fat one to celebrate our reclaimed sense of freedom.

Chemical elements of the marijuana plant are known to have medical benefits. Medical MJ community is all over CBDs in particular, which have been found to be very useful, and have been developed into non-smoked medication form.
THC, while it does have some useful benefits and studies are on going as well, serious professionals in the medical science community do not willing endorse smoking or the mental/behavioral side effects of THC, which makes the user "high/stoned".
Recreational/casual smoking of marijuana is just that. I've got no problem with it but do not delude myself into thinking smoking MJ is "good" for you. It's not. Even a pro-MJ Doctor will tell you that ingesting hot smoke from a burning substance, marijuana or otherwise, is simply NOT good for the human body. Smoking takes a bit of practice and discipline to overcome the body's natural reaction to smoke invading the lungs, which is to cough and gag to expel it, and try to get away from the offending source.

Maybe it's just me, but the layout theme changes day to day, maybe even depending on time of day if Tech Staff are working on things? Sometimes it's the "new" look, where you have to click on the tile icon in the upper right (3 or 4 horizontal lines) to get at the notifications bell icon and then hit that again to see notifications and a drop down menu containing all sorts of stuff. Only the current thread location is displayed, truncated in a single placeholder icon.
Logging in this morning, it's back to a more familiar layout, for example: account/messages/notification bell icons visible on the upper right, and you can see the Forum>Subforum>Thread Name full location path displayed in upper left area when inside a topic thread (see attached snips). May be a bit of the "comfortable old shoe" syndrome but I find this version more informative and usable than the other. Just my 2 Pesos worth.

Take her smart phone and put it out in the hallway by the elevator. Problem solved.

Not weird at all. The world is waking up to the facts and trying a better way to deal with addiction, by TAKING CONTROL of the drugs, instead of handing control to global criminal networks.
Its just common sense. Finally!

Weird in the sense I wouldn't of expected it from Thailand and moreover, the current government. I'm a bit unsure about the inclusion of Yabba, but certainly agree with a shift from incarceration to treatment for those who' haven't committed a crime beyond possession/use.

I groan when I see an advert (in the USA for example) for a business with the fish symbol displayed. I won't do you wrong, trust me, I'm a christian.

well for medical purposes there are many benefits.
The leaps and bounds taken by the professional medical community in such a short period of time, is really exciting and there's more to come. In particular, the advances with medical applications of CBD element extracted from marijuana, administered to patients in less harmful, non-smoked forms. THC has its benefits, but medicos ain't thrilled with the side effects and unwilling proponents of smoking it - or anything for that matter.
IMO when purely recreational users jump on the medical benefits band wagon, usually between their non-medical related bong hits
, it's disingenuous, and diminishes the serious discussion. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some old dude hanging on to the Devil Weed propaganda. LOL, quite the contrary, wink wink, but still, I separate the two camps.

Sent me straight to Google for info, but I wasn't aware of the political tensions there, outlined in an article dated today.

Says the guy who joined TVF last week and has 133 posts already.
Edit: Oh well, it was 2015 not last week. I must of been looking at my phone whilst typing on the computer. LOL.

Don't have Amex card, but both Charles Schwab Bank and Capital One (credit and bank) moved to close my accounts when I tried to use the house address here in LoS. Used a relative's US street address instead. Same for investments opened a few years ago.
Navy Federal and USAA Credit Unions didn't have a problem with the Thai address, have sent credit and ATM cards here through regular mail.

Weird, we had the article about medical marijuana in the last few days. Then Scott's weed pole, and now this.

A great argument for P2P if you just want to shag. What's that old punter's saying....you're not paying for sex, you're paying them to leave in the morning.
No drama.

You're not necessarily "smart", you're just living within your means. That is "smart" behavior but it is such a basic concept in life, it's nothing to gloat about.
Guys who spend 100k aren't drug addicts or being scammed. That's a stupid thing to say and when you say it, you don't sound smart at all.
