Growing up in the '60s, I would mow lawns, shovel snow, rake leaves, wash cars, make and hawk trinkets in my neighborhood, run a lemonade stand, deliver newspapers 7 days/week, 365 days/year, and babysit. As I got older, I would clean the local movie theater before school, saved and bought diving gear and did light salvage (purses, winch handles, and outboard motors dropped in the harbor), and boat bottom cleaning, painted boats and homes, washed airplanes at the local airport, cleaned sewer pipes, shoveled shyte at the local greenhouse, did day labor on construction sites, etc. Pretty much anything to honestly and legally earn money. I feel like I worked my ass off for many years, learning a lot about making and saving money. My parents taught me NONE of these skills directly. They also wouldn't let me get a license until I saved enough to buy a vehicle ($600 USD for a 1963 Ford Econoline van, bought in 1969, equivalent to about 5K today). I know many of these jobs are unavailable now- but the lack of a strong work ethic prevents many from being creative. Being a creator/influencer is not really a great career choice.

I want to see the NYS tax board investigate him. He low-balled value estimates on his properties to lower his taxes (victims = NYS residents). He high-balled his estimates to receive loans at favorable rates. The tax boards should reassess what he owes, based on his higher estimates, as he STILL CLAIMS THOSE ESTIMATES ARE ACCURATE. BTW, this is one of the reasons for the non-monetary penalties he was assessed. He STILL claims he did nothing wrong, therefore, he might try it again, given the chance. Engoron is not giving him that chance. He then has a choice of admitting that he either perjured himself in the Engoron case or that he also committed CRIMINAL fraud in the tax case. Can't have it both ways. -

Pity for the 6-year old, but how does this section of the law apply? -

Peabody replied to bobbin's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
Which one did you order? I had 2 Black Widows. The charging port was shot after about 2 months on each. Currently have a Flowermate V5 Nano, maybe 5 months old. Such a superior device. -

Pattaya to Expand Lanes on Chaiyapruek Road for Improved Traffic Flow
Peabody replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Sometimes I swear they drop the plans on the floor, then reassemble them in reverse order. Why didn't they do the improvements on Chaiyapruek BEFORE starting the 1-way on Jomtien Beach Rd? -
Beach Rd. closed to traffic?

Violent clash between Thai and Filipino trans groups rocks Bangkok
Peabody replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Oh, the irony! From the article: "Yes, come 2028, Thailand is poised to become the heartbeat of the LGBTQ+ community worldwide, showcasing not just its breathtaking landscapes but its monumental support for gender inclusivity. Last year’s Pride parade, a kaleidoscope of colors and smiles, was just a glimpse into Thailand’s welcoming heart. ...buzzing with anticipation to welcome the world to Thailand’s shores... Thailand is not just preparing to host an event; it’s readying itself to become a beacon of love, inclusivity, and unity." -
