Dazinoz

But, calling yourself Dazinoz kinda hints that you are posting from there....n'est pas?

 

Why not change to Dazinthailand? 

Like I said I started posting from Australia and hence the name. Been here 4 1/2 years.

Why should I change it? You seem to be the only one concerned about it.

Says Dazinoz, sorry, couldn't resist the irony.

Where is the irony? Did I play the card?

Or are you referring to my name? Was set up in Oz well before I moved here.

Looks like you did a nice job.  Don't have a fan running while you do this!  

 

You're lucky your pet is a dog not a cat.  So much easier to coax a dog into taking a pill.  When Mr. Bitey had his surgery in August, he was sent home with six meds to be administered daily.  I thought the vet was kidding.  Have you ever tried to get one pill down a cat, let alone six?

We used to have a cat a long time ago in Australia, and, yes you are right they are hard to get pills into. We actually bought a "pill gun" that fired the pill down its throat. I know sounds drastic but It was special for cats and did not hurt him. Much easier to get them into him.

Also remember one time before we had the gun we were trying to get the pill into him and we just could not. Frustrated after many attempts i just sat there holding the pill between my fingers in front of him. He sniffed it, took it and ate it. Obviously a rare good tasting pill.

Just a light hearted post on a requirement from taking our small dog to the vet the other day.

As well as treatment in the surgery she was given medicine to take at home. Now i have heard half or even a quarter of a table but never one eighth (yes 1/8) of a capsule. Had to divide 2 capsules into 16 gelcaps.

Never done hard drugs but reminded me of all the movies I have watched cutting their powder.

Photo 1. The capsule to divide into 8.          Photo 2. The "cut".            Photo 3. The resultant "stash.

I am very happy living here, but there again I don't go insulting Thais. But I do find some foreigners more of an odd ball than Thais, we have already a bad name here and banding insults about certainly does not help matters.

I fully agree with you. Just saying no one has the right to tell someone else to go home.

i have also met some really strange farang here and sometimes ashamed to be one.

Nobody is telling him to go home, but if he can't live in Thailand without insulting people, he could actually do himself a favour by getting out of an environment he may well not be suited to.

Read post #78

Maybe it's time to pack your bags and buy a one-way ticket! Surely you can't be happy living amongst the psychotic people.

Maybe him going home is not such a bad idea after all, if only for his own safety, you cannot go around calling Thais ting and expect things to end well.

That's his problem and he will learn one way or the other. Other than immigration no one really has the right to tell someone to go home.

wow, took 78 posts before someone played the "you should go home" card.

Its not only the Thais that claim they own the road in front of their business. I once parked in front of a French restaurant in Chiang Mai that was closed. I was gone about 30 mins and when I came back there was a large sign taped, and I mean taped all the way around, on my windscreen. The restaurant had opened in the short time I was gone. I ripped the sign off and rolled it up and went to open the restaurant door to give it back to them and was welcomed by a punch to the face from an old guy inside. The owner of the restaurant arrived at the same time and told me I can't park there. I politely told him he does not own the road. He told me he paid for and owned the footpath and road in front of his shop. My Thai gf was talking to a shop owner next door and she said he had many problems with people parking there including one motorbike he dragged out into the middle of the relatively busy road and left it there.

Does that make you a bible basher?
Lol..... bit of an over reaction though, “ting tong” is hardly much of an insult.


Sent from my house using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app

Not sure if true but have read the term "ting tong" is a bar girl created term and calling the average Thai that is very insulting.

Assuming you're not Thai, I'd guess you tossed your rose colored glasses leaving the country you travel/moved from. Time you did this again?

 

I actually had none in my country. I bought them to come here. Unfortunately soon got shattered here.

Good for you. Personally I've been here long enough to lose the stars in my eyes.

Yes, have been unable to buy the rose colored glasses a lot seem to have.

Check if he doesn't get Myanmar citizenship as well... just in case he wants to run for PM some day

Shhhhhhhh!!!

My Myanmar girlfriend had a baby to me, Australian, in Thailand and his birth certificate states " someone who is illegally or temporarily in Thailand" and also "not aquire Thai nationality".

I have made him Australian by Descent and I apply for his passport tomorrow.

You make a good point...but I also understand what Gilly is saying.  I always find people who are overly friendly, or someone who just goes and starts conversations with random strangers, a bit, well, shall we say....creepy.

Agree. If I go to a "group" function like CEC for the first time I would expect someone to come and welcome me.

A friend could not pay the rent so I bought it cheap from him instead of letting the bank take it.
(40 % below market price)

Sounds a fair enough reason to me. Try it out and if you don't like it try to sell and probably still make a profit even if you sell under market value.

Personally, unless I had a chance at a deal like that, I would not buy. I have been here 4 1/2 years and in my 5th house. Have moved for a variety of reasons but never needed to.

Went outside this morning to check on my work........and DUCK ME......they have ganged up.

How did those small whole appear in the first place? Was it the duck?  (in the bottom right hand corner that is)

Yep, I think he went quakers.

Actually someone had put 5 small ugly trees in. As can be seen from the first pic the holes were not aligned and something in the soil had made them grow at much different rates.

You could pave that small area with the non coloured ones that you can buy and no one will notice. Only 8 baht each.

If that is a gutter down pipe I see you don't want the water flowing into that dirt. Either replace the pavers with new ones or extend the pipe.

 

Actually we have a small dog and she has no real toilet in the yard, just the pavers. So today I decided I will put some grass in that small area for her toilet. Easy to hose out. And yes I will extend drain pipe.

Can you take a few matching green ones form the back of the house and move them to those holes and then fill the one in the back with plain ones that you can try to paint to match?

Yep. Small area near front gate was raided for the pavers. Going to make little "feature" of this area.

Holes now filled.

Hmm, I hadn't considered the colour issue, sorry!

 

Personally, I would be very tempted to fill them with concrete and etch the lines of the blocks into the semi-wet cement and then paint them, probably all of them.

No problem.

Too many to paint as most of the yard is them.

I guess we will never know. After 67 posts he has not returned. Maybe just a troll. 

Hmmmm. Last post was #67. Now this one of mine comes in @#61
