  1. I'll be dropping them if they do this.  After being "true" for 8 years, their programming has steadily deteriorated, so this is the last straw. 

     

    Anyone want to sell me the 1000 channel box, that includes Fox News, HBO, yadda yadda?  And a router that will power the whole thing?  From what I've experienced so far, the advertisements "load" on my current router could never make this a good experience.  My idea of watching tv and videos DOES NOT include watching a spinning circle.

    You can contact me thru Thai Visa. 

  2. Unbelievable that anyone with a basic education would view this 11 year old, private conversation as anything other than the desperate attempt to discredit the only viable candidate.  If this is truly all the Democrats have to show that Trump is somehow unfit, then Republicans (not RINO'S) have nothing to worry about.  Trump is not running for Pope of the Catholic Church.  Not only does this "secret" recording show him as much like 80%  of men I've heard talking in private, it also shows the hypocrisy and desperation of the liberals.  VP Biden's (photo & video evidence) groping of women, and so much more actual ACTIONS of other politicians show me that I'm accurate in the assessment of this paltry attempt to use spoken words to compare the ACTIONS of Hillary Clinton to them in a meaningful way...not possible and not even in the same universe.

  3. I noticed that the "form" was not included in the actual 90 day notification "interview".  The officer threw the filled out form in a cardboard box and clipped the required documents for the notification together as usual.  So, this could indicate that a different bunch is getting the forms.  I might add that the lady officer did not even glance at the form.

  4. IMHO, I think the "worst" mass shooting in US history is actually the massacre at "Wounded Knee"......many unarmed women and children were murdered. They were a minority group of native Americans. What is reprehensible is the opportunistic politicians who are using the incident to push an agenda of disarmament and more central government. The fact that the shooter had 2 separate investigations by the FBI; one even a contact with a known terrorist advocate - the other an overt "threat" of violence and support of known groups, hostile to the USA, is more important than any other current information.

  5. MOM!!!!!!

    You don't look a day over 40.

    Don't worry, you will get free massages and mango shakes in prison. Remember to ask for gluten-free!!!!!

    It is a bit humorous that this particular age group is careful about gluten and about 900 other things but not drugs like heroin, etc. Opiates are naturally provided by Mother Nature for terminal illness and serious injury pain relief. Using it to cure "mental pain" is a dead-end.

  6. The problem I found was that most exercise things were just plain boring!

    But shifting a pile of wood, or cutting down a load of trees by hand, digging something, or climbing up a hill was much more satisfying.

    I fence foil and epee 2 or 3 times a week. Fun and exercise at the same time. Actually gets the brain involved as well.

  7. I think someone lost the plot here with a price tag of 320,000 baht, especially when I just looked at a Kawasaki Vulcan 650 at 280,000.

    The Enfield is a cheap bike in India, it is easy to fix by all the locals because they have had it around since WW2, but here...why would you do that?

    I am sure there are places in Bangkok where, for a small fee they will beat the living daylights out of you, if it is nostalgia you are after.

    I've seen even higher prices speculated for the RE's to be produced in Thailand. Very few(like maybe 3 or 4) motorcycles are worth more than a car.(IMO) Anyone that would pay extremely high prices for any bike other than the 'few' is not thinking straight.

  8. Thats going to sting.

    Of all the money making ideas in all the world thats gotta be the dumbest of the lot, by several country miles.

    You can't make this stuff up, really!

    Dumb is right....of all the countries to try and deal drugs! In Canada, the courts would have given him housing, more education/job opportunities and food......because 'it's not his fault'.

  9. This is pretty funny because the Catholic Church has built plenty of walls, walled cities, etc. Protecting the border with a wall is like protecting the "church" with locked doors and bars on the windows. I notice that Trump does not advocate building a wall on the Canadian border, because there is no problem with illegals from that direction. Why? Because Canada regulates entry; is bordered by oceans and is funding and enforcing it's immigration laws.

  10. In general, one can just observe the damage alcohol does worldwide and make a decision not to participate. Personally, I don't like the effects on my body and finished with drinking at age 14 (now 67) Haven't missed it at all, saved thousands of dollars and have met many awesome people who also don't imbibe (for various reasons) Regardless of what people think about alcohol, it is a poison and can addict in way that many refuse to recognize.

    If a person claims 'they like the taste', then they 'should' be able to go through their entire life, drinking only enough to 'taste'. Those will be rare individuals who can take it or leave it on any given day. Every other person likely has an addiction, even if they only drink small amounts every day. From a clinical standpoint, if you drink for the 'effect', then you will develop a tolerance and require the same or larger amounts to get the 'effect'. Because of the way alcohol affects the brain, the 'balance' is either drink seldom to get the same 'effect' from the same volume or increase the dosage because of frequency. I have nothing against people who want to drink and believe that limitations on them should continue to be linked to their behavior while intoxicated. Having lived a full life, with lots of hunting, fishing, hiking and other somewhat risky outdoor activities, I can say I'd rather have a companion that had not been drinking, than one who was impaired. Just my opinion.

  11. 20 minutes in/out 90-day report yesterday in Pattaya...maybe there's a message in there for you biggrin.png

    Yes there is a message and yes we are. You know what I mean. When I read what the poster states I really feel we are being robbed of any dignity we have left at our advanced age. Anyone reporting 90 days in person needs to get a lesson in mailing it in. Even the mails are taking 2 weeks or more to get your slip returned its a nightmare that looks like it will never end and only get worse. When you have no vehicle and go by taxi its taxing to say the least especially paying back and forth back and forth and possibly going back the next day for your "signed" passport. Yes a box outside the door would be a smart move but nothing really makes any sense here anymore. Why not jack up the price of the annual visa extension to 2500 bahts or 3,000 and streamline the system to handle the excessive amount (and climbing) of people applying. We are seemingly being forced to use the "visa" agents with no alternatives. We are being herded into a huge funnel.

    I'm really curious to know why one would think that a cost increase will "improve" service? This is a serious question and cynical as well, since I've never noticed such a connection in any country.rolleyes.gif

  12. All sounds good to me. If you want to stay here do it properly, as in any other country, or face the consequences. Why do foreigners think it is ok to abuse the system of the country they are visitors in?

    Yeah, guess a person would have to go to the USA (illegally) to get around the penalties! Being from the US....I don't think it is wise to 'point fingers' at Thailand's problems of enforcing immigration law - USA 12 MILLION illegals and counting!facepalm.gif

  13. The hardest for me so far, is not being able to find stuff I'm looking for (to purchase) I know its not impossible, just much more difficult. Most 'hardware' stores do not carry items that seem commonplace in the USA. Repair parts for faucets, toilets seem like specialty items here,e.g. special order or specific shops. I'm getting better at locating stuff like this but it is a learning experience.
