Why do electric-power outages very rarely happen during evening hours?
we have regular outages, several of a night but not as many as when we lived in the other house in town, mainly consist of cars hitting poles, falling trees or people wiring into the power lines themselves, planned outages are usually known through mail drops. Over all outage times are usually not very long, a couple of hours at most but usually under an hour, planned ones are from 9am till 4pm.

Cement breaking down
I have been trying to sort the problem out since posting, sorry if it wasnt fast enough for you, after having it checked by a few different people and the replies in here we have decided to go with tiles over the effected area, we have been given a really good price to do it all by the tiler we have used previously. I wasnt going to post an update till it was done and we could make sure it was the right solution but apparently it upset this poster who has not commented at all in this post apart from this whinge, boredom must be a real problem for them

Cement breaking down
Not as yet, my wife does not do arguing very well unless its with me, she tends to be submissive to other thais but I will be pushing her to lodge a complaint as the mix was just so bad

Cement breaking down
there was a couple of hundred baht difference but not enough to explain the garbage the first one supplied, we used the first one because we like to use local businesses and they are only 100 metres away, they supplied the mix for the roads through our area and it was all good and finished well. The area is 8 x 5 metres so its a big job, we cant put another layer over it or it will cause flooding of the area around it

Cement breaking down
We had a slab laid for our cars just a couple of months ago under the new roofed area, it was trucked in but when the mix was released onto the prepared area it was absolutely overloaded with blue metal and sand, obviously the company that was supplying it was making profits by using more of each with a smaller amount of cement, The workers had a very hard time trying to get a good finish as it would not level/smooth over and blue metal was showing through the surface all over it. It started to break down within a very short time and if we tried to hose it off the surface would break down even more and would wash away the cement/sand. It is a large area so removing & replacing is out of the question, if I was back in Australia I would use Bond crete to try to stop it breaking down but not sure if they have anything here that would do the same thing so need some help to find out what I can use/do to stop the surface breaking down. Needless to say we used a different supplier to finish the driveway with no problems and the finish is great, seeing this it is easy to see why so many buildings etc fall apart in Thailand, profits before quality.

Man shot dead by federal agents in Minneapolis
he pulled a gun on ice agents, he had 2 spare mags ready, he wasnt there for a peaceful time, he found that FAFO is a real thing, wouldnt be surprised it comes out that he intended to shoot ice agents, the left have been pushing for it and looks like some are listening to them.

At Home Blood Pressure Monitors : Are They Accurate ?
I have my blood pressure checked regularly at the local clinic and at the hospital, unless they both have inaccurate monitors mine gives the same/very close results daily and occassionally high readings(why I got it) before I need to go to either of them to be checked over. It is doing exactly what I bought it for, to monitor my blood pressure to guard against very high readings and it does the job very well, readings match the clinic/hospital readings when I go in to them, it does exactly what it is meant to, to let me know when my blood pressure jumps high or drops to low
