Thanks. 

I'm just going to delete it without opening it.

 I just received an email  that says from Bangkok Bank. It says, "We have detected some unusual activity on your Bua Luang ...." 

 I don't think I have a Bua Luang account. I have a savings account and a fixed account.  Is it safe to open this email?

Google   "nexguard for mange".

 Nexguard is a flea and tick treatment, but also cures mange.

 For fleas and ticks it is given once a month. For mange, give one tab, then another at 14 days, another at 28 days, then once a month.

 I did this with a temple dog after all else failed, and the mange was gone in a month or two. She is now a clean, beautiful and happy dog.

Nexguard is about bt 1,000 for a pack of 3 tabs.

True came the other day to update the box and they installed a new dish, (the old dish was more than 20 years old).

Now, sometime when I change channels, the set top box shuts off and then restarts itself. Any idea what that's all about?

 sounds like the OP is exposing his dog to a lot of poisons. That chaindrite is great for killing pests, but I wouldn't use it near my dog.

 One of our temple dogs had a bad case of mange last year. I did a lot of research on the internet and got some good advice here on this forum. The Nexguard website said it controls fleas and ticks. They also said in trials they found that it kills mange also. Nexguard is a once a month treatment for ticks and fleas, but for mange, it is given.... one initial dose, then another at 14 days, another at 28 days, and then once a month.

It cleared up the mange in about 3 months and she remains mange free now, 1 year later. Also, I haven't found a tick or flea in over a year.

 For my own dogs, I've always used Frontline for ticks. It works great, but I will admit, after a few years, it does become less effective.

 I would never use the shampoos.

It's been going on for a few weeks now. When windows 10 tries to diagnose the problem, they mention a DNS problem. I think mtls2005 is probably right, but it's over my head. I'll look around and see what I can find.

Thanks

Just started a new cycle, plenty of data.

I get internet from a true aircard. It's always worked fine but having problems now.

It will work ok for awhile, then I keep getting "This site can't be reached".  It says not connected to the internet, but when I click onto the internet icon, it says, connected.

Is it more likely a problem with my laptop or the aircard?

I find this interesting as we have a similar situation.

We've had a 3 rai plot of land for over 20 years, bought as an investment. About 10 years ago, the phu yai baan told us there was a law that if we just left the land, without using it, the government could confiscate it. 

I planted a few shade trees and about 20 bananas and the wife has a little vegetable garden there. We haven't heard any more, so I guess everyone's satisfied.

 Thanks for the replies,

 I was looking in a shop the other day and laptop prices were from 9,000-40,000 baht. I'm not sure why the big difference. I think my needs are quite simple. I just look up stuff on Google, read newspapers, skype and email. What price range would get me a good laptop that fits my needs?

I want to buy a new laptop with windows 10 pre-installed. Do I just buy one, turn it on and go, or do I have to do anything before I start?

Do doctors actually give you a prescription you can take to a pharmacy to buy meds?

I have always gotten the drugs from the doctor or hospital.

Thanks Wildewillie,

 The dog isn't mine, he lives at the temple. They were being neglected so I feed them and take care of their medical needs. I hate to traumatize him any more, but if that's what it takes, I'll do it.

One of our temple dogs, a male about 8-9 years old, must have had a traumatic experience as a puppy. He is afraid of people and won't go near anyone but my wife and me. It took about 3-4 months of patience and good food before he would let us touch him. Now, we can pet him and he lets me check for ticks, but he is very nervous even after years of knowing us.

 The problem is, he has never had any shots. He gets Heartguard Plus every month and is wormed once a year, but no shots. The other dogs, I put in the pickup and take to the vets, no problem, but I think that would be too traumatic for this dog and I'm afraid he might bite me if I tried to pick him up. I've tried to give him a bath, but he won't allow it. He's afraid of just about everything.

 I'd like to know if I should just forget about the shots, or if someone has a suggestion how to get him vaccinated?  

Thanks TJ

I want a copy of my fbar report. 

The instructions say, after filling out the form, "Download a copy (read only), and keep for your records".

What does "read only" mean, and how do I get a copy?

They get all of that. What are the "other wormers" you mentioned?

My dogs get Heartguard every month. Heartguard only kills a couple of kinds of intestinal worms, so should I be giving them something in addition to Heartguard?

I just did a SWIFT transfer for $11,000. After reading some of the posts here, I'd like to know, what could the IRS do that could cause me problems?  

I was mainly looking for a surgeon with lots of experience and his price was $4,000.

I checked and the price in Thailand was $8,000 with a surgeon with less experience.

An experienced Dr. in the US was $11,000.

I feel I got my money's worth.

I chose the Dr. on recomendation of another TVF member. No incontinence. No sexual dysfunction.

I was getting up 7-8 times a night. Now, once or twice. A couple of times, I've slept through the night.

Dr. told me to plan on 5 days in India. I thought a couple extra days to be safe. No problems.

Because my wife doesn't use the computer, I have set it up with our joint US bank account to make one large, annual, ACH transfer to her BKKB account. 

Now that the ACH transfers are coming to an end, I'd like to know if any of the other transfer options has the ability to make recurring transfers?

Could someone please explain why a SWIFT transfer is supposedly expensive compared with an ACH transfer?

From what I can see, a SWIFT transfer is as easy and fast as an ACH transfer and Bangkok Bank charges the same for both. I assume the expensive part is the fee charged by the US sending bank?

A few months ago, my wife wanted to apply for ach transfers from our US bank (Morgan Stanley), to her BKKB account here. I have been using the ach transfers to our joint account here for a few years now and it was very easy to set up and there was no problem with the trial transfers.

 However, this time, the trial transfers would not go through. I called my US bank and explained the situation. They didn't know what the problem was, but emailed me a form where I checked the box saying it was for outgoing transfers only. My wife signed the form and emailed it back. It was approved, no trial transfers, and she successfully made a transfer the next day.

Not sure if that would work now, but did a few months ago.
