So why did she order spicy in the first place?
If I order s[icy food I just have a small taste first. If it is too spicy for me then i will say so and leave the food. When comes the time to pay the bill, I would pay it in full and explain to the wait staff, that it was my problem for ordering it in the first place.
That is the blessing or the curse, of being born with common sense.
Right. Only idiots would take a big gob full if they had never tasted dragon's balls before. Maybe she was sexually excited? As Rita Hayworth sang, "There is a fire down below. Down below in my ........😉😄

If you try to eat dragon's balls what do you expect? The dragon is not going to be very happy and will breathe fire on you.😉

You asked: "I wonder if US citizens are embarrassed at the way some of those seeking high office continually stoop to juvenile name calling?"
My response was: "As an American, I am much more embarrassed at our press and how many people are duped by it."
How does this not answer your question? I have to be embarrassed about the one, to be more embarrassed about the other, yes? Just take is as a yes.
You also asked "Are these the sort of people they want to represent their country?
My response was:
"As a classical liberal, I am tired of the left lying and dividing our county, and I am tired of being called names for the last fifteen years by Obama, Clinton, Biden, the leftist press that supports them, and their supporters, so pardon me if my panties do not get in a ruffle when some of it gets turned back on them. Eff the left.
I do not want the leftist policies that a Harris-Walz Administration will push though, so I will vote against it.
I would vote for Bernie Sanders first. In fact, put every social security number over 35 years old in a lottery, and I would take my chances voting for that number before I would vote for Harris."
Does that in any way give you the idea that I am happy with the sort of people I have to choose from to represent my country? Just take is as a no.
So yes, to your first question, and no to the second.
Thank you. Your feelings on those charged with running my country, the UK, are very similar. The difference is that our politicians don't throw childish insults around at those they do not agree with, although those they are supposed to represent do. And quite rightly deserved in some cases.

Then Harris should be prosecuted for promising people money to get votes?
At least Elon is spending his own money.
But she hasn't given it upfront. That would be classed as buying your way into power. All politicians promise the world to voters. But when they are in power. Hard brown stuff!

As an observer, I wonder if US citizens are embarrassed at the way some of those seeking high office continually stoop to juvenile name calling? Something that most adults left behind in their preteen years. Are these the sort of people they want to represent their country? All very sad. But then perhaps it is the norm in this crazy mixed up so-called civilised age.

If you look at the two fly wheels, and the polymer driving belts at the backside, this is an absolute no-go. No protection cage, the wheels are completely free and easily accessible. Just imagine kids are walking there, they tend to move their hands in these places. Unbelievable.
She had a nasty turn. R.I.P.😢

8 hours ago, Social Media said:In 2019, Charlotte Holmes of Wichita, Kansas, found herself at the center of a life-altering event when a routine checkup with her cardiologist took a sudden turn. Her blood pressure skyrocketed, leading doctors to suspect she was either having a stroke or an impending heart attack. Rushed to the hospital, Charlotte was quickly placed on an intravenous drip. But soon after, her heart stopped. For 11 minutes, she was clinically dead.
During those moments, Charlotte says she experienced both heaven and hell in vivid detail. Recalling her story on the Christian TV show *The 700 Club*, Charlotte's husband Danny remembered the eerie atmosphere in the hospital room. “I looked around, and I knew there were no flowers in that room,” he said. “That’s when I knew she was not in this world.”
As for Charlotte, who was 68 at the time, she recounted the beginning of her experience: “I could see Danny standing in the corner... I could see all the nurses around." But then, her vision shifted. "I opened my eyes, I looked around at the beauty. I could see the trees, I could see the grass. And everything was swaying with the music, because everything in heaven worships God.”
Charlotte described heaven as indescribably beautiful, noting that its magnificence is beyond human comprehension. “It’s so above what we can even imagine – [by] a million times, a million times,” she said, emphasizing that earthly words fall short in conveying what she saw.
Led by angels, she recalled feeling “pure joy” and an absence of fear as she entered heaven. There, she was reunited with deceased family members, including her mother, father, and sister, who appeared healthy and vibrant. “They didn’t look old, they didn’t look sick, none of them wore glasses,” Charlotte said. “They looked like they were in their 30s... They looked wonderful.”
Among the most profound moments was her encounter with a bright light, which she instinctively knew to be God. Standing alongside Him was a toddler, whom Charlotte identified as her son, lost during pregnancy. “I lost that child,” she shared. “I was five-and-a-half months pregnant. I can remember them holding the baby up and saying, ‘Charlotte, it's a boy.’ Then he was gone.” Seeing the toddler before her, Charlotte was overwhelmed. “I said, ‘God, how is that possible?’ [And] He says, ‘They continue to grow in heaven.’”
But her experience was not limited to the joys of heaven. God chose to show her a glimpse of hell. “I looked down, and the smell, and then rotten flesh – that’s what it smelled like – and then screams,” Charlotte recalled. The stark contrast between the beauty of heaven and the horrors of hell was overwhelming. “After seeing the beauty of heaven, the contrast to seeing hell is almost unbearable,” she said.
Charlotte remembered God’s words as she witnessed hell: “He says, ‘I show you this to tell you, if some of them do not change their ways, this is where they shall reside.’” The imagery and warnings left a deep impact on her.
Soon after, Charlotte heard her father’s voice, telling her to return to the living world and share her experience. At that moment, she felt herself being drawn back into her body and awoke in her hospital bed. She made a full recovery and was released from the hospital two weeks later.
Since then, Charlotte has dedicated herself to sharing her story, believing that it carries a powerful message. “People need hope,” she said. “They want to know that there really is something out there, they want to know that everything's OK.”
Her belief in heaven is unwavering. “Heaven is more than you can imagine,” Charlotte stated. “I’m so grateful I can look you square in the eye and tell you for sure, heaven is real.”
Based on a report from MSN 2024-10-24
Yeah. Right. I won't ask who she will be voting for.😉

Negligence! Unguarded machine and loose clothing. I'm surprised there are not more accidents like this. Perhaps there are, but don't get reported. R.I.P 😢

Agree. But don't rely on getting a Reminder from Immigration to reapply. After years of doing it online. Not checking the expiry date as I usually do, I went seven days over. My fault and it cost me Bt2000.
Are reminders still being sent?

Angela Rayner, the deputy Prime minister, said in Parliament yesterday ' MPs can do whatever they like in their own time and with their own money." But why is she more or less condoning political interference in another country's internal elections? It's certainly a good way to sour our relationship with the USA. As a Brit, I think the British government would certainly object if the boot was on the other foot.

The point is, that you are encouraging corruption.
The fine is the same if you are 2 days, 2 months or almost 1 year late in reporting.
The law is there and has been for many years. You don't have to like it, and you can even do it online from home, and it is free as @ukrukes has already said.

I just wonder why you consider all old expats are drunks. Just easy to label? It would be like me saying all male floor moppers are homosexuals. It's insulting and ridiculous. Your claim to caring is lip service methinks.

Perhaps potholes on minor roads could be excused to a point. But for potholes as in the picture there is no excuse. How many police patrols saw this and ignored it? Surely it is in their remit to report any road hazard, and in turn to be forwarded to the road works department for immediate remedial action. But yeah. T.I.T.

Thank you for the replies. I think I've solved the problem. The dispenser is almost empty.!!🤪 I need to get my brain tested as well as my eyes. Old age. I'm not looking forward to it😉

I previously used the single-dose Vislube, which was easy to dispense. However, I eventually discovered that Vislube caused me significant eye pain, a problem that seems to occur occasionally with others. Consequently, I switched to the more affordable carboxymethylcellulose or natural tear-type eye drops, which proved to be equally effective.
VisLube was prescribed by the doctor treating me for macular degeneration. The problem I have is getting the drops out of the super dooper? one drop, fairly hard dispenser. I have to squeeze it for ages. Coming up to ninety one my fingers are not as strong as they once were. I just want to know if there is an easy way of doing it. Could the dispenser be at fault or is this normal? Thanks for your reply.

Correct.

I have to squeeze my eye drop dispenser for about a minute before a drop comes out. The dispenser is fairly hard plastic, so my poor old fingers have problems keeping the pressure on. Is anyone using Vislube and having the same problem and maybe how to solve it?

What happened to arrival cards?
in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Posted
I still have mine from 2020 and doing my 90 days last week at Jomtien Immigration there was still a place for Arrival card.
