  1. My supplier is closing up shop. Does anyone know of a reliable dealer? I prefer liquid as close in taste as Marlboro. I realize this info might not be best for the general forum so please call at <phone number removed>

  2. If you plan to leave one day after the 7 day grace period, simply mail the 90 day report using the old address via ems before time expires. That way, when you leave you can say it has been sent in but you've not yet received the new 90 day due date. Your EMS receipt clipped to a copy of your 90 day report w/due date will be your proof.

     

    Straighten the details out at immigration when you return

  3. I am wondering, for example, why no one mentioned a cloth covering like a bootie.

    We have two shih tzus (see profile pic); the brown and white is 4, athlethic and easily excitable (barks at everything passing) but clever enough to know there's no danger unless i stand up and start walking towards him. The black and white is 12 and has never responded to the 'come' command since we got him at 7 weeks. He will come with food in your hand but his nose is excellent so if you try to game him, he has... well it's a '*@##* you, i'm busy' kind of stare.

    Licking incessantly is a behavior disorder which is the specialty of Cesar Millan - the Dog Whisperer. He has a series on TV that I watched for years (until i threw my True Visions box in the septic tank) and learned a lot about teaching the dogs to do what I want. (They would be much better behaved if my wife and i were on the same page. So far, i haven't found a tutorial on how to train a wife.) Anyway, Ceasar Millan has twitter and face book and can probably give you an answer that will work... or you can keep trying for a solution to pop out from a goup of people who probably don't know how to teach their dogs to heel.

    • you plan the rest of your day at the bottom of the esculator
    • you enjoy playing 'let's get in the elevator before anyone gets out'
    • 50 baht is a lot of money
    • you don't think it's strange when your wife five spends 150 baht on gas to drive to the market that sells cucumbers 5 baht per kilo cheaper.
    • you pull onto the highway in front of the only visible car to the horizon thats going about 120 kph
    • you slow down to 40 and get into the right hand lane 2 km before the U turn.

  5. i'd say you're about to lose the long-term, serious one - which by your actions, speaks loud and clear that is what you wanted. For the most part, a Thai long-term serious can deal with an occasional short time. But you brought one home and had her stay with you. Yeah, anyone who has been here any length of time has had a crazy that was hard to deal with. What you've created is a moral dilemma that you want to end without pain. You're asking a lot.

  6. Not much you can do other than report distubing the peace to the police - it may or may not have the desired effect other than your neighbor with the dog(s) hating you forever. But you can avoid this happening again. Before you buy/rent a house, go there at night and spend a few hours parked in your car in front of the place and see what it feels/sounds like. You will probably be noticed but if anyone asked what you're doing there - tell the truth. Thais love to gossip so you'll find out everything you need to know before committing.

  7. I would suggest to your friend that he examine his relationship with the "mutual friend" that introduced him to this woman. Then, as a 3rd party to the matter, i would respect the wishes of your friend who wants to move on. You didn't say what chronic illness he has but If he enjoyed the relationship for as long as it lasted and thinks it was worth it, stop raining on his parade.

  8. I lived in Kauai for the first of my 16 years in Hawaii. One day, I was invited to lunch at the home of a local doctor I"d met. He asked if I had any food preferance and I told him no, I eat everything. Every time I've been asked a similar question since then I answer, I eat anything but poi.

    Your complaint sounds a lot like the classic defense for justifiable murder... "I kept telling her to put the cap back on the toothpaste and she wouldn't listen."

    Why don't you try making rice the way you like it and let her try it. If she agrees, teach her how to make it your way. If not, buy another rice cooker.

  9. I need to learn DreamWeaver to create websites for a graphic designer friend. If you are proficient in this program and willing to spend some time - for a reasonable fee, of course - to bring me up to a functional level please let me know how to contact you.

  10. Will this box be able to receive live snooker, american football and Ultimate Fighting Champ. (UFC) with original commentary?

    The site I currently use (without a box) can get snooker but the Thai commentary (dee - long lao; mai dee!) leaves a lot to be desired. The Thai commentary for buffalo fights in Isaan seem to be acceptable - of course I have nothing with which to compare.

  11. I'd like to toss True. So my research has led me to Jsat; TOT with xbmc and IPTV - all at different prices. I find that I am confused. For example, muratremix explained that he can get everything he wants in English with a practically free TOT box and additional programs but I have no idea how to decipher what he's saying.

    I'd like to be able to watch snooker, UFC, american football, baseball and nature stuff like discovery and nat geo on my TV. If there's a decent movie available when no sports programming is on, that's ok. But I'm otherwise happy to watch TV shows and movies on my computer.

    I live in Chiang Mai and my wi-fi connection speed is usually around 10.

    Just like Denzel Washington said in Philadelphia, can someone explain this to me like I'm in 3rd grade?

  12. As a former owner of a mortgage brokerage, I can say with some authority that lender's need to protect themselves from "flash-in-the-pan" successes. It's reasonable to want to see a track record. Why not wait and see if your company is for real for another year or so. If you really feel compelled to engage in conspicuous consumption, buy a Mercedes or a Porche and suffer in your existing house for a while.

  13. The gossip in the village is that the cow was a real slut and hoofed around very provocatively - just asking for it. Khun Ta was spending a small fortune on the cow and was deluded; thinking he owned her. But his love was unrequited. All she wanted was to make hay while the sun shined.

    When asked what made him love her he replied, "she gave the best cud I've ever had."

    The press will milk this story for weeks to come. Look for tomorrow's story "Two Fisted Love"

  14. Tug McGraw was an amazing pitcher who was instrumental in the Phillies winning the '80 World Series after coining the battle cry "ya gotta believe" for the Mets. He was once asked which he liked better; grass or astroturf to which he replied, "I never smoked astroturf".

    The grass always seems greener until you get to the other side and find it's astroturf. If you're happy where you are, life is good.

  15. My guess is that she doesn't trust that a washing machine in Thailand is grounded because she has expirience with using one that wasn't grounded and got a shock while emptying the machine with wet clothes and touching bare metal. My wife uses a wooden toss salad fork/spoon scisors type thing to empty the machine. She refuses to believe the machine is grounded and she won't get a shock. It's kinda cool though. Every time i see her at the machine, I sneak up behind her and poke her with a finger while yelling ZZzzzzzzttt! She jumps like hell.
