How Fast Can You Touch Type? Does It Matter Now?
kwonitoy replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
My Jr. High science teacher taught us to type in 1970, 71 Didn't really use it untill I bought my first laptop in 1996, sat down closed my eyes and typed the alphabet successfully , still in there after 25 years. I can touch type up to about 50 wpm and thank Mr French for that ability every day. I worked in a computer heavy job from 1995 until 2020, can't see how people do it without touch typing I taught my son how to type with the help from an online system, he says it's invaluable. I don't understand why they don't make typing instruction universal in school -

Nato: Warm words but a diplomatic reality check for Ukraine
kwonitoy replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Your feeling don't align with the facts https://thehill.com/policy/international/3693846-most-ukrainians-support-fighting-until-war-is-won-survey/ The offensive is working in Ukraine's favor, it's not a TV series or movie. Offensive's against a entrenched enemy take time unless you use invader tactics and try and send conscripts to their death in a frontal push. -
Arrested for Overstay by Immigration Police
kwonitoy replied to Banana7's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
The Canadian government can do anything they want to my, yours, or your friends passport, that's because we do not own them. Read page 1 of your passport, "This passport is the property of the Government of Canada" They can cancel it, revoke it or do anything they want with it without anyone's permission or notification because they own it, not us Trying to sue the government over this is I think futile, I would be interested to see the outcome of the case though. Good on your friend for catching up on the child care though -
Arrested for Overstay by Immigration Police
kwonitoy replied to Banana7's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
So, A problem of entirely his own fault. Not some grand conspiracy case of the Bangkok embassies incompetence and poor service and ineptitude I dealt with the Bangkok Canadian embassy for 25 years, multiple passports, registering my son for citizenship, Canadian visa for my then wife. All done courteously and efficiently. I have been in the embassy and seen some epic meltdowns by people that aren't prepared/expect some premium service that embassies don't provide. Is the CBC still going to do an investigative article about the dead beat dad? He'll won't be able to renew his drivers license and vehicle registration also without paying his past child support Good luck trying to sue the government -
We seem to live in the era of clickbait headlines, scream some silly, cherry picked facts to attract eyeballs. According to statcan, New Brunswick population in 2023 is estimated to be 787,014 people What is happening in tiny New Brunswick affects the population of Canada not at all and certainly is not causing "political turmoil in Canada"

His room didn't get into this kind of state in one day. So, as a single father, as am I, also with full parental powers, with an 11 year old Thai/Canadian son where are your housekeeping standards? My son and I mop the floors together and vacuum the rugs, he does the laundry because I taught him how to do so, have you? I show him how to cook and buy food, change a light switch, build Ikea furniture, etc, you know dad things speak to him respectfully and it will be returned My son and I say please and thank you and your welcome to each other because I taught being polite is free and beneficial, and I try lead by example You've obviously ignored this for weeks if not longer and then expect him to tidy it when you decide Get your son, and together tidy the place up together, set a standard, follow it yourself and he might also. It won't sink in a day but keep that standard up. If I was your kid I'd go to moms place also Learn some dad skills and lose the "It's my way because I say so"

First Thai ID for a Thai/Foreigner child
kwonitoy replied to afuentes's topic in Family and Children
When I did my son's ID card it was quite simple. Go to the amphur office and get his picture taken in the office and they make the plastic card right there, much like getting your drivers license -
Required strength CBD oil for a good night sleep
kwonitoy replied to Kenny202's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
The first one, I took the entire gummy and within 30 minutes I was out and more importantly to me, stayed asleep for 6 hours. Felt great the next morning with no hangover like effects. The second one I tried once with about the same results. There are a ton of options with gummies and oils in the shops and different shops have different suppliers so I will be slowly experimenting. -
Required strength CBD oil for a good night sleep
kwonitoy replied to Kenny202's topic in Thailand Cannabis Forum
As an aid for sleep this topic interests me and I did a little research at my local dispensaries, I'm in Alberta, Canada where all this is legal and tightly controlled The first pic is of a gummy I tried last night and it worked like a charm, best sleep I've had in years and no after affects in the morning It was advised that this is for relaxation That one has a combination of THC 5mg, CBN of 2.5mg, very nice elderberry taste and 30 min after taking I was out. Gummy with bic lighter for scale. The second one I bought today after yesterdays good results. This one is sold as a sleep aid. CBN of 5mg, CBG of 5mg and CBD of 20mg Trying it tonight. Agree with @Kenney 202, these things look and taste just like kids candy, so if you've got little ones about put them in a safe place -
Repatriation of property sales proceeds
kwonitoy replied to pj123's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Not at present. Take taxes paid form from the sale of the house as provided by the land office, to the bank and you will be able to transfer that amount out of Thailand -
Your pension numbers are a bit off. Moved back to Alberta after 25 years out of the system, 28 out of 40 years of eligibility. CPP, OAP, GIS total of 2660 CDN dollars per month, plus child care, plus rental subsidies, plus GST credits, plus Carbon tax credits I've been out of the Canadian system for a long time and I am constantly amazed at the amount of money they give me.

I worked on a PTT pipeline constructed by Bechtel in the late 90's, our yard was in the Rangsit area. All project vehicles had a little round red sticker in the upper windshield, from the local police general in charge of the area. At police checkpoints we got waved through and even saluted by some officers. Don't know what it cost, but Bechtel is very good at greasing the wheels, so to speak

Upholstery odour neutraliser - Any recommendations?
kwonitoy replied to Crossy's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Febreze is good for the surface if you get to the spill quickly. If it's soaked into the foam of your seat a steam cleaner would work better -
I renewed my son's Thai passport in Udon Thani before covid, so 2019 or so. I too have full parental powers and that document along with the usual envelope full of documents was enough for me to renew his passport. They initially said the same as you, but my wife was in prison, documents supplied to attest to that, and that took care of that objection. I think it's the usual bureaucratic refusal to do something because it causes less problems for themselves, their taking the easy way for themselves, not you.

Usually it's a prison sentence + monetary fine. My ex got life + 2,000,000 baht fine, reduced to 25 years and 1,000,000 baht fine for confessing. Kings pardons reduce time, being a model prisoner reduce time, crowded prisons reduce time. If you don't have the money or can't raise it, its is worked off at the rate of 200 baht per day in extra time in the monkey house. She served 9 years and was released into family supervision (not me) Don't know how the money was paid off and I don't really care.

Coming along nicely after more than 2 years after I put up the OP, should be open around 2026 or so. Very roomy inside when you remove all the seats

Pouting land seller
kwonitoy replied to NorthernRyland's topic in Real Estate, Housing, House and Land Ownership
Offer him a price of your own, eg. he's asking 1 million, offer him 850,000 baht cash if possible meet us at the bank scenario If I'm selling something I put a price on it, if someone says can you do better I'll say make me an offer, why would I lower my asking price without a negotiation?
