I make my own with a few shots of fresh espresso from the machine, and then add in the mint flavoring as well as some fresh half cream. Adding some grated chocolate and a sprig of mint to the top with a little whipped cream.....a nice desert drink, but way to much damned sugar if you buy it at a coffee shop.

Flatulence

The latest and biggest war crime you meant to say, right? The man and his visions are starting to destroy more and more lives, all for what? The last line is rhetorical by the way.

As the population grows, not only with Thais, but those here on work permits, as well as Expats, and then the migrant workers the hospitals and clinics have become very busy. Yesterday I had an appointment at BNH hospital in BKK, and by noon the entire building was filled with people arriving or already there for appointments. My appointment which was for 8:30 am did not happen until 9:30 am, and then the blood work which normally takes just an hour to have run took 3 hours. This in itself indicates as the article (OP) indicates there is a need for additional providers. One wonders why they do not hire foreign healthcare workers. I have never seen anyone working as a nurse, a lab tech, or a physician who is not Thai.

Seems like I remember that happening on a P's phone while he was in Parliament, oh wait he was looking at the explicit websites himself on a State owned phone.....Seems that nothing is safe from hacker.

Oh the sarcasm is strong in this one. Yes he committed a Coup and then placed himself in power. He was not elected by the people, but rather chosen by the Senate which he installed. So yes, he stole the country by using force and then has held it hostage for the past 9 years.

Malaria

As we have discussed before it was only a matter of time before an annual boost/vaccination for Covid would be developed and needed. Still waiting to see what the actual language will say. The articles below indicate the need for simplification much like is already done on an annual basis with the flu vaccine and others. Just proposals but I venture to say they will see the light of day https://creakyjoints.org/living-with-arthritis/coronavirus/covid-19-vaccines/fda-simplify-covid-strategy/ Experts believe this is one step toward creating an annual COVID-19 shot for most Americans. In another proposed new plan, an annual vaccine dose would be matched to circulating strains of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, similar to the flu shot, per STAT News. Two doses would be given to immunocompromised individuals, older people, and children. https://www.webmd.com/vaccines/covid-19-vaccine/news/20230124/fda-wants-an-annual-covid-vaccine Having an annual COVID-19 shot, alongside the flu shot, could make it simpler for doctors and health care providers to share vaccination recommendations and reminders, according to Leana Wen, MD, a public health professor at George Washington University and former Baltimore health commissioner. “It would be easier [for primary care doctors and other health care providers] to encourage our patients to get one set of annual shots, rather than to count the number of boosters or have two separate shots that people have to obtain,” she says.

You might want to look into the news an outside of the MSM for news, for it is well known she has made statements indicating she is anti immigrant https://americanindependent.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-citizen-cosponsors-anti-immigrant-bill-republicans-immigration/ Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is pushing the public to “citizen co-sponsor” her extreme anti-immigrant bill, which has thus far received zero cosponsors in Congress, a mostly symbolic move that will have “little practical consequence,” according to one expert. Greene introduced the bill, the “Protect America First Act,” on Friday. The legislation calls for a four-year moratorium on all immigration; full funding for and construction of the southern border wall; expedited removal of undocumented immigrants; revocation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which protects from deportation undocumented people brought to the United States as children; and a revival of Donald Trump’s zero tolerance immigration policy, which led to thousands of children being separated from their families, among other harsh anti-immigrant measures. https://uproxx.com/viral/marjorie-taylor-greene-climate-change-migrants/ From there, no one is sure what to make of this display. “Bless your heart” is one cutting response, and no one knows what Greene’s point is, other than putting her anti-immigration spin on everything.

But, but, but, I gave myself immunity from anything I did while in office.....it's right there in a bill I passed, says Prayut.

Wow. Marjorie you yourself are a natural disaster. Where does she come up with her amazing views. Talk about someone who is anti Immigrant....sheesh.

The ones that I know of here already do fall into that class as many are at that age where they may travel once in awhile but many choose to stay here in country. I myself am at the young end of the spectrum for the retiree class. Those that did not need to buy the annuity have an annual 80K USD a year or more pension, are self insured or have an insurance plan that meets the requirements. I have lived in the Philippines and enjoy living here. My Plan has always been to travel 3 months elsewhere, then 3 months here and so on. Prior to my LTR WP (LTR-P) I had an O-A Visa which I ended up doing an extension of stay on because of Covid. Had I continued with obtaining the Non Imm O-A Visa in the US, redoing it every 2 years, the total cost with a ME Re-entry permit for the second year you can get by leaving and returning just prior to the end of the 1st year, would have run me just about the same price for 10 years. For me the LTR was a no-brainer.

Your wrong with that view. There are plenty of us already here who have the new Visa class.

As we all have said, it isn't about the time spent putting it all in the system, but it is about what the LTR Visa brings to the table for us. The other issue which we have discussed in the OP is that you can stay in the country for the next ten years, if you wish without leaving, and you only need to do a 1 year report, and we will not pay any annual extension fees like you would with an Elite Visa. At the end of the 5th year it is just a resubmission of what's already in our files, and the paperwork they gave us all, after approval, indicating the Visa type and no further monies are needed , and we are good for another 5 years. As @Pib has stated at the end of the 10th year it is a recycle of our documents showing we still comply and off we go for another ten years for only 50K Thb. So for me it was a no brainer. With the changes to my Wifes Visa status, as we are now married, and the upcoming documentation under the dependent category, we will then be able to travel in and out without her needing a re-entry permit to keep her soon to be old extension of stay (Myanmar) from expiring.

Reading some other information on other sites. It appears Putin's intentional bombing of the dam was meant to stop the Ukrainian counteroffensive, but by doing this he has committed his largest war crime atrocity.

Pence would be a good candidate if he could shake of the problems of being associated with his former president, and the negative views many have of him doing nothing to set the story straight.

We're they asked to come in to discuss the ongoing investigation possibly? The only times lawyers show up at another attorneys location is to either discuss the case against there client before an indictment, to reach an out of court settlement, deliver some court related documents either requested, or a serve a notice to the other attorney issued by a court. One can only wonder if the other shoe is ready to drop and the case to enter an indictment.

The sun will be shining but not in Trumps house I am afraid. The poor man..... https://www.allsides.com/news/2023-06-01-1620/politics-trump-caught-tape-saying-he-should-ve-declassified-document-about-iran Former President Donald Trump was reportedly caught on audiotape bemoaning the fact that he did not declassify a secret plan for potential U.S. military attacks on Iran — contradicting his claims that he declassified all the documents he took from the White House.

The following portions of the linked article show that we as a human race still have a long way to go in accepting folks for who they are in this world. "Among the countries surveyed, the survey shows more than half of respondents said they support same-sex marriage where it is legal." "The majority of respondents in 26 countries said same-sex couples are as likely to raise children successfully as other parents, according to the survey." "Boyon told CNN he was surprised there was more support for transgender people in countries like Thailand, Italy, and Spain compared with the United States, Eastern Europe, and Great Britain."

Crop....

The gloating and privilege that Trump thinks he should be able to have and do will be the complete and final stitch in his indictment cases, thus sealing them shut with no way to escape the legal and justice system.

She definitely has made the flip backwards. She is desperately looking for validation and trying to shield the Donald as well as the MAGAites. She does understand that there are many videos already out there on social media showing the breeches of the Capitol, doesn't she?
