Very unfortunate of course. I noticed there was no mention of the driver taking off.

When the palms of my feet sweat.

Is Nutella healthy? I thought I heard negative things about it before.

I deleted my Facebook account over eight years ago. Given today's increasing censorship and ambiguity with regards towards street protests & policy within the corporate state that is the US, I'll go with independent credible  media any day. You know, ones that provide references rather than just cultural wars and 'dog whistles' sowing division among the weak minded.

One of the last reasons for keeping Facebook is because of using it as a newsstream. I don’t post any selfies or status update, and I don’t wanna see any of those or my friends. I just enjoy the stream of news. The other one I’m using is Google News. 

Interesting. I'm the total opposite. Prefer news from independent media without such a company that not only censors independent media but is clearly politically influenced.

Always sort of amazed at the amount of names or nicknames people have here. I have had only one all me life...

If I recall awhile back a local area wanted people to stop fishing in the lake so they put a picture up with a water monitor fishing with an 'X' through it.

Maybe they should put up a new sign in this market with a water monitor not wearing a mask as an indication of the need to wear one. Or is that too direct?

Nothing is gonna change my love for you. I know it now!

Oh no was the video just acting and he turns out to be gay? 555 And now talking about sexual favors are the norm. Oh my g...

What is the world comin to now that Rush has died and now the truth has come out the music industry. Is that virus still out and about?

Listen to him for almost thirty years while drivin the big rigs!

I liked his style in politics! He like others, exposed the establishment and media through out his career while having one hand tied behind his back just to make it fair.

RIP

555 Couldn't one say he is part of the establishment? Or maybe you prefer another sports team? He also never debated much, if I'm not mistaken.

Can they be recycled?

None of the online services are working today 20210219.

 

My personal experience in the last 2 years is that 90 day online reporting doesn't work more often than it works.

 

IB get away with incompetence because most people don't complain.

 

Furthermore, the documentation requirements for reporting by mail are nonsense. If these documents are not required to be submitted for online reporting, why should they be required for reporting by mail.

 

IB fills giant warehouses with hundreds of multiples of document copies it does not require and which nobody ever looks at.

I appreciate this post. For sometime now, I have wondered about what they do with all of the paperwork they collect. Rationally, if I already have previously submitted the document you should have a copy of it already. Why must I go and pay for another one the next time around?

Regardless and whatever the circumstance, I think I place my blame towards a bureaucracy that profits off of such matters.

Frankly, it's ridiculous for them not to have the website smoothly up and running. Readily available for the thousands of people who need it that have the decency to go about it the right way.

7's coffee overall seems to have good reviews & I agree. I prefer going the route of buying quality ground coffee to be made anytime with a coffee maker, on demand. (I keep one in my backpack - joking) Consistency will be the same.

Overall, with 7's coffee and the plentiful choices for ground coffee to be bought online, there are many better economical choices with quality, than Starbucks.

I have to agree with you there.

What about compared with Japanese? I figured Japanese have even stranger demands for taste than Yanks! Egg and yogurt!? Come on, man..

As far as quality ground coffee made at the home office, I recommend the following:

Oddly enough my daughters English teacher at her school is Thai. Her English is shockingly bad. My daughter (fluent in both English and Thai) has been disciplined in the past for correcting this Thai teachers woeful English.

I can assure you my daughter would make a better English teacher than her. With or without a degree.  

You've just discovered something some folks can't quite 'get' yet! Particularly, NON-NES, imo.

One with skill and aims for improvement can overachieve and excel further than one who has been content on old ideologies, bureaucratic paperwork within a culture of 'saving face.'

A real teacher of value knows paperwork and 'qualifications' are not the final ingredient nor guarantee results in producing results in learners. However, we are in Thailand.

He never really debated anyone did he? For example his views versus someone who is a well spoken progressive or even someone with such statue such as Chris Hedges.

Nope I don't think Rush was much into that. I'll be corrected though if I'm mistaken.

not sure! i don't see tourists travelling to  korat just for the dubious pleasure of eating pizza with a leaf of marijuana on it! i don't know (because i don't use any illicite drug) but marijuana can be found everywhere in thailand, i think

Yeah especially if it's already legal in their home country or state...

The bottom line is the GOV wants to make a profit and they can from all angles..

Reminds of the sort of experience where you always check and double check and then one day in the future, you don't and whoop there it is! Hopefully you can get it fixed easily and in and out.

Those long queues are a pain..Eat up!

Yeah hopefully under the Biden administration there will be some justice and correct disciplinary actions taken. Not to mention compensation.

I say this with respect...I really don't have respect for Thai teachers anymore...
