I'm not sure what's typical, but I've usually paid a deposit initially, and then, when everything is ready to do, I go to the real estate office on the day of the move, pay the balance, and they give me the keys. And they pick me up from my old place and move me to my new place. Usually, though, I don't have much to move.

Not every restaurant is hooked up with every delivery service, so depending on what you want, you might not have much choice. And some services seem to have specials, with reduced delivery fees. Mostly, I don't care, as I give them a nice tip. Those people work hard.

True, in my experience. I had a great childhood, although at the time it didn't seem particularly great. Just something I never thought about one way or the other. Anyway, some of the kids I went to school with came from "old money." At the time, I didn't know what "old money" was. We were just kids. Anyway, the old money kids weren't at all pretentious. You'd never know their grandparents started a NYSE company.

What surprises me is that anyone is seriously asking this question.

Whatever these things are, it seems rather obvious that the situation is not "normal,' and that the government must surely know much more than they're saying. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to wake up. Still, why worry about it? If nothing else, it's an entertaining distraction. There's not much you can do about it.

I always keep 800K in a Thai bank. I still pay an agent. 8000 baht is no big deal. t's not complicated. I pay money and avoid the annoyance. I

For me, I'd simply rather pay an agent. and have ZERO wait and no real possibility of getting anything wrong. If the choice was between paying an agent and being done with it or going to Immigration with my paperwork and taking the chance that they might find some problem, I'll pay the agent every time. One less thing I have to think about.

Social Security will likely be the last thing they cut, and if they do, those cuts will likely be phased in over a number of years. The easier cuts will come from Medicare and Medicaid. Those are easier targets.

Somewhere online I saw a video of a drone leaving a long trail of dust or whatever. And measurements are now showing increased radiation levels in some areas. Maybe there's a connection.

Why? Some of the drones are US drones that are up there trying to figure out what the "orbs" are all about. The ones with lights are complying with typical FAA regulations? Or, it's all part of a PsyOP and they want to be seen to induce as much public hysteria as possible. The end game is to shut down the country with a national emergency sometime between now and the inauguration of Trump. Military law and no new President.

The next one, if they start throwing nukes around. Maybe a bit longer than 10 minutes, but bot much.

I don't really follow the QAnon stuff. But if they're talking about lizard people, then yes, that's a possibility.

Who knows? Whatever they are, I'm not feeling any danger from them. As for the "drones" everyone is seeing. That may be a big deal. What seems plausible is that they are US drones "sniffing" for a stray nuke that was sent to the US from Europe.

Some people think that they did survive and evolve and left Earth a long time ago. They come back once in a while to check things out.

Once in the US I wanted to sell a car because I was leaving town the next day. So I priced it right, put up an ad on Craigslist, and had it sold in about two minutes. The people that bought it got the deal of a lifetime.

Agreed. I think he's talking about the kind of "war" that will be over and done with in 10 minutes.

I'm pretty sure Planet Earth isn't harboring a galactic rebel base. So, no need for that. We're lucky, I think. Whatever it is, we may be finding out soon.

People shouldn't get all hung up on the speed of light and the space/time thing. It's real. to be sure, but probably doesn't tell the whole story. We live in but one of many universes. Whatever these things are that seem to be visiting, it's happening all over the world and they're making no effort to hide. Do people create fakes? Sure, but they can't all be fake. Nor can all the videos currently popping up online. Something is happening. I don't think they're dangerous. If they have the technology to get here, they surely have the technology to obliterate planet Earth, if that's what they want to do.

Again, those people have jobs. Trump's first order of business will be to deport the known criminals and those who have been ordered to leave. Supposedly, there are millions of them, that they know about. after those millions are gone, we'll see what comes next. No one is arguing that some that are here illegally can't find jobs. Businesses love them.

Well, at least they seem to be acknowledging their presence. But what are they, really? Several theories. 1. They're Chinese drones sold to Iran that are based on a "mother ship" off the US East Coast. Plausible, perhaps, but I don't buy it. They seem veery sophisticated, or at least some of them do, and the military doesn't seem too worried about them or the risk they might pose. 2. Russian drones? Probably not. Again, the response has been cautious and seemingly minimal. 3. Drones produced by US military contractors that are being used in response to a nuclear or biological threat of some sort. Since the Pentagon isn't officially involved, the Pentagon can deny any involvement. This would explain why there's no real effort to shoot them down. 4. As above, but the US technology is being put on display as part of a massive PsyOp to prevent the inauguration of Trump. Declare a national emergency, declare martial law, stop the new administration before it even starts. 6. Real alien technology, here to keep humanity from destroying itself.

Those are the ones with jobs, correct? The rest cost everyone big money. And the country is almost bankrupt as it is.

When I was a little kid, I used to have a similar reaction to eating oatmeal, especially after doing some exercise or playing outside. The doctor prescribed something similar to Benadryl. Anyway, I learned to avoid oatmeal and did OK that way, although they sometimes put oatmeal in food as one of the ingredients, and if you're not careful what you eat, you can end up in trouble. For example, I don't eat multi-grain bread. So, I'm not sure what caused the allergy in San Diego, but it fits the usual pattern for me. Food allergen + exercise = reaction. The Japanese food I ate was a Yakatori lunch. It came with some rice and a small salad, I believe. Anyway, unless they somehow made the glaze using oatmeal as in ingredient, who knows? I'm pretty sure the lunch had something to do with it.

He may not be successful for various reasons, but I'm pretty sure the people he will be deporting don't do much to help the economy, in any event. They're costing the taxpayers big money.

One time, I ate lunch at a Japanese restaurant in San Diego and an hour or so later took a long walk on the beach. About half an hour into the walk I had a very strong allergic reaction to something, presumably something in the food I recently ate. I started to itch all over, my eyes were swollen almost shut. I was having trouble breathing. It was bad. I should have gone to the hospital, but I just went home, went to bed and didn't move. I think in was anaphylactic shock? Anyway, I usually don't have a reaction to Japanese food, but who knows what they put in there. Too much MSG? Something in that food about did me in.

No. Real robots doing menial tasks. It's coming, I think. Those robots are better than you think. It all seems crazy to me, but look into it. Robots won't cost much at all, compared to a human.
