    Well in that case forget the kissing and get her to use her lips in others ways, to get you revved up for action as you put it.  Just don't overdue the throttle though on the high performance models as you can experience blow back ????

    I actually prefer your standard 4 on the floor sleek petite model, gets good mileage per compliment, quality head gasket, almost flush headlights, and purring motor on regular ethanol mix fuel (no large guzzlers).  Of course, I always first check under the hood for a modified tranny as those can be a pain to deal with, require extra lube service, and can lead to a thrown rod.

  2. Have rented a condo across the street from KMUTT University for my 2 kids for this coming school year and need to choose an internet provider.  Choices are True, AIS, and 3BB.  A lot of classes are online and they are Gamers.  Looking for 1Gbps up/down.  Any input good or bad on each of these choices are appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

    I knew my post would bring out the America haters. Funny we're not all still using Nokia phones and driving Volvo/Saab cars, and all our computers and phones running on Erickson networks and software, and everyone shopping at IKEA online. Switzerland the land of chocolate, watches, and bank fraud/tax evasion; and South Korea the suicide capitol of the world...good social model there. Yes, America has 30T in debt BECAUSE foreigners can't get enough of it and every Treasury Department debt auction is massively oversubscribed.  It seems like you are the only one concerned about this debt. The rest of the world knows there's no other place that's a better store of value than the Dollar, which is backed up by the biggest and most innovative economy in the world.

    Dated, but still true:

     

     

  4. Reporting back after picking up my laptop 24hrs after dropping off at Befixed, 2nd floor Mee Chock plaza. Fans and keyboard replaced for 500 baht (I provided the parts I brought back from the US).  I gave him 600 as I knew he had to spend a lot of time on this.  Very friendly guy who does good work, I definitely recommend.

    Does he look at the computer on the spot or do you have to leave it with him. What does he charge?

     

    Thanks...

    So changing out the fans and keyboard of a 2018 Dell Alienware 17 R4 laptop.  He will have to breakdown the unit to taking the motherboard out.  Gave him the parts, just too intricate of a deconstruction for my taste.  Will report back on how it goes and price.

  6. Have a higher end 17 inch Alienware laptop where the keyboard and cooling fans (very noisy over time, common problem) need to be replaced.  I have the replacement parts but after watching a couple of Youtube videos where experienced guys were taking 20 - 30min just to breakdown the machine to the level of replacing the items, I would like to defer this to a shop that repairs such as a normal course of business.  Any recommendations in CM?  Thanks in advance as always!

  7. Just my luck, applied for and received my Thaipass (vaccinated) for a May 17th arrival not 3 days before the change starting May 1st was announced. I assume I can cancel the SH+ hotel and the PCR test to get a refund but have not seen that previously granted Thaipass are able to do that.  Anybody think there might be a disqualification of my Thaipass if I do that?  Thanks in advance as always.

    Hi Doctor. Do you mean that you take HALF of a 20mg Micardis ie 10mg, as the recommended dose is 40mg or even 80mg. And half of a 2.5 mg Amlodepine? Thanks.

    Just bought Micardis @ Bht 650 for 30 x 40mg. Is that good or not.

    Amounts quoted as taking are already the 1/2 cut pills dosage.  Original pills dosages before cutting are 40mg Micardis, 5mg Amlodepine, and 25mg Chlorthalidone.  Don't have each medicine broken out as I buy the 3 medicines together and get 1 total.  When I worked out the 45 cents USD per day the baht was 30 to 1 USD given the number of dosages I purchased (about 1 yrs worth in 1 shot).  Overseas right now so don't have access to the purchase slip.

  9. Looking for a tutor in upper level HS Japanese for English speaking daughter.  Daughter is a very good student but is struggling with Japanese 3.  We live near NIS.  Japanese teacher's other teaching obligations after school has her unavailable for after school tutoring.  Please private message me if interested or know of someone.  Thanks in advance!

  10. Galaxy Note 10+ 1.25 terabytes of memory, what doesn't it do? Use it for business (can sit and have a beer making money while the wife spends 1.5hrs roaming the wet market), communications with family/friends overseas, banking (highest level of paid security), investing, entertainment (kudos on the speaker qual), language translator (Lens app is a lifesaver), road map, magnifying glass, compass, altimeter, bubble level, fitness tracker, calendar, can tell me what star I'm looking at, has all the office productivity software of a computer, print to my printer at home no matter where I am, heck if I could emulate win10-powerful enough to run my business software, takes stunning pics, oh ya, and it's a phone.

     

    Depends on what your needs are, for me it is a single mobile handheld replacement for my computer/camera/etc. If your retired, have no business going on, not a photo bug, and not super comfortable with tech, then there is no need for you to pay for such a phone.  Take a few minutes and figure out what your needs are and find a phone that fits them.

  11. Report from Southern California on boosters.  The rumors of just walking into a pharmacy and get a shot are no longer true.  You have to make an online appt where the software calculates when you can get your booster shot and sets you up an appt.  Some pharmacy's web sites won't even let you sign up until your eligibile.  Luckily, the booster time is down to 5mo from second shot so have an appt in a couple of weeks for the Pfizer booster, Moderna was not a choice as a booster on the pharmacy site I used.

    You should have both.  You had to have the certificate to get the yellow book.  I think of the yellow book for use for domestic travel and the actual certificate as proof for international travel.  Heading to the US early tomorrow.  Will post what the airline (JAL) wants to see.

    Reporting back as promised.  JAL. Wants you to use an app called Verify to upload all the necessary info (which included the hospital certificate AND an attestation to no COVID the US wants you to have printed out and signed) before you get to the airport to leave.  Worked perfect, no one asked for paperwork once I showed the approved Verify pass on my phone  If going to LAX, there is a quick survey you must fill out online before you arrive, QR code JAL gives you takes you to it.  I literally walked through immigration at LAX armed with just my passport and Verify.  Only negative thing is jet lag kicking my booty, never had it this bad.
