Thank you very much for comments. I did find a local shop who installed win 11 for me and I lost the files on the computer. Not so bad as important stuff is on Drive or Photos in a cloud. Still, not accepting a password, then changing it, then some parts of the system don't seem to get the new password so the whole recovery process starts again. This 2 stage verification is good if it is a phone number or email, but using a number generating app has not worked with FaceBook. I have only partially recovered that account and cannot be bothered any more. Thanks for comments. ๐ Rice harvest underway with a bumper crop๐ Drying rice; clear skies over the schoolyard here in Isaan.โค๏ธ

My facebook was hacked and in my misguided efforts to recover my FB account I have done something to windows 11 that makes a 'normal' windows recovery not work. (FB is still not right but I have given up for now) On the final screen there is an option to reinstall windows with or without apps and data removed. This is after the auto repair in all its variations have been exhausted. I imagine wifi is not connected and don't know if that has affected the repair and/or the reinstall option. There is no usb boot available and my efforts to enable it have failed (numerous YT methods tried). I could buy a code for win 11 from Lazada for <500B but don't know how I could install it w/o functioning wifi or usb. I live in rural Buriram Province, Isaan btw so IT shops are a rarity here. Thanks in advance for any comments๐คฏ๐

Thank you for your comments. I France I carried one card in a small wallet on a neck cord. Will do the same here. I am going to start using one card with a low limit and keep the balance on that account low too. Lazada and shopee used to have 2 factor id but it seems to have stopped. Is there a way to reactivate this service? Thanks again๐๐ผ

There is a method used to confuse and misdirect the public which is to flood the media with information of all kinds. True, false, outrageous, impossible, ridiculous and more it matters not. False information gets repeated and distorted and believed by people who have a vote. MJ Green has claimed that the government controls the weather and were sending to Republican areas of Florida. Trump said Haitians are eating dogs. For example. Both ridiculous but both have had serous consequences. Trump is already planning an insurrection and the vote numbers will not change that (unless he wins). The US is not our friend. America first is and always has been their motive. Never forget.๐๐ผ

Thanks Wiil B Good. I'll check at the bank about reducing the limit. Who is that monster in your picture window? If it is a joke this subscriber doesn't get it. Sorry, but this man will destroy the world given the chance and a bunch of inbred hillbillies might just give him the opportunity. The fate of the world may rest in the hands of a collection of US high school dropouts who have not travelled much beyond the end of their driveway. The man has been described as the biggest threat to world security; coming from the country that has been constantly at war since its conception. War is when the rich and powerful send the poor to defend their honour, or some such obscure reason. Peace๐๐ผ

1610 2024 I just got back from France where I experienced the growth of payment by contact with a card reader w/o the need for a pin, except occasionally. It happens here too but I did not realize it until my trip there. I have been walking around with lots of debit/credit cards in my pocket which, if lost, could bankrupt me.(!!!) I went to one of the banks here and asked if I could make my cards require 2 x confirmation by text or email and they said no, cannot. Is this true? I didn't press them at the bank about this as I have occasionally found bank employees not well versed in answers to unusual questions. I have 3 banks, not because I have lots of money; living in a rural community means a local bank, a main BKK city bank and one more for some forgotten reason. They all function equally well (or other) and I have thought that a solution could be to use one card only for purchases in person or online. Then just transfer only enough funds to cover purchases as they are made or anticipated. Leaving all other cards in a safe place at home. I bought a card holder wallet with a neck cord in France and that is where my cards live now, safe(ish) from lost. Any ideas about insisting on a 2 factor ID from a Thai Bank? I have not enquired beyond asking one bank so there may be a simple solution; hope so. I have been caught up with an authenticator (google) app that issues codes that are not accepted so that is not a good solution for me just now. Any comment very welcome, thankyouverymuch.๐คฏ๐๐ผ

ADHD? Here is a TEDx talk by a young woman who was diagnosed adhd and how she is coping with it. This vid is about 6 years old and is still very relevant. She has published a book by the same title and has many many YouTube videos. Help is on the way. 'Official' estimates in the west have around 12% of children affected by this condition. Some experts (physicians, neurologist, physiologists etc.), however, suggest that as many of 50% of adults may have this condition in the west but have adapted or masked some symptoms. For you clowns who want to dwell on prescribed 'speed' please inform yourselves about this condition and its remedies. Ignorance is boring and offensive.

Goodmorning Sheryl, Thank you. Do you know of any groups or organizations that address adhd here in Thailand? Canada has taken adhd seriously and there are many such groups there.

Advice on purchase of older toyota/isusu 4x4 2 door pickup

I PM you about your pickup๐๐ผ -
07 10 2024 My Niece has several months off school and it looks like she will spend the whole time in front of the tv or glued to her phone. She is healthy and does ok at school but is a big zero re other activities. Her elder sister just graduated from nursing college and I would do the same for 'Jam' if she keeps her grades up. Is there anything the we could do to encourage her to do something, anything that is other than zoning out of real life on the net. If there was some kind of sport club or camp she could go to I would pay for it or other activities that could tempt her out of the Net. Any ideas please? Free activities or paid clubs or ? This is not just for now; it would be good to introduce her to other ideas and activities for life that will remain with her for life. (Her mother, very nice and hard working, will not force her to do do anything) Thanks very much๐๐ผ

Thanks for your comment IsaanExpat. I am in the northern tip of Buriram province and the patois here is the Laos/Thai variety whereas in Buriram town, 90 km south, it is Kimir/Thai. I will continue and try what suggest. I just went to France for a month and spoke bad French the whole time. I have not spoken French for 10 years. It has encouraged me to try a little harder with Thai even with Executive Function problems. Are you in the US now? Thanks again for your interest.๐๐ผ

Advice on purchase of older toyota/isusu 4x4 2 door pickup
notrub replied to notrub's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Thanks Steve, Yes, I thought a 2 door (or any) pickups with auto would be rare but, if you don't ask you don't get, as a tenant once said to me a long time ago. My mechanical skills are advanced enough to know my limitations and keep away from the areas that require professional attention. Replacing drive trains, springs, brakes and other bolt on stuff is ok but engine insides I leave to the professionals. I would be willing to buy a truck without a certificate and carry out repairs here at home if anybody you know has one. I don't mind about receipts; a truck used locally for normal small pickup work will be evident by its condition (I think). Thanks for your comment. -
03 10 2024, I would like to buy an older Toyota, or similar, 4x4, 2 door pickup (that has been little used by one careful owner 555) and am seeking advice on the best make and model year please. Is there a best make, model, year that I should be looking for and also what to avoid please? It appears that high milage pickups that are just standard are being offered at 100-130k while the tricked out units are really silly prices. I would like a standard truck to keep and use locally on the farm for a long time. Anybody got an ok one for sale? I m in Buriram Province but would travel for a reasonably priced example (auto if pos). Thanks in advance for any comments๐๐ผ
