And you loved every second regardless of your groaning protestations.

Well, good that she has the sense to push from the back of the chair. She's a keeper mate!

What does your neuropathy have to do with it?

I read a lot of Dickens in high school, and you're right. It's more understandable when you know he was paid by the word and wrote a lot of it in installments for some publisher. Every pence counts ya know. Makes me wonder if AN is paying GG by the word too.

Indeed. I fund my wise account and currently get over 4% interest while it sits there. Then I transfer some to BBL (no BBL fee) whenever the thb weakens, like now.

Clean bathroom and working AC. Most else is optional unless I'm staying a long time.

Some netizens are easily mesmerized it seems. Maybe it's the parents that need the magic elixirs. ????

He had a good point IMO. Although parents everywhere are proud of their kids, some Thai people take it to a new level. I'm amused at how many of the ads on Thai TV revolve around marvelous elixirs that promise incredible physical and mental powers evolving if they are fed religiously to the children. Of course most are just colored sugar water or flavored milks. They tout any vitamins or minerals intrinsic to the drinks as proprietary additives. From the number of such ads I suspect these things sell well.

Renting has multiple pitfalls as well. Owning has multiple benefits. Visa issues are irrelevant to owning or renting long term. Many of us own homes here and are happy to have control of their dwelling and environment. Up to you. Your choices are often going to be different than others. Blanket statements are rarely helpful or accurate.

Habituation is categorically different from addiction. Stop drinking coffee and you experience the true addiction withdrawal symptoms.

Firecrackers are cheap and safe. After a few episodes the dogs will flee when you pull out the lighter. Additionally it will annoy the dog owner. You don't have to throw at the dog, just dop a few in your own driveway.

As bizarre as it sounds, given the way things work here it may be the best solution. Though I've seen numerous posts about such problems yours is a unique answer. In the end probably the fastest and easiest way to solve the problem.

The exact formula is proprietary but it contains petroleum distillates, similar to lacquer and paint thinners. I'd sure be hesitant to rub into my skin.

What the CCP cannot gain with soft power they will gain with force. This aggression will only end in war because eventually some country will be forced to fight. The CCP sees every facet of society as a battlefield and every country an adversary to be conquered. It's just the way they roll.

If you are desparately in need of anything, this is the wrong country to be in. Relying on anybody here for anything is a mistake. You are more likely to be scammed, robbed, thrown in jail, or simply ignored.

Agreed. But it actually started years ago with the 'challenges' that killed kids and has progressed to the point of utter idiocy. They are now nothing but a metastasizing cancer on the internet.

I had the same problem, once, for 30 seconds. Thanks for the tip. Here's another one that's not so obvious: when pouring from a bottle remove the cap first. See how much better that works? I'd been breaking the necks off the bottles for several years before a convenience store clerk clued me in.

How clever. I just got lucky I guess because I have used a watch to tell time for the last 60 years and have never turned on my phone to get the time. Again, pure luck because my phone stays on my dresser most of the time and I keep my back pockets clean. I even remember when watches didn't need batteries. Just think of that!

You desparately need to get a different hobby.

Not confusing. I just choose not to swim in those cesspools.

Thanks but I don't do FakeBook or others of its ilk. No big loss.

Great story link if one can read Thai. I can't.

Wow. How sad. Gaining hits is so very important too. How do you get through the day after that?

What nonsense! On regular basis scientists confirm Einstein's work. Gravitational lensing is a good example. His very earliest work showing that light can also manifest in particle form is another. That has long been accepted as demonstrably correct from the simplest of experiments. To date his grossest error was a refusal to accept his own findings, which laid the groundwork for quantum theory. Oh, and he also suffered the God Delusion. Hey nobody is perfect.
