Think of it as moving down a one way street. Impart your knowledge and move on. Don't look back at the silly icons. Pearls before swine(sheep?).

As with so many houses, at least in my area outside Hua Hin, several of the 60cm floor tiles have lifted. It started after a prolonged dry and hot spell a few months long. We notices one day several tiles lifted and loose. I'm guessing that the concrete foundation shrank and the tiles expanded, both from heat. We don't air condition the entire house. After many became loose, I lifted them and found the reason: they had been laid without mortar on the concrete floor, and with the large tile itself only 'buttered' with mortar around the perimeter in a ~ 1" wide band. We had one whole bedroom re-tiled last year and the tradesman was excellent. He mortared the floor and each tile. Also, at my request he left a 2mm margin between the tile edges, which is rarely done here. So far it has been flawless and I actually like the look of the wider grout lines. But, sadly, he is so good at his job that he is booked months in advance on large home new construction. We have exhausted our resources in finding someone competent to do the job. We've asked local Thai friends, my barber, neighbors, etc. Although we have gotten several phone numbers, they either don't answer or say they are too busy. I"m pretty handy with house DIY myself, but never did any tile work except some small shower tiles. It's much to big a job to tackle by myself and even removing the old tiles is more work than I want to do. If anybody living in the area can give me some references or even ideas of how to get local references, it would be greatly appreciated.

Just wait until they gut social security and Medicare. Then getting sick could become a fatal mistake.

Wait! He's NOT mad? If not, he sure has the lunatic act nailed.

Definitely. First, my that Lady always drives, and second the truck is high, large, and heavy. We never drive at night or on national holidays. That's next to the best protection you'll find in the Kingdom. I'm saving up to buy a military surplus main battle tank or armored troop carrier though.

Lithium thionyl chloride cells are primary cells, not rechargeable.they have a very high energy density and very long shelf life. Cell voltage is twice alkaline celks so one replaces two alkaline be cells in series.

They have a 50,000 word posting limit.

Yep, a guy apparently died from the injection. Some people die from peanut allergies too. Tempest in a teapot. Of course I don't expect you to change your opinion. Note how your linked article ends: Under-30s in the UK were offered an alternative Covid vaccine to the AstraZeneca jab due to evidence linking it to rare blood clots, from the week after Mr Last was vaccinated. Cases of clots following vaccination are considered extremely rare. A major UK study said the risk of complications was dwarfed by the risks of the virus itself.

Nothing a few snoots of strong bleach won't cure. Bathing in it would be even quicker as well as therapeutic.

We're all mad as hatters. It's a universal consequence of being human.

OK. Now I understand your previously incoherent statement. However, though I have no doubt such mistakes happen, I am even more sure that the vast majority of the people reported to have died from Covid did indeed do so. In which case you are gagging on gnats. Elevating such isolated cases to relevance adds nothing significant to the issues; as in 'statistically insignificant'.

Typical clarity of reason; Very persuasive reply. Thanks so much.

Don't confuse us with the facts. We prefer to believe what we believe. It shows what rugged individuals we are. After all, it's just such defiance in the face of overwhelming evidence that distinguishes us as deep thinkers from the seething masses of sheeple. A massive point of pride for us.

If you have seen such evidence it just means that you've fallen prey to confirmation bias. Look it up. Since I'm sure you have many respected sources that support your statements kindly supply a few. Consider it a service to the ignorant/blind (such as me) of our community. It can only enhance your standing here. 🤣😏

Opinions don't qualify as fact unless they are substantiated. Please do so, if you can find such support from anywhere except the lunatic fringe. The facts are that this ship sailed long ago and sank quickly. But carry on anyway, just don't expect rational folks to be impressed with your folk wisdom.

Says who? Link please. You're grinding a very old axe here and a bit more substantiation is necessary, if you can find it. I suspect it's no more than your personal opinion. Which is fine, but doesn't qualify as fact.

'You snooze, you lose' personified. Classic mistake or insurance scam.

I stop reading when the writing turns into a jigsaw puzzle.

What meds do you recommend to cure fat fingering the keyboard? 🤔😅 I'm glad that my pressure meds don't cause BO as a side effect too. (Sorry. Cheap shot I know. But I had to take it) Seriously, I appreciate your professional opinions on these issues. 👍🙏

These icons might hold some minor value if you knew who posted them. As it is now they're just visual noise. I ignore them altogether. There's no accounting for taste.

Flat palm driving nose upward into brain works without any hand damage. It's all about physics.

I fell for the gambit several times and now don't bother. It's just not worth the effort to play the game. I see the small green 'free shipping' icon next to many items but there are always conditions of some type. In the end the shipping charges are really pretty minimal. The key to being content in the Kingdom is to lower your expectations and roll with the punches; in the end they are seldom life changing events.

What? Even flies won't touch him? Smarter than they look huh?

Thailand: the hub of false dietary supplement and skin conditioner claims. Huge profits to be made from gullible people.

Without a doubt. World is awash in fiat currency and a reckoning will be made at some point. Adding more zeros to currency does not real wealth make.
