Where does extension of stay for Thai wife fit in this scheme?

Bring back Prayut. I'm getting nostalgic for the good old times. 😄

Appears to be a junk journal article from a dubious author from a similarly dubious school (at least when it comes to COVID):

https://academic.oup.com/ofid/article/10/6/ofad209/7131292? which states. "The risk of COVID-19 also increased with time since the most recent prior COVID-19 episode and with the number of vaccine doses previously received."

I could go on and on. Take a look at articles about the excess deaths since 2021.

I've seen things kick off with Thais plenty of times and was nearly on the receiving end on my second visit.  There's an anger just under the surface which erupts like a volcano over relatively minor things. 

 

Thankfully the Thais are also receptive to contrition.  I've made mistakes in etiquette and offered genuine apologies. Not only have they been accepted, but the anger disappeared immediately.  People back home hold a grudge, sometimes for years, and no amount of contrition will assuage that rage.

A "Count of Monte Cristo" fan, I see. 😄

Nikki does speak very good English apparently.

I think my granddaughter's only had one Brit as her foreign English teacher. Previous teachers have been, in no particular order, Australian, South African, Moroccan, Canadian and British. The Moroccan guy Mr Habibi, was excellent.

For anyone who is wondering, my comment was one single solitary word, "otlichno" which means "great" in Russian.

According to Milton Friedman, inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon. Later he clarified that he was referring to episodes of persistent inflation. In the short run, supply shocks can impact the price level.

Thai weed is a Sativa, so any cross with Afghan is a hybrid. Not a pure Indica strain..

 

Back to weed school for you. 😎
😁

I stand corrected. According to "leafwell,' Northern Lights is 95% indica and 5% sativa.

Northern Lights is a pure indica cannabis strain made by crossing Afghani with Thai.

Does anybody remember this? Were there any consequences for Chuck Schumer after this disgraceful threat against Supreme Court Justices?

However, sometimes I might need to buy some med such as Ibuprofen, for example, even though I am very cautious about using NSAID analgesics due to fear of liver damage.

Clinically apparent liver injury from NSAIDs is rare (~1-10 cases per 100,000 prescriptions) and typically presents as acute hepatitis within 1 to 3 months of starting the medication. However, use of NSAIDs, even for a short period of time, can harm the kidneys. NSAIDs cause unopposed constriction of the afferent arteriole and decrease renal perfusion pressure.

Acetaminophen (brand names Panadol, Tylenol) overdose, in contrast, can cause a serious acute liver injury and hepatic failure that can result in death or need for emergency liver transplantation. Currently, acetaminophen is the major cause of acute liver failure in the United States, Europe and Australia.
