    I have purchased 100 of these 3ply surgical masks.

    But will only put them on in situations that are a little more crowded

    than usual.

    You only need to wear a mask if you are already infected

    wearing a mask when your not infected , could cause you more harm than good

    yes is request from Sealdel  wanted the payment in 3 days

    it is said there was gold in the bag 

    they ask to provide "certificate of INC and DHS tag " for the right to have gold shipment.

    provide documents or pay fine with in 3 days.

     

    most be paid with Western Union not more then 700 $ per slip

    asking to pay to Derick Parker Amaliri

    354 Lydgate road Southamton UK

    the Uk agent in charge for shipment 

     

    all sounds me strange , first why they not contact sender,

    what has UK to do with it.

    and there is a Branch , Sealdel  in Austin 

    Sounds like a scam to me

    Why would payment be made to a persons name and not the company name

    Maybe check out their website and see if he is listed in that

    Count yourself lucky he has no objection to you walking your dog there as long as you clean up after him. When I first saw the title I thought the neighbor was objecting to your having a dog altogether. Instead it appears he just wants you to do what any responsible dog owner in a city or town should do.

     

    It is required by law in many countries.

    You can buy convenient device for this online at Lazada  https://www.lazada.co.th/catalog/?q=pooper+scooper&_keyori=ss&from=input&spm=a2o4m.searchlistcategory.search.go.45a01913H7FRqm

    Yes

    In Australia they will fine you for not carrying some sort of poop scooper, wether your dog does its business or not you must carry something to clean it up just in case

    Well that's how it is in Queensland anyway

    Yes they were - they are small dogs. Do you have a problem with that? Do you think they were asking to be killed, which they would have been if I hadn't whacked the mutt repeatedly with a metal gardening hoe?

     

    Do you think Pitbulls should be allowed to run free?

     

    Do you know what these dogs are bred for?

     

    I think they should be slaughtered if they are.

    I don't envy your plight Johnnie

    But dogs are only what we make them..... maybe use your suggestion for the owner not the dog

    May have been mentioned before, dunno, not been reading all the garbage. One comment though, What if you only draw the principal , ie, your contributions of your  super,. and not the interest? Dont think that will affect what OAP u can get. Check it out.

    Doesn't matter mate

    Any larger withdrawals will be counted and you will be docked some of your pension

    Just a hint on the session timing out mate

    I had the same issues as you

    Type it out first on a word document them open the session and copy and paste it

    It takes about 3 seconds that way

    Hope this helps

    Cheers

    Geoff

    Another suggestion as well mate

    Go into there office don't ring, they can fob you off that way

    I had to go in and take my proof of super amount with me, if I didn't ..no pension

    I went in, spoke to a woman about my super .. she tells me that so long as I don't draw on it, it will not affect my pension

    She then took me to a computer and stepped me through my OAP application while I was there 

    Its quite simple when you know what your doing ( I didn't ), mine was done there and then

    I have 14 days to go to retirement age ( 09-05-2018 ) so will keep you all posted on how it all goes for me

    Cheers

    10 weeks after I applied for OAP and no decision as of yet, but the "your application has progressed" messages every 5 days have now stopped.

    I have had 3 people tell me that their OAP took 6 months after application before payment began, back payment was made but allegedly this is at CL discretion (???).

    The question is, do I live on my savings (assuming I have enough) or continue working after my retirement party? If I continue to work, will this income be ignored by CL or treated as income while (not) receiving OAP? If the latter, my current income of $1600/fn would then be reduced to <$700 after tax and pension reduction ($80 tax in first $400, then $240 tax and $600 pension reduction on further $1200).

    Can't find anything on CL material re late pension payment, obviously they don't want to discuss their incompetence on application processing in the time they have allotted.

    BTW tried raising this on CL website. Before you could possibly type the above, the session times out. How convenient.

    None so blind as those who refuse to see.....hmmm!
     
    This post has more misleading information than you can shake a stick at.
     
    As from 1 January 2015, the rules for new OAP applications changed.
     
    In 100% of cases all financial investment is deemed and is income.
     
    If you are single and own a house or not, you cannot get the full AOP if you have financial investments of more than $157,569 (for which $4,368 is deemed as annual income).
     
    Maybe what happened in your past is not relevant to present readers anymore.

    Sorry mate, but your info in incorrect

    I am 16 days off retirement and just been through all this in the last month

    I have more than $157,569 in my super and so long as I don't use it, it will not effect my pensions

    I went and sat in there office and was given this info, not just something I read

    We live in a small single-track, dead end soi in town. It's quiet and used only by the ten or so families who live in the soi or their visitors. People, young and old, walk up and down, kids play in the road, dogs wander about.

     

    The vast majority of traffic travels very slowly and our 4 dogs very rarely react from behind the gate. However, there's one frequent visitor who insists on gunning his bike up the soi at high speed and the dogs have learnt to recognise the sound of his bike. Whenever they hear it, they go nuts. The bloke has been asked to drive more slowly because of the playing kids but the requests have been ignored. 

     

    Three of our dogs are very placid, one can be a bit unpredictable but they all seem to dislike this bloke on his bike above all others. Maybe he scared them sometime in the past when they were outside and that stays in their minds, who knows.

     

    I'm sure they'd make friends with the person , given the chance, but still hate the sound of the bike and react to it.

     

     

     

     

    Trust your dogs instinct Martin 

    If your dog doesn't like him don't trust him, they are smarter than us humans, you cant con them

    I had a new person move into our street and my dog ( even though she is a nasty biatch ) just wont have anything to do with him

    I found out recently he is not a very nice person.. dog was right all along

    Many thanks to Nignoy and everyone for their info. Much appreciated and I'll attempt to phone Centrelink in Australia on Monday. Fully expect to be "put on hold" and/or have to select from a dozen "options" while trying to get a Real Live Public Servant to talk with.

    Will let you know the results as it looks as though there are many other Aussie Expats in a similar situation. My first posting on Thaivisa.com and I'm overwhelmed at the response.

    heers,

    Voiceover.

    I rang and spoke to the ATO regarding this and he direct me to the correct site

    This is an extract from it below

    So now if you live outside Australia you will pay 32.5 cents in the dollar of your pension

    Also if you own a house in Auss and rent it out as of 09-05-2018 all income from your rental will be classed as capitol gains tax on your house

    32.5c for each $1

    $87,001 – $180,000

    $28,275 plus 37c for each $1 over $87,000

    $180,001 and over
