That's my all time favorite veggie. Too bad the quality at Makro is poor and prices crazy.

Good news for the tax experts on AN, for sure.

I would think maybe the rules will change so the one being given a gun will triple check the ammo as part of their responsibility.

Now that it's looking that the chances of Biden exiting from the nomination have gotten much better to be replaced with a younger candidate, the attention on possible dementia, old age and health issues will shift from Biden to Trump. So people will look much more closely at Trump's VP pick. It will take the non maga fascist cult American public about five seconds to realize that Vance is completely unqualified to be president. 

 

You're so out of touch with the American folks. Folks care about the basics of life. The democrats have failed.

Congratulations on your transition to trans woman. 

You lost me.

It's hard to shake foods you grew up with. I still remember the warm homemade bread with butter, cheese, cold cuts and Italian Salad which is peas and diced boiled carrots with mayo and seasoning. Oh and cold red cabbage.

So for me I make do with toast butter and cheese.

I asked my lady here in Thailand if LBs could compete with females in sports? 

She said no. Thought that was silly. Common sense prevails.

Says the person who mentioned Biden's alleged hair plugs. Apparently, to your way of thinking, Biden's hair plugs are a fascinating issue whereas Trump's scalp reduction surgery is a matter of indifference.

Again. Nobody cares.

It's a good thing Trump isn't vain enough to do anything similar. Oh...wait a minute...

" In a 1990 divorce deposition, under oath, Ivana Trump swore that in a fit of rage, Donald raped her because of the pain he was suffering resulting from his scalp reduction surgery in 1989.

Donald's scalp reduction, also known as alopecia reduction (AR), is most successfully performed on patients with balding on the crown on the head, according to HairtransplantMentor.com "The procedure, which essentially cuts out the patient's bald spot, follows these steps: Under anesthesia, the surgeon cuts away the balding area of the scalp...

I knew I wasn't returning, as well thought out and planned for years.  Although TH was a quick and TBH, not researched like other options.  Didn't really decide to stay until after kid done High School.  

 

Held off on building the 3rd house (first 2 sold), or buying a car worth keeping till it dies.  Still gave it 3 yrs to think about (2017-2020) @ PKK, after 17 years already here @ Udon Thani.   

 

Hindsight, it probably would have been better to keep my RE, (5 units) and rented out, although I don't need the income or can even think what I'd spend it on.  My SS is a bit more than I can spend without being frivolous.

 

RE investment here, made up for any loss rental income from the USA.   Having Thai partner made that possible.   Although, USA housing prices the past few years would have added quite a bit of equity.  Definitely better price selling today than 24 yrs ago.  

 

Could return USA and buy back in, but have no desire to, along with, less play money every money if I did.  At near 70, why bother, since I did leave, along with healthcare so expensive.   So far, haven't really needed anything here.  Just a couple inexpensive procedures.   Even those would have cost 10-20X if out of pocket.   If insured, still cheaper here vs premiums & deductibles.   That's the sad state of healthcare in the USA.

My main objective for keeping my US RE is for the kids and it pays a bit of money but not much after repairs, taxes and insurance. It also gives me a foothold in the country I consider my home.
