  1. Our kid goes to a decent EP school in Thailand. Have money for top Thai university and perhaps 2 yrs college in US. I feel life in Thailand for a well educated kid is more relaxed. If life is so much better in the west, then why didn't you all stay there.
  2. Chump change for a wealthy gentleman as myself
  3. Medical costs here in Thailand would be a factor for many with no decent Insurance. Then returning to home country for medical reasons could prove a hardship without your own place.
  4. I'm flying EVA soon, I bought directly from EVA and yes I had to pay for each leg to pick seats. Same thing last year for me. If you buy from like cheapoair the seats are free.
  5. I'm not trying to be gloomy but you're right. 5 yrs ago my sister's check was only like $1200/mo. Rent has doubled in 20 yrs where I'm from in Ca. Have to maybe try W. Virginia or Arkansas for something where $30,000 can get you a roof over your head on a lot.
  6. Bout the only way for a regular retiree on SS to start over again in the US is to locate to the poorest of the poor states.
  7. Sure, you could build huge warehouse style housing where single people had a small cubicle with a bed and locker for clothes, shared bathroom facilities. A kitchen, medical facility with students. But, once the problem is solved all those good paying jobs will disappear. Every person would be required to work a set amount of hours in the facility after job interviews.
  8. The poor wouldn't know what to do. What? I have to pay property taxes and insurance? What's that.
  9. But, to what standard will the homeless require. In LA single unit housing for the homeless were running around 700K USD. Personally I don't think politicians really want to solve this problem.
  10. Looks like the judge wants hunter there in person.
  11. Don't follow the light.
  12. Don't be a quitter bob.
  13. I remember the good ole days when I could crawl back aboard at 0500, be there for work at 0800 and be feeling fine at knock off for another night of carousing. It's been a few decades since my body was put through that. One poster talked about liver function test and that's a good suggestion. I haven't had a physical in 2 years. While I was working I was a part timer in Isaan and having a few usually turned into a whole day and night session with neighbors. Those days are gone. I'll do an entire physical in a month or so, we'll see what the blood teats have to say.
  14. While red wine glasses vary in size and shape, the standard red wine glass holds 12 to 16 fluid ounces (or 360mL to 473 mL) of wine at its total capacity. White wine glasses also vary considerably, but the standard white wine glass holds 12 fluid ounces (or 360mL) of wine.
  15. What's a standard glass. How many per regular bottle
  16. I thought Bob was leaving Thailand for a business venture. What say you Bobbie, not selling wolf tickets are you.
  17. Is it OK to drink moderately everyday and what does moderately mean? Some say I have a couple glasses of wine with dinner, well depending on wine glass that could be almost a full bottle. But for this discussion let's limit the alcohol to beer. Personally I don't like to drink before bed because even a few beers makes me sluggish the next morning. So, early afternoon I enjoy 3-4 small beers pretty much every day. I stopped for like a week and was missing it so I started back up. I never go beyond 4 beers all day except for during Songkran parties. Now, except for the calories I don't think 3-4 beers a day is hurtful, what say the tee totalers and experienced drinkers.
  18. Yes, you're quite right. I wonder which country is responsible for this insanity.
  19. How much alcohol needs to be consumed to be defined as an alcoholic? Asking for a friend.
  20. There's an assault on the American male. Before having sex the male should have a consent form handy before the deed is done. Either straight or gay, seems not to matter.
