I can't do the texture. Feels like what a cube of butter would feel like.

When I first built a home on the rice fields some years back I thought is was so awesome. Like I could simply disappear. That feeling as a part timer continued for years. Then, reality sort of kicked in as I'm sitting outside watching the cows being led out to open range feed, then watching same cows being led home in evening. Didn't want the kid going to a local school so education started being a concern as K3 approached. I understand the locals have a hard life but my lady's kid brother had every chance to have an advanced education but couldn't be bothered. Dont get me wrong he works taking care of his family but probably will never bust 20K/month. One of the lady's nieces had a kid at age 15. The cycle of poverty is almost part of their DNA. Now because I worked 12 hr days, 7 days a week for 4-6 month rotations they look to me for help. So and so this, so and so that, tears flow. I'm tired of it. Long story short we moved far away so the kid can have a real shot at a good future.

I'm not good at riddles.

I still call that area my home. Back in the day there were illegals picking peaches and other crops. When the season was over they moved on. They didn't bring the whole family with them. These laborers moved with the crops and sent money back to Mexico. I worked a large dairy through HS. No illegals in sight. You had Portuguese and poor whites like me. How was that possible? Just because the illegals have a place in the fields doesn't mean we need them in Warehousing, construction, factories. I like Ca. and own several properties there. But, it's getting hard. San Francisco is now giving free booze the alkies at a cost like 5 mil/yr https://www.mantecabulletin.com/opinion/local-columns/san-franciscos-free-booze-shots-a-cot-homeless-strategy-versus-mantecas-efforts/

What are the democrats hiding? C'mon man. However the House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, argue that the recording is necessary to assess Biden's mental state and the legitimacy of Hur's decision. They accuse the White House of attempting to hide the president's condition from the public.

Please stop using bogus photos with zero to do with article.

Just humorous Mendez and Trump are in court at same place in Manhattan.

eeeuu, no thanks.

A public defender should be good enough.

My point being the foreigners living in rural Isaan picked that location because their lady is from that village in rural Isaan. Been there, done that. I packed up the truck and moved 700+km away 7 yrs ago. Started over in a place of my choosing.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/16/politics/bob-menendez-trial-takeaways/index.html Menendez, 70, has been charged with acting as a foreign agent on behalf of Egypt and assisting the government of Qatar, all while taking bribes from several New Jersey businessmen. He is being tried with Wael Hana, an Egyptian American businessman, and Fred Daibes, a New Jersey real estate developer. All three have pleaded not guilty.

And many foreigner tax experts will try to make some money here as well.

Not a crazy concept. Recently I had to spend time at my bank getting ready for extension. All 3 times this one agent was crazy busy. The ladies working there would take his paperwork, sign and stamp very quickly. Like no words spoken, a very well oiled machine. Got me wondering how much the bank employees are compensated. While I don't believe a genuine program for taxing regular foreigners with no business interests in Thailand could be implemented. The way they legalized marijuana shows the ones in charge don't think things through.

If I get to the mall indoor parking before mall opens, SUV or truck both diesel stays running with cool AC blowing. When I pick up my kid from school and have to wait 20 minutes, diesel SUV stays running AC blowing. As does most everyone else parked near me. Some folks are just too thin skinned. I suppose some vehicles are poorly tuned and smoke, my vehicles are properly maintained and are not bothersome. Alot of name calling here by the self righteous. Bite me.

That's best saved for son Hunter. But, yes joe will be fully spiked with go juice. That you can count on.

The serene country lifestyle can be had minutes from basically any large city. A little honesty from the folks who live there will tell you they settled there because that's where the little lady calls home.

I'm sure Biden will be primed up with the finest cocktails.

Coming to a Coffee War near you.

Besides the tragedy of a death. Kudos to the old man at age 86 having a morning drinking session.

You're a prime example of the nastiness of biden supporters.

Agreed, they're taking better care of the newly arrived than our own citizens.

When I retired 4 yrs ago making low 100's K yearly I thought I was doing good. Guess I was wrong. So hard to imagine the damage biden has done to America.

Hey, I'm sure its hard letting go of your dream of biden winning. But the warning signs are there.
