I do hope you appreciate the irony of the blue rinse set being highly conservative.

One observation I have made about ASEAN is the number of snipers who live to put down other posters. It must be disappointing when I fail to respond to their baiting. Another SOS to join my ignore list. Bye bye.

IMO Trump needs to be careful. He may be POTUS, but Musk can afford far more lawyers.

I guess it was only a matter of time before ASEAN's ex-FBI profilers got on this thread.

I have a friend in Chiang Mai, on a full OAP. He gets $1076.00 per fortnight. Good luck to you if you get more. However, I fail to see why there should be be two different pensions for the same situation.

I inherited a guy like that once, at work. He did not appear either Monday or Friday regularly. I called him into my office, and showed him his attendance record for the last year. I said any sick leave you take, which does not have a medical certificate attached, will result in your pay being docked for that day. He said you can't do that, I said try me. Quite magical how his health improved, until he transferred to another department about 6 months later.

Given some of the blatantly wrong answers I get from AI, it will be a while yet.

It's intellectually lazy to claim the Left is solely responsible for the online hate of the CEO. Luigi Mangione is an Ivy League educated engineer from a privileged background. Not your average leftist at all. I suppose the murder is a good look-over-there for the OP. AFAIK no leftists have staged an insurrection.

Today, I paid my green fees at a golf course. The cost was 350 baht for 9 holes. I gave the manager a 1000 baht note, and a 50 baht note. He looked confused, and tried to give me the 50 baht note back He was using a calculator. He has said before he has a university degree. It's not the first time I have encountered this. Some staff in 7/11 get it, some do not. Is it the education system?

I have brought in six month's worth of medications many times over the space of 12 years. I've never been stopped or questioned concerning them. I do carry a letter from my Australian GP which explains their purpose. While there may be regulations, there does not seem to be any enforcement. A bit like the road rules.

In case you missed it, a majority of Americans have descended into a pit of moral turpitude, where screw you Jack, I've got mine rules the day. The Christians who backed the felon are worst of all. Biden trashed the economy? News to the stock market and employment statistics. As the ancient Greeks never tired of pointing out, hubris is always followed by nemesis. You'll get yours soon enough.

I can't say I have seen any Russians in Chiang Rai. It might be too cold for them. There are good folk and @rseholes in every nationality.

Utter rubbish. Most non-Americans despise Trump, and what he is turning America into. He gets zero respect from me as a felon, fraudster, serial liar, and sexual predator. We will soon see who has got who by the balls, if he gets to actually bring in the tariffs he is threatening. Just ask American farmers how that worked the last time.

AFAIK a cranial laxative has not been developed yet. I'll let you know when it does, so you can be first in line.

Not any more.

The coffee table books came out of thin air?

I suppose you got free sex in Thailand too.

You forgot to mention his encounter with an enraged taxi driver, after he forgot his phone. Then photographed the number plate.

It doesn't work that way. Book royalties are usually $1-2.

Writer's block already?

My friends all bought a copy. How many do you think you would sell?

I beat the OP by about ten years. It was not a publishing success, only selling 200 copies. Enough for the IRS to take an interest in me. In hindsight, I made the mistake of not including lurid sex scenes, and information on negotiation of short and long time encounters.

Asking Trump to change the habits of a lifetime is like asking Hannibal Lecter to go vegan. Trump built his property empire on bluster, bullsh!t and spin. Every asset loaded up with debt. I don't know why anyone would expect him to behave differently as president. He will be throwing the poor he professes to love under a bus, while enriching himself and his cronies. He can never have enough. I very much doubt he will achieve anything in office. Like his last term, it will be a lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Since when are you not allowed to report a post? Whether the report has any valid basis is a different issue.

I guess mango trees have something in common with me.
