Er - did this thread not kick off over Mrs. Nevilles' TV choice?

Read Tolstoy's War and Peace instead.

Now you are the one that is clueless. I only have one user name. I only post on ASEAN. Are you making things up as you go along, much as Trump does, or am I a case of mistaken identity?

Fox news? You might as well ask me to read a Kremlin press release. IIRC Fox shelled out $767 million to avoid going to trial in the defamation suit brought by Dominion. A company as big as Fox doesn't shell out that kind of money, unless it knows it will be exposed as a lying sack of sh!t.

I thought it was rain, sleet, and snow, until they have the sense to emigrate.

Saying I am clueless about America. i have been there many times, and probably have observed more of it than you have.

Repeating a lie does not make it true.

Kinky, but I suppose it does no harm. A fertility rite, perhaps? Personally, I could not get it up if someone was watching, let alone videoing.

Trump would be proud of you, attack the messenger instead of the message. Legal H2A workers are paid a legal wage, set by the Department of Labor, including overtime. Illegal workers are not. Obviously you are too dumb to understand the way your own country works.

You'd need an army of EBT's to encourage them.

Thank you for that good news. Did you post it to give us the sh!ts as well?

After he has deported all the illegal immigrants that pick America's crops for below minimum wage, how will that make groceries cheaper? It seems Americans en masse have abandoned critical thinking. Perhaps some never had the capacity.

Actually, there is a solution. America defaults on its debt, just like Trump duds his creditors. The only question is whether Trump, Musk and Ramaswamy are crazy enough to do it.

EBT is a new acronym to me. Is he protective of your wife?

It is for all of us, I don't worry about it. You could get electrocuted pushing a mop, well before the usual life expectancy. Or I could have a heart attack during sex. IMO Thailand is one of the better places in the world to be, if the sh!t hits the fan, either by war or climate change.

What function does the dog have? Farm dogs in Australia will ride quite happily on the back of a scooter. Sounds like both your wife and the dog need more training.

I can't see how a combination of tariffs and tax cuts is going to reduce inflation. Of course, trillions could be cut by reducing military spending, or slashing Medicare and social security. Trump has promised not to cut the latter, and wants to increase the military budget. So where are the cost savings coming from?

Why don't you buy her a scooter, then you could really be lazy.

Yams and rice are only marginally better. Fess up, you don't want to plant cabbages because there is too much bending over.

At my age, the average life expectancy is 5 years. The money is not for me. It is for my son and my GF, they both deserve it.

Shame on you, contributing to the obesity epidemic in Thailand. Get out there and plant cabbages instead.

I thought you were a Trump supporter. Having second thoughts?

Over the years I have been living in Thailand, my assets have been decreasing at an average rate of AUD 7000 a year. That's after getting the OAP, and investment income. At the end of 2024, it was a pleasant surprise when my assets increased by AUD 15,000. A combination of exchange rate fluctuations, and a cashed-out capital gain in precious metals. I am looking forward to 2025, when I am expecting shares in a rare earth miner to take off. My health was quite good during 2024, so yes, it was a good year. Happy New Year.

The diet I developed is not full-on keto. However, sugar and anything high carb went out the window. Noodles, pasta, potato, rice, carrots, bananas, mangos. No alcohol. Low carb vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and green beans stayed in. Once a week, I allowed myself a Magnum ice cream. It's common sense a lower body weight places less stress on the heart and other organs. eGFr is a measure of kidney function. About 50% of elderly people die of kidney failure. After the diet, my eGFr reading improved by 20 points.

When traffic goes from two lanes to one, usually pickups and larger vehicles will ignore the signs, drive to the front of the line, then push back in. Selfish driving, it slows traffic down. I sometimes wish I had sword blades on my car, like Messala's chariot in Ben Hur, so I could slash their tyres as they go by. Perhaps the OP should consider taking a katana with him for his constitutionals.
