I suggest the OP sends a PM to Sheryl for a more informed opinion.

Read my post again, I was referring to myself refusing to be a doormat.

You won't know until you try, will you? I would suggest 5% vinegar would be ineffective, it's probably the 20% commercial variant needed. Stronger stuff than that could be adverse. You should get to know Meyer, he is a hairy economist living on a squatty houseboat low in the water named the John Maynard Keynes. The boat is low in the water due to the economic tomes he has on board. He gets his bedroom action with iron maidens, formidable businesswomen who are a threat to most male egos.

It doesn't pay to be a doormat to people who are bitter and twisted either. I recall posting several times I don't suffer fools gladly.

According to my favorite author, John D MacDonald, there is no skin parasite - mites, crabs or whatever - which can withstand the application of plain vinegar to the affected region. IIRC, the remedy was mentioned by McGee's sidekick Meyer in the book "A Tan and Sandy Silence". Of course, your personal hygiene with self and the household may also need review. Perhaps you need a GF to help you.

About 60 -70% of the time. The rest of the time I cook for myself. I have tried cooking Thai food for myself, just too fiddly. IME the preparation time outweighs the cooking time. Easier to pay instead.

Both the Allies and the Germans gave their pilots methamphetamines to keep them flying. A side effect is aggression, as all cops probably know.

Highly unlikely, unless he is (a) a heavy user (b) in the 30% of habitual addicts who become psychotic. Far more likely to be alcohol, which is well known for removing inhibitions. I agree with BZ, breath testing prior to boarding would help weed these guys out.

There is a good old Aussie expression. " If bullsh!t was music, you'd be a brass band". Ever since I used the light simile, posters have seized on it to belabor me. The nastier ones are on my ignore list. In a health event about two months ago, I was in a Thai hospital for two days. My GF slept on the floor next to my bed for two nights, to care for me. Her family ferried food in, as the hospital food was definitely not what I am used to. As you say, one can't beat that kind of relationship. Lux perpetua luceat eis.

My barber, my podiatrist, my GF.

If you listen to his dumbest followers, their responses can become comedy gold.

It is accepted among statisticians that a sample of a single person is fairly useless in establishing correlations of events. It's like me saying I am a two pack a day smoker, who has never had COPD, emphysema, or lung cancer, therefore smoking is not dangerous. The ancient Greeks did note Hubris is invariably followed by Nemesis.

If any protein here is not cooked, I don't eat it.

It is always disappointing when you trust someone, and they repay your trust with deceit. If he needed 25,000 for a visa, odds are pretty good he will need it again when it comes to extension time. There's only one friend here I trust with money when he is a bit short on cash, and he has always paid me back.

Are there signs of corrosion around the roof screws/ washers? Sometimes washers have a carbon content, which can create an electrolytic cell. How heavily do you chlorinate your pool? Do you get any ceiling condensation? Is the roof material factory painted, or painted after installation? IMO the most probable cause would be the tree damage, allowing water access.

You can find 10,000 foreigners in Thailand, each with more than 91 indictments against them? You really must have snored your way through classes in statistics and probability. Presumably you aced the drama classes.

Similar joke with a woman shopping online in an adult store. Woman: "I want to buy a dildo" Staff: " Certainly madam, this is our display case" Woman: " I'll take the red one on the wall" Staff: " Madam, that's our fire extinguisher"

Didn't you know a tooth brush can do double duty? You must lead a sheltered life.

In latest news, Trump has decided to go after Taylor Swift with his usual combination of denigration and insults. In response, she has called him a stinking @sshole. I think she means it literally. There goes the youth vote.

Appointing an oil industry executive to be Secretary of the Environment demonstrated how much Trump is committed to it.

IIRC, the special counsel appointed to investigate Biden's handling of classified documents stated Biden co-operated fully with his inquiry. OTOH, Trump lied and obstructed, refused to return them, showed top secret documents to Mar-a-Lago visitors. It's why Trump is in the dock now, and Biden is not. You think Trump is fit to serve, with 91 indictments and two convictions already? That's as crazy as a bedbug. It's not a great choice. However, I would take Biden over a hate-spewing felon every day.

IIRC you accused me of TDS. Seems there is BDS as well.

You don't argue over parking spaces with Thais. In Thailand, it's prudent to learn which battles to pick, and when to walk away.

I associate with other expats via sport. As for sitting in bars or joining expat clubs to listen to others bitch about the world - hell no. I can do that here.

His wounds are self-inflicted, nothing to do with the Dems, everything to do with his criminality and the American justice system. His supporters swallow his lies, they are losers, just like him. $83 million E Jean Carroll, anywhere between $300 and $500 million for the NY fraud. $55 million gone on lawyers who can't defend him, because he won't keep his mouth shut. Hope away. As Bill Barr ( former ally ) said, he's toast.
