Obviously not a frozen pension victim, like so many of your compatriots here. Never tried cocaine. Not high enough in the management tree. Cannabis only acts as a sedative with me. Kratom is cheap, legal, and effective for me. YMMV. I have not drunk alcohol for about 8 months, the medication I am on does not combine well. I don't miss it. If I was to become expensively addicted to anything, it would probably be oral demerol. 100 times more addictive than heroin. i still remember having four wisdom teeth out, and being as high as a kite on the stuff.

Assuming your post was aimed at me, I won't bother answering your posts again.

Bleach won't usually be effective with mold, due to biomass. IME 24 hours of contact with a 5% solution of copper sulphate is effective in killing mold stone dead. RInse off after contact. CAUTION: ACIDIC, HARMFUL TO SKIN AND EYES. Is the drain from the aircon flowing freely? It's possible a jingjok has died in there.

IMO it's difficult to be disappointed with a strategy of always spending less than one earns.

IIRC there is not a single 5 year plan of the Soviet Union or China that came out within a bull's roar of the intended targets. Good luck with your approach.

AFAIK the bum gun is unique to Thailand, and an outstanding contribution to personal hygiene and the environment. i suppose one could claim the bidet preceded it.

Careful, you are stammering. Take a deep breath, and respond coherently. IIRC I was pointing out alcohol and drugs affect finances. You chose to go completely off the rails with a nonsensical post about curry and rice.

Aren't you the guy that lambasts everyone else for going off topic?

More like unsmiling. Believe it or not, I am a contented person.

I suppose it depends on the office. Mine has been a month late on a couple of occasions, nothing was ever said. If there was a late charge, it was so small as to be unnoticeable.

Good question, I don't know. I suspect he did quite well for himself. He was pretty fit, IIRC on his second or third dan in martial arts. He always kept quiet about his dating, even when his mother was trying to get details from him. IME the ones who talk about sex a lot don't get much, and the ones who are reticent might be scoring freely. i did happen to see an empty condom six -pack in the wastebasket of his student accommodation. AFAIK there is no evidence 18-19 yo women are less randy than their male counterparts.

My aura does not attract. It says pi$$ off.

Until they are no longer rich.

I'd say there are a lot more destitute alcoholics than wealthy ones.

It's a simple formula, agreed. I wonder if it works as well when one gets an STD from a hooker, or becomes dependent on alcohol.

Not at all. As a former victim of Australian family law, I totally agree with you. When my son was at university in Australia, he observed a similar ratio of female students selling sex. I occasionally feel envious, he was one of two males in a dormitory of 30 females. Making such an insinuation would be furthest from my thoughts.

Yes I did. IMO only mugs pay for an OS which is under daily attack by hackers, when there are perfectly adequate free operating systems which don't have the same problems.

The purpose of using a spreadsheet for finances is to keep track of them. The extra comment was to illustrate what careful people do. You have already indicated you don't understand why people use such tools. I am wondering why you would want it explained, when it is obvious from your post you have no intention of applying such disciplines to yourself.

IME people who keep track of what they are doing stay solvent all their lives. It's the ones who live from paycheck to paycheck who end up dead broke. Fussbudgets like me arrive at airports a couple of hours early, to allow for contingencies. We check the oil level and tire pressures on our vehicles every week. We're the ones who are unstressed. We are never at an airport counter pleading to be let on a flight when boarding has closed, or stranded by the roadside.

IIRC, one of the best exchanges was between Rod Marsh and Ian Botham. Marsh: "How's your wife and my kids?" Botham: " Wife is fine. Kids are retarded".

Health topics. As for everything else, I have seen it all before.

I use Firefox as my main browser, it has given me very few problems over the years. I have Google Chrome as a backup for the very infrequent occasion Firefox is not acceptable. I did have Edge on a new laptop, until I purged it. Kept trying to push me into more Microsoft BS.

Cyber attack shut it down for several days.

I agree. I have lived in Thailand for 12 years, and speak reasonable Thai. Working on reading and writing it, Many relationships here begin as transactional, then develop into something else as love and trust grows. There is no way I will ever understand all the nuances of the Thai mindset.

That really takes me back, it was in use over 60 years ago when I was a trainee.
