Liver cirrhosis has no respect for anyone. Neither does a portal shunt.

The medication approach would probably fly. I have never been a big drinker. The last two years, I was probably averaging a glass of wine or a Scotch and Coke twice a week. I quit entirely in February this year. I went on to medication which requires 7 glasses of water a day. I'd be beyond stupid putting alcohol on top of what my kidneys and liver are coping with. I can't say I miss alcohol, although IMO a steak cries out for a glass of shiraz to go with it.

Damn. I am going to miss target practice.

Depends on the size of the bar girl and the customer.

My experience with London cab drivers was always good. They got me to my desired destination with a minimum of fuss. OTOH, I don't think NYC cab drivers knew very much about keeping their vehicles clean on the inside. Or their personal hygiene. They may well have known a lot about life. One of them informed me he had recently been released from a mental hospital, which did not give me confidence in his competence. He drove like a maniac, as if to prove his former accommodations.

I don't.

I would find another landlord. Too old to put up with BS. I self-actualized about 3 years ago.

I don't want to hurt my GF's feelings with criticism.

Food, shelter and a co-operative woman. Good health is a bonus.

Option 3 is to sort it out when I get back early September.

0.35 is inebriated to what is described as stumbling drunk. I did not realise her BAC was so high.

One could argue the same label applies to George Bush or Obama. It still doesn't explain what karma has to do with criminality.

Different circumstances, that's Thais with Thais. Doesn't seem to apply with foreigner-Thai. You may be right. However, flirting stops as soon as I mention I already have a Thai GF.

Getting married once is OK. More than once, it means you're a slow learner.

I am not in favor of donating to any religious organization, It only encourages them to want more.

What makes you think that has anything to do with karma? Quote from Wiki: Kissinger remains a controversial and polarizing figure in U.S. politics, both venerated by some as a highly effective U.S. Secretary of State[7] and condemned by others for allegedly tolerating or supporting war crimes committed by allied nation states during his tenure.[5][8][9] A 2015 survey of top international relations scholars, conducted by College of William & Mary, ranked Kissinger as the most effective U.S. secretary of state in the 50 years to 2015

If you say you already have a GF, no further interest. AFAIK Thai women are not poachers. I'm using it for illustrative purposes only, very happy with my GF.

The dog is most likely bored and frustrated. The dog owner probably would not have any clue how to train it. Not much the OP can do but move. Thais accept noise as normal.

Females are more affected by alcohol than males. "Enjoyed a few drinks" covers a fairly wide spectrum. RIP.

It's not rocket science. If I make bad decisions, bad things happen. And vice versa. IMO that's all karma is.

So have I. Linux is free, beats me why people pay for an OS.

I can think of worse ways to die, and at least I'd be going out with a bang, not a whimper.

I don't think so. 35,000 baht is the fee for the agent putting 800K in an account prior to application, then withdrawing the funds after the visa or extension thereof. Part of the money goes to bribing an IO. If the agent was legitimate, there would be 800K baht in the OP's own account, with a seasoning period. The agent would be charging about 6000 - 7000 baht for the service. I've known people who have used the non-legit route. So far, they have got away with it. It does not mean they always will.

Zero side effects? Like Viagra, Cialis lowers blood pressure - quite risky for people already on BP medication. Other common side effects are headache and stomach upsets.
