Unfortunately, most manufacturers of small items don't run to a spare parts inventory. A long shot is to find another blender that is broken differently, and cannibalize it for the bearing. I'm just wondering how much gasoline the OP is going to burn in pursuit of this part, though. May be cheaper in the long run to buy new.

Tattoos don't bother me personally, although I have never had one myself. So I would not be trying to cancel a contract for that reason, it would be ridiculous. I still don't get it, you say the tattoo is for yourself. Is it a memento of a special event in your life, artistic expression, or a badge of honor that you can bear pain? IIRC I have said before on this thread having a tattoo does tend to act as a socio-economic classifier, which is probably the reason I don't have one. Although I have met some with tattoos who were good people.

Please explain to me the point of having a tattoo which never sees the light of day, because I really don't understand that.

What absolute nonsense. Retiring overseas requires a big move outside the comfort zone for most people, and most pensioners are set in their ways. Then there is learning a new language and understanding a new culture, a task which is far too much for many nearing 70. There may be a few more retiring overseas, but it's never going be the rush you are postulating.

Thai Watsadu or HomePro will have everything needed. Yes, it's a good thing because you don't want Air BNB renters having loud parties next to you going all hours.

Since we have veered slightly off topic into the the field of rings and studs, I thought I would post a video to remind everyone of the perils of them. Bill Kearns _The Ballad Of Stanley _ Louisa_ 11.mp4

I think you will find life expectancy in the Middle Ages was considerably less than it is now, but it is a nice rationalization. Do you really want to go back to that time?

I've seen a few heavy drinkers die here, and it was not pretty. One left a trail of blood down the condo stairs after getting impatient with the lift, and tried to navigate them while quite intoxicated. Another was told another alcoholic drink would kill him, ended up committing suicide in NZ after defecating blood for a couple of months. Since 1989, alcohol has been on the WHO register as a Class 1 carcinogen.

Made my evening, thanks.

I have munchies with my Sangsom and Coke Zero too. However, they are the right munchies for weight loss. Bamboo and chili. Avocado with lemon or vinegar. Almonds and macadamias. Believe it or not, cheese.

There is no filter which can remove fluoride, it is a very small ion and one of the most soluble around. Only ion exchange can extract it. Showering/washing dishes will be fine, provided you knock over the coliforms first with sterilization. Coliforms are an indicator of bacterial contamination, used to infer there may be pathogenic bacteria or viruses present.

Reading the report again, I have noticed there is no analysis of trivalent and hexavalent chromium content. Hexavalent chromium is a known human carcinogen. No analysis of boron content either, not significant for humans, but most plants don't like it.

Perth is one of the warmer climates, admittedly. I used to work in Port Hedland, warmer still. The McGovern government had the smarts to reserve some gas production for domestic use, despite the howls of rage from the federal government. Now the premiers of every state on the eastern seaboard wish they had done the same.

I don't consider looking inside someone else's property for the purpose of identification and contacting the owner to be bad thinking. As for the RTP, how do you know they will do their job? They are not renowned for being incorruptible.

The arsenic figure is high, as is the fluoride. One cannot filter fluoride out, it would need an ion exchange column to do so. I would not cook with it or drink it. Showering in it or washing dishes would be risky unless first sterilized. The calcium hardness means one can expect a fair amount of scaling in pipes.

Gold shops usually display three prices: buy and sell for Thai bullion, price for one baht of gold. The third price is the buyback price for jewellery, which is usually 1000-1500 baht under the bullion buyback price.

Why?

I do find the electricity and food costs a bit difficult to believe, unless you have 4 layers of clothing and are eating cup noodles most of the time. A pub meal with any meat is going to be $10-$15 alone, steak and lamb are as dear as poison. All I read about of Australia is skyrocketing costs of everything - electricity, petrol, rents, food. My son's house insurance premium went from $2400 to $3600 this year. What town or region of Australia, if you don't mind me asking?

Not me, already have gold and silver.

Google Translate on my laptop works for me. Free. Thai script I can show to my GF, and voiceover.

Good thinking.

Not far off it, actually. We had to use slide rules for calculations.

I've found HomePro usually has tradies lined up for installation work on almost any home fixture.

It's what one has with the whisky - peanuts, pizza, potato chips. Have it with non-diet Coke, the Coke is packed with sugar. Pepsi is even worse.

Anything that's been distilled, sugar is not distillable.
