While on TV subject... if you ever think of buying TV with curved screen be aware unless they’ve Improved design the screen cracks extremely easy. I bought one as a gift to my sister in law and husband got to their house they took it out of the box and tweaked it slightly screen cracked, i took it back to store... asked if before paying it was taken out of and turned on .. no screen problems.. none. Was told unfortunately can not get a refund only way I’d try with manufacture whose brand is top or one of the top curved screen manufacturers. The store manager whom I’ve known 6+ years said they try to ver customers away from any brand curved screen because high rate of breakage and no refunds from or ultimately manufacture.. Read up before you buy..

Sorry got off track... yes some villagers up here in Northeast are looking to sell land or borrow (not a chance) money.. Start getting people asking Mama or quasi wife if I want to buy land. Looked at one it was so so price we agreed... next day they said another person wants pay more... I said good for yiu and walked away.. QW was but but but... I said no butt... Borrow nope outta that game .. the Uncle came by QW took me outside to talk (translated) about borrowing money... like 60k... asked when will paid back 2-3 months .. asked again he said not sure. Sorry you should’ve saved up ... ever since he’s not been to friendly.. I’m ok with that..

We live on a village and quasi family grows rice and potatoes (tapioca use) True ..... rice usually lasts about a month before next harvest then have to buy 1 bag to cover.. but this year even though we’ve planted more rice came up with having to buy for 3 months.. And its turns out a slight loss.. Potatoes they have a small return.. then lack of money management aren’t ideal..keeps them busy most the year and out of my hair,, it’s all good.

Nice restorations by a shop in Beijing

I can’t live alone... who would I yell at? The dog doesn’t like being yapped at...

I was going to comment but didn’t want to get labeled a Troller ... which I thought was a method of fishing .... Snook...

I had a envelope ( not brown) sent by my sister in Ocala, Fl By USPS which I understand from Bangkok onwards is to Udon Thani it’s handled by EMS/Thai Post., Journey shipped Priority Mail August 3 Ocala FL .. note once it arrives to Bangkok the tracking system doesn’t follow when EMS/Thai Post take delivery going forward. Arrived Bangkok then departed August 20 2021 22:00 and that it’s on way to destination. As of August 31 the priority mail hasn’t arrived and I’ve sent email to contact at EMS/Thai Post earlier this evening. Has anyone had any recent from USA by USPS and is 28+ days thecnormal now? The document is fairly important and would be a bit of an ordeal to do the process over forms beginning.. Appreciate taking time to reply that would give me some hope.. Thanks

Live in a small village.. other than hello and goodbye .. There’s at least one Mom Pop on every village blockish.. 2-3 larger shops stock significantly more than small ones that usually sell booze, Thai whiskey by the shot or bottles, beer,cigarettes,by the pack or as singles.. sodas.. etc. I’ve lived here six years and loyal to one of the larger shops the entire time... for the smaller shops it’s not easy to survive and with small shops opening 3 doors down from other kinda divides/splits the business... So pleasantries but not really not dwelling into their lifes.. Great people making a living..

US has a Passport Card (see example picture) the size of a drivers license. Can not be used for travel outside N. America but has all the pertinent information as on passport and for ID purposes generally should be accepted for identification purposes. Costs an additional @ $30 USD when applying for regular passport...

Allegedly the following are new M2H Visa requirements

USA Social Security Manila initial contact April 2021. Received email in a few days with date and time for phone interview to submit filing which was June 14th 2021. i was told filing would be sent to Baltimore for final approval which could take up to 6 months. Anyone filed recently and how long before approval and payments start? US citizens planning to retire consider it may take 9 months ? To file early...

Interviewer said I’ve 50+ years ... true Thanks everyone... enjoy everyday....
