  1. That's interesting. I thought the tortilla chips, which I liked, were made from flour? Anyway, it is a good restaurant.
  2. Winner winner chicken dinner! (Interesting Las Vegas phrase, I think.) That is the answer I was looking for. 🙂
  3. Yeah, I live on Rajadamri. One of the most walkable streets in Bangkok. The did a pretty good job on Langsuan recently also. They got rid of the ridiculous planters that narrowed the walkable sidewalk to one person at a time. Hope that lasts.
  4. This is my bathroom ceiling in a condo I am renting. I am tired of looking at it. If I just scrape off the peeling paint and paint over it with a ceiling paint will it last for a year? I know it is best to prime it first but I want to do it quick and easy with no concerns about long lasting quality.
  5. I was happy to find Cholula at a reasonable price in Tops today. I'm still grieving the disappearance of Louisiana Hot Sauce but I'm happy to see that Frank's is back in stock everywhere.
  6. I predict that someday Wise will go out of business causing tremendous losses and sadly all of their account holders will realize that it is not a bank and their losses are not covered by any government agency (in the USA anyway).
  7. For more than ten years a group of renters in my condo used an agent located in the building for leases, maintenance, and paid the agent our rent. Unfortunately, the owner a couple months ago claimed that the agent did not forward some money to her and claimed that the agent had no authority to collect the rent and therefore all of her renters needed to pay one month's rent for December rent which was not forwarded to her. It was an absurd argument and demand. The owner claims that for the last 10+ years she never noticed that only the agent was depositing money into her account. It was ultimately resolved without the renters paying (as far as I know) but not before spreading anxiety and anger to all her renters. I teach Thai agency law and business law at a university in Bangkok! The law makes no difference to a landlord intent on keeping deposits and stealing money.
  8. Well, I am not so sure that is true. Seems like often folks with "years of dedicated practice" are devoted/addicted to the path and not awakening. It don't seem fair, but I suspect the man or woman that took some mushrooms or other hallucinogen and by golly had an awakening experience may learn just as much as the man or woman with "years of dedicated practice". Not always true, I am sure, but I don't discount it. I am not sure marijuana is a powerful enough hallucinogen to bring about surrender, but I don't know. In fact, I don't know anything.
  9. It's an oddity of life that many who received that letter will still vote against their own interests to elect the very people who have no intention to expand their benefits or genuinely work to make Medicare better.
  10. A friend of mine has a Non-B visa with a 1 year extension. He had to return to the USA for some family matters but is still working online for the Thai bank he works for. It seems like I once read somewhere that if you remain out of Thailand for more than 180 days your extension will be cancelled and you have to start the process over again. I believe he has a two year work permit and one year extension. He will be returning before the extension expires. Is that true or am I misremembering. 🙂
  11. I buy both lager and dark in cans all the time at Tops Central Silom and Tops Central Chidlom.
  12. I will never understand why they don't make the drainage holes and tubing bigger to prevent clogging and leaks!!!
  13. Seems to me that your masters want you to focus on immigration so you don't focus on the fact that you are their slaves.
  14. First time I ever watched Rogan, although I have heard of him. I didn't realize he was a moron. Go figure.
  15. I sure wish Kamala had looked at him and said, Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?
  16. I just completed this quiz. My Score 30/100 My Time 92 seconds  
  17. Players got to play!
  18. Thanks for the suggestions and links. I still hope to find a recommendation for a shop but I might give it doing it myself a try. The soundsticks are open now anyway as the glue has failed. Great sound, looks cool, but so damn poorly made!
  19. Thanks. Is that GO-Green in Chiang Mai? Google is not giving me anything about CBD Monsta either. I would like to give it a try. Any further details would be appreciated.
  20. Thanks. I ordered a few strains to try.
  21. Anyone know where I can get the satellite speakers repaired on Harman Kardon Soundsticks 3. I once had it done on a different set at Amorn in Chinatown, but they no longer can.
  22. It was not the advice I am seeking.
  23. Looks like I will need to mail the direct deposit form and possibly other documents to the Federal Benefits Unit at the US Embassy in the Philippines. What Thai Post service is best for this. Is it necessary to use EMS? I am not sure if EMS is as expensive as sending docs to the USA?
