Changes at my local barber.
You can question it politely. But I suggest you still look for another barber. A different price for a foreigner for a haircut is rediculous

Biden plans for retaliatory strikes against Iranian targets in Syria and Iraq.
American troops have been stationed around the world for decades. This is done to protect US interests. And also to have defensive positions in the event of an attack against the United States. American troops being stationed around the world have nothing to do specifically with Biden. If this were the case. Then you can blame many American Presidents. As for the extreme case of using these troops to protect our borders. There is a specific act controlling the the use of federal troops for domestic purposes. I will paste it at the end. . I believe Biden he is the lesser of two evils compared to Trump. But do I personally believe Biden is a strong, effective President. No I do not. Posse Comitatus Act bars federal troops from participating in civilian law enforcement except when expressly authorized by law. This 143-year-old law embodies an American tradition that sees military interference in civilian affairs as a threat to both democracy and personal liberty.

Beef steaks - Big C , Makro
To the OP. I bet you paid a high price for this villa.including private chef. This chef should know where and what products to purchase. If this chef does not. You should question why. And if have time or can get out of it, look for another chef. I cannot recommend specifically where to purchase superior beef you are looking for. But I would stay away from supermarkets such as Big C or Lotus.

I'm not a doctor, but...
My cholesterol was high the past few years. Doctors in USA told me to watch my diet. My diet hadn’t changed but I made some changes. Still no improvement. When I moved to Bangkok about four years ago I had my yearly physicals at Bumrungard Hospital. With all necessary medical treatments. Since the cholesterol issue was not related to diet I was sent to see an Endocrine specialist. She put me on Livalo a statin. That quickly reduced my cholesterol and maintained it at a normal level. I had to get blood work every three months. Not only do they want to see if it’s working. The statins can have a chemical adverse effect on the muscles. So it has to be monitored. And any muscle aches should be reported to the doctor. And also of course it’s monitored to make sure it’s maintaining the cholesterol level properly. I was first put on a non statin , then a statin that didn’t work well. I also suggest she takes Coq 10 supplement to try to prevent any muscle aches or keep it minimal.

Car Blocking the Entrance to my House.
Unfortunately there is nothing illegal about it. But it’s an inconvenience and discourtesy. The OP had the right to speak to the person. What is the good of living in a place where you have to be afraid of your shadow. And just accept what anyone does to you. Just because you are a so called “guest “ in Thailand. Doesn’t mean you have to accept everything that happens to you. Some people on here complain how dangerous the West is. But they are afraid to approach a local about an issue for fear of repercussions.

Ophthalmologist Report
Just out of curiosity. What was the diagnosis of the Opthamologist in America for this same condition. And what was the course of treatment?

A matter of preference. Fine. But why?
Maybe these so called less physical attractive people have other things going for them. Such as a good income, health insurance, money in the bank. Things that women other than in a third world country might find attractive . And they can live comfortably not only in countries such as Thailand.

Can I take ten joints in a domestic flight?
It’s amazing how so many people complain about how expensive things are in Thailand. How they are getting ripped off by even a few baht. And can’t even afford certain things. But they have enough money to buy weed.

Sore Throat & Diarrhea Virus
If it persists and that severe you should see a doctor. Could be caused by so many different issues. Might have to also use a stool sample for diagnosis. And other lab testing. Very important to keep yourself hydrated in your condition.

Looking for help
The time it takes to really get to know her, trust her, feelings, is based on the individual’s. No one can give an answer. Keep in mind that she is still married. And has personal issues. I would advise you to find someone else and not get involved with her. Just for the reason she is married. Find someone whe is more stable and not married.

Pickpocketed on the MRT
To the OP. Unfortunately things like this happen especially in large cities. Especially that attract tourists. They probably viewed you as a tourist that didn’t know any better. It could have happened to anyone. And the people that criticize you about it happening to you. Well if it happened to them they would be the first to whine about it.
