  1. If its that bad why are you here Bob?
  2. There are a couple countries that Wise will not take a debit or credit transfers from. They also will not take a US card if the Wise account address doesn't match the US card address. I believe that's a requirement of the US card issuers\Banks and is enforced by Wise. I believe it's for scam prevention.
  3. I had the same type of bite from a small tick 2 years ago and it took about 1 year for the lump to go away and the itching to stop. The skin in that area is still discolored. I went to the Dr in thailand with no luck from the medicine. I also went to a US Dr in the states and got Triamcinolone creme which help some but it just took time. Wife got a small insect that spray a chemical on her shoulder causing a skin burn that itched and discolored her skin which is still discolored 3 year now. Several insects can cause this apparently. Go see a dermatologist if you need meds or want to get it checked
  4. I don't see by the comments you posted that have been said don't seem to constitute a desperate attempt to be your gf. Anyway, have you thought about actually talking to them and explaining your view of how you want to proceed. That will sort out everything quickly for both you and the girl.
  5. No the thread is not nearly long enough and he didn't follow with 25 replies to his own post
  6. My opinion is that the concept of "online trending" is a media construct. Media outlets create impressions of what's trending and what's popular for their own benefit to enhance use of their service or platform. How many times have you seen "taking internet by storm" or so popular it "crash the internet" or other like promotions. As you mentioned you use little to no social media and your life continues to function normally. Thats a win in my book
  7. He should be worried as laminated wood on a stair edge is not a great idea although may look good at original installation. The stair edge gets the most pressure and contact during use. They will continue to wear and chip over time. If it were me I would look at removing and replacing that detail with a solid wood stair edge cap. Not sure exactly the construction of the tread and laminate edge so you may have to replace the whole stair tread to deal with an edge cap replacement if you go that route
  8. Check your spyware and security software settings. Disconnect from the internet and then turn off your security software and see what happens to cpu usage. Something is obviously running in the background to keep the usage up and if all other programs are closed there only a few options that would cause this and hdd or ssd will not be part of the issue unless they delay or crash functioning of a program while its being used.
  9. Didn't they just announce in the last couple days they shut the solar purchase program down or will quite shortly for new applicants due to safety reasons? The article was in bankkok post this week
  10. Thats scary that based on the questions you listed you think you know a lot about business in Thailand. I suspect you have average knowledge based on those posted questions and shouldn't ridicule others for their questions or comments.
  11. CD's aren't savings accounts.
  12. I would add NO Cell Phone Use on the bike minimum 30 days loss of bike and if 2nd time 6 months you lose the bike. Teach her to ride properly and what to watch out for so she can understand what's really at stake. If there's a local bike accident, take her to see what can happen.
  13. Thats about the only play you have is to communicate clearly but directly about your concerns and why they are concerns. I would try to work on it in pieces so its not overwhelming to either of you and easier to make small but positive changes Don't expect any immediate and quick changes as it will be a process to get her re-invested in the the family and home rather than the card games
  14. good luck with that but I wouldnt waste any money pursuing that idea as you will lose in the end despite what you think about having an "expensive lawyer". Your in thailand and you have no legal standing.
  15. It seems there is an issue more with the son than the mom. If the boy hates being at your house to the point he runs away like you describe that's where attention needs to be shown. I would be working on the issues with the son and resolve that as that's where the problem is.
  16. The term "Self Insured" is an inaccurate term in my opinion as it implies that you have sufficient assets set aside just for Medical Emergencies. Oddly there is no guide or directive that shows how many assets you must have set aside for "Self Insurance". Self pay is a more accurate term to be used unless you have assets segregated exclusively and sufficiently to cover the major medical expenses that could occur, which I'm betting most people dont.
  17. Bad advice to suggest bribing any govt offical. You just asking for more problems and expectations in the future
  18. Do you have a filter in your brain that checks what you think before you write it? Read your own comments and responses as if someone else wrote them and I think you will see most of the discrimination is within you and your projecting it to others
  19. Nowhere in what you wrote shows any discrimination so you may want to review your thoughts. It seems more like your focused on negative actions to the point that anything that happens you automatically associate it to discrimnation against you. Focus on your own actions and don't worry about what others do as they may be reacting for different reasons than your imagining.
  20. No they had it infinitely worse than anything you're experiencing and shouldn't even come into the conversation as a comparison.
  21. You can't control what others think or feel, only your own actions. If someone is uncomfortable around you and you aren't doing anything to promote that issue then it's on the other person not you. Not sure where you live that you have such experiences but maybe a change of area would show you a different reaction set. What you describe is nothing remotely like you portray about blacks and the civil rights movement.
  22. They post the time schedule at the station when you buy the ticket. Did you not look to see the schedule or just want to complain.
  23. In a condo structure you own and are responsible only for items inside your condo, interior wall to wall and floor to ceiling. Any service running to your condo, water, electric and gas are common area elements and building responsibility untill the service enters your condo.
  24. Your getting a variety if conflicting info here. You need to establish who the juristic entity is and get a copy of the Condo docs\regulations. You should also have a board of directors to hold meetings and interface with the juristic entity. Those docs should spell out what you own and are responsible for. Condos generally it's interior wall to wall and ceiling to floor with all exterior envelope owned and funded by the master condo entity from your HOA fees. It should also spell out what are considered common areas, what are considered restricted use common areas (typically balcony's, terraces or patios) as well as having proper financial budgets set for monthly operating contract expenses and repairs, a annual capital expense budget for common area maintenance and upkeep and a reserve capital plan and budget for long term maintenance, typically a 25 year plan. My guess is your building like most here has next to none of those and is a financial disaster waiting to happen.
