  1. Right, this is from fantasists, gun fondlers. I would like to see the average angry gun owner try and take on Seal Team 6.
  2. I don't know about needing a vaccine, that's why I asked "Is it needed?". I saw a video of someone who had it and had terrible sores on face, neck, chest - I definitely don't want that.
  3. Is monkeypox vaccination available in Thailand? Is it needed? In the US very restrictive eligibility.
  4. 'The site onwardflights.com has been "suspended" ' Seems to be accessible now.
  5. Wow, that bugs you? I can't imagine that.
  6. Actually, I have been wondering about BBC shows we get in the US. In those shows interracial couples are very common, much more common that what I think we see in the US. Does that reflect the reality in the UK?
  7. " if your govt pension is approx $1150 or more you will get more baht in your acct if using the ACH method but as mentioned earlier only Bangkok Bank offers the ACH method which requires the special/restricted acct. But if you receive less than approx $1150 then you will be better off using the IDD method in terms of most baht in your acct." How much is the difference for greater than $1150? Is it in the less than 1% range or is it substantial?
  8. There was no similar violent event that you can point to as a result of Obama's speech. The great Philly riot! I remember it well! Not.
  9. Mr. Cat Stevens said it nicely.
  10. The Boxtops "The Letter" was a little masterpiece. Oh the horn arrangements in that song. Thanks for that nugget about the length of the number one songs. Fun facts.
  11. Talent is of course huge, essential. Some talented folks (musicians, athletes, whatever) practice hard and don't realize that for those of us without talent no amount of practice will do. But at the top level practice can give an edge, his opponents used to say about the hard-practicing Larry Bird "The more Bird practices the luckier he gets". Also Steve Nash who was an NBA great said "If every basketball player worked as hard as I did, I'd be out of a job." He was recognizing his level of talent needed hard work to stay at the top level. But you hear a lot of successful people who work hard (and have worked hard) who don't realize that without the talent that allows hard work to lead to progress, they would not have succeeded on hard work alone.
  12. Was a song by Bobby Bland in 1961, so was maybe current slang before Mr. T started saying it.
  13. "You live in the U.S." That kind of sums it up.
  14. "You must be the only farang who likes the music." I like Morlam and other traditional music. To me it isn't that different from western music, but I know it isn't for everybody. I guess I am sort of a world music dork, but I find a lot of different music interesting.
  15. "There are 3 situations when Medicare may pay for certain types of health care services you get in a foreign hospital (a hospital outside the U.S.): You’re in the U.S. when you have a medical emergency, and the foreign hospital is closer than the nearest U.S. hospital that can treat your illness or injury. You’re traveling through Canada without unreasonable delay by the most direct route between Alaska and another state when a medical emergency occurs, and the Canadian hospital is closer than the nearest U.S. hospital that can treat your illness or injury. Medicare determines what qualifies as “without unreasonable delay” on a case-by-case basis. You live in the U.S. and the foreign hospital is closer to your home than the nearest U.S. hospital that can treat your medical condition, regardless of whether it’s an emergency." "Except in the limited situations described on page 1, Medicare doesn’t pay for health care services you get outside the U.S." Seems like care in Thailand is not one of these 3 situations.
