What did you have for breakfast?
That's true for most granola sold these days, and why I stay away from them, although there are a few that don't use added sugar. They are still high in calories because of the dried fruit and nuts, and a serving size is pretty small, like a handful.

Are you HAPPY to be ALIVE?
Everyone besides narcissists, who prefer total control. Unless of course it's giving in to everything they ask, which would mean you are with a narcissist and in trouble.

Low wages? High wages, high prices, better living conditions, safer driving, everything you would want within all 48 connected states

Are you HAPPY to be ALIVE?
Retired, I can't enjoy my hobbies here, and the US is a much better place for my daughter to grow up, go to school, and get a career. re-locating will be a hassle, but it'll be the last time I move so it's worth it. If anything happens, I have Medicare. All my family is there also.

Tell that to the millions who enjoy living there, and to others like me who can't wait to return.

Often electricity outage and undervoltage
Have been thinking about it

How often do you check your aorta?
Do they have a back room at your doctor's office where you sleep? It seems like every other post you're either going to or coming from the doctors. How do you find time to go to the gym?

Often electricity outage and undervoltage
I'm not really sure. After talking to my son in law back home, he said this happens when not enough electricity is coming from the supplier. It doesn't happen much. The main problem is that most days the power goes off for just a few seconds, and I have to reboot my computer and load it, and I know this could harm it. The other problem is that the power has been going off almost weekly for an hour or more for many years, and this isn't normal. I also get mild shocks when touching my computer box and the microwave, so I know the builder didn't know much about proper grounding.

Any real men in this generation
I stay away from things that aren't worth my time. Preferring to educate myself on things I'm interested in. A real man does not cheat on his partner. One at a time of course I meant. A man needs only one.(at a time if things don't work out). A boy has to fulfill his ego by "conquering" many unsuspecting girls. Open relationships aren't respectful towards your partner unless they also want an open relationship, then what's the use? I did not say a real man could not be gay. Transexualism isn't being a man. Just because something is "modern" doesn't make it right.Religions that promote more than one partner are of course "man" made, by those without respect towards women.

It's actually right on, and I'm not your sweetheart. I mop my own floors.

Unskilled labor opportunities in Pattaya
They have a quota system whereby they let in some. Those that fly there and expect to get off the plane to work usually get sent back. My ex tried to go, asking the Korean embassy here and they refused her.

Urgent Calls for Stricter Controls on Dangerous Dogs after Fatal Attacks
You can also say that about your home country, which has much less people than the US.

Urgent Calls for Stricter Controls on Dangerous Dogs after Fatal Attacks
Being kind to any living creature is what you do. Only a narcissists or abusive person has to control others by abuse. You can be the boss if you start early and set the rules. A dog that's treated well will want to please it's owner. Being stern doesn't mean being cruel. Cruel is exactly what the word means. I've had dogs all of my life and rarely felt the need to hit any of them, and they never attacked anyone else, let alone me. The same with my children. I can count on one hand all the times I thought I had to hit all 6 of them, the last 4 never hit at all, and it made me feel worse then they did, as it wasn't abusive. They all grew up respectful of others and animals.

Urgent Calls for Stricter Controls on Dangerous Dogs after Fatal Attacks
Not bad but dangerous. Any dog can bite but these breeds can cause massive damage very fast to anyone, let alone a child or elderly person. I'm a dog lover and have seen many of these dogs act gentle and loving. They might not ever do anything wrong against a person, but every year a dog that's owned by a person who's taken care of them in a loving way has attacked, seemingly without provocation. A dog looks at us like another dog in ways, and what's not aggressive behavior to us might be to a dog. My uncle had a Doberman from a pup. It broke it's leg and he waited on it hand and foot until it recovered. If you dropped anything on the floor, it was his, period. I didn't know this until he told me after I bent down to pick up something she was playing with. Luckily I was very young and not perceived as a threat because the same day I saw him go after others in an aggressive manner. He spoiled that dog until it felt it was in charge. These dogs should only be used for military and police activities. No one with small children should ever have them as a pet, even though we see many instances of these breeds acting okay with kids. Isn't worth the risk as there are many other breeds.

Swedish Man Scammed by Thai Woman, Loses Over 300,000 Baht
Actually about 1 million move there and get green cards a year. The tourists far outnumber this. Over 65 million last year alone. The US, again, has everything anyone could want from any country worldwide, and every country has violence, including this one where most of it you'll never hear about unless you research. Thinking your safer here more than back there is wrong thinking. Attacks on innocents happen here daily, and a lot are against foreigners. You only see a fraction of what goes on here.

Just like I said to him. You can't generalize about anywhere because what you see is usually only in the big cities and in certain areas. There are poor people by the billions worldwide in every country. Most people are just getting by no matter how many rich there happen to be. All countries have sick places, mainly because of the rich and powerful only caring about themselves and their friends. Money is put towards the military when it's needed in many other places. People look for votes in many crazy ways. As long as they get elected, they'll promise anything and even make laws trying to show they care.

Actually a lot of men fall for women because of their looks, and lose their heads, at least temporarily. The women who do this are scum of the earth, and it's not surprising when some disappear or are found beaten or dead somewhere. The more this happens, the more it gets around, the more victims there will be on both sides.

Swedish Man Scammed by Thai Woman, Loses Over 300,000 Baht
I hear about this a lot , both from my girlfriend and others. She has a friend who told her she was getting 80,000 baht a month from a guy in Belgium. This girl has 2 kds. One from a Thai and another from a foreigner, and she has different men every day at her coffee shop close to my girlfriends house. I explained to my gf that she's a bullsh*ter, that 80K is more than many men make a month, let alone can afford to give away to someone they've never met. Of course he stopped his gifts to her, probably realizing what she's about.
