Stadtler

All because we can't order the "original recipe."

not sanitizing the cow's teats properly.

Stadtler finds this notion most alluring.  Stadtler was totally unaware that cow teats needed sanitation.  Stadtler assumed that cows much like cats, clean their own teats.

Is there a proper way to clean the teats on anyone other than a cow?  Mrs Stadtler is also curious as she thinks it might be an interesting new version of foreplay.

Is there anyone in Thailand that is making cheese in a big way?

One of Stadtler's greatest pleasures, is to cut the cheese.  For some odd reason, Mrs. Stadtler is not fond of Stadtler involving himself with cutting of any cheese.  Mrs. Stadtler prefers to cut her own cheese.

You can return it, friendly with a smile. What I would do? Eat it, as much as I could, and not make a big deal out of it. I would then buy a book about Thai culture and start learning the dos and don'ts in Thailand. This country is very different from the one we come from, and we should treasure that we are allowed to live here rather than to complain the Thai ways.

Stadtler will nice.  He doesn't want to be.

Stadtler wonders if Thais in America feel the same.  Stadtler doubts it.

Thais all over the world must laugh at how submissive some of us are.

The problem with chickpea powder is that it is prone to cause gas

Stadtler since passing age 80 has always had a "gas" problem.  He wasn't aware that the gas came from chick peas.

Which is about 6%.  If it were 100 and 98 it would be 2%

So when they rip you off, they tell you the truth. Still, the surprise fee comes from your bank, not the ATM transaction.

So long as Stadtler can still buy a handgun on Lazada, Stadtler is OK with the online ban.

This is a joke? It's about school safety that is suppose to the responsibility of school administration and wasn't.

School administration?  What is that?

Order takers and bank deposits are what they excel at doing.

And once again to preaching to the choir....just for other listening in....some card-issuing banks who have foreign transaction fees on the cards....let's say for discussion 3%....might still apply that 3% fee which is more salt in the wound. 

 

They apply the 3% fee not because the exchange involved foreign currency but simply because it was a foreign transaction in any currency....THB, USD, EUR, etc.   Only the most fee-evil banks apply the fee in this way.  And unless something has changed, for those Bank of America credit/debit cards which have a foreign transaction fee (some do, some don't) that's how BoA applies the fee....applies it regardless of currency involved. 

 

The less fee-evil banks will not charge the foreign transaction if the ATM/merchant accomplished the exchange to USD on the ATM/merchant end versus letting Visa/Mastercard do it.

TDbank steals 3 percent in a fee attached to your transaction, which is placed on your account not at the time of the transaction, but hours later.

If you withdraw enough, the 3 percent fee could overdraw your account and you wouldn't know it.

Wow.....5.9% margin....or put in layman's terms a 5.9% lower exchange rate....5.9% more profit for the merchant.  What I've typically experienced is around 2.75-3%. 

The exchange rate at Bangkok Bank is just shy of 31 Baht for One Dollar.  Where is the 5.9 percent? 31 Baht minus 29 gives a difference of roughly 2 Baht.

I always cringe when I see meats and vegetables being handled by numerous Thai shoppers...how many have just come from the toilet...or have not washed their hands all day?  Gloves would be a big improvement!

Don't forget the nose pickers.

This is actually on par or less fees than using transferwise. Am I missing something?

Stadtler also has accounts at TD. Wait until you see the 3 percent fee for international processing that will be tacked onto your transaction.  Stadtler's other bank charges 1 percent.  Stadtler asked TD what they do for the extra 2 percent but to date, Stadtler has not received a response. 

The charge will show up on your bank statement, not the ATM transaction.

Surprise Surprise ...

Stadler, can’t you run for president? You are at least as competent, but magnitudes more funny, than the current two <deleted> candidates! 

Stadtler is older than Biden and Trump combined.  Stadtler will give it some thought and create an exploratory committee if necessary.

Let us also not forget that everything that Stadtler claims about himself is alleged. Something that as a lawyer, if Stadtler is indeed a lawyer, you would expect him to understand.

Stadtler was a first person witness to Stadtler's attendance at law school.  You could ask Stadtler in court, under oath, or at a deposition if you feel inclined to sue Stadtler.

Why your wife not do it? 

She the boss right?

 

Do you think Thailand do good job control covid? 

 

I think it finished already in Thailand. But must be careful, wear mask, hand gel, temperature  etc. I hope that. 

 

Not want to be same before again. Terrible.

STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES.

The Thais have China on the safe list.  Good job?  You have to keep Thailand clear, not invite Chinese who will 100 percent bring you more virus.

Let Stadtler know Yinn when you're tired of riding the merry-go-round.

This is precisely the reason Stadtler saved his money and kept the child home.
