Fat is a type of crazy

Sounds right. You’ll receive it at the partner rate rather than single rate assuming you and your partner have no issues with the income test. This might help a bit https://aboutretirement.com.au/age-pension-when-one-partner-is-eligible/

Disney has always been a bit corny with the message ‘it’s a small world after all’ and be good and nice and caring. The goalposts of what is good and nice maybe a bit more broad in 2023 but it’s the same general principle which is half admirable and half sickly sweet.

I wouldnt recommend the Australian apples I have had here. Cold storage a long time and mushy. Champu’s will do. Maybe some stores get them fresher.

A lot of comments I disagree with. Flip flopping may happen a lot but it doesn’t make it acceptable without a reasoned explanation. Too much and it is a concern for judgement and character. I think it is very reasonable for people to give Kamala additional scrutiny given the age of the prospective president. Not fate but statistics indicate a significant risk for Biden of failing to reach the end of his term as a 100 per cent able President as should surely be desirable. A higher risk with Biden may still be worthwhile given the options but let’s be better than others and not let loyalty or fandom diminish reality and the reasonable concerns of the electorate.

Probably fine for older expats. Wonder if it’s as Ok for say 16 to 25 year olds. In my youth a lot of dope smokers seemed dopey and it seemed to affect their ability to get things done. Some not all. I know they have to be a certain age to get it legally but easy to get. Research may show its dandy and fine.

The last paragraph encompasses your idea. Seems a bit lazy given it is well known Newtons laws have been updated or addressed in the 20th century and onwards. It is fascinating that the theory of an invisible something is now required to explain the universe. It does not smack of faith at all but an observation that all the preceding theories don’t cut it and dark matter is the best fit. Keep a line between best fit theory and faith. Science does and religion doesn’t. You know that.

Likely correct but we can hold say Vogue and Harpers Bazaar to different standards to say a serious newspaper that states objectivity or equal time as a core aim.

The magazines are biased. Some are run by people who think he’s a dick and don’t want to garner support for him. If it was a Republican candidate they and the readers liked they’d do something. Not the magazines job to support candidates they don’t like. They aren’t objective arbiters of giving equal time for both sides. Murdoch magazines will balance it a bit.

But if I recall in Issan you had super noisy neighbours. Or nearby dogs. Or both. That alone would get me out of there. Seriously.

I prefer Pothole Pete as next president rather than Sleepy Joe. He’s pretty good on interviews even on Fox News and he and Ron might make for an interesting debate. Rather than two people, one a hero and one a clear danger to his country, who should both hang up the boots.

I wonder if she liked her eighties hits. She didn’t like What’s love got to do with it but it was a huge hit. Simply the Best a dirge in my humble opinion. Maybe people like her honest lived in voice along with kind of corny 80’s lyrics and tunes and sentiments.

Khao Lak is nice at the moment. You gave it a go. Sometimes good to admit you’re not into culture and temples as much as you thought and get to the beach.

All 3 are more about feelings than science. You are not likely to get doctors or scientists talking about such issues except the first one where they may consider a broader definition is appropriate due to sociological research and such. In the Gervais example I think he didn’t like a put down about Tim Allen. Totally different issue. I find Tom Hanks interesting as he is interesting in interviews but many of his movies don’t do it for me. Forrest Gump seemed silly though I could only watch a little bit.

If he wins he wins but it would be nice for you to acknowledge given an objective look at the facts that, based on his inability to accept democratic outcomes so far, there is a huge threat of the same and worse in a second term. That that would be a serious concern. Maybe you have acknowledged this.

I think some of these right winger extremists were a bit like Trump. Not accepting the democratic process, ie the election results, but kind of half assed and not smart about doing something about it. I think some of these right wingers would be sitting in jail genuinely shocked that it came to this. It was part an attempt to overturn the election and part game. But they did in fact do the crime and now have to do the time.

The workers United shall never be defeated. What if she had 10 years as an employee, few sick days, well regarded, filled shifts when required. Then makes a fairly tame joke. Possibly had a bad day. Give her a training session on polite behaviour and put her back in the frey of what likely often is a pretty painful job to have.

If you look at productreview.com.au there are pages and pages of similar stories to yours. All with one star reviews. I thought Jetstar weren’t the best but nothing like this. I used to fly with them a decade ago but it looks like now they are completely beyond the pale.

I agree. It’s not about having to drink those brews from a Belgian monastery for $20 a bottle. Some of the beers I like still don’t rate that well on some of those sites that rate beers. Would be nice to have a bigger range at a fair price similar to Australia. No big wine tax too.

Should have a fullness to it and broad taste rather than beer flavoured water as someone else put it well. I used to like Chang long time ago but it seemed to change and become generic at some point.

Not a fan of CUB beers. I like Goat and Coopers and Mornington for normal priced beers. Tastes like beer.

You might have got used to it. Here on holiday and it really is poor compared to so many Australian beers.

Candle festival 2 August in Ubon is charming. Can go to temples and surrounds in days leading up and see people busily preparing the bits and pieces to go on the huge wax structures. Big parade probably happiest and most natural I have seen Thai people.

In relation to Agoda it is now chaotic in terms of prices. You can search 10 minutes apart and get different prices. A week later can be a fair bit different. It will be say $100 if go Agoda direct but if search the hotel by a travel site, or search engine such as google, the price by Agoda will be cheaper often by at least 10 per cent than direct. Probably because they are competing. There is an additional trick where you can book with hotels.com and pay a higher price but then send a screenshot of Agoda and they price match. Then hotels.com give a free night for every ten nights booked. Only worth it for long holidays. For travel insurance get the Bankwest credit card that has no annual fee and covers you for I think three months decent insurance at a time. Free. Also no fee for buying with foreign exchange compared to 3 or 4 per cent for many cards.

Tips for Australian tourists in Thailand 1 Subscribe to Jetstar newsletter and get return tickets for around $450. Last flight perfectly on time same other airlines. 2 Book accomodation via TripAdvisor and then Agoda. Seems obvious but going this way rather than other sites or direct to Agoda can save 50 per cent. Agoda much cheaper than others now for some reason. Some say ring hotel direct but doesn’t work for me. 3 Consider low season travel. Khao Lak in May has been lovely with nice weather. Good for Australians as winter time. I burn easily and don’t like sunshine all the time. 4 Pick big hotel with excellent buffet breakfast. Then only need a small nightly meal. 5 I like good chocolate. Bring from home. All a bit obvious but friends are going to Bali spending 4 times as much for similar hotel and relatively expensive fares etc. South of the equator so high season.
