Are they sliding doors or hinged?

Hinged...big and heavy too...very thick glass

We have 2 large glass doors that use pneumatic air shocks in the upper casing to ease the opening and closing of the doors.

Anyone know of a good repair person for this sort of door? It is not commonly found and we have had bad experiences with our last

two repair jobs.

TIA

came back up about 15 mins ago... local problem i guess.

Called into their office about 2 hrs ago and they said they are experiencing problems. Is this localized or wide spread?

my wife, daughter (10 yrs old) and I all use other doctors at that clinic....no complaints in 5 yrs from us

I like the kind of Mexican food that you are talking about a lot, but I LOVE the stuff with avocado and sour cream. My first job in SF was working at a deli with burritos near the Embaradero, run by a Mexican guy. I had never had good Mexican food on the East coast and had never tried avocado or guacamole before. I got hooked on all of them right away. If I could have any one food from America - just like it is there - it would be a Mission Street super-burrito. Number two would be a New York style pizza.

i hear ya, Ulysses... but man, might as well just take one of the huge burritos and stuff it right into your aorta... especially if you have the whole load of refried beans, avos, sour cream...

we are fortunate to have a rather steady supply of dried mexican chilies in our home and we make our fair share of mexican food, but burritos is at the bottom of my list... in fact, cannot remember making one for over 10 yrs... tamales, enchiladas, tacos, guac, chilaquiles, nachos, chile verde and roja... now that is mexican food in my book... the wife (thai) is begging my mom for some real Oaxacan mole recipes... let's see if they materialize...

so you are saying that in refreid beans there is a lot of oil?

I like veggie supreme in taco bell, but I could do without sour cream and chease, put some tofu inside instead.......

you must be mexican so good for you, why there are no mexicans in Thaialdn, they know how to cook, not some idiot falang, who cant cook black beans and basically murders taste buds of anybody coming to his place,I am still angry at that guy in Sunrise tacos in BKK, that is the only thing I was dissapointed in my life eating out basically, what a douche

well, old school refried beans are first cooked (overnight) in water, then drained, then a big pot of (almost) boiling LARD is poured over them (talking about restaurant sized cooking)... then, left to sit...then before being served, they are quickly reheated (re-fried) in lard, again..and that is the tastiest (though not the healthiest) way i have ever had beans

Oaxacan recipe did she get them there or out of a book or as seems to be the way this thread is going out of a restaurant in America? Been years since I was there but found the food very good.

my mom has acquired all her recipes over a long life of cooking and traveling to mexico... so yes, she got the recipes down in Oaxaca

So I guess you could interpret those posts as a big NO.

I don't know how you interpret "Best Option" as "No" or my thumbs up or the one that you missed, but lettuce in burritos is common on Mission Street in San Francisco which is one of the most famous places for burritos in the world.

A Mission burrito (also known as a San Francisco burrito or a Mission-style burrito) is a type of burrito that first became popular during the 1960s in the Mission District of San Francisco, California. It is distinguished from other burritos by its large size and inclusion of extra rice and other ingredients. It has been referred to as one of two major styles of burritos in the United States.

i grew up in the bay area and before i retired to thailand had lived in SFO for 17 yrs (my longest continuous stay in USA to date)... anyways, as a first gen mexican who grew up in mexican restaurants (we had 3) and who favors Northern mexican food, i can say that i have never liked and don't eat those Mission street style burritos... burritos when i grew up never had avocado, sour cream, or even rice and beans IN them... maybe on the side, but never all wrapped up in one ginormous tortilla... which is to say, that food preferences are very individual.. one man's ceiling is another man's floor, one man's mother is another man's....

well, lets not get crude over it, but food is many things to many people...

have not used the inline rink... but seen it, quite small and was filled with very young children the couple of times i saw it open

price aside... if it looks crowded, i suggest not going in... there is very little safety/rules enforcement on the ice and more that a few times, kids have been taken out and off to the hospital (broken bones)... so be careful and pick your time and a good time can be had by all... we used to go weekly and now only go like maybe once a month or so.

PM me if you want phone number of a good music teaching school - our daughter started there when she was 7, on the piano... they also teach violin and a few other instruments i believe.. in english..school is located off the 1001 road to maejo, before the ruamchok intersection (if you are coming from town)

i just felt an aftershock at 6:10 am here in sansai

So what’s the difference between pizza and flatbread anyway?

If I’m being honest, I don’t really know the answer.

With the bit of research I did, it seemed to all boil down to semantics. That being said, if I were to give them loose definitions I would say pizza uses red sauce and flatbreads do not — also, the pizza crust is more likely to be thin for a flatbread.

that came from a cooking website... guess i will just have to try it myself

oh, like you have never seen 3 eye stores within 50 feet or 2 7/11s across the street from eachother...

anyways... still does not tell me what flatbread is

WHat? no pizza? what is flat bread - pizza by another name?

i had the same thought the other day... a couple of area rugs that have been down for about 5 yrs... let me know if you find a place/person.

thanks

yes, a couple of emails have come out from CMIS admin to the parents, confirming the fake bomb story.

Just heard from a CMIS parent that when they went to pick up their kids (around 2:45 today)... that they were shutting CMIS down to traffic and

the school guards told her a bomb (or bomb threat?) had been found at prince royal.

anyone else know about this?

Thai's generally don't involve grade schools in their political shenanigans.....

here is one cost comparison for the two places... I once considered Edcuador, along with Panama, Brasil and Mexico.... for my own reasons, i chose thailand

we have "watchdog" service on our 4g phone and we never ever go over our 4 gig usage allotment... we download plenty of vids ... watch youtube,

download large files, attachments, etc.. so, as usual, mileage may vary...

i know there is some math involved here, but too lazy to figure it out... i mean a whole good quality movie is down to 700mgs these days...

check the usual FB pages (we love CM, falang in CM, etc)... i just saw today, for the first time, someone advertising a babysitting service ....

called happy baby or something like that

well, no small part of the problem will begin with quality of video (HD being the most bandwidth demanding) and where the video is located.

From there, you then have the problem of the True (both kinds of true) bandwidth being provided. We have 4G on our note3 and around town it is spotty, but in some of the "good" areas, it is rock solid and speedtest tells me i am getting 40+... then in other parts of town, it still might say 4G and i only get 20+.

Now, both those are higher than my home DSL (a 10 Mb line) but even at home, i can get really crappy speeds to USA/Europe and fine speeds to

Japan or HK... sometimes it depends on time of day, day of week or color of shirt I am wearing!

This is Thailand...protect yourself at all times and only believe 1/2 of what you see and 1/4 of what you read...
