You seem like a very sensitive and intuitive type, full of introspection. Maybe you would like this washing-machine selection, instead?: If only you had a woman such as this.... To do your laundry.... Nobody could be so unhappy...if only one did.....

Maybe what you need is some....washing-machine music.....? Plus.... Plenty of Purple Berries....

The final option.

Still....I find it rather peaceful to be staring at the blinking lights..... Now I think I understand the ZEN of Clothes-washing....in the dark.....

Listen guys! Have you ever wondered why your wives can just stand and watch their washing machines progress from one cycle to the next cycle? Women love to watch their washing machines agitate and spin. Did you ever wonder why they become so fixated on the workings of their machines? Well...I would tell you...but.....then.... What would be the point? Let's just say that I am one who....actually....KNOWS....!

You're missing out on things that provide TRUE MEANING IN LIFE.... Perhaps it's you that hasn't the clue.

You know..... One of the very best things about not have a GF is.... There is nobody to tell you when you can, or cannot, do you laundry. There are very few things better than this in life..... And, the older we get, the more we realize just how true this is.

Dear Friends, Being a Super-Clean Farang, I wanted to share with you my thoughts concerning how I, personally, keep myself, and my clothes, super clean. Fortunately, I have the help of a Korean manufacturer.....SAMSUNG. In the past, I recall that I made some observations about Samsung washing machines that I had, frequently in the past, used without being much impressed. However, I think it might have been the fact that, due to those machines being poorly maintained, or just extremely old, I mistakenly provided an inaccurate view of my radically changed view of SAMSUNG Products sold in Thailand, at least, for example, Samsung memory, Samsung refrigerators, and Samsung washing machines.....(BUT, I still do not like the Samsung ACs that I have used in Thailand's guesthouses where I have stayed. My opinion about my new 16Kg washing machine that I purchased a short time ago is that: This Samsung washing machine is a BEAST.....but an extremely quiet beast.....in fact....WHISPER QUIET. The Samsung machine I purchased....I now love....for many reasons. 1. It's quiet. 2. It's stable. 3. It does the job. 4. It keeps this Farang fairly clean, which can't be easy. Some say that Farang are not as clean as Asians, but I DO NOT think so. I think that, if any Farang were to buy a Samsung washing machine, same as I did, then... Even Farang could have laundry JUST as CLEAN as the laundry washed by Koreans in Korea. The reason for this Topic is TWO-FOLD.... a. Some time back, I commented on the poor performance of the coin-operated washing machines I had used at guesthouses and in village-stores, and what-not....BUT.... This was not really a valid test. Therefore, I now want to amend my assessment to provide a more accurate view of what I actually think. b. What I think is that this Samsung washing machine is .....AMAZINGLY GREAT for the money I paid. I am SUPER, DUPER, happy with its performance. It cleans well, even for a Farang. I have ZERO complaints. I think if you check back in past Topics, then you can find the exact model of this machine which I purchased...and.... I am very glad I chose this Samsung model. c. So....IF....I had a GF, and were not as celibate as I am....the FIRST thing I would do would be to buy an extra machine for my GF....i.e... i. One machine for my GF to use.... ii. And, one machine for me to continue to use.... iii. I would never allow my GF, or anyone else, to even handle my Samsung machine.....meaning I do love it this much. =============== I will be happy to reply to any valid and sincere questions concerning my impressions of the Samsung BEAST washing machine I bought. Also...PLEASE....do NOT talk to me about any SIDE-LOADERS or FRONT-LOADERS...because.... I am just too happy with this TOP-LOADER. =========== In conclusion, for those that might mistakenly believe that I did not actually buy this machine.... HERE are two photos of my machine....set on.... SUPER-DUPER CLEAN CYCLE.... And, please believe me.... This Super-Clean cycle works. Also, please note from the images... I have every setting cranked up to the very TOP. Water level, Wash time, number of rinses, and number of spins....the entire schlemiel....(that's Philly talk).... Meaning that.... I do not care about time...because.... It's only 12:42AM, so far, and I still have hours of darkness before the sun returns...when I will hang this load.... To dry. I am a bonehead for not buying this machine....far sooner. If you have a GF...then....get one for her...and...also... One for yourself. This is what I would do.... In a heartbeat. I am please as punch to be using a machine as fine as this one.... Almost gets me quite hard, every time I do. No joke.... Buy this machine....if you can get it for the same price I paid. It's a keeper. Best regards, Thinking of you and your beloved who washes your clothes.... Gamma

Sorry, but this reply to your comment was, about 30-minutes ago, interrupted by some company called....as I recall....Ivermectin Community Services, or something, due to an "UPDATE"....not sure why. Anyway, I think we are now back on track. If I can recover my train of thought after this interruption, I was in the process of saying: The name of my water company, the one that provides me with a steady supply of superb water, reliably, rain or shine...is.... GUNGA DIN Water Works. You can google the name, and try it for yourself. Everyone worries about water, these days. Speaking of Gunga Din..... Did you know where this name originated, and what made this water-company's name so famous? It's based on an obscure poem written by my alum, Rudyard Kipling...and..... It goes like this..... I just LOVE the part when this poem goes..... DIN! DIN! DIN! Reminds me of .... RIN! TIN! TIN! Rin-Tin-Tin was, just like Gunga.... Such a loyal old dog. Shrooms are not for the likes of me.... Not necessary. But, water is what we are made of....as you know. This is why I drink only water delivered to me by.... GUNGA DIN Water Works. Google it.... Buy it..... And, happy hydrating...... Regards, Gamma Did they mention some old water bag? Now, my company delivers in PE Jugs.

Best cheap purchase I have ever made? OZONATED WATER: 20 Liters Baht 25 By the Jug I use a great company with excellent service. Haven't got sick once..... Which, I might add, is far better than my track record with those purple berries I have been eating, found in my front yard. And it's a fair wind, blowin' warm.... Here in Chiang Mai. I am happy with my water company! They carry my water for me. NOTE4: Price inclusive..... Wait: Isn't that some sort of English Idiom....or something?

Could be... EXCEPT... I noticed that later this afternoon.... Traffic Control reversed the direction of landings. So....one might suppose.... This is not the reason. I think the reason is that Traffic Control just wants aircraft to BUZZ us.... From the opposite direction.... Once in a while. This is all that makes sense to me. NOTE4: By the way, I would say that anyone who intends living in one place, here in Chiang Mai, pay particularly close attention to airport related noise..IF...one hopes to retain one's sanity....as have I. Also, I would say that if I had it to do over again.... I would build a house with an underground bunker. Having an underground bunker, completely impervious to external noise, is so crucial for general well-being. An underground bunker can protect us from roosters, low-flying aircraft, barking dogs, motorsickles, heavy diesel trucks, Motorsickle Gangs on their Loud Harleys, Loi Krathong Fireworks, and just SO MUCH MORE.....! And... It's all about CONTROL. IF one can control the noise, then there is far less stress. For example, IF one has an underground bunker...then... Once can easily stay above ground, most of the time, and not feel stress...because... It is this capacity to CONTROL the noise that provides peace of mind. Just by having a SOUNDPROOF RETREAT, under one's house... Then, stress is relieved. One can, at anytime....just go underground... Turn on one's computer, in peace and quiet, and post Topics on TV. Also, have a bed down there, too...just in case the noise lasts for more than eight hours. Yes, My Friends.... Having an underground Sound Bunker...is a Moral Imperative....to protects against losing one's mind. But REALLY..... I am still designing my DREAM ROOM...underground.... Something like this... Only Quieter.... IMHO... Almost NOBODY should live in Chiang Mai without a room this good, or better.... A room like this can protect Farang from both Noise and Smoke....

This site does not seem to work on my computer....(or at least...the search function might not).... Maybe I just do not know how to use this site. Anyway, why pay for what is freely available elsewhere...in most cases?

While I realize that this is logical, I also have read somewhere, that at these lower wind-speeds, most larger aircraft are not that much affected. Also, from my experience, is is crosswind takeoffs and landings that are a bit more hairy. This is why I asked the question. Might it be that the guys in traffic control are just trying to keep us on our toes, just by mixing things up a bit, whenever we least expect it? Also, another reason for this Topic is to advise, once more....to newcomers who are looking for a lace to buy or rent.... Perhaps they should think long and hard before finalizing their purchase... So that they can find a place where aircraft noise near the airport will be less of an issue.... IF they are sensitive to aircraft noise, obviously.

Why not just not worry about not being able to do what you once could, which probably wasn't all that healthy, and might have been no more than a bad habit which should have been replaced long ago, perhaps with a different pastime, such as reading serious literature and the discussion of same with your GF/Wife, or perfecting an even more solitary pursuit, such as water colors, like those two great artists, Monet and Manet?

The only real problem for someone moving to Thailand, long-term, is noise. All other hurdles can be overcome, given time. Noise can NEVER be compensated for, no matter how long you wait. In fact, the noise just continues to increase, year by year.

Good idea about getting one of these auto-vacuum cleaners. But, will it do corners on wood floors? Here where I live in CM, the dust is horrendous. I might need only one. But, I think I will first check-out what great deals I can get from China. Sometimes you can get super deals if you have a friend in China.

I think it is mostly the fact that women attacking men has been recently on the increase. Some now, the women, have stated they will go on strike, and that they will become... Completely celibate. Actually, I do not blame the women, that much. So many guys here that might not be completely appealing to the younger women... In every way.

Dear Friends, As far as I have been able to observe, it seems that aircraft at Chiang Mai airport are now taking off to the south, and landing on runway 18. Why is this? Is this to avoid flying lanterns due to the festival in Chiang Mai, today, or might this be a more permanent change? Here is what I am talkin' 'bout..... So what this means is that, for those living to the south of the airport, the noise level will increase drastically for them. Especially, if the larger jets take off using FULL-AFTERBURNERS..... What a pleasant thought. The runway is set up this way: Therefore, anyone living to the south or to the north will get BLASTED on a daily basis. Maybe you just need to decide if you want to listen to aircraft taking off, or enjoy the sound of aircraft on final....(final approach). These are not tiny aircraft, mind you. And, they definitely are NOT gliders. When one of these giant tubes of aluminum glides in.....on final.... They are NOT gliding. I have spent most of my life in Chiang Mai trying to avoid the vagaries of the routing of traffic from the skies. Sometimes they land to the South, and sometimes to the North. Why can't they just take off to the West, I wonder? Would not bother me if they did, even though to the West we know there are mountains. I have had it with this airport noise. I say, they need to move this airport way far away.....maybe to Lampang. Lampang is just too quiet anyway. Nobody likes Lampang because....It's too quiet. If they move CNX to Lampang, then everyone would be happy. So, the main question here is.... When, if ever, and how much longer, will this airport traffic control get back to normal? Or, won't it? Are you also kind of out-of-sorts today (and yesterday) due to this new traffic scheme? Information please.... Thank you..... Gamma

I am the same as I was born, of course. Need you even ask?

I cannot say why you do not read good books by great authors such as Barth. However, it's not too late to redeem yourself. Why not start with .....

But... I reserve the right to have the sex change in 4 years, if Harris runs again, in 2028...

NO. It's because EVERYTHING, including music, has continued to be dumbed down, beginning 2.5 decades ago, or longer...ever since the Cat Vids, on YouTube, and even before. For example, nobody knows what JAZZ is...these days. If you ask some young turk what JAZZ is... They do not know. They think JAZZ is something that it is actually not. The STUPIDITY of youth, today, is horrendous. They know nothing because, They are taught to be inquisitive and to investigate the world.

OK. You have convinced me.... Thank you for your caring.

Of course. Still, I will tell you that Jeff's music is better. Also, I am not commenting on grantsmanship. I am talking solely about the music, itself, and also... Improvisation, and... How it hangs together.

Yes. Impressive. And, some of this vid looks like Philly. So.... There must be some confusion here... Said the joker to the thief... Philly should not look like NYC. Can't we never get no relief?
