Amazing. Bruce is now a dead ringer for Bing Crosby. He should stick to his crooning.

For one thing, I don't want to provide my Bank Account info to a Communist company. I paid them cash, and I want a refund in cash. Or, I will see if I can just let my friend take care of it. But, Shopee does not owe me any money, I don't think. Only the other company.

What is Mainland? Mainland China, or something? All I know is that the Stilton I used to buy in HK came from Mainland England.

I will TELL you why.... In fact, it is NOT WORTH Bt3500.00 to me to even have ONE MORE WORD with the customer service at that company. However, if you say that there is some way I can give this money to a friend, then I will do so. But even that, I do not know how to do. The money is due to refunds. And, the money is tied to my account, and to my purchases. Therefore, if you can tell me how I can just give my password for my L account, to a friend...and let her enter her own personal bank info....THEN, I will honestly say...Thank you, to you. I can't wait to settle this and put this company behind me...one and for all!!!!!!!!!!

I have zero objections to the game of golf in Scotland.

Correct, as I also stated in a previous comment... about 10 months total...from extraction to completion. Also, I once had a bone density scan....DEXA scan..... The results of that were good. They told me that my bones were so dense that.... Possibly they had been fossilized.

Anticlockwise, you mean?

Yes. I have still not collected about 3500 Baht....and it's worse than pulling teeth. I may need to hire a consultant to get it back. Also, light bulbs, LED, are falling from the ceiling like rain during the Raining Season. I no longer buy from Lazada. Better to wait a few days and buy from Amazon. I do buy Vitamin D3, but this is the exception...for now and in the future.

So then... They have STILTON at Makro for a good price, do they? I would be interested in this, and only this, cheese.

Always check the markings on the side of the condenser unit, and calculate the EER of the unit...before moving in. The lower the EER, and if the landlord charges more than PEA rates, the more money in the pocket of the landlord. Maybe find a place without an AC, and then install your own, if you plan on being there for a while. You can always take it with you, when you move to a new place.

Li Bin? Never heard of him. I have heard of Lin Biao, however. I wish it had been Lin Biao that they had caught, instead of Li Bin....Oh well....can't have everything. If it had been Lin Biao, they could have just thrown him back,....maybe....

I do agree that, since the period of time when social media began to become very popular, craziness and aberrant-though-now-normalized behavior has been steadily on the rise. The only question might be....IS this a cause-effect relationship, or is this just a correlation without cause-effect that we are seeing?

Thank you for your kind wishes. I always hate it when everything is completely left up to .... just me.

I think these pumps are very popular with noise-lovers. I hate them. I would have gotten an Hitachi, if I had had my druthers.

Dear Folks, There have been many Topics, from time to time, concerning various ways to rid one’s house of those very tiny Thailand ants which are truly ferocious, and legend. I am not interested in trying any “natural” solutions, the ones that are periodically offered up here on TV. Instead, I wish to buy the Top TWO commercially available ant-traps/ant-bait-containers that are most effective for the type of tiny ants that we see most often during the Raining Season. One problem with these ants is that they seem, collectively, powerful enough to dig into concrete, and other building materials, and leave chewed up sand and debris in little piles evident on the floor, on kitchen counters, and almost anywhere. So this is just sort of a Poll answerable by those who have tried various brands and types of commercially available stuff sold at major stores here in the North of Thailand, primarily CM, where some species of ants might be a bit different, and have different appetites, than ants in other parts of the land. Reading on Google’s AI section, I see these words, for example: In the past, it had always been my suspicion that these types of products, ant-bait products, might be suitable only for a very localized population of ants in the house. However, I see from googling Google AI that these products might be more effective than I had once thought. But now, the question is which TWO should I buy and try first. For sure, I have a HUGE ant problem. And so, this would be a very nice trial for evaluation of several of these products. I have had no insect exterminators come into my house, thus far. And therefore, any major improvement in my infestation situation should be directly attributable to the commercially available ant-bait products that I buy. So, any votes? I will buy in about a week, I guess, when the roads become more easily traveled, as the road flooding subsides. Let’s wait and see what happens. Death to All Ants, except the ants that are smart and thoughtful enough to remain outside my house. Best regards, Gamma

Out of my TONS of factual assumptions, please just name three erroneous factual assumptions which you find most egregious. Please be factual, and list your facts, with references, this time. Thank you.

I followed your advice. I found the option to stop Alibaba from going to a second page after scrolling down an ad page. Seems to have worked. Thanks. The ads and notifications of Alibaba ads on my phone was getting totally annoying. Still, this company deserves a NUKING....just for the mental anguish already caused to me, and many others, I imagine.

Tks. I will contact...if for nothing more than additional info...

I have heard, from my long-time driver....that flooding in CM is particularly bad at this moment. How bad is it? Do you think the floods will subside by mid-October? I will begin my therapy soon as transportation improves. I have heard that the traffic now is horrendous....but I have not seen it....

Thanks for this....REALLY !!!

Very wise policy on Thailand's part. This is just one of the many good reasons I am here, and will not leave. The last bastion of an enduring culture that I respect.

I actually completely concur, and I say this after much close observation from afar. You see, here in Thailand, we are OUTSIDE the BUBBLE in which most Americans lead their daily lives. It's just the old concept of our Frog immersed in a slowly heating pot. Most of these changes that we easily recognize go largely unnoticed by the Average Crazy American. And...YES.....here in this Topic...I am NOT picking on Americans, per se. I only chose Americans as an example due to the fact that I am far more familiar with the underlying and pervasive changes in American society that are easier for me to see. For one thing, much of American culture is more easily visible to us, outside the US, due to institutions such as Hollywood, American social media, and American Ghetto Culture taking over the world. So, it's like this.....: a. Dress Sloppy b. Think Sloppy, too One can only wonder what's on this guy's so-called mind.... Not picking on any segment of the American population, either. I am just saying that we might choose better role models for all of us.

Thanks. I will look into this idea of bone graft failure, and ask my dentist to address it.

I also think the female dentists are ....Just BETTER and better skilled, and less pain-inducing that their male counterparts. I despise male dentists, now, after coming to Thailand!!!!

Dear Folks, As one who has been raptly viewing post turn-of-the-century American culture, I have been struck by at least three shocking transformations in American culture, and the Average American individual. 1. Dumbing down of movie fare 2. Deterioration in spoken and written English, as well as the general resorting to crude, demeaning and insulting English vocabulary directed at others 3. General Craziness and lack of judgment in everyday lives, including plenty more gun-play than has been seen since the days of the Wild West in cities like Tombstone and Dodge City. And, much of this gun play is now increasingly taking place, due to road rage situations, in every community around America. Therefore, the question is: Is it a reality that general craziness is markedly increasing in America? What are the causes? For example, is this due to the increased use of psychoactive drugs to treat childhood mental “illnesses” such as ADHD, etc, and depression in young adults as well as middle-aged Americans? Or, could this be due to the high sugar diet and obesity? Are overweight Americans more likely to engage in craziness than thin fit individuals? Alternatively, might this increased American craziness be due to stressors brought on by crazy American government policies such as higher university tuition with no reasonable way to finance children's higher education? Or, what about forced evictions from housing being bought up by large corporations, leaving the Average crazy American homeless, and completely frustrated with life? My guess is that one cause might be the changing education system, in which what is being taught no longer fosters introspection and clear thinking. And instead, education is being replaced and distorted by unrealistic views and expectations of what life actually is, and was pre-Y2K. In fact, I first began noticing this transition and transformation around the year 2000 when Hollywood began producing movies that were pure fantasies with no well-written film scripts, and nothing to provoke the need to think deeply about any part of any film. Where are the real issues thoughtfully discussed in movies today, now that all themes in Hollywood films are as superficial and fantastical as American News from MSNBC, and all the rest of the outlets. For sure, Americans are becoming ever-crazier, both in their behavior and in their warped thought processes, and also in their inability to self-control aberrant behavior. Americans are no longer grounded in the reality of what we once considered the Real World. It’s like Americans under the age of 55 are on a continuous LSD-induced ‘bad trip’, and cannot escape to the sunshine we once enjoyed pre-1970s in the United States. Maybe this is also due to the decision to close down mental health institutions and to push more and more crazies into the local communities. And, as a result, we may have been witnessing these crazies infecting more-normal Americans, just due to rubbing up against them in during daily life. Yes, craziness seems to be fostering more craziness in America, and we can witness it while flying on commercial aircraft, or while getting shot up while sitting in a movie theatre. What ever happened to better venues such as the philharmonic where people would go to enjoy great music, without packing heat? And how much crazier can Americans get….before America implodes and becomes a total Failed-State? So many questions, but it will not be long, now, before we see the answers unfold before us ... .during the remaining years of this decade, which will probably be pivotal for the unlikely possibility of preserving organized human existence, past the year 2030. I am not worried, Mandrake. I leave the worrying to younger guys. Best regards, Gamma NOTE4: This may be the Y2K Bug that set off this Total Cascade of Craziness in America !!!!!!!!
