American breakfast cereal is the MOST DISGUSTING garbage that anyone would wish to stuff in their pie hole. Where/How did this disgusting habit originate? 200 years ago, we had never heard of it. Kellogg's garbage is just pure garbage, anyway you look at it. Why not just have a steak and a few eggs for breakfast? Also, milk for breakfast? Think of all that lactose! I mean, I would not mind milk for breakfast, if I could get it from my GF, directly. No! My idea of a nice breakfast is something like Lamb Vindaloo or...just STEAK This is why I LOVE China, so much.... In China, at least three decades ago, before Kellogg began ads there, then we had decent breakfast fare. Now, with all the ads from AMERICA, Asian breakfast is turning to vomitus..... Let's go back 6 decades.... Even then, the American Breakfast cereals advertised on TV.... Was always just about as appealing as vomitus to me. It's unhealthy. It's full of sugar. Low protein. And, it tastes like sht, too! Years ago, I would, instead, just eat leftovers from our dinners, the past evening, such as turkey, roast beef, some kind of hash, or whatever. Packaged American Breakfast cereals are fit for nothing more than to be flushed down the hopper. Disgusting!

Yes. Ants in the bed. So, this is the main impetus for this Topic, today.... (These ants can just go anywhere, and even if there is no purpose for them to be somewhere. There is no food for them, in my bed, for example. I think they are just randomly exploring.)

OK. Tks for the info. I need to begin Ant War, soon,....maybe. And, maybe, NOT maybe. Once the ants begin to crawl on one's person, then.... The war begins. Maybe, as you say, I will just find the best DIY solutions.... What is your over-the-counter and off-the-shelf brand, by the way?

Alas....I am sure that you are correct. So.... I will need to call an exterminator, I guess. This is really the only sure way, as you say. ..... So then, do you think it might be sufficient to use insecticides outside, and around, the house? This has been my thinking. For example, what about contracting for the anti-termite service? Surely, the poison they use would kill almost everything. And then, what is the reasonable price to pay for such service?

SINCERELY wish that I might !!!! I do not have the resources, nor the inclination, to travel the world, heating up the world, during this period of rampant Global Warming.... Therefore, high-resolution internet images, such as the Van Gogh Museum provides, for free, is the best way...for me. Still, standing before a great work of art..... The internet images can never provide the full experience...I realize.

Thank you, but I will, respectfully, decline from the slapping. I see not benefit in it.

God may not like you, so much, that He has broken so many of your bones.... At such a young age....

Yes. You are correct. But, I have never seen a Pollock painting, up close, in real life. Years ago, it was possible to easily find high-resolution Pollock paintings on the internet....but... Not no more. So much fine art has now been removed from easy access on the internet, it seems. And, such a shame, too. But.....Why???? POINTLESS!

In my case, the hip is titanium, and you will never understand this, until you get one. Anyway, why don't you enlighten me concerning what you might think that I do not understand? I am always receptive to your teachings..... As I know you know....

Nice one! Now, you are using the Aussie slang: nuffy I am really getting an education by reading your good comments. Good. I like your posts!

OK. Just so that you know. I did read your original post about that. I have not forgotten, in fact.... And, no doubt, impossible for you to forget, I am sure.....

Hi Folks, It seems that, always, around this time of year, we get these tiny ants in our homes, crawling over almost everything and everyone. These ants seem to be seasonal in their proliferation in our homes. So, is there any way to rid our homes of these tiny pests, without poison? Or, is poison the only way? If poison is the only way, then maybe it might be best to just endure them for another few weeks until they finally leave? What I like least is that these tiny ants crawl on our bodies. Sure, it does not really bother me that much. But, I just wish there was some way to get rid of them without the use of poison. This is NOT a big thing for me. This is the same as almost every year. And so, maybe just endure it for a short time, until the ants leave of their own accord? What is the best policy, in this case, do you think? Thank you. Gamma Note: I might need to call an exterminator, in any case, just to have the house poisoned for the possibility of termite infestation. Not sure, yet....

It is I who should feel sympathy for you, from down under, Mate, me thinks.... But....not entirely sure.

It's not necessary to always carry your passport with you. I rarely leave my house. I do not carry my passport with me, as I move from room to room, in my house. When I go outside in my garden, I do not carry my passport, either. If I were to go to BKK, then I would carry my passport. So, in the end, it's a matter of degree, for me. How far from my bed am I travelling? If very far from the place where I sleep, then I do carry my passport.

If you want to know what TAKE FIVE meant, back in the day, then just listen. These two recordings are not the same. Anyway, when I was young, I switched between Jazz and Underground Rock, on WMMR in Philly. Those were the days.... I used to lie on my bed at night, just listening to WMMR, WWDB, using my HI-FI, with a tuner and an amplifier, and some decent speakers. Late at night on WMMR, you could get some really great underground music. Most reading these words do not know what underground music might have meant, back in the day. It just meant: The good stuff not available on AM Radio, that most people listened to in their cars, driving to pick up their laundry or buy groceries, or driving to the Country Club. Very few people, then, knew much about underground music. Even crappy music from Dylan, then, was not considered to be underground. In case you do not know, WMMR was FAR different from what it now might be. Wonderful DJs on WMMR, maybe back around 1967, or 1968....before we lost our freedom of the airwaves to the conglomerates....haha. Now, all this stuff on YouTube really SUCKS....because..... Why? I know why. Why should I even care to tell you why? Regards.... Note: Almost nothing to live for, these days, now that the arts have deteriorated, so far..... Nobody likes Jackson Pollock, either...even though.... I do not know why. They think he was just throwing around paint, without any purpose, or direction. They know not much, obviously.... I have no patience for NITWITS....

This once was the Greatest Game in NYC.... Maybe, it still is. IS THIS YOU? This guy....later died, after playing this game.... I have never stolen a car in my life! I'm tool old to steal cars, these days. Can't play this game, anymore....I guess.... ========== What kind of imbecile would steal a car? I spent my time going to a great university. I spent my time reading great books. I had NO TIME to steal cars. I do not understand guys who play games like GTA....also. Such a BIG WASTE of time. Computer games....OTHER THAN .... TV'S FARANG PUB....are Just a huge waste of time. This is why I say..... TV's Farang Pub is the most wholesome computer game in town.... At least.... In Thailand, it is! BIG TIME!

Dear Folks, Please do not get me wrong. TV's Farang Pub, I love....BIG TIME. I love it. This will be my shortest Topic OP of all time. Just saying.... I love it. Hope you do, as well. Best regards, Gamma G. Note: Probably the most WHOLESOME pastime, too!

Please note: Some people might wonder why I remain celibate.... a. In order to avoid any further possibility of again getting slapped. b. And, in order to avoid ever, again, getting the clap. c. I keep my whistle squeaky clean through celibacy. This is my choice. The BEST choice for me. No worries for me! But, feel free to do what you want..... Do what you want......... Use your head! But, don't use your head, that way! Note: a. Blind Faith is good, including Ginger Baker...haha.... b. But, blind faith is never good, and it never works out very well.....in the end...

Linus is the love of my life..... ABSOLUTELY! And, also, for about the past 25 years, too!

I caught the clap in Singapore, in 1971, aboard an MSTS tanker... http://www.usmm.org/msts/tankers.html This is the exact ship, in fact. From some harlot who climbed over the side, while anchored in port. In those days, the clap was easier to cure. These days? I would not risk it. This is why I remain celibate....besides the fact that.... I don't want to ever be slapped again by no Asian woman. The Tampico was a good ship. But, not exactly the Good Ship Lollipop...in most cases, unless in port. NOTE, IMPORTANT NOTE: The girls who climbed aboard the ship in Singapore were VERY OLD, maybe like 35, or even 40......TWICE MY AGE, at the time.... No harm done, I guess.

Haha, Man! I DO NOT MIND your giving me a hard time about my choice to pay Bt.300 to some guy who assembles 10 computers per day....to assemble my computer for me, at JIB. This was the correct decision. In the past, I had done this myself. And, I no longer enjoy the experience. There is no point in it. The guy at JIB is a true expert in doing the same task, over and over and over, every day. Why should I compete with him? Bt.300.....ONLY. And, the assembly is DONE!!!!!!!!!!! This was the very best option. Take care Man! If you wish to continue to give me a hard time, just for the fun of it.... Then.... Please feel free. Your ribbing does not bother me....and..... To the contrary, actually. Take care!

How would you know? Did you know her, too....????? I met my wife through an ad in the Philadelphia Inquirer.... Did you answer the same ad? (No, wait. In fact, my wife was pretty high-class. She just had a few mental problems. Great family, however. A PhD from Penn in her family, too. Great family, for SURE.)

Wait.... When they say.... "TAILOR", in Collegeville, as you probably know from having been there... They just might mean that they can sew-on a button. But, even then.... They CAN'T sew on a button WELL!!!! What kind of stitch do they use to sew on a button, for that matter? I know, Baby.... I was there for several years. Those guys there know how to shuck corn, and not much else. Collegeville once was a very nice sleepy town, a college town, with Ursinus the main attraction. But, there ARE NO TAILORS in Collegeville. Never were. And, never will be. Let's get this straight, please, Sir.... Thank you.

I did not come to Asia to be ridden.... Please believe me. I refuse to be ridden, like Hoss.... Riding, Riding, Riding....

I have never been slapped in Asia. Period! 45 years in Asia, and I have not been slapped once. Particularly THAILAND! Being slapped in Thailand for NO REASON is just unfathomable to me. Very strange, indeed!
