Miicrowave Oven Repair in CM...Cheaper Options?
GammaGlobulin replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in Chiang Mai
As I mentioned above, the name of our first Microwave Oven, probably around the year 1967 to 1969, began with an L... I wracked by brain(s), and was able to recall that it was a LITTON oven. Quite large and very well made. Also...somewhat expensive.... I wish things today were still built with as much quality as this old Litton oven! Plenty of power. And, big enough for an entire turkey...too...! -
If you are like me, then you are supremely enchanted by Thai women who, on most days, wear ribbons and bows in their hair. This is a custom that is no longer in fashion in the workplace of New York City, and I love the quaintness of it. I am always attracted to any woman, but only Thai women, who sport ribbons and bows in their hair. I do not know why? Maybe it is that the ribbons and bows shout....INNOCENCE and GOODNESS and CUTENESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can almost not contain myself, the feelings that swell within me, anytime I see a Thai woman with a pony tail and a ribbon to match. Some of these ribbons that Thai women wear art topped by very cute animals of all colors. There is really nothing like this that I have ever experienced during my travels in East Asia.... Why do they love these animal ears, too...???!!!!!! I LOVE the look, for sure!!!!!!!! I just wish I were younger so that I could have a GF, so that I could, almost twice a week, gift her with new ribbons and new animals to wear in the hair. Do you have this same obsession with Thai women showing off this amazing look? Thailand has, really, so very much to offer. Thailand is MARVELOUS! Regards, Gamma NOTE:

Hi Folks, One thing I worry about as I contemplate my winter visit home to New England: I worry that, not being used to the ice, I might slip, fall, and facture my femur. Do you ALSO worry about such an eventuality as this? I bet you do! Therefore, what are the best shoes to buy that will not slip on icy stairs, or stoops? From my perspective, I would say that these shoes are quite handsome. But, are they truly the best for geriatric walking on ice in the city? https://www.solereview.com/the-best-shoes-for-walking-on-ice/ Any alternative suggestions based on experience? Thank you. Regards, Gamma Note: I can no longer afford to facture another femur....Just like you.

It's very difficult to find an acceptable toilet in HK. Many toilets are kept locked. At least, this was my experience. In Chiang Mai, toilets are quite clean in the malls. I do not use toilets in restaurants or at gas stations. The toilets at the university are very well maintained, and plentiful. The students keep the place presentable. The students at CMU are excellent. NOTE: In fact, it's extremely difficult for me to find anything to complain about around here...(valid complaints, I mean).

I am a New England boy, through and through... Who and Whom, and when to use each? This is not so easy, since one is constantly bombarded by improper usage on Social Media... https://www.grammarly.com/blog/who-vs-whom-its-not-as-complicated-as-you-might-think/ Yes... Thank you for the correction! Sloppy writing is becoming a bad habit of mine which... Needs correcting...not to mention... Constant vigilance.

The REASON for this state of affairs is that the CCP, in all its science-based wisdom, requires spending MAXIMUM time on learning NONSENSE... This is true. Of course, there are great Chinese students in cities such as Shanghai who attend top high schools, and then go on to be stellar lights at the worlds top universities in the USA, such at The University of Pennsylvania, a slouch school which, I think, just judging by the culture at Penn, is even better than Harvard, but maybe not as good as MIT or CalTech...

I also loved my time of study in China. However, I do NOT agree with the new transitions in the ed system, as a result of the changing demographics...new transitions which are, at present, severely and negatively affecting teenage students in China. It is very MADDENING to witness this....if one cares about the development of children in China...

Why? Definitely strong family devotion. Ancestor worship, and FILLIAL PIETY. Superior intelligence. Excellent work ethic. A strong sense of pursuing goals that are congruent with long-standing Chinese values, such as saving and purchase of land, and much more. Abiding respect for education. Willingness to sacrifice in order to obtain delayed reward, and reach important goals for the good of the family. etc etc etc

Truly, Man. If you want to get a better understanding of human behavior, and also the commenting behavior on TV, and posting behavior on this thread....then... You should first become more familiar with the predictive and descriptive power of...FRACTALS.... -

Your rule is old hat, and was always too simplistic. I suggest that you get on board with power laws. 80/20 is for high-schoolers...by comparison. -
