No... Actually... It is the will of the demigods on this forum, obviously....

For Eternity, surely.... At least, as I recall it, I was less stressed out, then.... And far happier...too.... If I were to be honest about it. STILL: On the other hand....IF I had not been born, then would I have ever heard The Brandenburg?

Thank you, AGAIN, for your suggestion of this type of tape! This, I am confident, will most definitely do the trick. So, you see, TV is often a valuable font of information useful to expats in Thailand, not unsurprisingly. Norwegian Wood.... It's time for bed....

Talk about an UNDERSTATEMENT!

I can honestly say that I enjoy ALL of you comments. However, who knows about the other members of this forum. It's just a matter of taste; and we know that good taste is something frequently lacking on TV. Well!!!! Talk about BAD Taste!

Agree

Yes, I do agree with you, partially. And, might I add just one thing to this comment?: Personally, I find it very gratifying and encouraging that you so kindly deign to read and reply to some of my more interesting Topics. Honestly, I cannot thank you enough, just because there are so few people of value on TV who truly "get" my Topics. As you may recall, Washoe knew nothing of God. And, the researchers who handled Washoe made the choice to NOT inform Washoe the Chimp of his mortality. It was the decision of the researchers and grad students who managed Washoe that .... to impart the knowledge of MORTALITY to a Chimp such as Washoe would be too cruel, and even rise to the level of Animal Cruelty. I could go on about this and many other things relating to the God of Chimps compared to the God of Man.... But, I think this comment is long enough for your liking. Am I right? ===== Anyway, lest we forget the Great Washoe, here is his photo for all posterity.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washoe_(chimpanzee) Barnum might have had more to say about this chimp, of course. Thank you, once again!

As we all know, when the smoking season in Thailand begins in earnest, then many of us will spend much more time indoors than outdoors. As I have also mentioned, several times, I do NOT mind the Smoking Season, but often welcome it. The Smoking Season provides me an excuse to remain indoors and attend to many things, such as working on my new book. Also, The Smoking Season allows me to spend more time with the Chinese students who really need me to set them straight about things like Biology, The Meaning of Life, and other matters of import about which some of them have fairly limited understanding. So...YEAH....Even though the Smoking Season is abhorred by many here in Thailand, yet for me, I take the Smoke in Stride, and just do my best to enjoy it more than many of you might expect. After many months of very clean air, I even find myself looking forward to some at-home time, behind my house gate, walled up in my house, with Gaffers Tape sealing my windows, snug as a bug in a rug so to speak. My only complaint is that, each year, I have found it difficult to predict how severe the Smoking Season will be, and when it will begin. Are there any METRICS we can look at to more predictably predict the approximate week of the year when the white stuff will descend upon us? As we know from experience, when the white stuff fills the air at night, then the street lamps turn fuzzy, and there are circular patterns caused by refraction of the light rays from the street light passing through the smoke, which I also appreciate. (Are these circular patterns due to refraction of light? In my opinion, unschooled overly much by Physics, I would say....YES! And, this might be called the TYNDALL EFFECT: So therefore, we can see that there will be a lot to learn from this next Smoking Season, whenever it finally descends upon us in EARNEST. a. When will the REAL Smoking Season begin, and not just this early precursor to the real Smoking Season? b. How severe and HEAVY do you think the Smoke of 2024 will become during the next several months? I am VERY GLAD to be able to experience life here in all its splendor, culturally, as well as in many other ways. I am sure this is the case with others, such as I, who have lived in Asia, not just SE Asia, most of their lives. Make sure to have a few air purifiers and a few large rolls of Gaffers Tape on hand before the Smoke arrives, is my best advice. Best regards, Gamma

Personally, I would not go so far as to encourage euthanasia for you; this is a personal choice, I believe. Anyway, if you do not live to at least 105, I will be most surprised. Furthermore, if you should not live to age 105, I hope you will send me a PM, so that I know. I will still be here on TV, for sure, awaiting your news. I would guess that you will live quite a bit longer than you now anticipate, just due to advances in medicine during the next eight years. I can't provide you with any guarantees, but this is just my prognostication based on my present understanding of science and the predicted advances in medicine now already in the works. Good luck to you. But, for sure, I just hope that you do not outlive your GF who enjoys the light emanating from your posterior, as do we all. As long as the mind remains lucid, then life remains valuable to each and every one of us, no matter our advanced age.

Those are cockroaches. Why not try those cockroach traps, or cockroach bait? Also, from experience living in Taiwan and China.... If the building is infested, then the entire building must be fumigated in one go. I would not live in an infested building, these days. There is no need to do so in Thailand. I have never had a roach problem in Thailand in any of the buildings or houses I have occupied.

I would define Heaven as a state that never lasts too long, and therefore cannot be Eternal.

What will you use for cash, after that? Always best not to live beyond your means, me thinks. (I think this second utterance has two meanings.)

sublime superior subtle and...Similar?

Well, at least I am not land poor in Thailand.

You mean...in cash?

By the way, there are only two appropriate words, beginning with S, that fit this Topic. But, you knew that, right? bull sperm bull semen Only two, mind you.

Some variety of coprolite, obviously.

The bull is only half of this Topic.

Tks for the explanation. But, this 3M gaffers tape seems very suitable for my needs to keep pollution out, sound out, etc.

My Fellow Entrepreneurs: Beginning New Year’s Eve, 2024, and after Wishing for Less Ennui during this Glorious New Year, I have set upon my new path to develop some sort of Business Plan 2024, something which will more constructively utilize my off-hours. Like you, I have many, many off-hours, not surprisingly, and also unfortunately. Maybe you might like to pitch to us on The Farang Pub your creative thoughts concerning the best businesses to begin using only the Internet and the many available Courier Services, not to mention the Postal System, and nothing more. In all honesty, several years ago, I had considered two types of businesses which might usefully engage me: AA. Bull Semen Importation and Distribution I have thought of getting into the business of Bull Semen because you would not need a very large warehouse. Also, you can operate such a business from your home if you have the proper freezing equipment. Also, if you were to buy such refrigeration equipment, it might do double duty during the Hot Season for storage of beer and ice cream. Ice Cream is stored BEST when it is stored at temperatures BELOW those achievable by your average consumer refrigerator/freezer. Therefore, there would be a plus in getting into the bull semen business, at least for me. I already have, as I have mentioned, a freezer that will go down to about negative 35 degrees C. But, the temperature fluctuates a bit much, and I would not trust it to store bull semen. https://www.denverpost.com/2007/01/11/semen-sales-are-serious-business/ Please go to this link to find out more about “taking the romance out of bull reproduction in a setting where there is no pressure to perform”. BB. Saffron: The Buying and Selling of… I like the color of saffron, and saffron is quite valuable in even small quantities. Therefore, it might not cost much to ship relative to the value, just speaking of value and cost to weight of saffron. https://www.roysfarm.com/saffron-farming/ The COSTLIEST spice by weight, folks! CC. Well, I do not mind giving away two of my business ideas because I am sure that the more competition I have the better I will perform! (Especially in the field of romancing the bulls…) DD. And now, what are YOUR ideas? Thank you for your contributions to this Topic, one of my more useful Topics. People have told me, in the past, that my Topics might be made more useful. And so, this is my first real attempt in 2024. Take care, you budding entrepreneurs, and may this Topic make you even wealthier in 2024. Regards, Gamma

First I've heard. Maybe, then, I should do better. Maybe, then, I should post a bit more often.

Please read my TAPE Topic. Please read my CHEAPEST Lawn Watering Solutions Topic. There are many more Topics that will make life easier for you. Such as: Read my various Topics on Thai Vocabulary Building, and on Thai Listening Comprehension Materials Topic. So much have I written that might make life easier for you in Thailand. Please do not now say that you are not impressed.....?

Upon first reading his comment, I thought he had written: a horse with one of those portable whizzy sprinkler units on the end has to be the cheapest I am in need of reading glasses, but a horse around here would be good.

First time in Japan was 1971, February. I did not see one lawn in Yokohama. Even on the outskirts of Tokyo, near the new airport, in 1979, January, I saw no lawns. There are almost no lawns in Taiwan, as well. https://realjapanesegardens.wordpress.com/2017/06/23/japanese-lawn-in-comparison-with-western-lawns/ Land is very expensive in Japan. This looks nothing like my lawn during the Hot Season...

I started this Topic to ask the question why god-related topics seem so popular and rack up so many views and comments/ What is it about the readers that makes them find such topics so fascinating, riveting, and worthy of discussion Science seems far more interesting, just to name one of many topics more interesting than god or fantasy, or things that cannot be detected using the most advanced technology. I guess that some/many people are not that interested in Natural Science, obviously. They prefer things like Freud and Fantasy. I was just asking because such minds are completely alien to me, that's all.
