Inside of what, exactly....?

Then, in this case, you are lucky you are not a sailor, one who might be buried at sea, as so many sailors have been, throughout the ages.

Dear Folks, Most people, try as they might, find it difficult to feel especially happy about dying. However, in this LOS, might it be possible to just.... Go out with a smile? I would say, as an expat myself, that if I were to die in Thailand, then I would be smiling. Some expats say that living in Thailand is better than anywhere else. And I say, too, that dying in Thailand is better than dying in most other places. I feel at peace to know that I will expire here...that is....unless, for some reason... My visas do not expire before me. I still have many years to go, ..... And miles to go before I sleep, And even more kilometers to go before I sleep. Is Thailand pretty much the best place in the world...to... DIE! Yes, it is, but just IMHO. Thailand is a place of peace for the living. And, it is an even greater place of peace for those who are bout to die. I SALUTE you....those of you who are about to die...and....I will... Soon follow you, yet not so soon.... I hope. Any thoughts about any better place to die, compared to Thailand? Best regards, Gamma

YES. This is the greatest, by far....and glad that you realize this. AND, for darn sure....THIS is their best rendition of Kashmir...BY FAR..... NO DOUBT NO DOUBT

Rolling Stone? Do you mean the same RAG that did the story on..... What a RAG....!!!

OK. I will watch it, and THANK YOU for mentioning it. One of my favorite albums is....just to many to tell, really. I first heard the band in Japan....Yokohama, in 1971. Pretty AMAZING, really. So, sometimes I like this one, and sometimes I like that one....just depends. But, I NORMALLY like this one.... A LOT.... I have listened for about 55 years, so far. I could say a LOT more, but....I also know that you do not...particularly.... Appreciate my commentary. And, this ain't no lie..... Is it....

In the future, then... Please refer to ME as GG-Number-One... And, the other gentleman as GG-Number-Two... This is no more than I rightfully deserve.

Sorry, I do not know the gentleman. Surely, he must be a fine fellow, though. But why does he use my initials? Did he plan it this way?

Really, I am not sure what you mean by LB. But, I just love it when the girls play with their hair, and then....give me the.... COME-HITHER look.... Don't you?

Even in Japan, there is racial tension between those of different groups WITHIN Japan, of course.... OBVIOUSLY.

Also, compare JAPAN, a very homogeneous and cohesive society, by comparison to many others.

I read your posts. This problem that you describe would NOT be happening if your AC were functioning properly. ACs are DESIGNED to work in very high humidity conditions. And, it is their VERY FUNCTION to work in humidity up to 100-percent relative humidity. Therefore, you must check to see if you have a coolant leak in your system, and that the pressure of the coolant is not decreasing. Check to see that the filters are clean. Then, have your AC serviced so that the insider of the evaporator unit is completely clean. Next, if all is well with this, then check thermostat. Your AC was never designed to freeze up on the indoor unit, the cold unit. I do understand that if an AC is not functioning properly, and needs repair, it will sometimes freeze sooner and more quickly when there is higher humidity. But, even at 100-percent humidity, a properly functioning AC should NOT freeze up. The properly functioning AC is DESIGNED to prevent this. Do you NOW understand my very humble opinions?

Dear Folks, I am just wondering, why do girls/women play with their hair when talking to one? a. Is it because they might be nervous? b. Is it because they like one? c. Both of the above? =================== Also, why do girls THROW THEIR HAIR, and look back at one, when departing from a meeting with one, or just any old time? What does throwing of hair signify? Am I getting the wrong signals? Are you? What is throwing hair, anyway? For example... THIS always happens to me.... She throws here hair, and then gives me this strange look: So then... What does this all mean??? Thanks so much...and... Best Regards, Gamma

CORRECT.

This is NOT caused by excess humidity in the room, or outside the room, or outdoors. The REASON the evaporator will freeze up is either it needs cleaning, OR there is a coolant leak. Just in my VERY humble opinion, obviously. Note: There is also the chance that the thermostat might have been damaged, but I think this would be unlikely if the AC was functioning properly...in the past.

I can guess why they might be dumping Panasonic machines here, locally, if they are. I have mentioned the reasons in previous posts. This is a shame, really. But, with ACs and other consumer appliances... SERVICE is the name of the game if you want to stay in the market. Next time I go to HomePro, the one near here, I will ask the store for the story. Quite interesting, in my view.

The Panasonic factory which supplies Panasonic ACs to the local market is in Malaysia. And, as you say, and I might agree, Panasonic AC servicing might be problematic. Also, recently, within the past year, or so, Panasonic seems to have begun manufacturing ACs for the Japanese market in JAPAN, and NOT in China. Panasonic ran into parts problems when manufacturing in China, so I have read. Panasonic in Taiwan and Japan supplies great ACs, however, from my experience. HOMEPRO still sells Panasonic ACs...for example... And, this is a deep discount, if you can buy it. Compressor warranty: TEN YEARS

If one is planning to run a diner, then one must first move to NYC, where true Diners still exist, even though they are quickly becoming extinct, unfortunately.

You talkin' to me?

Yes. The BEST ACs for consumer purposes are made by Panasonic, at least in the recent past. My only concern would be after-sales service IF one is living in Thailand. IF in Thailand, then good after-sales communications and service with the local distributor "could be" very problematic. The compressors have a 10-year warranty, and are very quiet. However, due to quality control issues mentioned in some trade news I have seen, it is possible to be provided with a substandard condenser fan. If this happens, then it might be noisy, and in this case it might become difficult to communicate what is happening, and get the problem resolved. If I were buying in Japan, then for sure, PANASONIC. But, outside of Japan, then be careful, and this might also be true of other brands. In conclusion, I really like Panasonic Japan, but worry about different levels of quality being supplied to other markets, as the brands compete in a much more price-competitive market. I guess I will still buy Panasonic the next time, and I have 3 units operating now. However, if I find a problem with a new machine, then I believe this might become a headache that will require many months to resolve. Look first at the efficiency of any unit being considered, is key, since here in Thailand units run 24/7/365, or at least mine do. Also, I really like HITACHI's commitment to service here in Thailand. So, I really wish that Hitachi could be made responsible for handling any issues with Panasonic products. I might have purchased Hitachi ACs, but chose Panasonic for better efficiency at the same or lower cost. And, Hitachi service is something I really like. They always care about the consumer customers.

This all depends upon how well one is fixed. Does it not? Also, it is paramount for one to understand how to living within one's income. Also, one must develop effective strategies for reducing waste, waste such as making expenditures for things that most would consider luxuries. These waste-luxuries include things like drinks for B-girls, and purchases of anything imported to Thailand. If one lives reasonably, and enjoys watching and interacting with birds, growing flowers, and sitting before one's computer screen using super-cheap and fast internet,... Then all will be well, and Thailand is a good place. Some are not fixed well enough, even for these non-luxuries. And in this case, Thailand might not be such a happy place to spend time.

TB, the spread of TB around the world, is deeply concerning, and has been a plague upon mankind for thousands of years. However, it is my conviction that the belief that drug therapy, and the status quo approach, is the right solution...is adversely distracting us from what really must be done to avoid the coming catastrophe..if we do not act in a much more concerted way to develop vaccines for TB and other epidemics.

Yes, I know about the increased risk associated with HIV and TB, in connection. And prisons are problematic, as well, for representing reservoirs for TB, as you also know.

I have no plans to visit the UK, in the future. Asia is not far better. Also, if I wished to visit such a hodgepodge-multicultural land, then I would truly consider myself CRAZY. I prefer more homogeneous societies, and always have. Homogeneous societies are far more stable and less contentious. This is why I live in a place with ZERO other people and outsider groups, such as Farang in this 99.99-percent locale of mine. This is the way I like it. If I want to see Indians, then I go to India. Africans? I go to Africa. Lions and Tigers? I go to either the word-class zoos, or several high-quality preserves, which are now under threat. The world is changing, and I do not like the changes; the changes are not positive in nature. The world as I once knew it, a very good world, has been destroyed. And we can see that we are experiencing the final days of humanity. This is my privilege for living so long, into this present decade. It's the same all over the world, wherever you go. Therefore, I do as as Savoy Brown sings: I just like back, and unwind..... It's really the only way, these days... Just LIE FLAT....
