How many here on the Forum are willing to pay BIG bucks for a substandard clothes dryer, linked in your comment? Sure, I agree with you, 100 percent, that if I could buy a top-of-the-line clothes dryer, then I would. But then, where would I put it in my house which has no dedicated laundry room? Not all of us have maids to do our washing, drying, and ironing.

Dear Friends, Here where I am, during the raining season, I do not have the luxury of a clothes dryer by Whirlpool. I have a trick I use to dry my clothes, even in the most humid rainy weather. But, I won't mention it in this topic, at the beginning. Therefore, what do you do, or, more importantly, what does your wife do to dry your clothes in a hurry, before they become mildewed and smelling like the shorts in the locker you recall from high-school gym class, the ones you forgot from the previous semester. One thing I do not like about Thailand is that there is a relative dearth of clothes-drying machines. Presumably, the reason for the lack of clothes dryers is to save energy. But, during many months of the year, just when you most wish to wash and dry your clothes, yet there is no sun in the sky. Or, as is my case, I prefer to wash and dry my clothes between the hours of 10 PM and 4 AM. So then, what is the best way you have found to dry your clothes after washing? Best regards, Gamma Please Note: Washing clothes is so easy for me. I would wash my socks more often if it was only the washing that I needed to worry about. However, it is the drying of clothes that is most troublesome. I am SURE you are just like me in this respect. I would wash my socks far more often if I just had some easy way to dry them after washing. Maybe I should buy a TOP of the Line clothes washer and clothes dryer. Note2: For anyone coming from overseas to Thailand for retirement, please pay attention to this important topic, lest you become frustrated and irritated by the lack of clothes dryers in this land. This topic is NOT a joke, actually.

Strangely enough, Ms. Monday reminds me of the time I visited a bar in Hong Kong, somewhere around 1992, isn't it funny how the years move. She was a black-haired beauty with points of her own, sitting way up high. She was one of those dancers from Thailand, dancing way up high on the bar. I was so taken with her, having never seen a dancer from Thailand. The HK bar owner asked me if I wished to take her out. Of course. The HK bar put USD600.00 on my credit card. So, I started humming a song from 1962. We weren't in love. No, far from it. Now with autumn closin in...

MONDAY's child is just too jiggly for me. Such bone structure, however. 12 out of 10, for Monday. (Can't watch.)

Have you ever read any Evelyn Woke? Such a satirist was she.

Thomas L. Friedman was always full of baloney. Such an idiot writer, really. Friedman was and is nothing but a Pop-panderer with half-baked hypotheses and weird analyses. What an utter numbskull. So happy Friedman's 15 minutes of fame is now behind us.

Do you think Musk would dare take a ride on Artemis? If so, will he ask to take along some sort of Tesla Moon-rover car? The US can easily put a man on Mars during the next Mars-Earth transfer window. And, there are plenty of US citizens who would volunteer for this one-way mission. Imagine if you could be the first man on Mars? Wouldn't this one-way ticket be worth it?

OS/2 So much better. OS/2 still exists. Do you recall WARP 4? Sort of like Operation Warp Speed...only far better. If you want, you can still obtain a copy of OS/2 and run it. I highly advise doing so. Such a great OS.

When you stated that you were way "off fluent", did you actually mean to say that your tones were way "off key"?

I once saw either a sole or a flounder swimming by in the river near where we live in Thailand. I think it must have actually been a winter flounder, because I saw it in the month of January. Sometimes called the "black back", it looked like this: The ones that I saw were about 75 cm in length. There was a whole school of them swimming up river, each one larger than the next. Altogether, the entire school must have weighed about 21 kilos, with an average weight of about 2.10 Kg per black back. Who knows where they came from, but I have my guess. I think they fell from the sky, and into the river. Sometimes fish do fall from the sky. But fish are not unidentifiable. Love the music in this clip.

I did not say you were wrong. And, your points were well taken, and logically presented, absolutely. I agree with you.

Just another UFO in Taiwan. Ho-hum. And, just another Rainy Taipei Tuesday, as usual, with UFOs falling out of the sky. Or, maybe it was a Manic Monday, as I recall..... Just another day....in Taipei (Taibei).... Just another FUN day...

Not especially. Why? Do you want to get close with me?

They always love singing from the rooftops, it seems.

Yes, I have. Back in the U.S.S.R. Wish I was back there.

And now... A word from SUNBEAM Mixmaster... Nobody can have too much CAKE.... Right, Jingthing?

And, I, too, was not born in the year, 1880. By the way, have you ever heard of Joshua Slocum?

That's because the Marx Bros grew up in NYC, on the East Side, if I'm not mistaken. Also, in any case, the Marx Brothers were well educated. Groucho studied dentistry, even. He was also a veterinarian.

Too many thrones in this world, still, it seems, for our own good. No doubt, WC might have said it better. BUT, actually, many, many of us, around the world, are just dying for the lack of a throne, when most needed. Too many just go out in the woods, or in the river. Which reminds me of a song, as is always the case.

William Claude Dukenfield January 29, 1880 Darby, Pennsylvania. Have you ever been to Darby? or Have you ever been to Derry? or Have you ever been to Londonderry?

Reminds one of our fallow youth, these old WC clips.

It was not my fallow youth I wished to recall. I meant my callow youth. Slip of the tongue which is always telling.

My Dear Friends, Speaking of WC, what do you think about our friend, Larry David? And, do you like boaners, meaning stupid mistakes, when they happen to others? When I was young, I made it my purpose in life to watch every single film put out by WC. And, we loved everything about him, where I came from. WC was a handsome fellow, and not just by Pattaya standards. You know what? I really wish I could return to those halcyon and fickle and tumultuous days of my youth. And, there is one other adjective I am searching for, to describe my youth, but I cannot recall it now, due to old age. I know it starts with an F, but this adjective starting with an F is not the one you might be thinking of. When I recall it, I will post it below. Anyway, when I was young, I dearly loved WC. Maybe, I will watch one of his films, again. But, I doubt I will. Wait! I am almost getting it! The adjective I am thinking about sounds almost like the adjective "fallow", but not quite. Still, it escapes me, this adjective. Well then, what was your most loved WC film? Any good clips you might wish to share? If not, nobody here is forcing you to do so. Recently, I have been thinking about WC Fields, off and on. I don't know why. But, I have been. Maybe you, too? Regards, WC Globulin

Or, maybe it spews as if you were imbibing a bit too much of, or not enough of, the old mezcal.
