I had to have a belly full of beer before I tried the fried grasshoppers. They were so good, I tried them again sober - still delightful. If you think about it, they're not much different from cows, living on greens, just a little smaller.

Del Monte, a brand that has been around for 139 years, just folded, stating the import fees for the ingredients they needed for their products made it impossible to continue. Is this what they meant by "winning?" If so then yes, I AM sick of all this "winning."

I just logged in: https://shopee.co.th/ Windows 10, no VPN, Chromes browser, Thai phone number. Looked fine.

EXTREMELY false equivalency. There were millions of Dems pointing out about how terrible Biden was, followed by what a loser Harris was. MAGA? They wear diapers outside their pants, maxi-pads on their ears, invisible golden sneakers they bought that they think will some day magically appear, etc etc etc Pleeeeeeeeeeeze! You don't DARE go on about "hypocrisy and self-delusion."

Obtuse and droll. Your posts are usually a LITTLE better than that.

A lot of Germans said the same thing in the late 1930's and early 1940's.

The only plot that matters right now is Project 2025. 47 has abdicated his responsibilities to Stephen Miller and only makes TV appearances when the mood suits him. The US is basically phooked. This will pass. It may be like a kidney stone, but it will pass. Then hopefully future generations will be able to fix the damage. Thankfully I won't be around all that much longer to witness their suffering.

I hadn't seen a hub article in MONTHS. No wonder tourism is down.

You mean the guy who illegally pumped heroin into his veins for years and still has a dead worm rotting in his partially eaten brain? Ridiculous doesn't BEGIN to describe how we are now in the upside down.

I blame Obama.

Anyone riding a bicycle after dark is just asking for trouble. RIP to the both of them.

Not THIS one I hope. Unless you knew them personally, this reeks of scam.

Not just your opinion, that's the opinion of EVERYONE who's ever been a father where the kid recognizes your face.

Local travel ok. Any long distances or extended trips, I wouldn't recommend them. Too hard on your bottom line.

In the US, if you want to go to a place that offers lap dances, then no alcohol allowed. That's freedom enough for me here in LOS.

Yeah, no. We don't do that here.

I love seeing all the "thumb downs" on Lewie's posts. I light a prayer candle for them cuz they must be SOOOO miserable. (This IS "the pub" where we're supposed to be having fun, yes?)

Four words - TACO

No penis. Now or ever.

And there are MANY TOPICS where that shït is welcome. I'm just asking to leave it out of what is a pleasant topic.

For the effing love of GAWD, could we PLEASE leave politics out of this?!?!?!?

The only thing that stops me from doing this - I am just exhausted with travel. I've already been everywhere I've wanted to save one on the bucket list, and that will be done next April. Nope, I'm happy as a clam.

C'mon, Community Pub, just killing time. And so far I haven't seen one post about you-know-who. 😄

Unfortunately I'm at an age where healthcare is my number one priority and I'm mostly satisfied with the healthcare available in Thailand. Per Grok, Haiti's healthcare system faces severe challenges, including limited access, inadequate resources, and the impact of ongoing violence. And Africa? Healthcare in Africa faces significant challenges, including limited access to quality care, inadequate funding, and a high burden of disease. I will burn my bones in one of those open air pyres. I've only gone to one but it was a helluva party!

I would move to Dominican Republic in a New York minute if the hurricanes weren't so devastating. There is NOTHING hotter than watching a pissed off Dominican chick tearing some punter a new a$$hole.
