Better to beg forgiveness than ask permission?

I see no one else mentioned it - Bangkok is a hub for folks to travel on to OTHER Asian countries. They count everyone doing a layover in Bangkok, so those numbers can be wildly skewed.

I don't get it. It's been that way in Jomtien for YEARS, and only took a hiatus during Covid. Why start whining about it now?

I contacted them as well and got a nearly word-for-word similar response. "First of all, CP-Meiji would like to apologize for any inconvenience may have caused to you for the issue: Meiji Pasteurized Milk - Supply Shortage. We would like to inform you that this period (August - October) in every year in Thailand is "Dry Cow Period" then we have the limited of raw milk supply to produce Meiji Pasteurized Milk to serve over demand. We sincerely apologize once again for the issue and thank you very much for your valuable information and understanding." In nearly 18 years here, I've never heard of such a thing, nor experienced this milk shortage, though Google does return a few results from a "Dry Cow Period" search.

The ball gargling from Graham and McCarthy is shameful. Graham is an attorney and KNOWS he's lying through his teeth. McCarthy is just a puppet performing whatever self-debasing acts his master tells him to. The few real 45 supporters I am forced to associate with to keep peace in the family admit they know 45 is a liar, and is "most likely guilty of all charges" (THEIR words!), but they just don't care. The racial epithets they throw around explains it all.

I wrote to Meiji corporate and asked why the severe lack of milk and received this response: "Dear Sir, First of all, CP-Meiji would like to apologize for any inconvenience may have caused to you for the issue: Meiji Pasteurized Milk - Supply Shortage. We would like to inform you that this period (August - October) in every year in Thailand is 'Dry Cow Period' then we have the limited of raw milk supply to produce Meiji Pasteurized Milk to serve over demand. We sincerely apologize once again for the issue and thank you very much for your valuable information and understanding. Best Regards," So I guess this is an actual thing, corroborated by the Google machine, though this is the first time I've noticed it in my almost 18 years here.

His attorney went on that fake not-news network shortly after the arraignment and explicitly said 45 committed the crime of conspiracy. The idiot attorney, thinking he was being clever by working the court of public opinion, told the audience 45 had a pow wow with VP Pence and gave him several options on how to turn the election outcome. In front of corroborating witnesses! And Pence is starting to sing that song in public, loud and clear. For gawd's sake, 45 committed the crimes, has been caught dead to rights, and thinks he can outmaneuver the likes of Jack Smith? These are truly the delusional acts of the galactically stupid. At least Nixon had the smarts to realize when he was beat and took the "get out of jail free" card offered. I honestly feel that 45 has finally met his match and will be fitted for the orange jumpsuit he so richly deserves.

Am I the only one who heard Benny Hill music in my head while reading this article?

I've actually emailed Meiji twice asking "What the hell happened?" All I get back is the sound of crickets.

Got this from 7/11 Chanthaburi less than an hour ago. Bidding starts at 3000 baht. No low balling, I know what I got. ????

IF Smith had charged the traitor with sedition and the charge stuck, this would have prevented the traitor from ever holding a gubmint office again. Wiser heads have said he most likely DIDN'T because the traitor could have cried alligator tears, saying Smith was performing election interference to prevent him from running. Smith holds his cards absolutely against his chest, and we'll most likely never know.

Word on the street is they WILL be indicted later on. IF they were indicted at the same time, 45 could use them to delay, delay, delay. This indictment is clean and concise. He may actually have to be fitted for an orange jumpsuit.

Not sure if this guy survived Covid. If he did, he makes a memorable pizza: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g2005201-d1943634-Reviews-Drifters_Beach_Cafe-Na_Chom_Thian_Sattahip_Chonburi_Province.html

That's just how MAGA rolls.

The vast majority of us are much more attractive WITH clothes.

Hasn't that weasel forgotten one tiny detail? He has to become president first.

It's curious, 45's defenders are all but non-existent on this forum any more. Did they finally come to their senses? The twice indicted (and more to come), twice impeached scum used to draw such heated debate - NOT that I miss those idiotic wastes of time.

At this point, ya GOTTA ask "Just WHAT will it take to make his cult wake the hell up?!?" This isn't a joke, this multiple-time loser puts the nation at risk, and he's what Republicans WANT?

The frightening thing is so many people are ignorant to what The Federal Reserve actually is and what it is not. The Fed is NOT an official U.S. government entity. Biden has nothing to do with it, he doesn't control it, it is not anywhere within his purview. The Fed IS a private body of bankers who are basically global marionettes, manipulating the markets under the false pretense of doing good for the world when in fact their sole interest is lining the pockets of mega banks by brokering loans with money that's NOT theirs from one country to another, taking their unfair share with every transaction. The U.S. fought the Revolutionary War to get out from under the oppressive thumb of the Bank of England, and for a few short years this actually succeeded. Then the Bank of England morphed into The Federal Reserve and now we're right back where we started. If you've ever seen "Game of Thrones," the bankers who loaned money to all the warring families is a frighteningly accurate comparison.

I worked for a while on a civil service "chain gang" where we were in limbo while waiting for our security clearances to get revoked - I had been busted for growing pot. One of the guys was a kiddy diddler, and he said there is no cure. His inclinations were ingrained, and no amount of counseling or punishment would ever change that.

An orifice is a hole. ???

It appears that the Bidens did have multiple shell companies that were crafty in their ability to hide money received. The problem is the Republicans continue to overplay their hand, making downright stupid accusations, relying on witnesses who turn out to be criminals. Was Joe directly involved? I doubt it, he doesn't appear to have the kind of personality that would gravitate towards it. His son Hunter, however, is highly suspect. If the Republicans would grow up, put on their big boy pants, and start behaving like responsible adults, people might take them more seriously. But isn't THAT a silly idea!

Why even bother having a vote? Merely to give the appearance of a democracy???

I've been a homeless street person, I know what it's like to be as financially destitute with my teeth rotting in my head as one can be, so don't lay that garbage on me.

I'm curious as to how bad a threat is it for someone to off themselves. I mean, even having your kneecaps broken would be better than suicide.
