How Many On Your "Ignored Users" List?
Most likely the same one on my list. And I'm not kidding, that cloud got lifted and my forum time is MUCH happier now. There are still many conflicting opinions and some snarky jabs, but nothing like cloud boy.

Why are UK expats still doing the 800K deposit for retirement extensions ?
It's roughly a difference of 50k baht/year or 4k baht/month. Members who don't want the hassle to save that find the convenience a good value. To each his/her/their own.

How Many On Your "Ignored Users" List?
My case as well. The one on my list was just an argument looking for a place to land. When he tried telling me I didn't know what my experience was with a particular device, he got banished to my list. You still see a small notice when a banned member posts and can choose to look at it. He's posted a few times on this thread, and true to form, when I expand his comments, I realize I made the right choice. He offers no redeeming social value at all.

I sprinkled your post on my plants. They started growing better. They thank you.

Poll showing Trump up 10 points over Biden for 2024 election criticized
Yeah, and the polls had Hilldog beating 45 before he became 45 by about 90%. So much for polls.

As a foreigner, are you used to the smell of fish sauce?
Not "used to it," rather I'm resigned to tolerating it. No matter how much I might whinge about it, it ain't going away.

Thai health minister backs cannabis ban, citing surge in teen usage
Do you REALLY think these kids give two sh ï ts whether or not it's legal? Kids gonna do what kids gonna do. These laws only hurt the small business owners, the general population/tourists, and the delicate, fragile sensibilities of those who don't like pot being legal. Gawd!

Both can be true.

PM claims foreign corporations now more at ease about investing in Thailand
Well, if he says so, it MUST be true!

What is the real deal with proposed foreign income tax changes?
It's in the title of your post - "proposed." And, just to be clear, if anything IS ever announced to clarify, it will be countermanded the next day.

Gawd, it's always two steps forward, three steps back with these people.

I cannot login to Lazada any more
For the best screen copy, use Alt + Print Screen This will only copy the section where the computer is focused, not the whole screen.

Get the Android Lazada app, it works in a pinch. My setup is identical - Win 10, Google Chrome - and my login has been hit and miss over the last two weeks. The app works rock solid.

Does anything really matter?
Not the first time for this cycle.

How Many On Your "Ignored Users" List?
No. One or more members were sneaking in some messages against forum rules, so the feature had to be removed.

You're being generous.

How Many On Your "Ignored Users" List?
Let me start with this preface - Please to NOT post specific members, this isn't a hateful finger pointing exercise! I'm just curious about the number you have banned to the phantom zone. I know one of the admins personally. He told me years ago I should try not to put people on my ignore list; even the dregs can occasionally offer a valuable perspective. I respected his opinion until recently when I put one member into Lala Land, and my forum experience has been MUCH more enjoyable ever since. I guess he was the exception to that rule. Your thoughts on the subject?

Facebook again ?
C'mon, it was an exaggeration. You know, tongue in cheek?

Cannabis Network Gives Health Minister A Warning
555! Seriously? Just about ANY of the little medical centers will sell you valium at a VERY reasonable rate. The same ones that will write you a prescription for just about anything you want. Even when Xanax was elevated in drug level of seriousness, all it did was bump up the price by 5 baht a pill.

If one doc won't, you just go up a block and will find one who will.

Thai PM says use of cannabis must be regulated within six months
OK, so it will cost an additional 150 baht to get "Dr. Somchai" to write me a script. Jeezuz wept!

Biden administration announces additional $325 million in military aid to Ukraine
Quite a short-sighted perspective. Should Putin succeed in taking Ukraine, do you really think he'll just take his tanks and go home, or push even further?

Certificate of residence in english from immigration?
Those documents are for Thai business needs. If you got one in English, most recipients would shake their heads and say, "Nope." I have to imagine there are smartphone apps that would do a rough translation for your own purposes.

You sold everything!
Nope. Kept my house, put it in the hands of a property manager I trust, and it's been a gold mine ever since. Should the day come where I need to go back to the homeland for health reasons, I have it, debt free.

Thai woman issues warning after naked woman breaks into her house in Krabi to watch TV (video)
Let's not be too hasty. From what little isn't pixilated, she doesn't look half bad.
