Does this sound like affordable healthcare to you And doesn't kick in till your bills are how much ? If you have an oops (on single plan), and go to hospital, your insurance cost $8,951 ... to simply have, then kicks in after your deductible of $7,258 $16,209 ... cost to you before you get to pay 40% of the rest of your bill So a medical oops that cost $66,209, cost you $36,209, and the insurance picks up $30,000. Here's the most bizarre thing I read. Gag clauses ... In some states, if you give the pharmacist, your health ins. card, it's 'illegal' for the pharmacist to tell you, if you pay cash, instead of using your ins., then it's cheaper than just your deductible if using health insurance Note, there are 50 states ...

I just logged in to FID, and did a transfer of funds, my pension DD account, to 'cash management' account, and no issues at all. It did show the new balance in CM account, though didn't show the debit out of the other account. That's a first, and will probably catch up to itself in a few minutes. Last month I did get the OTP thingy, and forget what I was doing, just logging in maybe. I just FB msgr to brother, make sure he was a wake, and he just gave me the code, as I use his address & ph#. I occasionally get the 'you're international' do you agree bla bla bla, on the opening page. I enter on the 'sign in' page, and usually flawless. Only get the 'you're int'l' a couple times a year. Only transactions I do is pension gets DD, then I transfer to CM account, then ATM withdrawal in TH. Last year, the only other transaction was CC use for 2 iHerb order2. Anything else online, and it's COD. I have a few IRAs, and other 2 active accounts mentioned. They just resent my CC/Debit cards for those 2 accounts, to brother's address, and he just forwards them to me. Been with Fidelity for over 45 years, I think. Great service, and free account/ATM usage worldwide. No fees anywhere (USA / TH) when doing withdrawals. Never really had a bank account in last 45 years. Other non broker accounts were Credit Union account with airlines that I worked for. Again, great services and no fees. Better interest rates. Never had a car loan, and only 2 mortgages, and they were paid off in like 5 years, thanks to tenants. Not a fan of interest, and every spare $$$ went to paying off the principle of mortgages. Especially when the first one was about 11%. Thanks Jimmy

Carter's administration was a disgrace, not the man. I think all agree on that. There is nothing redeeming about Biden. Personally or politically. Worst presidents, in order of, in my adult life ... ... LBJ, got most Yanks killed (Nam) ... Bush/Cheney, huge human death toll, war on terror ... Obama, continuation of, bail out of stockbrokers & destroyed healthcare ... Nixon & Clinton, just plain embarrassing ... Carter, Bush & Ford, just useless ... Reagan, union busting, as much of the fault falls on the unions themselves.

I avoid exposure as much as I possibly can. Use glass and stainless steel for water and food storage, cooking/microwaving. Transfer most things that I can out of plastic, into glass, if feasible. Try to only shop in AC'd market (Makro), so not stored in heat, though that probably doesn't help much ... keeps me cool though Reading above, I always try to wear 100% cotton, though for comfort and not other reason. Plastic definitely has it's uses & purpose, as I'm strongly opposed to paper & wood products. Especially as a replacement for plastic items. There is nothing eco friendly about cutting trees down.

Alien: Romulus ... have to avoid comparison to #1 & 2 Bad Boys: Ride or Die ... nice tie in to previous one Gladiator II ... slow going, but revenge twist at end redeemed it Road House Long for days past of something intelligent or thought provoking: ... V for Vendetta ... Equilibrium ... Matrix ... Enemy of the State ... Philadelphia ... Wall Street ... The Firm ... Man on Fire ... City of Ghost ... Human Trafficking ... Brokedown Palace ... Beyond Rangoon ... Constant Gardener ... Michael Clayton ... The Ugly American ... Platoon

Not inexpensive, but if I was diagnosed as 'diabetic' and on insulin, I think I go with a CGM. IF constantly monitoring, and adjusting one's diet, you may become un-diabetic, and not need the meds. Though it would require adjusting one's intake of pleasurable foods Actually, isn't that hard, as I've made the adjustment, since was getting close to pre diabetic myself. Even easier to do if you love CheeseCake, as homemade, and you can cut the sugar content to less than half, and won't even miss it. If anything, taste better. From your previous post, you do seem content to have meds & your sweets & starchy carbs. I've used the 'urine' litmus strips, for glucose & ketone levels, and surprisingly accurate, (tested before & after blood work results) and very inexpensive. Though probably not as accurate or precise, for what you want. LAZ ... "Easy to detect Leukocytes, Nitrite, Urobilinogen, Protein, pH, Blood, Spcific Gravity, Ketone, Bilirubin, Glucose."

Of the very few I watched on that list, only 4 were decent time killers, if that, and except for a couple others, (a waste of time), didn't bother with any of the others on the list, as didn't care for the plotline/subject, or get pass the trailer. Didn't see one movie in 2024, that would come even close to a recommend/must see for anyone. A few decent time killers, OK subject matter, or nice twists, but that's it. Nothing I'd consider paying ฿100 to watch at a Thai theater. Leaves me guilt free about viewing torrents. Without, I'd probably never watch any movies or TV series.

You seem to be a lost soul (or trolling), in which case, stay away from high rise accommodations, as the temptation to join the "Flying Club" may be too much for you

Yes ... convenience. Same reason there are bars, massage shops & 7-11s. Personally have no need or desire for the first 2, and just 7-11 comes in quite handy, when O&A

2024 ... Production 7.74 MWH = 645kWh monthly = ฿2,853 (PEA) ฿2,853 x 12 = ฿34,236 Saved + petrol savings of ~฿42,500 *** Total 'potential' savings for 2024 = ฿76,736 *** Petrol savings based on 17k kms all local, all solar charged, vs Bangchak price for 91 @ ฿35 (14kpL)

Whipped a batch of EggNog ... tasty. Made Mayo, without the proper ingredients, and still turned out pretty good. Never buying that again.

Tell me about ... I'm really turning into a LPOS. Actually worked up a sweat, putting air in the tires yesterday, 10 of 'em ... ... pedal bike ... ebike ... E scooter ... E car WTF, That's just sad ... Considering when I first got here, I'd cut 1/2+ rai with a weed whacker, before buying a mower. Then 2nd house, 2 rai of mowing, weed whacking and chain saw cutting crap. Not to mention, building a cinder block storage area, 15 X 3m, along with plumbing in various 2000 L water tanks & pumps, in ground, on second floor (gravity feed), buried lines, 9 tanks in a row, 2 in ground, 2 on raised / 2nd floor. Cut a damn tree down that fell onto the 'garage' with a circular saw, pre-chain saw owning Now putting air in the tires, works up a sweat 🙄

Don't know if the obvious has been pointed out yet ... ... there are a lot of old people ... there area lot of obese people ... doesn't seem to be a lot of old, obese people

Yes, by why bother, as by the time the appeals process is over, he'll be lucky to remember who he is. Leave the poor guy alone, as has enough to deal with when he reflects on his life, and realizes what a failure he has been, and all the lives he probably ruined being a politician, if not directly resulting in some of their deaths.

Or youngins, hitting puberty and realizing they may be gay or bi, need to understand that's simply as sexual preference, not a sex or gender that need meds or surgery. Neither meds nor surgery is going to change their sex/gender, of which there are only 2. That's why when you are born, they put male or female on your birth certificate. The don't put 'unknown' or 'UP2U'

Above or Below 30° North or South, not in the red rectangle ...

That's so rare, it's not even worth mentioning.

As if a 3some is something new. Though prefer a 2nd female over a dude, but hey, what ever you enjoy

All you need is a vehicle, and follow the map ... to anywhere south of, and chill for 6 months, mid Nov to mid May:

or adults You're XX or XY when born, and that's what you be when you die. No matter what you think or do, that is NEVER going to change.

Just waking up every day in 2025 works for me. The rest is easy

Thanks, excellent vid, and yea, gloomy for JP & ICEVs. Along with sales down, also brain drain and people are smartly, jumping ship. CHINA ROCKS

Just the usually fake doom & gloom scenarios that we'll be fed, and I'll ignore, as usually. Love the nuke photo above, too funny. Nothing more taxes can' solve. Me me me ... been a while since I did something stupid, or bought something (frivolous) that I don't need ... damn if I'm not due 🙄 Do need a new hobby. Another year of more smiles, and appreciating just waking up 😎

I counted 40 on Gmaps, without out zooming in, which would show more.
