2025 SSA Form 7162 - "Hello, are you dead yet?" forms.
Since no address, I simply put my address where it asked to, if different from below, which it is, since nothing there. Yes, there is a place to fill in SS #. Under # 6, as blocks were blank, so I filled in with my SS #. And I used pdf form, that allows you to simply fill in & check of the boxes, using keyboard of laptop. Then saved / downloaded, sent to wife's FB msgr, she printed it off, signed and dated it, then mailed it to Wilkes Barra PO. 2 copies, one last Friday, and one yesterday.

Taking a shot of EVOO per day
I posted a few meta analysis of studies stating the complete opposite. I'll go with those, as current, random, not observational, with blood work #s, to back up their findings. The numbers that I actually care about. Canola performing as good or better than most, if not all alternative oils & fats, EVOO included. Common sense dictates less saturated fat in your diet. I'm a big fan of fat & protein in my diet, but try to choose wisely which I consume. Marginal, but better. Plus no worry about fake EVOO, or being heat sensitive when cooking. Added plus of being a lot less expensive.

For Americans with Social Security Questions
Then give it away to a cause you believe in. The other choice, is to let the govt continue to waste it, on pork spending that only benefit them. Give it to an orphanage, or a hospital that specializes in children's care. I used to give any extra money to Philly Children's Hosp, or St Jude's / McDonald House in Memphis, both geared to the treatment of children with cancer. When living in Udon, there was 2 charities, an girl's orphanage & a disabilities charity, and gave a wee bit to them. Though short lived, for different reason, plus I left the area. Using for my own daughter instead, and her future. Priorities 🙄

Taking a shot of EVOO per day
Keep the temps low, or you defeat the purpose. Canola fan myself, and multiple studies show it's a better, healthier choice, along with higher smoke point, if using to cook with.

For Americans with Social Security Questions
Then why not take at your SS retirement age (67), or even earlier, especially since you really don't need it. It's your money, you & employer paid for it. My mother made to 74, I'm 70, but much healthier than both (father 69), as stone alkys & chain smoker, along with rest of their siblings dying even younger, lung & liver cancers. Have older brothers, 77 & 73, still kickin'. We're all fairly healthy, but don't abuse our bodies. I took my company pension early, and can actually live on that pitiful amount. If live past 75, then that was a bad decision, but I really don't care, as would need to live past 80 to add up to much. Which, don't need anyway, and wife can't access when I crap out. We have our finances set up, that we banked all of my SS last year, and will probably bank 11 months of SS this year. Inflation and our spending increasing, and we'll probably only bank half of SS next year. Unless we make a frivolous purchase It just goes into wife's investment / retirement fund, along with available as my 'oops' fund. It's a nice place to be, financially, very fortunate, but hey, we worked hard for it, sort of. Could crap out today, who knows Take it, spend it, save it, or somewhere in between, and enjoy yourself.

Thai Army Denies Responsibility for Artillery Shells That Landed in Laos
Not attacking the news, and after reading it, my reply actually reinforces what the General is saying.

How long do you plan on living ? How's the gene pool, age of parents, if & when passing ? Any health issues now.

Thai Army Denies Responsibility for Artillery Shells That Landed in Laos
Not attacking the news, and after reading it, my reply actually reinforces what the General is saying. Even if from Wat Preah Vihear area, that's still 60 kms away, and due east vs south. I can read a map, thank you. Don't think they are using anything with that range. 107mm tank round is only good for 11k meters, at best. Mortar rounds half that distance. Doubt if using 155 mm HE ERFB RA/BB VLAP, as that would be overkill, and still less the 60 kms range.

Thai Army Denies Responsibility for Artillery Shells That Landed in Laos
Isn't that where most of the conflict is centered around. Have to admit, I'm really not following this little skirmish. But Laos is due east, and Cambo, due south Nobody's aim is that bad. Should we put this up with Cambo fake news that they downed an F16. I didn't read the OP, as too silly to even consider.

Thai Army Denies Responsibility for Artillery Shells That Landed in Laos
That would be like a 200+ kms errant round, in a complete wrong direction, (east vs south), from Prasat Ta Muen Thom, to Laos border

2025 SSA Form 7162 - "Hello, are you dead yet?" forms.
What's really nice, and sad (2nd part) ... ... I've gotten back every tax dollar I ever paid ... if I live a couple more years, I will have drawn as much SS, as I've made with salaried jobs, which was only around the half mill mark (USD), that's sad, and only the last 8 years of working did I make any acceptable wages (1993-2001) Been getting SS for 24 years come this Sept, and best part is now, I don't even need it to live on 😎

It seems that that the Covid pandemic scared people stupid
I find the amazing part of it all, us high risk aged folks, especially Yanks, lived through a period of great distrust of Govt & news. And yet, so many fell for it hook, line & sinker. They truly believed the most ridiculous statements, ignore facts from medical professionals that did speak out. Lining up for an experiment shot, that wasn't approved by anyone. Truly mind boggling Think back now at the silliness you had to go through to enter a chain store (Makro) to shop for food. Thermal sensor & masks, that did absolutely nothing. Some of the silly separation at restaurants when they did open up ... ... X ing on floors, seat, spacing, plastic partitions

Tensions with Cambodia Impact Thai Baht and Tourism
You joined AN in 2023, so you haven't been here long enough, maybe, to realize, it's rarely 36 or above. As the chart shows.

I have the wife fill out & sign my my 7162, so the money will never stop, unless I die in a public area while out and about. Made a vid with me smiling and blinking, incase they ever go live facial recognition like BBL does now. Got all the bases covered 😎

TGM has a Chorizo, but rarely is it stocked. Tasty, though TBH, have nothing to compare it to. Always buy it when I find it.

Tensions with Cambodia Impact Thai Baht and Tourism
So you must be working in TH, as it's rarely 36 On topic as always, this little skirmish won't affect THB and should be over before high season kicks in. Though may affect Nov / Dec bookings a bit, for the ignorant tourists.

Thailand Cambodia armed conflict -- where do western expats fit in this mess?
We don't fit in at all. As stated, not Thai nor Cambodian. Same with RU & UA, as neither nationality. It's their problem not ours.
