Air fryer good for fast small food prep. We use, but for us, 2 people, far from practical to make a meal. I need a larger convection over, since doing a bit of baking. Sometimes not wanting a powerful fan on while doing. Eggs, would think 2 weeks, and about a long as our slab of 30 last anyway. Yolks still nice & furm. We only buy frozen salmon, and already vacuum packed, so stays fresh for quite sometime. We also have a vacuum sealer, and highly recommend, as stuff last long when vacuum sealed, since you probably be stocking up on protein. I'm a low carb/high protein & fat eater, skin on & thighs/legs vs breasts. The 'What are you cooking today' thread is quite good, for tips, and I post there when making something different, and usually post a recipe or source that I followed. Follow a few YT'ers and very helpful with many things. Happy Cooking

50th class reunion was 2023, and since I didn't even attend the graduation ceremony back in 1973, having better things to do, its safe to assume, I didn't attend any of the reunions. As stranger things happen, my last job @ NWA, and I ended up working with 4 alumni of our high school, 1 from my classes, and 2 other, sort known associates at the time also, since dippy hippies. The other, an in law to my present GF while working there. Small world as paths cross decades later. Then retired here, and in Udon Thani, met ex NWA employee, and a good friendship developed.

Hillside munching ...

Ignorance is the only reason not to by an BEV, unless you must have a pick up truck. Aside from unable or unwilling to charge. Price certainly isn't a issue. Range shouldn't be an issue for most people.

EV haters rejoice ...

Damn, I guess I've been blessed. Y'all are making me feel appreciative of my life and partner experiences. Had a couple that were a PITA, and avoiding would have saved a headache or 3, but none that turned me off of being in a future relationship. Though do admit, #4 as a pleasant surprise as had no thought of long term relationship after #3. That she was mother material to my daughter when I was playing single parent probably had a lot to do with it. As 1 GF before her, yelled at my daughter for not being respectful enough to her elders (me), in the Thai sub servant way. She was gone that weekend, as free speech was allowed, as long as done properly. Another was gone because the daughter didn't warm up to her, and was ignored. It's a package deal ... bye bye.

As long as you got friends w/bennies, living alone is easy. I've had 2 lifelong friends w/bennies, along with meeting a few along the way, most coworkers while doing my 13 years at NWA, and longest stretch of living mostly alone. Breaks in between 3 marriages were longer than the marriages. Here / TH, was a bunch of very short GF, or one night stands, since never established any friends w/bennies. Seems everyone ones to get married. No thanks, I needed a break, did that 3 times. And then, along came #4 ....

7 was re-establishing old and or new relationship. Thought that was kind of silly, unless partner kept you from you family & friends. Or maybe if happy & occupied, you simply let old friends and family slip away. Things that living with someone really shouldn't affect. Some of it, most of it, was like ... 'why would a relationship interfere with any of it' ... unless a controlling partner or just took up all your time tending to partner's needs. I'm bored, so I watched it. Still digesting, even after the walk in the park.

I have these, when in a relationship, or the relationship ends. And a couple of those did end the relationship, probably. If not with present wife, Living alone with just the dog would work, but nice having someone here. Even though part, sometimes most of the day, we don't even see or talk to each other If you don't have these, I think a few need to grow a set If to lazy to watch the vid, advantages of living alone, although a few of those are the same thing, just reworded. Got to fill in the vid time somehow... 1. Freedom to be yourself 2. Piece & quiet 3. Personal growth & self discovery 4. Control over your environment 5. Financial independence 6. Improved mental health 7. Strengthened relationships 8. Independence & confidence 9. Rediscovery of simple pleasures Are there really that many introverts in unhappy relationships that don't respect themselves enough to be themselves, with or without whom ever they may be with at the time. I sh!t bothers you in a relationship, have a conversation. If that doesn't work, oh well ... BYE BYE NEXT ... or get a dog ... I can't be alone. Me & the dog got to someone to talk about.

First meal today ...

Seriously ... MSM darling & this administration can do no wrong ... was that a Unicorn I just saw fly by. 😎 I do keep in contact with a few folks from the MotherLand. All comfy & successful, but none happy with this administration's handling of ... everything Watch the puppeteer's PR, or talk with real people you know & respect UP2U

I don't think anyone living in the USA wants 4 more years, if the last 3+ years is what they are going to get. As an expat, I welcome 4 more of the same, as my income/buying power increased ~35%, (COLA & exchange rare) and paced inflation here a wee bit, or at least kept up with it. 2024 .... HARRIS .... 2024

Yes, I would also, and more like 100%. With his health, I'd do it right after the election results and not wait till next year. Don't know what Trump has to do with the topic, as all presidents have gone pardon crazy at the end of their term. More than a few embarrassing ones, from both sides of the aisle. Especially Clinton & Obama ... but for another thread 😎

No sticker on the back, listing model # or specs. Some info from EVE site: Specs from ... link 6v DC solar panels

Anyone thinking dad is not going to pardon him before leaving office

That forecast is spot on ... again. Another gray day ahead. Although, already producing a bit more than using. That's with 1 AC going in the bedroom.

I think if I was in that situation, I'd go ultra alternative therapy. Watched a few on YT, no sugar/carbs, strict proteins/fat diet, massive vit A or whatever supplement kind of stuff, and supposedly successful. As BritMan2 points out, and agree, recurring & spread already, don't think I'd bother with chemo, to see if it kills the cancer before killing me therapy. Along with living in misery the 6-12 months of your life. Try something different, thinking outside the box, that might actually work or not, but think I'd rather try that than the chemo route.

I really don't need or want to pay someone to do some of the most simplest tasks here. I do have all day, since retired. Visa/extensions, driver's license, banking accounts, are all way too easy to DIY. I'm actually amazed people ask for and need help with the simplest things. If using a crap Imm office, that takes hrs to do things, then I can see paying to Q jump, but that's about it. Luckily have never needed.

And yet, the USA, operating on a deficit budget, sends Turkey shy of 200 million last year. Why ??? Also a NATO member, and wanting to join BRICS, and people talk about WW III ... IGNORANCE IS BLISS source

Solar production past 3 days has been just OK, and looks like the next week, probably 5 to 7 of the next 10 days, is going to be the same. Good .. not brutally sunny & hot, and no 'feels like' 5-10+ degrees added to ambient temp. Can actually get by with just fans, although still enough produced to run the ACs, if not too abusive. Bad ... takes a good part of the day to recharge the ESS. Instead of topped up before 1000 hrs, it's taking till 1400 hrs. Although you can tell when I charged the MC. Got back from the park with the dog just as it started to drizzle a bit of rain. Also backed a Cheesecake for about 1 hr worth of appliances, and wife on the sewing machine, all day. Certainly not charging the car, though don't need to. The rain part is, just an annoying (if on scooters) drizzle now & than. Shies are almost 100% clouds, light, allowing sun through, to very ominous dark gray, but not much rain. A bit better than overcast & heavier rain, as that would probably knock production down to 10 ish kWh a day. Needing 6kWh over night, if minimal AC, or just fan on, while sleeping.

Season 2, Episode 12

Nah.. not a P4P kind of guy. That's what GFs & wives are for.

I'm rarely there for 1 hour. Don't know what the rate is, but 5k seems to be the minimum on local forum. That's just jumping the Q, they do nothing else, as you still need to prep your paperwork. Which for me is about 15 minutes at the bank, to order, then pick up the following week. Make a few copies & done. So reality is, I'm being told to sit and read the internet for 1 hr and I'm paid anywhere from 2500 - 5000 baht. To do something I do every day ... hmm ... let me think

Definitely, as they're not going to give up their money train easily. They've postponed Solar & BEV development as long as they could. Lots of CH haters out there, but if it wasn't for CH, what we're seeing now, with solar & BEVs being affordable, wouldn't have happened for another decade or 2. USA still doing their best to delay progress of both, and keeping both silly expensive compared to here and other countries. IGORANCE IS BISS CHINA ROCKS

Yea, I hate them all. BBL was at the Lotus's mall though, so convenient and never crowded. Since there every Tuesday or so, for Swensen's 2 for 1 scoops, it was just too convenient. Of course they closed that branch now, and only the main branch in town. I just pop in every 3 or 4 months, so balance doesn't go over $10k USD, so 1 less thing to file.
