You just won $1,000,000, US Dollars
2 scenarios; ... now, retired, don't need extra money, so that would add 50k USD to the play budget, for the next 20 years, and highly unlikely I'd live that long. ... If 30 yrs younger, still working, then I'd buy 15 rental properties, Section 8 them (USA govt housing), net at least $750 a month, each X 15 = 11k+ a month income, then stick with original plan, visit all the Nat Parks in USA, and anywhere else, then after those 5 yrs, deciding where to live, with nice $135k a year income. And .... still have over 1 million in RE equity ????

Chiropractor or Pysiotherapist Udon Thani area
Physical therapist (maybe does adjustments also), at Bangkok Hospital. Massaged away my carpel tunnel, never to return vs my brother (in USA) having surgery about the same time, for the same thing, and it returned ???? USA, what a joke. That was some time ago, she was mid 20s maybe, so now knocking on 40.

Nationwide Milk Shortage
That little tidbit surprised me, when I read it way back when, as having a thread discussing fresh vs milk powder.

If you were looking for a new relationship today what age gap would you aim for and why?
That's silly, as age is irrelevant. I've never cared or asked how old someone is when meeting, How old they feel or act that matters. If I acted my age, I'd never be in a relationship with people that I can laugh with.

Nationwide Milk Shortage
Surprising, as even our local Makro had DutchMill the other day. Obviously I got there on a day of so after they restocked as only three 2L left, but a huge empty area, so had the normal restock. Plenty of the other milk/dairy options. We're not exactly located mainstream or large, and an hour below Hua Hin, which also was well stocked a few days ago, at the Gourmet Market. I would think we're on the last stop southbound from Krung Thep warehouses, and Chumphon and Surat Thani have local distribution centers stocking them. Almost 200 kms below us.

Russian Elites Are Transforming Thailand’s Biggest Island as They Become More Unwelcome in the West
That would depend where you actually live at those location. They're far from small. All the silliness happens at the beaches. I live in a 'Thai' tourist area, get the weekenders and occasional tour buses. But I don't live where they are visiting. Had a friend with a house on Kamala for years, and he never went to the beaches where the tourist were. All is avoidable, without much effort. Most people don't venture further than their '15 minute' city anywhere, the majority of the week.

If you were looking for a new relationship today what age gap would you aim for and why?
Been here 23+ yrs, so had my fair share of GFs & wives. Also ignore more than my fair share of smile pointed my way. More than a few wouldn't mind or tried to latch on to me. Easy to find like minded lasses, no need to pay, well, I don't. Not being overweight & perched on a barstool has it's advantages.

Trip on motor bike
I wouldn't rely on those filters too much. Always call to verify, or have a Plan B-C-D available. We travel with dog, and so many 'pets allowed/not allowed listing are the opposite. Booking site state low price guarantee, and have rarely had one in the past 17+ yrs that was cheaper than the wife calling. This being low-mid priced accommodations <2000 baht, usually 700-1500 baht. Many listed on Agoda & Booking.com w/price guarantees. Best thing about Gmap is access to ph#, or link to a FB page for ph#. Verify info via photos of visitors, and streetview.

Nyet Complete opposite of the one I met recently on Phuket, young, fit, w/brunette GF/wife. If he hadn't said from RU, I would have never guessed.

Ferry to Koh Samui Malfunctions and Strands Frightened Passengers for Hours
Is there any other ferry route in the world that has more oops than ferries getting to Samui? I might visit after the bridge is completed ... or not.

Car in my Name.
No. A will would work, or POA easier, but sign 2, leaving one blank (but do reference car in blank one). Signing blue book might work.

US Passport Photos
You can simply take the photo yourself and use the 'how to' instructions on the PP renewal site when submitting PP renewal. No need to go to a shop, and guessing you'll have a quicker turn around if you don't. 1 less step they don't have to do.

Why Is Your Granddaughter SMARTER than YOU Ever Were? (Or…Was James Flynn FULL OF IT?)
Oh krap, now I have to actually read the OP ... along with crawling out from under that rock. Didn't watch the vid, as too smart to. Remember, IQ simply measures your potential ability to learn, and with all things, if you don't apply yourself, you'll remain as dumb as the rock I'm going back under.

Bangchak petrol member card not for foreigners?
I'll use it for Inthanon coffee & treats. Actually accumulates points faster, every 20 baht spent. Half the 'soon to be' liter price. If not @ MG, we top up @ PEA Volta, BangChaks if more convenient than PEA offices, depending what's near by.

Thai Music we love
Any good guitar or sax player will do. The less lyrics (screeching voice) the better.

Why Is Your Granddaughter SMARTER than YOU Ever Were? (Or…Was James Flynn FULL OF IT?)
Smarter ... NO More progressive in current tech usage, since using more than myself, YES ... well, maybe. I can do math in my head and read a paper map, still know & remember history. Doubt most under 30 or 40 yo have a clue if not referring to their phone first.

Heat Wave Mania
Actually he is spot on, as la nina & el nino affect different areas differently, globally. Experts vs bar stools ... "While El Niño and La Niña do impact global climate patterns; however, they neither affect all regions nor do are their impacts in a given region the same. In many locations, especially in the tropics, La Niña (or cold episodes) produces roughly the opposite climate variations from El Niño." https://www.unocha.org/themes/el-niño/el-niño-and-la-niña#:~:text=While El Niño and La,climate variations from El Niño.
