Not yet. Someone suggested that before. Thanks Maybe after rainy season starts, get some water in the stream and some better vis.

Seems to be what forums thrive on ... click click click I'm surfing while baking some Rye bread. Looking for a place with a view to kill a few days, within 300 kms of the house. Not having much luck, as been exploring the same area the past 7-8 yrs, and nothing perking my interest. Can't go too far, too long, till the rains kick in, as the garden will get too dry, even with the self watering lines. Along with things need to be picked when ready. Might have to change tacks, and pick something 'in town' instead of surfside or in the hills. With the smog, not much of a view anyway. Come on rainy season edit ... maybe I should have read @BritManToo's post first 🙄

That's not saying too much, considering some of the crap movies grossing 100s of millions of $$$, and highly rated, that I wouldn't spend $5 to see. If not for torrents, can't think of a movie of late, I'd pay to watch, even the 100 baht discount rate at theater.

Since we're on the road for 3+ hrs, it's also time for a munch, especially 1st or last leg of any O&A. As I'm not a brekkie person, and usually have 1st meal about 1100-1200 hrs, which is about 3+ hours after we leave the house. Along with seated for long time / distances also isn't recommended for us 'mature' folks, to avoid DVT, same recommendation for those on long flight, get up and walk around. Wife, dog & myself, one of us is already ready to P, at the 3 hr mark, if not sooner. Since there, might as well munch, and takes nothing to just plug in the car, 1st thing, while doing. When we're done, then the car is back to 90+% and we're good for the next, usually shorter leg, and check in to hotel, about 1400, or earlier if allowed. Rare occasion and we may make another 3 hr leg, but that really is rare, as my back isn't up to that these days. Days past, and 16-20 hrs on the road wasn't rare for me, when playing truck driver. Especially the Philly to Miami run, and simply take a short nap, a swim, a munch, and return to Philly. Even with the ICEV, and 3+ hr was always our limit. Never in a hurry to go anywhere in retirement. I last longer than the wife anyway, on the bladder range. Prostate isn't a problem with me. MG makes an EP model ... 😎

Actually cheap for an implant, as I was quoted 40-60k.

Spec'd fine when compared to others at the same price point, Neta V for example. 49kWh battery is 3+ hours on Thai roads, with a good reserve, and a break is always welcome at that point. Our ZS is only 50kWh, and more than enough for our 'bladder' range. A 60kWh battery would be nicer, but we'd still be stopping after 250 kms, as we average 80 kph on the highways, if lucky. Agree, and exactly why we didn't get the 'X' model. Featured packed for only 70k more, but definitely didn't want the sunroof, along with the extra electronic, we don't or wouldn't use. They are usually the complaints from owners of all vehicles. The more bells & whistles, the more things go wrong. We don't use some of the features we have now. Main concern beside the heat from sunroof, was 2 drivers, constantly adjusting the 'electric' seat, and only a matter of time before it craps out. No thanks, especially if it craps out after wife driving, then would have to get fixed.

Guess the doc suspects an infection. No antibody prescribed ?

Yes, for a 3rd world country, and just 3 years into the BEV market, TH has done and amazing job. Especially with the charging network. Not the fastest cables, but more than enough units, and speed. Our ZS only accepts 76kWh anyway. 2022 (May), when we ordered the ZS, BYD's Atto 3 was just being available at the same time. Along with GWM (Ora Kitties) also hitting the market. No dealer networks yet. MG had little to no real competition then. What a change in 3 year.

Yep, the vid I posted above points out why Tesla is the go to BEV, since having a charging network in the USA. A new wrinkle, China (BYD) was reported with stating, they are concerned about USA pinching their tech, if they start importing into the USA. Though not sure that's too believable, as BYD is readily available in Mexico. Plus Tesla is open end about their patents, so the tech is available. BYD may be more protective about their battery tech, but again, nothing to keep USA makers from simply buying in Mexico and copying the tech. I think it's most big oil & gas control, same as why solar is so expensive in the USA. I priced our solar system for Philly area, and it's 3X the cost Lot of that is probably labor cost, and simple price gouging of anything, that saves people money in the future.

As long as alcohol & tobacco products are used it movies & TV series, you really don't need to advertise, as that is more than enough to influence people, to copy people they admire.

Just a matter of time, till they, ICEV, become collector items. Apparently faster in TH, then some other countries (USA) still dominated & controlled by big oil & gas. When the BEV & PHIV pick up hit the market in force, ICEV are in deep sh!t I just saw a Mazda 2 promo, and the EV price war, pricing, taking it's toll on the ICEV market. About 150k off the olld price of 600k, now 459k .... OUCH Not leaving much for profit, if any, as the main components for ICEV aren't coming down in price. That's just a bit more than ours cost in 2012, 415k, when the 100k excise tax rebate was in effect. Our 2020 MG ZS (ICEV), was on sale from 739k to 695k back then, and now the 'D' model is 599k. Glad we sold when we did, as a 5 yr old ZS wouldn't bring 400k now. And that was a buyers market during covid.

No, didn't miss the point, it just wasn't interesting. Showing the effects on the family of a wayward child making the news is of no interest to me. Especially as it was presented.

Depends why prescribed. If immune system is compromised, then will give a bit of a boost. That is definitely a high dose, but I doubt if it is harmful, as most excess will pass in your urine, as you'll notice deep yellow color. High vitamin C intake may affect other minerals & vitamin absorption along with meds. You may also need something else, so that the vit C is absorbed, or would be a waste to even take. Sure you read, if too much for your system, you'll notice digestive issues.

She might have dentures

Eps 1 of 'Adolescence' was interesting, as a Yank, and if true, the way a juvy is processed, and way different than my experiences in the USA. Last scene w/vid brought it all together. Eps 2-3-4, was simply a waste of my time. The swat team making the arrest was totally ridiculous. Give eps 1 a 5/10, the rest, don't bother.

Me and wife would still be hungry after that meal. Small serving of both ribs & roast. But I guess that's the going rate for AC pub on Suk rd area, tourist ghetto. I guess they didn't have any money left for beverages. Not that I would ever take the wife to that part of town anyway. As she doesn't need the condescending looks, or comments from some drunk, I might have to shove into moving traffic, as too lazy to fight people at my age

Don't stress on trying to eat healthy. What ever works for you. Most of us know what is bad for you. Eat what 'current' studies suggest. Myself, if haven't noticed, a Keto-ish dining lifestyle. Like my eggs, cook with mostly Canola oil, avoid starchy carbs & sugar. No junk, plenty of whole food home cooking. Plenty of variety and easy to stick to. Throw in intermittent fasting, 15+ hrs, mostly overnight (2000 - 1100 hrs) and weight control is on auto pilot.

I'm with the 'good riddance' folks, as one less nutter on the streets my wife & daughter don't have to worry about ever encountering. Trying to steal a MB with 2 guys standing next to it. Only makes you wonder what he'd do if nobody was around. Autopsy should be interested, if a follow up is ever offered.

Anyone looking for a no frills 'small' microwave ... we just picked up a Midea 20L, for ฿1690 @ Global House. Best price we could find for it, Model: MM7P012MZ. (3% off with CC purchase if qualifying) Midea is an OEM for microwaves for Toshiba, Whirlpool, Black+Decker, GE, Comfee & others, along with offering a better warranty than rebranded ones. https://globalhouse.co.th/product/MIDEA-ไมโครเวฟ-อินเวอร์เตอร์-ธรรมดา-ขนาดควาจุ-20-ลิตร-รุ่น-MM7P012MZ-สีดำ-i.6944271674628 Also while out shopping today, picked up an office chair from HomePro, who have a strange pricing structure. In store 'sale' price of ฿2189 (MSRP 2999 ?) Show rep online price of ฿1490 ... ... let me check front desk ... offer for ฿1890 buy now, in store 🙄 While sitting in the display chair, I order on line, pay, and select 'pick up' at PKK branch. Walk up to service desk, and 'picked up' I could have actually selected, assemble & deliver for free. Mind Boggling

Yea, I took a lot more, and longer breaks away from home when living in Udon Thani. Now live were we use to go quite often, so sometimes wonder why we bother going O&A. They are shorter, and more about different food and a view, not so much exploring anything new, as already did that the first 20 years here. As stated a few times, the journey is more interesting than the destinations. And we only seem to settle in for a day or 2, before moving one. It's nice when we find a bungalow with a view & pool alang with good food, or a great night market nearby.

Yes, I had 2 huge tax bills, actually after retirement, because I no longer had any deductions. Broke that 5% income level, with no deductions, so yea .... OUCH Although through some creative number playing, managed to keep below the max tax rate of 37% at the time. Registered in a state with no income tax. 😎 For the curious, 5% starts @

Not exactly cooking, but needs to be done a couple times a week to have a constant supply of Milk & Water Kefir

Everyone is subject to the same tax code, and can use to their advantage. How much taxes did his assets provide to the tax base ? RE & school taxes on his business and personal properties, assets. Taxes for just 1 property ... How much income did he put into the economy via his employees' salaries, along with their income tax contributions. Along with every other tax they paid on their purchases, RE taxes, school taxes, providing more jobs & tax revenue. Smart rich people don't have an income, by paying themselves salaries. They get low interest loans against their assets, and live off that. Paying 5-10% interest, instead of 25-37% income tax, then deduct the interest off their tax liabilities. All things everyone can do. Tax code is available for everyone to use and or abuse. Allowing everyone to manage their finances the best they can .... ... to afford those vacations (always on topic) OMT ... work smarter not harder

Wonder if SAIC's pick up will make an appearance at auto show. I bit too plush for me, and priced accordingly, ฿2-2.5M, from online reports. Waiting for something around ฿700k w/60kWh battery and more importantly, a proper 2m cargo bed. Don't need another SUV with small cargo bed, that my wife can't even stretch out on. Kind of wish Toyota, would electrify it's 'Champ' pick up, since having a proper work bed available for it ... OMT ... I didn't just say that out loud

Huge 1st meal for me @ 1300 hrs. Usually just the eggs. No need for a snack around 1500 hrs Eggs, spicy sausage, pumpkin, kale & Rye, smothered with butter Off for my healthy 🙄 morning / afternoon walk at the park, w/sunscreen 2k & vapor mask
