Yea, 17 yrs of living in Isan villages, and I apparently learned nothing. Even the basic public full education is better than less. Repetition of basic language & math has got to sink in a wee bit. Though not sure, since everyone uses a calculator to do basic math for returning change, at village vendors. If not knowing some employers in the USA required a diploma, though realistically, how many actually verify, and if my parents gave me a choice, which in reality, I don't think they cared, then I would have left high school early myself, and actually did think about leaving a year or 2 earlier, as was working basically full time anyway, hours wise per week. Knowing they were dead end jobs though, so thought better to get that piece of paper. Which in reality, didn't help at all, I don't think.

By 'messenger' do you mean FB, if so, and if you can see his 'friends' list, just contact one of his family on the list, as they should know if he passed. If 'friends' list is hidden, then maybe contact someone who has replied to any posts he may have made.

Good thing we travel w/ microwave. Chickie drove in, dropped off at the brekkie area, and good thing I was outside early w/ morning coffee, or would have never known she did. We were only people staying there, so no buffet style serving. Good thing we also travel with plates & all, as not sure if that plastic could, or I would even put in microwave. Actually not bad, except for standard low end sausage & sandwich ham. Broccoli, corn & carrots went nice with the eggs (3 ?), pork buns & carrot muffins. Room w/ Brekkie was only 500 THB, w/ seaview

You got that part right. How anyone can hypothesize what why how and when something happens in Thailand from a Thai news report is simply mind boggling. I agree with you ... going too fast for conditions is usually the reason of almost all accidents or simply not paying attention.

Maybe those who are able to learn and work, should actually learn something and get a job, then they won't be so less fortunate, waiting for their hand out. The only thing holding people back from being wealthy is their own stupidity and laziness. I'm considered uneducated, on paper and one of the laziest pieces of sh!t I know and yet I retired at 45 ... go figure. Live with your choices

Morning mist over the Gulf

That's some sad specs for that price Don't think Riddara RD6 has anything to worry about

... " The crash occurred around 20:45 " ...

I had a standing rule, date 2 yrs before marriage, and kept to it, first 2 marriages. After 2nd marriage, single for over 15 yrs. Broke the 2 yr rule with first Thai wife, which ended less than 1 yr in Didn't marry 2nd Thai wife till after living together for 8 yrs, and still living together now for total of 20 yrs. Should be the last one for me

You know what the call a guy 40+ yrs old and never married yet ... ... extremely intelligent ... or gay Myself, definitely not the 1st girlfriend, as didn't marry till 25, she was 19. 17/23 when dating and that seemed like a big age gap then Seemed a common theme with my relationships, and gaps got wider as I got older 🙄 Married and she couldn't legally drink alcohol in some states. Never had kids, as never met a woman that was mother worthy, until present wife, but didn't think it right to have one, at 50+ yrs old. Plus I already had the village orphan at that point, and one is more than enough. People wonder why they can't get out of that working, but no savings rut. Live with those stupid choices. Having kids when you can't afford them, along with depreciating 'look at me' toys on borrowed money

No concern, as I apparently have an 'athlete's' heart, or so the docs have told me. Simply stronger and doesn't need to pump much to get the blood where it needs to be. 49 might be a new low now, as don't recall below 50 before. As long as it's not -0- Apparently comes with the extra muscle and bone mass, that throws all those height / weight / BMI charts out the window. When not at rest, it moves into the 60s and low 70 range.

Your opinion doesn't align with our real life experience of owning a BEV, and we have no problem charging, and never an inconvenience, as the car is charging while we are doing something else. We're a fan of the Ibis hotel chain, having comfy beds & pet friendly. Many do have chargers available, and we've yet to use one, so that's how unnecessary they are to us, when O&A. Just more opinionated excuses not to own, from the ignorant non owners, and certainly not a reason not to own. I don't even think not being able to charge at home is much of a reason not to own, for most people now. Daughter's condo complex doesn't offer, and she has no problem charging while at work, and when doing her weekly shopping. Keep spinning, some idiot out there might believe you

Pick a # or a %, and it's mind boggling, especially as total sales of all, are down, I believe. Those #s don't include the unregistered EV, all those scooters & ebikes I see around town, 2 or 3 wheelers. Popped over a friend's house yesterday, drop of some papayas, and they had yet another 3 wheeler sitting in carport. Cute, but not for me, fine for smaller person. Them locals are way too smart & thrifty

BP should be taken at rest. This AM, woke, morning P, check BP after, and 130. Sit back down in bed, pet dog, instantly lowers BP, open internet, 5 ish mins later 119/65 P50. Check my usual sites, then scroll thru 10 hr of AN, somehow still awake, and unlike many, BP goes down, then 15 mins later, BP back to normal, 110 ish for me... BP always high at the docs or hosp, as they seem to like taking it as soon as you walk in. Which is usually a short rest after walking a bit, which may even include stairs if at the local hospital, as I don't wait for elevators or use, if only a couple flight of stairs. Always 130s or even 140s. Like when the intelligent nurse tell you do it again if 15 minutes. Now I just do it at home that AM, and show them a snap of.

We deserve / deserved all the tax break allotted to us. Considering 48% of the federal budget comes from income taxes. With the top 10% ers paying 72+% of all income taxes ...

Simple when lazy ... grilled cheese & beans. Yea, I know, you Brits would just put the beans on top the 'open' grilled cheese or vise versa ... Nah
