Adumbration

But is your wife?

Actually I find sex clears the mind rather than cloud it. And it definitely helps with my prostate issues.

I have just painted my front fence, PM me and I will give you my address so you can come over and watch it dry.

And what about the security issue. The chances of me losing or someone stealing my desktop PC are neglible compare to the risk that someone could take my phone.

If you are happy living alone in the boondocks of rural Australia good for you. I prefer my house by the Andaman sea and waking up next to my beautiful young Thai GF. I just renewed my Non-O extension myself for another year and 45 days early. Cost me 1900 baht. Yesterday I took my dive boat out to sea and anchored off a nearby coral Island. I speared four big fish and then floated in the morning sunshine looking at the view and eating my lunch. GF shagged me stupid this morning. Tonight we are having a seafood buffet for dinner. Fried red snapper, tempura squid, and steamed blue swimmer crabs....all caught be me. Yep definitely more happy to be were I am and not in some tumble down fibro rental house skirting the desert in Kickatinalong South Australia and watching cricket on the TV for daily entertainment.

I wonder how many of the people skipping meals to survive were mortgage holders? 40% of all residential mortgages in Australia are about to reset from 2% pandemic rates to 6-7%. There will be lots of mortgage holder in Australia skipping meals shortly also.

Money to buy those elephant tickets has to come from somewhere?

Well, I have been posting for a while now that things are slowly getting back to normal. But this new article now confirms that things ARE back to normal. Welcome to Thailand!

Mental health issues at play here for sure. He needs help.

Looks like political strategy might have to come full circle: https://politicaldictionary.com/words/chicken-in-every-pot/#:~:text=“Chicken in every pot” was,of touch with economic reality.

Is your older brother letting you use his computer again? Shouldn't you be getting ready for school? https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/economy/price-indexes-and-inflation/consumer-price-index-australia/latest-release

Latest Aussie CPI data just in today. Up nearly 2% from last quarter. Now running at 8% P.A. The RBA needs to raise the cash rate a full percentage point at their next meeting in February. If they do not the AUD is toast.

Ok. Let's pin your quote. And see how things unfold. For the record my opinion is this. If Zelinksy (with the backing of Western arms) seeks to retake Crimea, Putin will launch tactical nukes aimed at Armiansk and Peredmistne. I pray that you are in fact correct.

This has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with policing or immigration. This is a political strategy to try and discredit the Chinese in Bangkok because of their close affiliation with Prayuth and his cronies. Scratch below the surface here and you will see Taksins fingerprints.

I already started a thread highlighting the rivers of gold immigration officials are going to get very soon as hordes of Russians start paying tea money to remain here on expired tourist visas. They will also be working illegally to try and support themselves. Even more opportunity for tea money. More than a decade ago when I lived in Phuket, the ED visa was the Russian prostitutes and illegal workers visa of choice. So much so that Phuket immigration clamped down and started requiring proof of attendance to classes and also implemented announced school inspections. I imagine the language schools are doing very brisk business already. What ever happened to McWalen....?

With Western intervention like this Zelinksy will push to retake Crimea. Putin will then launch a tactical nuke targeted at the neck of the pennisula to create a fire wall. Germany sending tanks is terrible news and another incremental step toward nuclear escalation.

More likely to catch these from the person that was preparing the food, not from the diners.

Things really are starting to get back to normal.

Learn to hold your breath for extended periods. Things are only going to get much much worse now that China is firing back up.

Never going to happen. Not in the lifetime of any of the members of this thread.

No issue whatsoever transferring the money into Thailand, entirely different story when you want to tranferr back out. US bank rates are currently higher than in Thailand. Why on earth don't you just leave the money in US CDs or T-bills?

Mules.

Apps are a disaster. I use a three screen desktop computer and do all my banking and trading on that. Can't even see well enough to use an app.

Legalised....Huh....will it also be put on the protected occupation list?
