  1. Sometimes we use the powder shown in the OP a few weeks apart, it helps keep the smell down and the need for suctioning many months apart.  Also, our washing machine is outside and drains into the garden and not into the septic tanks.

  2. Lots of visa run shops on Soi Buakow, charging a lot less than 1stclassvisa.

    I don't need a visa, just a border run to reactivate my current visa in my passport. Do you know if they offer that service?

    Many Soi buakow shops will be glad just to provide transportation, stop in and ask their price.

    If I type my Thai address into Google maps, I get nothing.  The way home's are labeled here are not like in the West. 

    Just open Google maps, find your home and copy/draw the major intersections nearest your home and the additional directions to your home.  It's not rocket science.

    I carried a gun for 25 yrs there, and never needed,  Lived in crap areas, and ventured into even crappier areas.   Stop watching MSM.

     

    Did you ever feel the need to carry a gun, while in the USA ?   Violent crime is actually down, almost every year, with a few exceptions.   Same with the murder rate.

    So I went to the website you provided and searched "Number of active shooter incidents in the United States from 2000 to 2022"

    Do you want to take a guess which way that graph took a sharp turn?

    Gun hugger that I am, that statement is quite accurate.  (for the record, I'm anti-NRA)

     

    You are faced with a bad guy with a gun ... how would you stop he/she/it ?   Apparently all the police, laws and prison sentences aren't stopping bad people from getting firearms.

     

    A total ban on firearm sales & ownership in the USA wouldn't stop criminals from having firearms.  You can't stop drug trafficking, you can't stop human trafficking, so how are you going to stop the firearms from being available to criminals.

     

    Police rarely stop crime, and simply take a report after the fact.  You wake up in your house, and realize there is someone in your house with a gun ... now what ?

     

    Don't know about you, but I'd be grabbing my firearm.

    To the NRA's delight, the USA is past the point of no return.  It's so bad now everyday folks need to have guns cause the bad guys have guns, and bad guys will continue to break into homes and steal valuables (guns too), putting more guns on the street so more law-abiding citizens will need guns. It's a never ending cycle. 

    I'm from the USA, born & raised, but I feel 100% safer walking the streets of Thailand late at night than I would in any large city in the US.
