  1. In Pattaya Fascino still doesn't have it. I found a pharmacy in Jomtien that has 5 and 20 mg but not 10. They can order all you want. It's located on Jomtien 2nd road across from Rompho Market
  2. I have a kind of daily "budget" for out and delivery food which is more like a guideline than anything strict. It's more than doubled over the years. I don’t drink or eat Thai food much. So now I "budget" 500 baht if it's one out meal and 600 for two out meals. Not so rarely about 600 or 700 but then usually with delivery some leftovers to use for special cooking or to add to.a future delivery meal. Typically I'll do one out meal and hitting about 500 more often than not. Sometimes about 300, more rarely about 200 and 0 only a few times a month. Spending 1000 or more for one meal is for celebrations. Yesterday I had an expensive Chinese meal with Sichuan cumin lamb. I'll use the leftover lamb in a pasta with pesto dish that I cook. So as I said before my spending has been trending up but I feel it's totally worth it. I will probably up the "budget" for 2023.
  3. Yeah money psychology is a personal thing. For me value is much more important than getting the cheapest. I've noticed since I moved to Thailand that with food spending just a little bit more can often get you much better. On the other hand with Thai food the price is often about how fancy the venue is rather than the best flavor Wine is such a poor value here that I basically gave it up.
  4. Christmas day a good day to clean house. My sponges are verklempt in anticipation.
  5. Another lame excuse Musk will use to weasel out of his promise is only he can fix it. Sound familiar?
  6. Just like trump if he doesn't like the results it was rigged. What trolling buffoons they both are.
  7. I don't know the current Chinese food scene in CM. To me only eating local food makes sense if you're a tourist or on a tight budget. I can afford brocolli.
  8. I don't understand your complaint. The choices are zero to 85K plus Thar covers everyone well except people spending absurd amounts like 500k a month which I guess you could do if you hsd the best wines everyday.
  9. Where are you living in Thailand? There are multiple decent real Chinese food options in Pattaya. For me Thai is just one of the options here including Sichuan. Sometimes I'll go weeks without a Thai meal.
  10. It would be a folly to expect the Grifter in Chief to actually play fairly for anything.
  11. I don't know if he'll be rejected or not yet, but that's really the point. Nobody knows how DeSantis will actually play first in the primary IF he announces. There are so many historical stories like this of the heir apparent bombing once their candidacy moves from fantasy to reality. In other words, if there is someone to beat Trump for the nomination, it could easily be a number of other people.
  12. Argentina needed this. Did you know about La Abuela (granny) La La La La, the viral sensation?
  13. I started this because I'm realizing that I'm spending more than ever on such meals. While the food scene where I am (Pattaya area) isn't as great as before the pandemic, if you experiment enough the quality, variety, and value is quite excellent. If you can afford better than street food and cooking at home, I think the value is pretty incredible in the global context so it's kind of crazy not to partake liberally. Of course, it's understood that there are health reasons to limit outside food. You don't control the ingredients in outside food.
  14. Incredible match and the right team won. Yes football is boring as f sometimes but when it's incredibly exciting, you can't beat it.
  15. Guestimate of course. Includes street food of course. Includes drinks with meals but not bars. Just for you, one person. Prorate if you're paying for more people. Does not include groceries for cooking at home.
  16. The Fabelmans. Highly rated and deserving it. The semiautobiographical coming of age story of the legendary Steven Spielberg. Not for Ye people. Cowritten by Spielberg and top playwright (Angels in America) Tony Kushner. https://youtu.be/D1G2iLSzOe8
  17. I probably shouldn't share this, but the "secret" for retirement extensions is to show up at about 3:30 P.M. You likely will be sitting with an officer in 15 minutes max. Sometimes no wait at all.
