  1. Yeah just imagine what the "netizens" would have done with a f-rang caught red meat handed with the steaks.
  2. Not sure about karma but there is cultural sense of guilt that I have. I think I wouldn't have enjoyed the steaks and I would have been paranoid about cooking smells, perhaps the police would come and smell it, ha ha. This reminds me of occasions of guilt free unearned gains. Walking in a parking lot with a friend in the U.S. he (sadly not me) spotted a flippin' 100 dollar bill on the ground! Now small change you see all the time, perhaps an occasional dollar, but 100? What are the odds?
  3. Like I said I didn't even think about keeping it until after I decided to and gave it back. But if I was like you and didn't check my order I think I would have called them (I have their number because they call first) later to report the issue. Yeah I always check the order because sometimes there is something missing. I guess more rare for there to be a big bonus! An issue I do have is with avocados. I always ask them to bring firm unripe ones. They usually do but sometimes they bring rotten ones. Avocados are not cheap but I've never even mentioned it when that happens. I consider that kind of the cost of doing business with avocados which even when you buy firm quite often never properly ripen.
  4. Yeah you're probably right but maybe someone got in trouble because I didn't take it, ha ha.
  5. OK, a bit of a funny situation. I had a grocery delivery. It came and the perishable goods were given in a closed bag. My routine is to tell the delivery guys to wait a minute while I inspect the order and close the door. So I open the bag part and there is an extra item I didn't order. A huge portion of premium imported beef steaks. I never order steaks and without a thought, I double check that I didn't order it by accident and then proceeded to open the door and hand over the mistake (or missed - steak if you please). Well the delivery guys were truly flabbergasted. They got very agitated and didn't seem to know what to do. They insisted that I inspect the printed receipt that they bring. which I did. The total would have been triple my total if I had ordered it. So they reluctantly took it back, looking like they still had no idea how it got there in the first place or who it actually should be delivered to, if anyone, then I paid, and bye bye. So why this story? Why didn't I just keep the steaks? I'm not vegetarian after all. Suppose they later deduced that I was primary suspect based on their delivery history and which customers got closed bags? Well so what? They could prove it how? Would you have kept the steaks assuming you realized you could get away with it? Would your first thought be automatically I'm handing it back OR thinking about or even keeping it? The x factor was that being honest became a bit of an annoying hassle for me as they didn't seem to want it back. Also and of course I can't really read the delivery guy's minds I kind of got the feeling that rather than being grateful and respecting me for being honest and giving it back, that they rather considered me a fool for not keeping it. Like if it was them, they would have kept it, so what kind of freak is this farang?
  6. Good luck Donald. You're gonna need it.
  7. Bull. You don't give up your citizenship rights including voting by moving abroad.
  8. Florida is now in play because ABORTION policy is on the ballot. Why are you against American expats being allowed to vote?
  9. Beats the favorite of Putin poodles -- Russia Today.

    Also recommend the steak in their super burrito.
  11. I know the story. He got lucky. It could have ruined his career and if it had, we wouldn't know his name. But it didn't and bad as it sounds drunken driving is a crime that probably the vast majorty of adults have been guilty of as of course most get away with it. Not condoning it but it makes Coach Daddy even more humanly relatable to the masses. Unlike that phony puppet of billlionaires Project 2025 Vance weirdo who isn't even relatable to his DOG. Nice try. No cigar. Bring on Harris Walz!

  13. Yeah I've been paying Part B and have been considering dropping it. The two reasons not to drop it if you think there is any chance you're moving back are the penalties and the enrollment period gap issue. I'm less concerned about the penalties but when you add the gap issue I'm more inclined to keep it.
  14. Yeah the reason the couch thing sticks to him is because it kind of fits him even though yes it's just a funny meme. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

  16. Smart move to cover up that "please punch me" face with a beard.
  17. As the most anti-Ukraine and most pro Russia U.S.senator (for his five minute career there) somehow I'm not surprised at your defense of him.
  18. Oh Geez, I did recently read about needing to wait until July but I don't have the source now so not sure, perhaps you're right. In any case, it's a similar big problem if you miss the three month enrollment period. Perhaps you flee back home in April, in that case you'd have to wait to enroll until January of the next year, effective in February rather than July if you're correct. Still very bad. Of course a way to avoid this timing problem is if you're PLANNING a move rather than making a move based on an emergency. In that case you can enroll in Part B while living abroad during the SEP and have it ready for when you arrive.
  19. He's not even American. Florida might matter. Check the news.
