Charlie Kirk Tragically Killed in Utah Event Shooting
Yes I saw that. Thanks for reminding me. The judge wasn't even a lawyer. Let the psycho go on a "Written promise" to return for a court date. Then he kills this "White girl". I'm a white guy. That would never happen to me. =========== I got a ticket (not arrested) from a game warden once...I had shot a doe (female deer) on private property. It was the one day out of the year called "doe day". I had hunting license & had no idea it was "Doe Day", so I HAULED ASS thru the Florida swamps....hunting on on Grandma Doris' land. Anyhow Florida WIldlife Commission (FWC =Game Wardens = State officers) chased me. I ran thru the jungle/swamps of Florida. I KNEW them woods & navigated by the sun & my wristwatch. I made 5 miles to a friends house...they had a helicopter hunting me....Only thing I had done wrong was to run away....I was young & STUPID! I made it to a friend's house & got a ride to my place 30 miles away. Then the phone rang. Grandma Doris had pimped me out! I had to meet the game warden & the park Ranger at a public place. Long story short I was dragging the doe across State property when the State Park Ranger saw me. 1- Possession of a firearm on a State Wildlife Refuge. 2- Resisting or opposing arrest without violence. I made my court date, and I could not make this up...the Judge's name was LAW. Big honking placard that said "The Honorable Judge Law". He issued me a $90 ticket on each count & said "NEXT CASE!" I scurried away as fast as I could (before he changed his mind). Have not broken any laws since then. =============== My older brother had a divorce hearing & she was seeing some other guy. Raymentioned to her he'd like to beat the other guy's A^^. She ran in screaming to the judge about what he'd said. He got 30 days. ========= My point is - RESPECT the court.....BE VERY, VERY AFRAID of the court. Arrested 14 times? The guy had ZERO respect for the law & I hope he lives in an orange jumpsuit from now on.

Thaksin's Jail Time: How Long Will He Really Serve?
Bu WAHHH. I cannot keep up with my brother's birthdays much less Thaksin's....The guy is pushing 80...I think I said that. My point was that I wish the King would pardon him, much liked Ford pardoned Nixon. Just put all the drama of the past in the rearview mirror. Heaven knows they have TONS of corruption to face going forward.

Charlie Kirk Tragically Killed in Utah Event Shooting
The guy had a couple lead pipes taped to a 2X4...He had a caveman musket. He killed who he wanted to kill though. It's not the waepon, it is the Psycho pulling the trigger. How about the A****hole that stabbed the tiny Ukranian girl....just wanted to kill a "White Girl" That little girl reminds me of my daughter way too much. Racist PIG, arrested 14 TIMES. Liberal Democrats kept releasing him. I got a DUI in 1990. I had neither a pot to piss in nor a window to thow it out of = I violated my probation. I wound up doing 30 days in jail.......I found a flipping JOB after that. Neither of my parents graduated high school.....I think Dad made it to 6th grade & Mom 5th grade. Mom would get a switch & BEAT the TAR out of me 2 -3 times a week. Dad was a womanizer to 'enth degree. I only got arrested that one time though. I learned RESPECT for the LAW. I had a very bad upbringing, but I never got arrested 14 times & then stab some young lady for no reason. It is a 1,000% FAILURE of Democrat/Liberal policies.

Charlie Kirk Tragically Killed in Utah Event Shooting
Charlie Kirk was 31 years old. Married 4 years & had 2 very young children. He NEVER spewed out a word of hateful speech. He simply engaged young people in friendly debates. He was a SUPER SMART guy, and started TurningPointUSA when he was 18. I am 58 and of the Rush Limbaugh age...I was listening to Rush in 1990. Charrlie's mission was to just ask questions of college kids, and have conversations, that left them thinking. That was his crime against the L.EFTists. He was a PATRIOT, a SUPER SMART guy, and I HATE the hatred. I am Conservative/Republican....As Ben Franklin once said. We have a Republic....if we can keep it. Churchill said Democracy was the worst kind of government, but it's the best we've come up with so far. ============= Go be whatever you want to be in the USA. Trans/Sissy dude? Upt2U....PEACEFULLY protest? No problem. I think Charlie named his organization aptly. Turning Point USA. I am so sorry he lost his life in the process. We are EXTRAORDINARILY PISSED OFF right now. We (the Conservatives/Republicans) will do it legally and without political violence....until the blue-hairs attack us again.

Thailand's Afternoon Booze Ban Lifted: Restaurants Rejoice
I moved to Thailand 24 years ago. This was NOT in effect. 2003 or so, they had a big "CRACDOWN" on minors buying beer as soon as school was let loose.......Nevermind checking ID cards. Just ban booze sales right after school. Brilliant! I happen to be at Tesco or Big C at 3:00 PM & want to grab a case of beer for the week ahead...too bad, so sad. Mai Dai. ============ Funny story, my cousin bought a 6 - pack when he was 18 in Florida (drinking age is 21 in Florida). The cops were all undercover, watching the place. He said there were 5 cop cars all over him as he walked out. Poor guy got cuffed & stuffed, as did the store owner.

Brit mum jailed for overstay returns to UK without son
Where did she get the Botox shots for her lips? She looks like she should be climbing out of a clown car at a circus! I wish the best for the innocent child. Hoping/guessing that "Going into care" is a British term for foster home? Poor Baby....... ============== My neighbor's STUPID wife had picked up my daughter once from school along with her kid.....Just dumped my daughter in the front yard. She was 6. I was upstairs & hear this whining, crying kid. It was my daughter, thinking she was all alone. The neighbor was NOT supposed to collect my baby from school, and if she DID, then bang on my door to let me know the kid was there when she had dumped my daughter in my front yard! She was 6 years old...get out. I was LIVID with RAGE! I never saw a happier 6 year old when I found her crying in the front yard. DADDY!!!!!.... I didn't know you were here Baby! Are you hungry? Daddy is here. Daddy will feed you and love you and play with you. NOTHING make my heart break, and at the same time sends me into a RAGE, worse than Morons that do not know how to take care of little kids. GOD, when she was that age, she would say, "Daddy, do you want tp play?" How could I say no? Such a sweet kid, that is now 19 years old, almost 20. I look forward to grandsons & grandaughters. I dearly love my family. ============== Cannot believe this Botox Queen

Satellite-to-Phone Service Set to Launch in Thailand by 2026
Buddy there was ZERO signal for ANYTHING in in Prasat 20 years ago. They had to pipe in sunshine. Just joking. My daughter was able to check in on Grandpa ther a few weeks ago. The Army had moved him to Surin City....he lives right on the border, but that's another story. Main jist is they have mobile phones & Whatsapp works between Florida and Surin. Sidenote: My daughter HATES the Cambodians because they said they invented som tam. Ding-bat.....just like her Mommy. They'll come up for some crazy reasons for war. I'm retired Army. 4 combat zones. I HATE war! I'm no SF Rambo guy, just did some time in GREEN. Went to contracting with the US Army. Spent a lot of time in Asia. War SUCKS. I HATE WAR! This is me ----Just a humble guy....a Florida Man. I have done 99% of what is in this video.

I can call anybody from the USA with Whatsapp. They can call me as well. Video calls. For free. What's next? Teleportation? What is new here? Reminds me of my mother. That INNER Net is Evil! I guess that's the crowd they are after = people that have no clue. (Sidenote - been reading a LOT of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle lately, & he spelled clue, CLEW) 1890's LIMEY! GREAT stories!! Sherlock Holmes rocks! Sorry to get off topic. @The Moderating Team is there a book club/section here?

Funniest thing you ever saw your kid do?
She's 19, almost 20, in college now. 5 feet 0 inches tall & weighs 100 lbs. Speaks perfect English & Thai. Studied Japanese in high school & is studying French now. She's 1 inch taller and 1 lb heavier than Mommy. Tells me "Daddy! I want to be taller and gain some weight" =========== She always ate good. I'm just 5' 10" & 170 lbs = I am no giant. I always wished she could stay 4 years old forever. I did tell her mother to stop feeding her (as a joke). I just wanted this SUPER CUTE baby girl from now on! I'll have a Granddaghtr soon I am sure. She is a knockout...A stunner. So what's your cute kid story?

Funniest thing you ever saw your kid do?
My little baby would get her a small saucer & put a BIG blob of ketchup on it. I guess she was 4 or 5. She'd lick the ketchup. She'd have it on her nose. It would take her an hour....just a small lick here & there. Reminded me of trying to eat a giant pickle....just savoring it. I'd wash her face & watch cartoons with her. She fell asleep in the clothes basket full of clean clothes next to me one time at 2:00 PM. I was on the couch, quite THOROUGHLY enjoying spending time with her. I look over & POOF!! She was out like a light....sleeping in a clothes basket. I dearly love my BABY!

Air Fryer
Oh yeah. Now you are cheating! A medium potato in a microwave doesn't take long to cook. Pierce it with a fork 8 times & wrap it in a wet paper towel....3 minutes & flip it & another 4 -5 minutes = you have a tasty potato. Sour cream & butter & a butter-fried porkchop. Oh yeah. Just different ways to cook the same things. I mainly use mine for BACON! It just cooks it so clean & I get the bacon oil as desert to cook eggs with. Slap full of bacon, 350F at 15 minutes & I make coffee. Cook my eggs in some bacon grease. Some boiled grits (which is ground corn). BIG glass of milk & you are ready to take on Superman....after the 2nd cup of coffee and a cigarette or two 🙂

That's roughly the going price in the USA. 1500 THB is $47 USD. Roughly $50 - $60 USD. I have WORN OUT/broken a couple, mainly due to jamming whole chickens in them that didn't quite fit.

Air Fryer
About the same time, depending on potatoe size....roughly 45 minutes.. I does preheat a lot quicker than a conventional oven though. 3 minutes & it's at 450F. There are precious few conventional ovens in Thailand in houses I have rented,so there's that as well. My mother & father-in-laws would cook off a grill on top of a clay pot when I met them. GREAT food, just not a lot of oven/baking action, as they only oven they knew was the one out on the back 40 acres that was making the charcoal out of mango trees. I bet that would be some tasty cornbread if I could keep the dirt out of it. Mango tree smoked cornbread indeed. I'd eat the dirt on it. Great fiber I suppose. Gotta have the stomach of an ostrich & be able to digest broken glass & in Thailand. Eat some crickets & silkworms. Try to learn the language. It builds character 🙂

Air Fryer
Correct. Just need temperature & time. I have cooked steaks, pork chops, whole chickens, chicken quarters. Irish potatoes. It makes a mean sweet potato. STAY AWAY from the ones with dome lids. They work but are a PAIN in the neck.. You want one with a slide-out drawer. Loads & Loads of youtube recipes out there. I love it when my daughter says "This is yummy Daddy"

Air Fryer
Short answer is - Yes & NO. I take mine into the back yard. Let it soak for an hour or two in soapy water. Then scrub it with an abrasive sponge. Use the water hose. Keeps the mess out of the kitchen. Good news is that it's pretty much sealed, so, depending on how much you use it, you can get by with a good scrubbing once or twice a week. It's kind of self cauterizing if used every day.

Cannot argue with you. I grew up out cast iron. Thing is, with an air fryer there's no standing over it.Just toss it in there & forget about it till it beeps. All the juicy grease can be conveniently save as well. Now a Dutch Oven (cast iron as well) DEARLY needs some of that bacon grease to not only season a new one (if it's new), but adds a lot of flavor to your black-eye peas or lima beans on a Sunday afternoon......boil some ham hocks, neck bones, even regular ribs. for about 2 hours. Now. this was Dad's recipe. He was born 1932 in Florida & didn't much like Mom's yammering preachers. He'd stay home & cook for us. His favorite was fatty ham hocks with blackeyed peas. Lima beans were MIGHTY GOOD TOO! Here's Dad's EXACT words. Soak them peas or beans overnight. Next boil the <deleted> out of them hamhocks on a high boil for a couple hours. Drain & rinse them peas & add them to it. Turn the fire way down low (he had a gas stove), & just simmer them peas for another 2 hours. Gotta have cornbread too! Fresh chopped white onion & it was HOG HEAVEN on many a Sunday after church! Cornbread is SIMPLE. Oven at 450 F. 2 cups of self rising cornmeal. 2 cups of self risibg flour, two sablespoons of sugar. Two eggs, and two tablespoons of bacon grease. Mix, and mix, and mix the dry ingredients first, then stir in the wet stuff. Usually mik or you can use water or beer to make it pourable into a greased pan. 30-35 minutes later just pure GOLDEN bread. Slice it, crumble it & pour them peas & ham chunks all over it, fresh out of a cast iron pot. Jalapenos, green onions -----hot white onions are my favorite side vegetables. Gotta make sure your peas/beans have lots of water/juice. My Grandmother (born 1906) called it "Pea liquor". Give me some more pea liquor! ------------That cornbread recipe work just as good if you cut in half. It works well in a BKK apartment with a toaster oven That's some DOWN-HOME Florida groceries! I made it for my wife in 2001. She ate 2 HUGE plates of it. Fair warning....the cornbread does expand. She's 99 lbs & was laying on the couch & could not move for a few hours.. I'm 170 lbs and I could barely move. Good Florida food.- Air Fryer
I would say that looks pretty tasty....Perhaps a bit undercooked for me. Back in the days of the Sylvester Stallone "Rocky" movies he was eating raw eggs & my cousin & I both tried a raw egg . Not sure if you've ever been around an egg farm, but there was one near us & It STANK! I don't know about my cousin but the raw egg tasted EXACTLY like the chicken farm smelled. It was nigh on a year before I could eat a cooked egg. ================== Sidenote ------I was working with Thai guys the last couple years I spent in Bangkok. I went 9 months before I could bring myself to touch rice after I got back to the USA. I LOVE rice. Just had, had it up to my ears with it I guess? ============= Sidenote #2 In Kuwait & had my wife & a few of her Thai friends cooking GOD-KNOWS-WHAT kind of stinkiy fish I my villa. Pretty big house. I could smell it out in the street. I took 2 steps in & 14 steps back to my truck & bought 4 cans of Potpouri Air Freshener. I came back in like Wyat Earpr or Clint Eastwood with a can blazing ing in each hand. It was John Wick before John Wick was invented. I burned thru the first 2 cans & dropped them out the kitchen floor (just to make a show) & grabbed the next two cans out of my coveralls and emptied them. Gotta love your Thai wife. Gotta say "Damn! Are you trying to kill me girl!????" Fun times.- Air Fryer
You can most assuredly cook potatoes in an air fryer. Whole or sliced (chipped). It's just a really hot heat coil that blasts super hot air onto the food , and cooks it. I dearly love mine for bacon, as all the bacon fat winds up in the bottom of the pan, and is easily poured into a jar, so I can use it for cooking eggs or as an addittion to anything than needs some bacon flavor.- Air Fryer
Front loading washing machine....I must disagree. When my pregnant wife stuffed my International Driving License in the front loading washing machine & i could not try to save it from a watery death, and I needed it for work 8,000 miles from home, I just ripped the front door off. Glass & soapy water everywhere. Not good. It made her cry. BAD, BAD front loading washing machines!- Air Fryer

BACON! Best device in the world for cooking BACON! My daughter is a huge fan of BACON! It was one of the first English words she ever knew. Mommy I want BACON! We were in Kuwait I could not always get bacon. I'd steer clear of the 450 baht type. You'll want to splurge $50 - $60 USD for a decent one. I had never heard of an air fryer till 5 or 6 years ago. Load that thing with raw bacon & 15 minutes at 350 degrees Farenheit....it'll be pretty close to perfect, unless you are British & just wave your bacon in the general direction of a candle & say it's cooked. GOOD GOD it's tough to find crispy Southern American style bacon outside the USA. =================== Grab you a small chicken....you might be British I don't know, but SEASON that puppy with loads of garlic powder, salt & black pepper. There's loads of Youtube videos on air fryers. replete with recipes.... I must agree with you, they are "fairly new". ====================== I saw a Johny Carson show years ago.............now, this is a DIG at all my British friends. I had been on a Hash House Harriers run from Abu Dhabi to Al Ain in the UAE. We did it in trucks & camped in the desert & & grilled in the dirt. Just myself from Florida & a a guy (Jeff) from Colorado. Very fun! We would up in Al Ain & it was a British guy that has LOADS of food for everybody & it tasted like chewing cardboard 🙂. Of course we were hungry & just ATE whatever, but it tasted like cardboard. Zero Salt, zero pepper, zero garlic. It was was some late night comedey show.....It was probably David Letterman, & he had a British guest, talking about a British Expidition to find the Northwest passage to China & India. Letterman: "So you British did all this for spices right" Guest "Oh yes of course!" Letterman: "So why don't you put any on on your food?" 1999 or so & all I could think about were bland sausages in Al Ain. It made me laugh! I love all my British friends! Just a funny story from an old man here! I love everybody! Of- Thailand Tightens Mobile Banking to Curb Scams
I was born in Orlando, Florida & I will admit that I have a strong Southern USA accent. The typo in the headline reminded mo of this. I was in Sydney, & we theoretically speak the same same language. It was 2000, prior to 9/11 & mobile phones were in their infancy. A security guard, in his lovely Australin accent was asking me if I had a mobile phone. .Manila to Sydney to Darwin flight. "Ooh, Oou ave a obile???" I apologized repeatedly.....I DO NOT UNDERSTAND you my friend? I have ZERO idea what you are trying to say???? We had a great time. He was asking "Do you have a mobile phone?" I could speak Spanish & Thai , some Arabic & Hindi by then, & had NO IDEA what this guy was saying. I love my Aussie friends.
