Bangkok Bank for expats
Explorator en Actione replied to unblocktheplanet's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, InvestmentsNot with SCB, curious though, why are you trying to open another account in Bangkok Bank when it appears you already have one with money in it? In twenty years I have never needed more than one account. ***despite the fact I have all my retirement funds in an account with them!

Medicare Plans to Begin Screwing Over Seniors
Read before you jump on something: I said MEDICAID - it's a different program: What Is Medicaid? Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that provides health coverage for people with low income, including many seniors. Eligibility and benefits vary by state, but generally include: Comprehensive coverage. Medicaid covers a wide range of services, including hospital and doctor visits, long-term care, and sometimes even additional benefits such as transportation and personal care services. Income-based eligibility. Unlike with Medicare, Medicaid eligibility is based on income and financial resources. Seniors with limited income and assets may qualify, and the program can assist with costs not covered by Medicare, such as long-term care. Dual eligibility. Some seniors qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, and this is known as dual eligibility. For these individuals, Medicaid can help cover costs that Medicare doesn't, such as certain copayments, premiums, and long-term care. There may be other benefits as well.

Anyone on daily Tadadafil (Cialis) to control blood pressure?
I have been taking 5mg a day fir past year, no issues, was not prescribed for ED but for prostate issues, has managed to fix both so win/win - long term low dose Cialis use is fine. I even take high blood pressure medicine, no averse effect, but as always, do not experiment, I was under doctors care and he checked me every week to see if any issues - none so far.

Americans seek escape for political reasons at record numbers
Well, ifm it’s what I think you mean, I don’t wish that on anybody, good, bad, or ugly. I just know everybody has their own style and ways of getting things done, we don't have to like it, or agree with it, just have to wait t out and see if it works. Some people are better working in background where the public never knows what they are doing, some are not so talented. Peace

Americans seek escape for political reasons at record numbers
You haven’t met me - I voted for him three times, won two out of three, not a bad ratio I’d say. Too bad he can’t run again in 2028, he’d win again, in spite of all the opposition.

Thailand’s Immigration Bureau Revokes 10,000 Visas
Cancelled 10K Visa’s or Permission to Stay stamps. So will there be 10,000 overstays when they show up to extend their Visa’s?? Can’t see how this will work out, anymore information on this?, Let’s say I have an extension to stay a year on my O visa, and they cancel it, I am not informed, I show up to extend it - will I be arrested?? Me thinks this will be an enormous 'cluster you know what’ for the local immigration offices.

Honestly - Ironing board ?
I have a small foldable table top ironing board, takes up no space in closet at all. Although like many, I usually buy wash & wear type shirts that don’t need ironing. 😃

Will The United States Invade Venezuela?
Seeing the USA just about built Venezuela into the Oil Industry powerhouse it is back in the sixties/seventies, I think the locals would welcome an invasion if there was any chance of returning it to its yesteryears. We also built the Military, trained them in Panama, Ft Bragg, Ft Benning etc etc so an invasion definately would not be a walk in the park. Caracas used to be Little Miami, you name the US fast food, or American store you would find it ob every corner, wasn’t until Chavez took over they started on the decline. When I arrived at airport as a tourist, Immigration officer asked me "how long I wanted to stay, I asked how long can I stay?, he asked ‘do you have US Dollars? I said Yes, and he smiled and gave me a one year multiple exit/entry stamp. Said Enjoy Venezuela, we have the mist beautiful women in the world here. He wasn’t lying.

Gender Rule Showdown: Legal Clash over Schools and Prisons
Well, I’ll agree to disagree - per Wiki: What Does Transvestite Mean? Definition: Transvestite refers to individuals who dress in clothing typically associated with a different gender, often for personal expression or entertainment. Key Characteristics: Not related to gender identity or sexual orientation. Transvestites typically identify with the gender they were assigned at birth. The term is less commonly used today, with cross-dresserbeing a more accepted alternative. Example: A man who enjoys wearing traditionally feminine attire, such as dresses or makeup, may identify as a transvestite or cross-dresser. Dont matter to me either way, just my observation. Changing the definition of a word or subject doesn’t mean its an accurate description.

Seatbelts
- Seatbelts
This should be shown to everyone you love as to why you insist they wear na seatbelt, by this shot, she is evidently the driver and thrown out of the car. What caused the accident is still a mystery.- People Are Confusing Reaction Icons
I guessed that, but see it used by ‘seemingly’ the same person over and over again, guess we have to see the good, bad and ugly when we are on public forums. I still liked the ‘confused’ emoji, self explanatory.- People Are Confusing Reaction Icons
Guess I am easily confused - what does the ‘tumbs down’ actually mean a. Subject is atrocious b. Posters answer is sad or unwelcome c. or 'thumbs down’ poster disagreeing with poster/answerer’s comments I liked the ’sad’ icon, was self explanatory - guess that was replaced with a broken heart?? - Seatbelts
