Looks like lawyer time. None of the underlings, of both countries, have any idea of what to do.

I've owned Oppo's in the past. They make good phones. I still use one as a second, must be 7 years old now. Still will hold 70% charge.

I had heard many years ago that Vietnamese soldiers would laugh when a fellow soldier would step on a landmine. Some kind of release of tension?

My guess is he may have saved his daughter without knowing it. He may have sat up with his feet on the ground (many of those Thai houses still had dirt floors) becoming the nearest contact between that metal roof and the ground.

Every action has an equal opposite reaction. That being said, can any thought you are destined to have be original?

Ah, but the Tibet girls in Toronto

I don't know if any of this will help.

Self is the center of the Known Universe.

No problem with death. It's the dying part I don't care much about

I agree "good retirement planning" but they are the ones I see complaining the most about having to pay more to the parks which is still less than a 1/3rd of what they pay back home. Or it is costing them 600 bht more to maintain their pool that they never would have had, and wondering why things can't be more like it is back home. And since you asked, I live in a 1100 sqf house that I built myself and drive a compact.

Most here are. I see farangs in their new big walled-in two-story houses that they paid less than they could buy a cheap tract house in the States, strutting around like a rooster on dung hill.

Live rural, 3km from town, house paid for, car paid for, eat at home. My monthly electric bill is less than 800 baht, water 60. I COULD live on less than 20000, but I don't care to.

And what else would you want from the site?

It does depend on location. Unless there is a problem, the wife doesn't have to be there when picking up the extension. Anyway I have never had her with me when I pick it up in Korat.

There was a guy around where I live that looked very much like Antonio Banderas. He married one, "she" was beautiful. When I first met her, it took me 15 minutes before realizing she was a he.

To add to the fun, tell them at 75, they have about a 70% chance to make it one more year. At 80 50%. No wait save it for the party.

My wife cuts up ginger in small pieces, wraps in cloth, heats for a second or two in the microwave.and massages her scalp for about 5 minutes, once a week or more. Swears by it!

You will find another way to beat it????

Many years ago, I brought my VW in to have the clutch adjusted at a dealership in Seattle. I usually did it myself since it was so easy. There is a large wingnut that you turn to tighten but it was frozen and I couldn't get it to turn so I brought it in. They came to me and told me I needed a new clutch. I started to drive it home and the thing could hardly move. I crawled under the car and saw they had turned the nut out, I turned it back in and the clutch was fine. I went in and with other customers there told them exactly what they did and they were crooks and left.

You didn't notice the scratches before you gave it to the new mechanic. There is the chance the new mech did the damage. Wrong cover put on at the dealership.

Another "what if". If you are on (US) SS and a pension, but don't make enough to pay taxes after your standard deduction, can Thailand tax the full amount made? To be clearer, you have to make over $27,700 if married before you are taxed on any amount above that. Can Thailand tax you on the $27700?

Maybe, but the price for extras like use of overhead compartment, seat-belts, and bathroom use will go way up.

I'm 76. No one else in my family made to over 70. brother and sister included. I still do construction work and work on roofs. You can always be one of the lucky ones if you take care of yourself.

negotiation, that is the name of the game at most businesses other than the big box stores. If you have to ask the price get a Thai to ask, they are used to it. My Thai wife is not so good at it, her sister is a master. Getting a price in public? Not done, different price for different people depending on how well you negotiate, if they need the work that day, or if they really don't want to do it for you in particular.

Thats the best you can do? You should have been here when I first posted it.????
