I am not sure if it is always the best to send a youth to Crime U. to learn from the pros. As the old saying goes. A good horse is one that reacts to the shadow of the whip.

I remember reading once where I guy sold his new Cadillac for $50 because in the divorce settlement it had to be sold and she get half the money.

Here in Issan this is how I have seen it addressed when it has to do with children. The police bring the families together, blame is established, apologizes are given, the victim's family makes a request for compensation, If it can't be negotiated and it is a criminal offense, the guilt is jailed. The police here do not like to send young people to jail.

A great place for an acid trip,other than the forensic museum https://www.awaygowe.com/sala-keoku-the-other-buddha-park/.

Being in construction in the states, you can almost feel the people who have you out just to get ideas on how to do it with no intention of having you do the work. To run up a bid on a custom house would take around 30hrs. One time I will never forget, we ran a bid on a custom home. There were 3 others bidding. 3 of us came in within $10,000, ours the lowest at around $320,000. The guy that got the job bid $260,000. The rest of us scratched our heads. It turned out that the guy was giving a completely different set of plans with lower specs.

There is no edge. You pass though barrier that brings you to the other side of the flat earth. That is why if you keep going east you will return to where you started????

I see how that could really backfire. He who laughs last laughs best.

Talking to Thai's about the price of food is more exciting than talking to the local farangs in my area. Most are in "group think", their news from the same source. But will get into a lively conversation about their golf swing????

Born poor, lived in a southern "Shotgun", no indoor plumbing, Grandfather would hunt rabbits for dinner. Been homeless, worked washing dishes, cannery, commercial fishing, Boeing, Crisis clinic. Started my own company, building log cabins, homes, doctor/ dentist offices, building custom cabinets. Never a "go getter" hit the Mexican beaches every winter for two months. Now 76, still work 6 months out of the year doing remodel work. still have my legs, so still do some work on the roof. I think this will be my last year, First and only marriage at 64. I loved my life.

I'm in the sticks, Almost 700 a cube delivered.

I went for years with the same 420K that was never touched. Never had a problem. Now my Wise transfers go into that account and I transfer all but the 420K out to another account when it arrives. Although it is not a requirement, I think they want to know how you get money to live, and checking to see if you are working here without a permit.

In 14 years I have never had to bring proof the 400K was still in the bank when picking up the extension stamp (Korat). But I believe that it is recommend to keep it for the month in case the extension was rejected and you need to re-apply.

First goal-- figure out how to get all the money I need for the rest of my goals.

I think it could be a good idea, If you can speak Thai, I would go and ask some of the local drivers what they think. I am sure many would not like any new competition. Maybe depending on where you live, you could offer your service on ads at hotels frequented by tourist on call basis. Pin point your market and be less of a threat then you would be driving around looking for rides.

They all got smart and left.

Your mother never asked any questions?

What? Was it a jewelry store?

I first read it wrong and thought someone had put up a poster of a AC unit. Had a great laugh.

I use one similar, Not that fast but the range is about right.

Years ago they used to have contests to see how far you could get your wifi to reach. I think someone got 2 miles directional using aluminum foil reflectors ( think James Web in reverse)

glyphosate will. Painted on. May have put on a couple of times. Done it many times on stumps up to 8"

I believe most of the married farang men that I know are married to bar girls. Some of the girls are some of the nicest, kind and giving girls. I would have married them if I had met them outside the bar scene. I, truth be told, have never been with a bar girl, don't really like bar "atmosphere", don't drink much. But I know many get into that work to find a Farang husband. Some here who's husbands have died and left them with a nice house and money return to the bars to find another. We tend to judge them by our Judio-christian upbring. Thai women see the world differently. A good book to read "Thai Fever". https://www.amazon.com/Thailand-Fever-English-Chris-Pirazzi/dp/1887521488

I never liked that BigC. Cheaper at Makco, and (when they were there) Krang Plaza. I still go to Makco when in Korat but since they opened a big Hokkey in Phimai I don't have a need to go into the city. I think there is so much competition now with smaller stores the old brick and mortars are having troubles.

I can think of 4. Knock on wood, throwing salt over your shoulder, the number 13, breaking a mirror. But never knew anyone that believed any of them. My grandmother came from the old US south, and I am sure she had some-- but I don't remember any of them.
