My (Thai) partner is losing her hair. Can anything be done?
bunnydrops replied to giddyup's topic in Health and Medicine
My wife does this, and I have seen the new hair growth. She takes about 3/4 cup of ginger and chops it up really fine. Pounds it a bit. Heats it in the microwave until it is hot. Wraps it in a clean cloth. Then after washing her hair, she uses the wrapped ginger to massage her scalp for 5 minutes, reheating the ginger when it cools down. Leaves it on for 5 minutes and then washes it off. 3 to 4 days in a row. She said the first day the top of her head gets really hot, but the following days are not so bad. -
I have never been much for shots. My last flu shot was around 2010. But I did take the COVID shots. Being in my late 70's I have many friends that haven't been as lucky as I have with my health. One was in a senior home that would have prevented me from visiting if I hadn't had the COVID shots. Just this year I know of two people who came down with COVID (Both just after flying to the West Coast from the east [Ohio, Delaware]). Both had had their shots. Both had flu-like symptoms for about a week. Will I take another COVID shot? At this point, I do not know. Playing it by ear.

Car Number Plate letters and numbers faded
bunnydrops replied to skorts's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Maybe a loophole in the law. Not a crime to make them, but it is a crime to use them on a car. I have always wondered why people don't get pulled over for having their plates whited out so they can't be read by the traffic cameras, -
None really. We all get a bit of razzing here. All you need is a bowl, mix it all together, form patties and fry.

So that's cheap and lazy

For breakfast sausage. It is easy enough to make your own using ground pork. Many recipes are on the web.

Unsure why 90-day online notify rejected
bunnydrops replied to david_je's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Are you sure you didn't get the 90 day when you did your extension? Imm always puts in a 90 day receipt in my passport when I pick up the extension. -
I was always told to look at the girl's mother if you wanted to know what the future would bring.

I am with you on that one. If nothing else, Imm work have more than just your word about the problem and may be able to get a short extension to work out the problem.

Debit card scam
bunnydrops replied to Lacessit's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
I don't know if they have it in other countries, but some banks in the US will give you a one-time virtual card, or a card that can only be used with one location. The virtual card number is linked to your physical card. The "one-time" card is useful for once-in-a-while purchases. I have a different card number to pay True and another to pay the electric bill. The bank knows where to look for the problem if the card number gets snatched. EDIT I just wanted to add that each virtual card has a different number, security code, and expiration date. -
Swedish Man Arrested for Allegedly Working at a Bar in Karon
bunnydrops replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
I heard years ago that a guy got arrested for going behind the bar to change the CD at his wife's business. It was assumed that the business stepped on some competition's toes. Locally a guy ran a bar for years without a permit. The Police told him as long as he didn't serve Thais, they would let him do it. His place was a ways out of town. The police bought beer there:) -
I remember some years ago, a CEO started the company's first meeting with the people he hired by saying "If I have done my job right, I'm the dumbest person in this room". That is a sign of real intelligence.

You may have tried to do it online too soon.

Best way to attract Thai Myna birds to my garden?
bunnydrops replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
This time of year we have lots. At any one time, there are 6 or 7 on my gravel driveway. They are a bit skittish. Look at them wrong, and they are off. Unlike my favorite, the Zebra Doves which I almost step on every day. -

I shot my first gun when I was 6. My father was in the Shore Patrol. He would of course hold my hands, as his Navy issue was a bit heavy. We would shoot at man targets in the basement. He showed me how to disassemble, blue, and reassemble. Had my first rifle when I was 10. At that time I could walk downtown and buy bullets for it myself (needed a note from my mother to buy cigarettes for her). I find guns as a tool. Too many people now seem to think it is some sign of manhood. I don't hunt anymore, and I don't have a fox trying to get in the hen house anymore so I no longer need one. I have a friend who sleeps with one under his pillow. I just can't go there with that kind of paranoia. Once while hitchhiking, this guy picks us up. There were three of us so I sat in the back. The handgun that he had hidden under his seat had slid back onto the floor in front of me. I never said anything and left it there. I always wonder what went through his head when he found it.

To be clear. I keep the money on the Wise card in US dollars so I can get the 4.XX% interest. If I change some of the money to Baht, I lose the interest and I assume Wise at that point holds the Baht. Since I have never done it I don't know if the bank holding the dollars charges a fee when converting dollars on the card to Baht. Correct me if I am wrong here, but I have been told that when using a CC or debt from another country, if asked " do you want to pay in dollars or baht", always say dollars. You will get Visa/MC transfer rate. If you say baht, you will get the bank they are using's transfer rate which is usually a lot less.

Foreign couple condemned for sex antics on Phuket beach (video)
bunnydrops replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
I have encountered maybe a half dozen in the act. One time I rounded a log on a beach, I could have stepped on them. I excused myself, told them I was just passing through, and to continue on. Ah, youth, I remember it well. I used to say it wasn't Spring until you had sex in the open air:) -
