  1. I heard this on a construction site. Two guys were having an argument, when one of the guys pulled the end from the retractable measuring tape on his belt and and put it up to the other guy's face, looked down to see what the measurement was, he said " Do you realize you are only 40 inches from being a Cxxx.Sxxxxx?"
  2. I think that is what I got, 12 years, and still no leaks. The ones we got are pretty large, with only one downspout for 10 meters, never overflowed, but will often fill a 3000-liter tank in a day.
  3. I think it is more like "You can't talk to a farang about anything, because they are close-minded, and think they already know everything"
  4. I guess you have never left your wallet at home. One of my friends (family owned the business that made children's coats) Had a favorite saying when it can to money "Is there anything I can say that will help."
  5. Tis true. I have a couple of millionaire friends. They would be the last people I would ask for a couple of bucks for a coffee.
  6. Looks like lawyer time. None of the underlings, of both countries, have any idea of what to do.
  7. 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.
  8. 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?
  9. 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.
  10. Every action has an equal opposite reaction. That being said, can any thought you are destined to have be original?
  11. I don't know if any of this will help.

  12. Self is the center of the Known Universe.
  13. No problem with death. It's the dying part I don't care much about
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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!
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
