Some of my friends [mostly Thai] have Covid NON of them have visited a Hospital just used a home tester + all have been vaccinated and boosters ... does not appear the vaccine work as some have had Covid 2 or 3 times before + after the Vaccine As for Masks I always put on then going out, never stopped wearing just automatic after so many years.. I cannot have Vaccines, so try to protect myself best I can. Last visit to Makro appeared all the Staff + me had masks, last night visited Makro again there were a good many shoppers with masks on.

My 13 year old Dell Monitor had 3 USB ports, present Acer Monitor has 4, both were/are 32" Both my old TV and present one Panasonic have USB ports All fine for sound bars and webcam NO idea about movies on a USB would they play guess format saved in ? is there a built in software [a media player].. TV most newish ones have a built media player Most monitors don't have the ability to play video files from a USB

can not live without a Freezer here, have a large chest Freezer for many years So things like cheese, look at the sell by date and try to get to Makro 2 days before, 2kg = 50% discount, always cut it up bag and freeze = have cheese for a year [OK is a bit crumbly] I do not use butter very often, do the same cut it to fit the butter dish put in bags and freeze last over 1 year a few days ago Marko had Yellow tag mini Croissants 29 baht per bag, bought all 10 bags they had = in freezer

Mostly only shop at Makro Yellow tags are a great deal, most all go in the Freezer for a later date Last visit Toshiba Gold Coffee 200 gram jar 259 baht - on the end of the racks was a promotion = in a Christmas Box pack 2 x 200 gram Jars + a Christmas glass total 247 baht per box !! Keep your eyes open there are some great deals about

No idea myself Told go to India is less the halve the price, - 2nd option is Vietnam as cheaper than Thailand

As we are in Thailand Thai men can't grow beards like we can. Western genes are more conducive to growing beards. Thai guys would if they could, many only shave 1 or 2 times a month to remove the odd whiskers or light fluff

is it worth doing? Up to you, I am 3 years younger and for me decided it is not worth it.. Now have no top teeth left, the 1 tooth + 4 crowns and a bridge fell out, Dentist say only 2 options, Implants 200k for just top teeth or plastic plate 8,000 baht + 3 x pin removals + 1 x root @ 280 baht each. [Dentist advise remove 1 by 1 let heal before next removal] Funny not really a problem or getting used to it just cut everything much smaller 😀 so far had the broken root removed [took 2 months for that to heal] so will get around to getting the pins out sometime

No problem with the Mangoes I buy, buy from the Farm 5 mins down the road, have done for many years yesterday 20 baht per kg Always buy green = leave a couple out to get ripe the rest goes in the fridge just take out a few days before eating .. eat 1 = take another out to ripen -- take last one out of fridge = buy another 2 kg

Alaska mountain man ?? To me Matt Rainey [TV Star] look beard would fit

Looks a lot better with a beard

2 old men [in there 80's] in the Village are covered in Tattoos very old with black ink + every faded, moved here to the Village 21 years ago, they were old and faded then. Don't see the point to them so never had any, somehow always related tattoos as people that had been in Prison, these days appear all sexes have them - still don't see the point

Happens in many places not just here classed as - Midday sun exposure positively affects mental health

N O Is a Goatee and Tash, + shortish + washed every day + only need Trim + shave the rest of my face on day 4 or 5 - makes live simple Grew it in my early 20s to hide a large birthmark on my chin

Had mine 50 odd years

Looks like next visit to a Town will have to buy another USB or a SD Card

did not get the error message with the very old USB stick, only built the PC a couple of months ago mostly with all new parts Only the USB stick has not worked very good for years as must hold it in then works = No good for my TV Box

+ exchange rates when I came the 1st few years was between 74 and 76 THB to a £ So monthly money down + Thai prices up some item more than doubled

So far no luck Checked and again reformate in Fats 32 - Quick Then did again unclicking the Quick, took longer then as the progress bar got to the end a Pop Up said error,,, tried again 5 x with always the error message + the USB stick still not shown on the Android Box This was on the NEW USB stick bought from JIB, bought 2 sticks the other one I loaded with MP3 files and and works fine in the car will try reformatting the very old USB Stick and see if that works

Thank will try formatting again later and see what happens

Any help, getting old cannot remember or work out how.. Need more storage so thought easy use a USB, tried 2 that I already have + bought a brand new one, followed instructions formatted the drive on my PC and plugged into the TV Box, but cannot find the USB USB port on Box works [plugged in a USB light + a USB Fan both work], so why can I not find the USB Storage stick, what am I doing wrong ?? as a note all 3 USB sticks work on my PC so nothing wrong with them - have a Bluetooth keyboard dongle on the TV Box that works, tried the USB Stick in that port = nothing ?

I got an SMS from DWP yesterday saying "We have processed your Life Certificate. You do not need to contact us" sent last week of January 2025 This year did not wait until no pension arrived then having to phone them, 2 years ago they sent another copy via email, so this time just printed this [saved on PC] off and filled it out and sent. in 10 years Never received the Life Certificate via Post from them, always asked on the phone to sent via email, but they never do !!

Do have a smartphone but don't have cashless payment options on it No idea about this QR thing, have tried to use in the past but beyond me - like never use Line as no matter how many people have shown me still cannot log-in

Never bought a package, sure from time to time you get a pop up to buy a package/upgrade Never uninstall the programme or ever re-install, in over 30 years using Kingsoft/WPS never had read only mode ??

have a look at https://www.wps.com/ years ago mid 1990s changed to Kingsoft Office, was FREE, then the name changed in 2014 to WPS Office has everything = not likely to go back to W$$$ Office

No idea why some cannot get a Vaccine Appears I have a bad reaction to almost all Vaccines, remember as a child had the chickenpox vaccine then spent a few days in Hospital, 2020 Dr assured me the the Shingles Vaccine would be OK, so had Part 1 = 5 days in Hospital told Not to have part 2.. Have a list of Vaccines cannot have [or did have + bad reaction] Appears these days Dr constantly want to get old people vaccinated, there again also have a list of bad reaction to some Medications. just last month Dr prescribed some Antibiotic [cannot take Penicillin] = Blood Pressure dropped dangerously + Diarrhea = Nurse said stop so took 3 days only out of 10 day supply. Appointment made for skin Specialist at a big Hospital after 3 years of treatment at local Hospital = still the same Guess just life for some of us.
