    pay every drink bill shows regular experienced ‘been there and done that ’ expat and not a 2 weeks millionaire that can be bill padding. Bad for male ego and ladies business.. 😄

    My ego has never needed stroked.......   and FWIW, I've paid many rounds of 'ladies' drinks' and having done so successfully without a single whimper using cash when the drinks arrived.

    AMC Gremlin orange with a brown drivers side door

    My HS friend had a Gremlin...straight 6 and very fast for such a small light stock car. And his sister had an AMC Javelin that was pretty quick too for a stock car.

    Great............:thumbsup:

    I flew over for the Daytona 500 in 1995, got 4 tickets off a friend's friend who had a British Bike shop in the USA. Of course, we made a 2/3 week trip of it, that was fun....:clap2:

    My high school friend and baseball teammate was the President of Daytona Speedway for a number of years.....  RIP Robin!

    My hearing is very good, but I have never been able to understand most song lyrics, and need subtitles for movies

     

    Found out recently, its "auditory processing disorder"

     

    I read it's a symptom of ADHD, but a separate disorder

     I actually miss those speed reading courses I took back in high school prepping for college. It helped me to better comprehend and retain what I was reading......and doing it at a much faster pace definitely helped.

  5. "Phuket immigration forgot to put the 90 day Report Slip in my passport on the last extension......."

     

    Duhhhhhh, your fault for not checking before leaving Immigration. Always check for accuracy and completion of forms and stamps BEFORE leaving Immigration.

     

    I had them switch my 90 form for another person's. Yepper, looked at the 90 form they stapled in my passport as I was walking out the door and I noticed it wasn't my name on it.

     

    I had another occurrence where my extension stamp wasn't initialized by the big boss. I noticed and questioned this before I left Immigration. I got a 'sorry', they took my passport back, and after waiting another 15 minutes it was returned to me with the stamp being initialed as required.

     

    Just because they made mistakes doesn't mean that will be a useable excuse when you are found to be overstaying.
