  1. My cat isn't smart enough to be able to write.....
  2. That link was not for chalk. Think of chalk used for writing on a chalkboard, doesn't it stay on a wall? Here’s ant chalk.
  3. The chalk will stick to the wall I'm sure.
  4. Buy that chalk that is used to keep ants away and perhaps put it around the perimeter of your electrical outlet so the ants can't crawl on the cord. Ants were always getting in the cat's food bowl so I put a circle of that chalk down and then put the bowl inside the circle...... no more ants in the cat food.
  5. Why is it so difficult to find a decent rental property somewhere close to or in the city of Nan? I have been looking for quite awhile to find a rental house (small - 1 or 2 BR), condo, or apartment but have been unsuccessful. Is it a lack of or doesn't Thais advertise rentals online? If anyone has any ideas how one could find a place or even an agent who could assist please send me a PM, it would be greatly appreciated.
  6. Sure. load it up..... and might as well load it on your friends' and family's PC too.
  7. My father-in-law who served a couple tours in Vietnam had PTSD. If he was sleeping and heard a loud noise he would roll out of bed and hide under it.
  8. Reminds me of one of the hotels in BKK I used to frequent when traveling here on business over 20 years ago...... They had a TV in the shower!
  9. While living in China I saw many men beating their women in public almost on a daily occasion. I was told by a close Chinese friend (female) not to get involved as it probably wouldn't be good for me. And here in Thailand I was told pretty much the same thing from a close Thai friend (male) during one of my first trips here well over 20 years ago. Matter of fact he had even told me not to provide aide to any Thai I saw injured in an accident even though I was certified in CPR at the time. He informed me that if I touched the injured person and they became disabled or even died because of the accident that their family might say it was my fault and sue me.
  10. Well back in the USA I had a couple plants growing at the edge of my strawberry patch. Here in LOS I found some at Rimping when I was living in Chiang Mai. That was about 2 or 3 years ago and was the last time I was doing any serious baking.
  11. Nice!! Reminds me of the two things I made back in the USA using old refrigerators. One was a smoker to smoke the many Kokanee salmon that my friends and I snagged. The other was a CO2 kegerator which was heavily used..... Damn I miss those pony kegs of great Colorado microbrews!
  12. Strawberries can be frozen and used for baking pies.... Luv strawberry-rhubarb pie!!! I have even used frozen strawberries when making homemade ice cream. I have never tried growing strawberries here in Thailand but grew them easily back in the USA. They seem so expensive here and unless you go somewhere and pick your own most in the stores are moldy and starting to rot or else too green to eat. My father and step-mother spent very little on groceries. She was always canning the things grown in our big @$$ garden (damn I still dread about weeding that thing thinking about it). With my father being an avid hunter/fisherman as well as having a part-time job/hobby as a taxidermist there was always meat in the multiple freezers they had...... I miss all that wild game... Wild boar, deer, elk, antelope, duck, rabbit, goose, pheasant, grouse, dove, turtle, frog, and just about every freshwater fish you could name.
  13. We had a little sprinkle last night that lasted about 20 minutes. Got soaked up real quick.
  14. Wow, you had a great job, I pumped gas (& diesel) for $1.15 an hour..... all while going to college full time! Yepper, worked 48 hrs. a week and went to school full time. Hardly any time to sleep or study. ....and while staying at my brother's in Ft. Lauderdale we went to Miami a few times. Didn't see Springsteen but we did hit some of the fancy clubs and of course South Beach to see all those lovely breasts!!! NOTE: I did see Springsteen back in the late 80s at 'Big Mac' (Denver). The ticket was a birthday gift from an old girlfriend. Good concert but not my favorite one.
  15. Someone made a fuse for you? Hmmmmmm.........
  16. Don't worry, we see you!!!
  17. Until further investigation and reporting, it might be that they had a lot of fertilizer stored somewhere.
  18. It was said that the barn was more than 2.1m sq ft (198k sq meters)....... I would say it could have held quite a few cows?
  19. I'm so frugal I steal packets of sugar, creamer, and toilet paper whenever I can. I even look under tables for some chewing gum and fight soi dogs for a chicken bone.
  20. Well it appears my process has come to an end and I have now been approved. Good luck to those that are still waiting or have yet to start. Show me the money!!!
  21. 60 days??? LOL That didn't take long.... Looks like Baltimore approved 2 days after my call with Manila FBU!!
  22. I understand what you say and with even doing a little Googling myself I come up with 2009. I may be getting older but I haven't lost my memory. I know I read about bitcoin back in the 90s as I was living in The USA at the time and reading various media such as 'Money', 'Financial Times', 'WSJ', 'Individual Investor', etc... back then. In 2009 I was then doing online trading and living in China. Maybe what I was read was someone predicting the foreseeable future. Sort of like when I read back in the 90s that the future would be about 'information', the gathering of and selling information. Yeah, back in the day when you actually needed a phonebook.... ????
  23. As much as I hate to say it but the OP sounds just like the chit us Americans go through in order to try to receive our Social Security pension benefits when living in Thailand.
  24. Kowloon is only good for two things: - Overpriced shopping - Ferry terminal to mainland China My friend was eating lunch yesterday inside a Big C food court when a Thai woman sneaked up behind him and dumped a large bucket of water all over him...... Yes, inside the food court!
