Exactly..... A wild animal to me means it has no owner.

Isn't it close to 45% already? Money you make is taxed. Money you spend is taxed. ..... and on top of that you're taxed for things like your home, land, personal property (car)

If I am correct, right now if you make more than $163,200 USD you stop paying SS tax. Why is that? Why should anyone be able to stop especially when they are making so much money? I say - Do not put a maximum taxable earnings on income to pay into SS - Do a thorough investigation on those that are receiving disability income from SS. There are many that are abusing the system. - Stop spending so much money on other countries that do no good for the USA. Help your own people first!

It depends on your home? How much did it cost and how much is it worth? I always laugh at those folks who drive expensive vehicles but live in a run down shack. In the USA I lived in a city which is nestled against the foothills of the beautiful Rocky Mountains. The closer the home was to the mountains the more expensive it was. My house was right before the most expensive neighborhood near the foothills. Before my home was another neighborhood that had houses which were nice but slightly smaller than mine and on smaller lots. Just before that neighborhood was a trailer park. Driving home, which was due west, you would have to go past all those neighborhoods I just mentioned before you got to your own. It was hilarious to see all those BMWs, Mercedes, convertible sports cars, etc. turn into the trailer park.

What about the sides? I had a scooter run directly into my driver's side door why I was stationary at a stop sign.

Read the linked article....

Question is, was it really there or did he put it there? I recall the days of syringes being found in cans of Pepsi..... But, video cameras showed the truth!

I must be a lucky one as I have entered many karaoke bars both in Thailand and China. Yes, even a handful or so in Chiang Mai. And the only issue I had was being overcharged a few times.

....and before clicking to open the thread I thought the headline was talking about some Russian tourists.

A gardener? Looking at that rubbish around the house I would hardly call him a gardener. Karma strikes again.....

That is just one of the many reasons I would never let my daughter ride in one of those so called school bus vans/trucks. Myself or my wife drives my daughter to/from school every day.

.......'smoked a fag' has a totally different meaning for us Americans....

Hey, thanks for sharing that, much appreciated. Now it makes more sense why you would like for it to be exactly the same. I just couldn't understand why a person would pay 'any price' for some basic furniture when there is a ton of choices out there. Reading the post that 'NoDisplayName' made it would then make me ask, did you tell the owners you would buy theirs from them with double the price they originally paid?

Flame? Nope, just a suggestion - only wanting to be helpful.

No, no at all..... just trying to open up the world to 'common sense'.

That's already been stated in an earlier post as well as me replying to it. Save yourself a post and read what others have posted.

Yepper, I fully understand and knew that. I was perhaps assuming that it was the USA's SSA as there's been chatter on here that some Medicare plans cover medical bills generated in foreign countries.

Be sure to empty your pockets.....

Just curious, why do they have to be exactly as shown in the pics? I mean I could understand if one chair is needed because an older one of the same got damaged or if you wanted to increase the seating size from 4 chairs to 5.

Beautiful.....but now smoky. Nan

So you are Thai and you not only have the 30 THB healthcare plan but Thai Social Security?

Social Security..... What country?

I was in a government hospital for 4 days. I went to the emergency room with nasty chest pains and was admitted into cardiac intensive care ward after being treated by a doctor and probably 4 or 5 assistants for 3 or 4 hours in the emergency room. On day 3 I went through the procedure of having a stent placed in my right pulmonary artery. I received 8 different prescriptions on the day I was released. Total bill = 163k THB I was treated well and the doctor in charge spoke excellent English. The only complaint was the food.

I did the same when 'somebody' had liked my posts a lot. I thought 'somebody' was following me and I wanted to know more about 'somebody' so I tried checking out his/her profile and found that there was nobody using 'somebody' as their alias. That's when I figured it out, it was the webmaster who changed it so nobody could identify who was liking or disliking a person's posts. Perhaps it was a thought it was a way there would be less harassing/flaming/ridiculing/arguing with others. How did that work out webmaster?
