This is in response to the second part of your headline: https://finance.yahoo.com Dow soars 900 pts as US-China pact spurs stocks Wall Street is setting up for a banner day as the scope of tariff cuts surprised investors.

There's no pleasing some people.

This may well be the most informative and interesting post you've made to date.

I started watching this video, but had to give up: ran out of Kleenex.

This is not a recommendation or suggestion; rather, just for your information: Have you considered using an agent?

Sounds like your toilet tank is not full enough: there isn't enough water volume being released to do an effective flush. This can be remedied by adjusting the height of the slider attachment that determines how much water flows into the tank before the water shuts off.

I remember hearing a story of when the troop had returned from a late night "storm damage callout" in BAOR in the early 70s, and the duty cook put on carrot sandwiches. They were going to lynch him until the Guard Commander interjected.

That's telling them.

I think you are being a bit harsh here: at least 49% of what comes out of his mouth is true...

As long as they complete the latest Bond movie - filmed in Bangkok - titled "Enough is Never Enough", I'm okay.

Keep your cards close to your chest.

(and where / what side you dress).

Are the bars closed?

Is this for your Masters or PhD?

It says my location under my Profile picture.

1. I received a letter today outlining my (British) army annual pension increase (of 1.7%). 2. However, they made a mistake in in the figure quoted as my old annual pension amount (the figure being slightly lower than the actual amount paid). 3. So, the figure stated for my new annual pension was also wrong. 4. In their letter, they stated: NEW RATE OF £ (figures) A YEAR FROM 07/04/2025. 5. However, the April payment was still at the old rate. 6. (And the May payment was an increase - albeit incorrectly calculated - as I stated in 2 and 3 above). 7. To keep it polite on this forum, I will just add that I have written Equiniti a letter outlining their mistakes and requesting their attention in correcting them.

Acknowledged and acknowledged.

I just count myself lucky that when I decided to relocate to Thailand (in 2005), I did so via a Non-A visa. At the time, there was a choice between this and a Non-O visa ; if I am wrong, so be it. I remember that some years later, the Non O-A visa came into being and since that date I have heard nothing but trouble that this visa has caused people.

"The video, now widely circulated online, begins with the woman asserting that Israeli tourists play a crucial role in bolstering Thailand's economy." (This reminds me of the YouTube video of the U.S. Traffic cop who pulled over a Karen for texting while driving - when she said something like: "I pay your wages", at which the cop said: "Okay, we're done".) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl_if3NzoC0&ab_channel=AugustTheDuck

Signed contract? Passport copy? One month's rent as security deposit? TM30 copy?

How are you signing in to Hotmail (sorry for the question)? What I do - on a new computer - is type something like "hotmail login" into Google. Once I get there, I save the page in "Other favorites". I never navigate to "Outlook (new)" via the (lower left-hand corner) blue box Search on the computer screen.

I am not a U.S. citizen, but have closely followed U.S. politics ever since nine eleven, starting with Dubya, Obama - along with Hillary's Benghazi fiasco, Donny Mk1, Sleepy Joe and finally Donny Mk2. I can see what Trump's intentions were/are regarding the likes of the Southern Border, and his predecessor's "Open border policy" and the resultant effects, Sanctuary cities, Doge and cutting out fraud and waste, so I obviously understand Democrat (and obviously some Republican) supporters' views on him; however, it looks like one of the main things he wants to do is for the Fed to lower interest rates - so this means that he doesn't care about the dollar weakening. As for the rest of the U.S. economy, one can only hope it doesn't tank.

I went to (Pattaya or is it Jomtien) Immigration (Jomtien soi 5 in case anyone didn't know) - actually last year when I needed to some other task (maybe Res. Cert.) - and the girl informed me that my TM30 happened to show the wrong address. I apologized and she filled out a new TM30 for me straight away and clipped it in my passport. I asked how much and she said there was no charge. I therefore proceeded to what I originally went there to do.

I bought some vine tomatoes from a local supermarket a couple of months ago and when I cut one in half, I noticed what I thought was small white worms inside. I tried all the other tomatoes and they were the same, so I binned the lot. A couple of weeks ago, I bought some vine tomatoes from a Thai market, and they were the same. However, upon checking online, they are in fact: "Seeds Sprouting Inside a Tomato". https://uconnladybug.wordpress.com/2014/04/11/seeds-sprouting-inside-a-tomato/
