Only possible because "Warp Speed" produced the vaccine in an unprecedented short time. Warp speed wasn't started by Biden. However, again not on topic, so no more on that.

Correct and I changed my post because of that. I doubt he wanted to lockdown, but this thread isn't about that so I won't discuss further.

been given permission to frack where it was previously denied Seems principles of the Big Guy are somewhat flexible then They ain't going to resume fracking unless it's profitable to do so, and Biden is leading on the "gas is too expensive" front. Also, I guess they won't unless Biden guarantees the Democrats won't ban it again once the situation stabilizes. Keystone back on again perhaps?

So people should just lie down and die quietly then? If it's not Biden's problem to solve, who is going to solve it? Why has Biden not created a "Warp speed" type solution? That worked for vaccines, it could work for inflation, but only if Mr "I'll unite the country" pulls finger and does something.

Cancelling Keystone at the very start of his term didn't exactly help. Restrictions were created by the government, so, IMO, the government is responsible for growers not growing, truckers not trucking, miners not mining, and smelters not smelting. I believe the previous POTUS was criticized by your side for not locking down soon enough, so don't blame him for it. I made my position on lockdowns clear when they started, so not going to repeat now.

Doesn't rely on sunshine, wind, big batteries. Works 24/7. If it is as safe as claimed, what's the problem?

Montha Hotel not far from the moat. About a fast 5 minute walk. Phone first as was only one masseuse when I went. Very nice hotel owned by Swiss guy, no rip offs.

My, how times have changed. When I was a kid, we made paper decorations ourselves, tree was cut from somewhere in the bush, mother made presents herself. It's not supposed to be about how much money you can spend on it. I'll accept that a tree might be a bit hard to cut down without being arrested in a British city, but the rest can be done.

Every Christmas for me in LOS was also just another day. Christmas is for families with kids IMO, and I had none. Wife didn't care about it either.

No. The headline does not mention Samui/ Phangan. Can be anywhere.

You are correct. I missed that. Anyway, Montha Hotel is the cheese (see my previous post ).

Sorted it for you. No extras, at least when I had a massage there. https://www.booking.com/hotel/th/montha.html Spa Fitness Full-body massage Hand massage Head massage Couples' massage Foot massage Neck massage Back massage Massage Additional charge Fitness center

OP is male.

Ah, on a closer look, you are in Chiang Mai and a male. It's not compulsory to be liposuctioned- just tell her only massage and promise a nice tip if a good massage, OR, get a visiting one from a reputable company- ask a friendly female hotel receptionist.

Obvious place is Wat Po. Not expensive. Want a female oriented spa ( whatever that may be ) good luck finding one of them cheap, however, why don't you try your hotel massage place?

If I won a million on lotto, I'd be on the next plane to LOS.

The back-breaking inflation ..................... was in the 70s Thanks for the correction. My memory isn't what it used to be. Was bad for me as earned basically zero % on my savings after 2007 crash. I used to earn up to ( or over ) 12% on term deposits.

A good saying to remember is "the enemy of my enemy is my friend ( at least till my enemy is vanquished )".

When living in Lamphun I was helping a local clean up after a storm. I didn't have to, and we were getting along quite well, but it's not like he offered to buy me a beer or even offer a cold drink as a prelude to becoming mates.

You joker you,

I agree 100%, but call it a mental defect if you wish, I am unable to simply ignore the past, so cursed to relive it. I find this forum is a good way to forget about it for a while, which is one reason I spend far too much time on it. If not on here, dvd movies work too, so I watch a great many. Never just lie around sunbathing as that lets the memories run rampant. Need to be constantly doing something, anything.

Take the pain? I could if I was dumb enough to get one.

I knew hard working Thais.

Ask what?

No wonder they were so determined to sell that IMO toxic site.
