An icemaking fridge just drinks out of the tap, when the bucket is full it stops making ice. That doesn't change if you place a waterfilter in the waterline.

 

 

Now you have me puzzled. My original comment was about turning off water supply if leaving the house for 24 hours or so. Then you replied that you didn't like that idea coz your fridge needs water supply for the ice maker. I queried about water supply to fridge for ice maker, continuing along the line of  ice maker continuing to operate, assuming you will be absent as was my original reason for turning off the water supply. Then you comment that you are aware the ice maker will stop producing once bucket is full. So what don't you like about my original idea of turning off water supply when vacating the house for extended period ?

What am I missing ???

Yes that's a smart thing to do but i don't like it. Our fridge needs constant water for the icemaker anyway.

 

I also wonder how long those blue waterpipes can stand sunshine before they collapse...has anybody experience with those? We have a waterpump so they are always under pressure.

Issue 2 first. I've had the blue PVC pipes exposed to all the elements at the pump, filter & storage tank now for over 5 years. No sign of any deterioration.

Re the fridge ice maker. Your comment has me wondering. I'm not familiar with ice makers.... but. Surely there must be some control device, cut out switch. If you are away & not using the ice, I can't imagine the fridge will keep producing ice once the ice receptacle is full. If it were me I'd be checking with Mr Google as to the operation of your particular model fridge to ascertain the operation function of the ice maker. If NO control & the ice maker continued on its merry way making ice.... imagine what would happen when you eventually opened the fridge door.

With modern devices these days there's always safety controls. My Samsung washing machine for example. I usually  turn off the power & water after use. Yeah, I know, control freak. I sometimes turn on the power & set the program but overlook turning water supply on. No problem. The machine won't operate. As soon as I turn water on, machine starts immediately.

I'll be interested in knowing how you get on with the ice maker.

Cheers.....     Mal.

I'm sorry. I didn't realize English was your second language.

And speaking of smoking... what's your pleasure ? Sounds a bit like you may have been over indulging.

Maybe start here.   https://www.google.co.th/search?q=miami+domestic+violence+hotline&oq=miami+domestic&aqs=chrome.3.69i59j69i57j0l4.14229j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

They might be able to point you in the right direction.

I realize that I'm a bit of a control freak, but... when leaving home for more than 24 hours I always turn water off at the mains. Also power at switch box, except for the fridge.

But hey.... that's just me.

Not meant to be a flame, but... if you were so concerned why didn't you remove said tool & place it against the power pole or lay it on the road beside the valve access ?  just wondering.

dont forget when you hit  this its YOUR fault, Thai logic  you should have seen it there............I aint joking

Thai + logic = oxymoron.

"

Best way to get from Novatel Suvarnabhumi to Don Muang?"  Are you looking for the best way or the cheapest way ? BIG difference.

Isaan is a huge part of LOS. Maybe if you give an idea of what you'd like to see or a particular area you'd like to visit, members can respond more accurately. I live in far NE Isaan, farming community, & have never been bothered by any burn off. Maybe not the same in other provinces.

I find that the river towns generally have more to offer. But hey, that's just me.

Thai women dont like very short hair or bald heads. They dont like beards. So golden rule; more on top than on the bottom.

Sorry, have to disagree. "Thai women don't like very short hair" My experience is that most Thai women prefer a guy to have short hair. A couple of times I've let mine get to collar length & been told to get it cut... short back & sides.

This wasn't restricted to just the one lady.

Ok, thanks for that. I'll pop on over to Tak in the morning & grab a kilo or two.

They look good, but I couldn't eat that many.

Not many friends ?

Standard price in Tops Sakon Nakhon is 99 Baht. Small & hard as a rock. I have splashed out a couple of times for special occasion but have to buy  4 to ensure get equivalent quantity of 1 or 2.   I don't bother checking the price anymore. Always crap.

On another note, a few years back when I lived in Chiang Mai, avos were plentiful at the road side stalls in the hinterland a short drive away. Guess I was spoilt. Oh, the price was much, much less than 99 baht. Often bought 4 large & got change from 100 bath.

This may be a little extreme, but it's a technique I use because I was tired of scrubbing the underarms of my clothes, not to remove stains, but to remove odor, even with using deodorant.  You can have your underarm area treated with botox to stop sweating.  100cc, a full vial, 1/2 for each side, so shop around.  The first time I did it, I went to a high-end hospital to make sure it was done right and then I realized, it's not like someone was messing with my face and any store-front clinic could do it.  Multiple pricks with little injections of the stuff all around the underarm area, that they first numb with either cream or simply ice in a plastic bag.  The ice actually works better.  

 

Lasted about six months the first time and each time it lasts longer, I think because the sweat glands are getting killed off, kind of like the way a woman's face looks after she has multiple botox treatments year after year.  Now I can go almost a year between treatments.

 

Still have to use a  mild deodorant, but the sweating and odor has stopped.  

"This may be a little extreme"  I was under the impression that sweating was a normal body function ? 

"I like wearing shirts"  Therein lies your problem !

Yes, yes, I know... I'm leaving.
